A fantastic week.
Pros:

Location is stunning, beach is very clean and maintained daily. The hotel was excellent. Although I was here for business purposes, I was on stand-by, in case I was required. so had a nice short break instead.

Wonderful First Stay in El Nido with Excellent Service and Location
Pros:

It was our first time visiting El Nido, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Our room was spotless and very well maintained. The hotel’s location was also perfect, just a short walk from many great restaurants and attractions. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to El Nido.

Muy lindo hotel, mala seguridad en la playa
Pros:

Habitacion muy confortable y bien equipada. Personal muy amable. Desayuno y restaurante muy bueno. La playa muy cerca, muy bonita y agradable para nadar el mar

Cons:

La seguridad en la playa, nos robaron nuestras pertenencias mientras fuimos a hacer una corta caminata. Los guardias muy distraidos viendo sus propios celulares. Mala experencia que baja la calificacion

Relaxing Stay at Huni Lio
Pros:

The hotel is right on Lio beach where you can easily walk to nearby restaurants. Lio beach has a nice laid back vibe. The hotel staff are very helpful and polite. The hotel serves filtered water which is a great plus to our stay. We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this hotel.

Simply Paradise!
Pros:

We cannot praise this hotel enough, we stayed for a week end of May. The hotel was almost empty (slow season I guess). Beds were good, the hotel was quiet at night, breakfast buffet was great, service exceptional (attentive, polite and always welcoming you with a big smile). Pool area is beautiful. There were plenty of beach chairs on the beach and in the shade for us to choose from. Lio beach is one of the best beaches in El Nido. It is actually part of Lio estate which has guards 24/7, crews raking the leaves and cleaning the beach every day. Beach is spotlessly clean, no garbage, no plastic and no seaweed! There are many restaurants right on Lio beach so we had plenty of choices for lunch and dinner, some items on the hotel menu were also very good like the chicken wings and margaritas.
The beach has fine sand, hard packed in some areas so it was ideal for playing sports ( ball/frisbee).
We have travelled all over South East Asia and our Huni Lio beach vacation was the best we ever had !

Excellent Stay
Pros:

What I enjoyed the most was the super comfortable bed and the pool. I also loved the convenience of having pop-up bars and shops near the resort, which made the experience even more fun and relaxing.

I really enjoyed the breakfast, especially the bacon. During my first stay, I already remembered how good the bacon was, so on our second visit, I really looked forward to having it again. Overall, it was another wonderful and memorable stay for us.

A good hotel to stay at Lio beach
Pros:

Location is fantastic. One of the best “omelette”.
Restaurant and bar staff are attentive. Free airport shuttle and what a beautiful place to watch the sunset from their beach area. Will certainly come back and stay with them again.
