Lovely stay, highly recommended!
Pros:

We had a great stay at Focus Room, thanks especially to the kindness and attentiveness of the manager, Manu. He helped organize everything we needed - from airport pick-up and motorcycle rental to tours and laundry, making our stay very easy.
Breakfast was really good with good variety, and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of a cold bottle of water waiting for us each day when we returned from our activities.
The location is perfect: walking distance to town for restaurants and about a 20-minute motorcycle ride to Las Cabañas Beach.

Pros:

Personnel agréable
Piscine petite mais agréable en dehors des travaux autour
Un peu éloigné du centre… c’est un plus ou un moins en fonction de chacun

Cons:

Équipement vétuste, peu de pression d’eau
Situé dans la rue principale avec bcp de travaux autour, bruyant. Mal isolé
Faire attention car on a voulu me faire payer les petits déjeuners alors qu’ils étaient compris dans ma réservation
Pour moi tarif élevé.. mais c’est El Nido 😉

Wir waren zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt und konnten die Ferien geniessen.
Pros:

Schönes Zimmer mit allem was man brauchte. Alles war sehr sauber.
Personal war sehr freundlich.
Frühstück wurde vors Zimmer gebracht.

Cons:

Schön wäre auch, wenn man auch ein frühes Frühstück bekommen könnte. Wenn man einen frühen Ausflug (Tauchen) gemacht hatte, war es nicht möglich das Frühstück zu bekommen, das dies erst um 7.30 Uhr serviert wurde.

Close to the center but quiet
Pros:

It was close enough to El Nido Town and Corong Corong but far enough to avoid the noise. The personal was very nice.
We recommend to order the breakfast. They serve it to the terrasse at the time you indicate and it is delicious.
They also help you with transfers to/from the airport in case you need help.
Despite weather being not so good, we had a nice time in Focus Rooms.

Cons:

The pressure of the water could be better but I don't think it was a problem of the place but of El Nido area.

Very nice stay !
Pros:

The rooms are lovely, spotless, and have a great atmosphere. The hotel feels quite private, especially when staying with a large group (we were eight), since there are only a few rooms. Having breakfast delivered to the room each morning is also a really nice touch. Only 15mn walk from the city center!

Cons:

Nothing it was really good.

Pros:

This is a boutique style hotel with only 8 rooms. We loved the location being a short tricycle ride to town and around 25 minute walk. Room was comfortable and we used the outdoor setting a lot. Staff, were exceptional ... thank you to Manu, Hanna and your team.

Cons:

A little noisy one of the nights from party people somewhere near, nearby dogs and church singing at 5:30 a.m. But overall slept pretty well.

Pros:

De prijs voor deze kamers is veel te hoog gezien je voor dezelfde prijs elders kunt krijgen.

Cons:

Achteraf gezien staat de prijs niet in verhouding voor wat je krijgt. 75,- voor een nacht is ruimschoots voldoende.
