Pros:

The location in El Nido town was perfect. Right in the middle of town and close to restaurants, shops and the beach for island tours.
The room is spacious, clean, practical with excellent room facilities for a beach location. .
Complimentary breakfast was delicious.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
On demand drinking water in hot, warm or cold is a great idea.
Overall, a perfect place to stay for your island hopping experience. Thanks for a great stay.

Cons:

The stairs could put some people off if you had mobility issues, however I found the exercise rewarding.
