Excellent !
Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel. L’emplacement proche du centre d’El Nido mais au calme. Le service de navette fluide pour rejoindre le centre d’El Nido. Le coucher de soleil exceptionnel. Le restaurant.

Cons:

La plage devant n’est pas idéale pour la baignade mais cela permet de se tremper un peu.

静かなビーチリゾート
Pros:

ビーチフロントの部屋はすばらしかった。
エルニドで4泊したが、うち3泊はタウンの中心部でうるさかった。ここは静かで安らげた。もっと長く滞在したかった。
タウンから外れた場所にあるけど、一定の場所まで送迎してくれる。送迎の車は1台しかないため、時間によっては待つこともある。

Cons:

歯ブラシがなかった。フロントに聞いたらちょうど切らしていたところで、近くに買いに行ってと言われた。幸い予備を持っていたため事なきを得た。

Schöne ruhige Unterkunft außerhalb des El Nido Trubels und doch in 10 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar
Pros:

Ruhige Unterkunft außerhalb des Zentrums von El Nido.
Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Mein Flug nach El Nido wurde gecancelt. Ich musste nach Puerto Princesa umbuchen, wo ich abends ankam.
Das Hotel hat für mich aus der Ferne noch einen shared Van Transfer organisiert.

Cons:

Nichts

Fantastique!
Pros:

Un séjour fantastique! La vue de notre chambre et du restaurant est incroyable. La situation en retrait de la ville est idéale, propice à la déconnexion tout en étant très proche du centre en scooter ou en tuk tuk. Le personnel est agréable et souriant. Les mets proposés sont excellents!

Pros:

La vue est spectaculaire, le restaurant très bon.

Cons:

Un peu cher pour ce que c'est. La chambre était grande et propre, mais le matelas très dur. Les nombreux coqs à côté démarrent dès 4 h du matin. L'ensemble de ce petit hôtel mériterait un bon rafraîchissement.

Beautiful location
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and very helpful. They arranged the transfer from El Nido Town Centre. They have their own tuk tuk that they will take you to and from the town centre at anytime you want. It is a ride along the beach, so can be subject to tides. However we walked back during the night and only took about 15mins and was an easy walk. The hotel was lovely and the room was amazing, very spacious and had all the amenities that were needed. We had drinks and dumplings at the in house bar overlooking the water which was pretty amazing. They also were happy to organise a transfer to the airport for a very early flight out of El Nido.

Cons:

A small detail - the rooms are not very sound proof and we could hear our neighbours at night chatting and the digs barking.

Great time, amazing staff
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I also like the raw beachy vibe of it.

Cons:

The only thing would be lights in the rooms. Instead of having 2 top lights with a cold light its better to locate smaller lampa in the rooms which would malw a more cozy effect.
