Très beau séjour à El Nido
Pros:

L’emplacement à 10 minutes à pied du centre d’El nido, dans un endroit très calme.
Le point de vue sur la baie est magnifique. Le restaurant et le petit déjeuner sont très biens.

Cons:

Pas de délimitation autour de la douche, aussi la salle de bain s’inonde complètement après chaque douche…
Quelques remontées d’odeur d’égoût. Fuite d’eau au niveau des toilettes.

Central but quiet
Pros:

The restaurant had a postcard view of El Nido, and the staff were all lovely and welcoming all throughout our short stay! Also, pick up from town square worked out as promised.

Cons:

Our room was a bit stuffy, bed was a bit uncomfortable.

Lovely room with exceptional views from the second floor. The staff were extremely accommodating. The free ride into the centre of town was a great bonus. The restaurant offers gorgeous views, and the food was absolutely delicious. I would totally recommend staying here!

Fab sunsets and excellent service
Pros:

The beach front rooms are large and very comfortable. The bar is perfect for watching the sunset. Food and drink excellent. Great choice for breakfast. It’s an easy 20min walk out of town but they have a tuk tuk service 24hours a day.

Cons:

Loved everything about it.

Beautiful rooms and on the beach
Pros:

We loved this hotel, couldn’t record it more! The room was beautiful and spacious, only thing to note the AC is very loud and we had to switch it off at night to sleep. Free shuttle into the main square by the hotel, you are right on a beautiful beach and we liked being a bit out of the town and walking in when we wanted to, it was so peaceful here!

Pros:

Tiene una pequeña cocinita comunitaria y un porche individual

Cons:

La presión del agua es muy deficiente, para lavarte el pelo ni con suerte.
Vas a necesitar tuk tuk si o si, calcula el precio todas las veces que necesites salir.
La zona es muy turistica y desolada a la vez
Había un animal que siempre defecaba en los asientos de la cabaña. Impedía el acceso para disfrutarlo (aunque el resto estaba bien cuidado).

Not going to recommend
Pros:

The view was great.

Cons:

The room has holes in the roof and walls so mosquitoes get in. Aircon is super loud. Can hear the bar area from my room. The food at the restaurant was bad. Location is hard to get to unless it’s low tide and on a trike only. Motorbike or trike is the only vehicle you can use to get there.

Paradise
Pros:

The view was incredible both from our room and the beautiful restaurant. Watching the sunsets and early morning light every day was a highlight of our trip to the Philippines. Good to know the restaurant takes credit cards and they don’t charge an extra fee. The food and cocktails are delicious and reasonable. The free shuttle into town is available all day and night. It is also a short 12 minute walk.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Amazing! We loved our stay here. There is a free tuk tuk in to town but the walk was beautiful and only 10 minutes - so it wasn’t really needed. The staff were easy to communicate via WhatsApp and we would book the tuk tuk for alternative places. The breakfast was delicious and view was fabulous. We swam right out from the restaurant/bar and it was so clear and calm. The sunset was amazing to watch each afternoon while having a drink. The rooms were clean, comfortable and had a nice bungalow character.

Cons:

Nothing! All was great.
