Séjour agréable dans l’ensemble grâce à un personnel très gentil et toujours prêt à aider. La climatisation fonctionne b
Pros:

La vue du restaurant la Clim

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner est bon, même s’il est parfois un gras ( beaucoup d’huile ), et la vue sur la mer est magnifique.

Malheureusement, le Wi-Fi est quasiment inutilisable. Malgré plusieurs codes et réseaux fournis, nous n’avons même pas réussi à charger correctement une page Google, quelle que soit l’heure de la journée. Il y a aussi beaucoup de moustiques dans les chambres et la salle de bain aurait besoin d’être rafraîchie.

Autre point à prendre en compte, l’isolation sonore est très limitée. On entend énormément ce qui se passe autour, que ce soit les voisins ou les bruits extérieurs. Si vous avez le sommeil léger, cela peut vite devenir gênant.

Dans l’ensemble, cela reste un bon hôtel, situé à 15 minutes à pied du centre-ville.

Highly recommended stay if the AC and WIFI can be improved
Pros:

Amazing stay with spacious rooms and a beautiful balcony view of El Nido. The property is beachfront, and honestly, the balcony view itself is worth the price.

The bed was very comfortable, and the washroom was big, clean, and well-maintained, with toiletries provided. Breakfast was really good, and the staff were extremely helpful with arranging tours and transfers.

Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended.

Cons:

The only thing to note is the location. It is around a 20-minute walk from the town square through a narrow road. The property does provide free 24/7 tricycle transfers from the town square, which is very helpful. However, if you return very late at night, there may be a chance that the tricycle driver is asleep or not immediately available.
Wifi and AC speed can be improved.

Everything excellent except the Internet
Pros:

Perfect location and view! Our room was beachfront and directly facing Cadlao Island.

Cons:

I like everything except the very weak to no internet connection at Room 4, so we had to stay in the dining area till late at night to work. I could easily rate this place 11/10 except for the unreliable Internet. If they can fix this, I can recommend this place to my friends who are in WFH setup. They’re aware about this since it’s a recurring comment in this platform, and I hope they really fix it instead of just apologizing. In this day and age where people travel to relax and work, a reliable internet is nonnegotiable.

I had an excellent stay at your hotel. Will visit there again!
Pros:

The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Staffs are super accommodating and were available anytime of day even at night, if we have any queries or what. The room is spacious and instagrammable-worthy. 🫣

It also helps a lot that they’ve arranged pick-up and drop-off from the hotel to the town-square (and vice-versa).

They have a lot of options for breakfast—with rice and non-rice. Coffee, tea, or canned fruit juice are also offered for breakfast.

Cons:

Maybe just improve your WiFi connection because it’s really weak especially when we’re inside our room.
