Beautiful beachfront hotel
Pros:

Very pretty setting and right on the beachfront. Friendly staff and free tuktuk into town was helpful.

Cons:

The road to the hotel was a bit dodgy, and with the rain it was pretty muddy. The tuktuk managed it fine though.

Comodo, vista spettacolare, cibo buono, staff gentile
Pros:

Staff gentile e disponibile, colazione buona, ristorante buono. Vista eccezionale, proprio come nelle foto!

Cons:

Purtroppo l'hotel non è nel centro di El nido quindi c'è una stradina sterrata per raggiungerlo. Dal centro sono 15 minuti a piedi. L'hotel fornisce un servizio di tuk tuk gratuito molto comodo. Se piove o c'è alta marea effettivamente questa strada è poco agibile ma a noi non non ha creato nessun problema.

Excellent. Will recommend this property to my friends.
Pros:

Excellent in hospitality. Very helpful, friendly, and accommodating staff. The room was big, clean and cozy, and the breakfast was excellent. Our room has a stunning view of Cadlao Island and beautiful sunset. Though the resort is not from the town proper, they will offer you a free tuktok ride to and from the resort. Excellent value for money. I would highly recommend this place especially for families and couple.

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.
