À recommander pour les petits budgets

Rien

Séjour agréable
Pros:

Le coucher de soleil. La gentillesse du personnel. Le petit déjeuner mais il manquerait une proposition de poulet. Nous sommes restés 5 nuits.
La location du scooter. Le bon petit restaurant local sur le bord de la route.

Cons:

Chambre un peu petite.
C est l hôtel le plus cher de notre séjour. Et on trouve que le rapport qualité prix n y est pas .
Pour contre carrer cela il y avait le beau couchè de soleil et la gentillesse du personnel.

Good for a short stay - beautiful view and adequate facilities to suit all basic needs.
Pros:

The view from the deck is an absolute highlight - completely gorgeous and walking distance from lots of shops, restaurants, anything you may need. The owner of the establishment was very pleasant and helpful. The room and breakfast are adequate - providing everything you may need. The bed was very very comfortable.

Cons:

The other staff member was unpleasant in her interactions with me as well as interactions I witnessed between her and other patrons.

Pros:

Posizione perfetta, è molto tranquillo in riva al mare, si vede il tramonto e ti sposti velocemente per andare a El-Nido e alle spiagge vicino. La colazione è molto buona, c è tanta scelta, è abbondano e la puoi cambiare ogni mattina e sopratutto la si puó gustare con una vista fantastica. Il personale è gentile e super disponibile, con loro abbiamo organizzato un tour in barca e noleggiato lo scooter!
Si hanno a disposizione anche gli asciugamani per la spiaggia e si possono lasciare li le valigie fino al bisogno. Davvero consigliato!

Très belle vue pour de beaux couchers de soleil.
Pros:

Très belle vue, et très bon petit déjeuner. Possible de louer des kayaks et des scooters via l’hôtel

Cons:

La chambre se situe DANS la réception, donc assez bruyant pendant les checkins. La baie vitrée de la chambre donne sur la terrasse commune.
La réceptionniste a tenté de draguer mon mari 🥸

Soggiorno di coppia
Pros:

La nostra host è stata fin da subito molto gentile. Grazie a lei siamo riusciti a prenotare un tour in barca e a noleggiare il motorino. Grazie a lei siamo riusciti anche a prenotare il transfer per l'aeroporto perciò il servizio è stato eccellente. La posizione era a 5 minuti di motorino dal centro di El Nido ma era favolosa per godersi al meglio il tramonto. La colazione era giusta. Molto apprezzata la sistemazione giornaliera della camera. Letto molto comodo.

Cons:

Un po' piccola la stanza, ma considerato che si sta fuori praticamente tutto il giorno non ci è pesato.

Séjour détente
Pros:

Nous avons pu louer des scooters directement à l'hôtel et choisir une excursion en bateau à la journée

Cons:

Impossible de se baigner. La mer est soit très retirée avec la marée soit collée à l'hôtel. Mais c'est pareil pour les autres hôtels de bord de mer

Beautiful views, quiet vibe and tasty breakfast. Easy, relaxed place to stay.
Pros:

Firstly, Gwen and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is nicely out the way of the hustle and bustle of El Nido but very easy to get in on a TukTuk (150peso). The views were beautiful, especially from our sea view room. The free breakfast was lovely and we tried a few different options, a perfect start to our day. The room was clean and had everything we needed and the WiFi worked well. We booked our Tour via the hotel and had the option to hire a scooter too. It’s a pleasant walk on the beach to some of the bars and restaurants before El Nido which we loved - a quieter vibe.

Cons:

Nothing to mention.
