Parfait
Pros:

Je recommande les yeux fermés ! Un hôtel bien situé, un coucher de soleil à couper le souffle, un personnel au petit soin et à l’écoute de vos besoins, mais aussi de belle rencontre avec d’autres clients. On s’y sent comme à la maison !

Pros:

Ubytování odpovidalo popisu, krasny pohled do zatoky v době přílivu, snidaně ruznorodé, k dispozici po cely den pitna voda. Majitelka je ochotna, mila, zajistila nam vylet, odvoz, pujceni motorky. Vše proběhlo bez problemu. Internet silný.

Cons:

Je to drobnost, ale pro cestovale nezbytne. Zásuvky by potřebovaly opravit.

Great stay!
Pros:

Loved my stay- right on the beachfront and walkable to the Vanilla Beach / Las Cabanas (must do for sunset). The room wa comfortable with a good AC, coffee kettle and a modern bathroom. Bed was very comfortable! Loved the breakfast too- especially the pancakes and philippino waffle. The staff was so kind too and helped me arrange my transfer to Puerto Princesa. Overall a great stay.

Pros:

Decent place but for me I should have went to Lio beach right away.
Walk down the beach a bit and you will find some very nice restaurants. Bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Vintage small room but not really bad just not great for me. We paid a fair bit for this hotel and could have gotten much better for just a little more $$$.

Erg slecht.
Pros:

Niet zo veel, zijn na 3 uren naar een ander hotel gegaan.

Cons:

Eigenlijk alles! Het ziet er vervallen uit, er lagen haren op bed en op de handdoeken. Daarnaast was de badkamer vies.

Bellissima posizione a El Nido
Pros:

un albergo tenuto con grande amore, in una posizione bellissima proprio sulla spiaggia. Si vedono dei tramonti bellissimi e tutto lo staff è disponibile e super gentile!
Ottima colazione e disponibilità di due canoe con le quali poter esplorare in autonomia le spiagge e isole nelle vicinanze, senza dover prendere tour super affollati.
La sistemazione ideale a El Nido

If budget is your priority & you don’t mind being 3klm from centre then this is for you. Quiet tidy beachfront prope
Pros:

Beachfront Hotel. We were lucky enough to get the room facing the beach to wake up to sunrise from bed. Great outdoor area to sit & relax & listen to the waves lap on the shore

Cons:

Not much to report here

La infraestructura es antigua y está deteriorada, en la ducha no sale nada de agua y no realizan aseo a la
Habitación por ende hay que estar solicitando papel higiénico a diario.

Hôtel tout simple mais très agréable à vivre grâce à sa situation et surtout son personnel
Pros:

Une fois que l’on sait que la plage n’est pas baignable facilement L’hôtel est parfait . La situation permet de rayonner de El nido à la cabanas en scooter . Petits déjeuners variés et bons. Les couchers de soleil sont magnifiques et le personnel est aux petits soins .
Un grand merci à Gwen qui nous a aidé avant et pendant notre séjour afin que notre voyage soit tel que nous l’avions imaginé : réservation des tours en bateau, plongée, location des scooters … une grande aide et une gentillesse qui n’a pas de prix dans un voyage .
Les petits plus : l’hôtel buko à deux pas par la plage possède un restaurant excellent et raisonnable avec des couchers de soleil fabuleux . Pour une journée piscine l’hôtel lime propose un forfait piscine très intéressant et un lieu magnifique qui surplombe l’hôtel et la baie .

Cons:

Choisir les chambres à l’étage plus agréables que celles au rez de chaussée .
Salle de bain vieillissante .

Vista fantastica e buona posizione
Pros:

lo staff è presente e accomodante, colazione servita al piano stesso della tua stanza senza bisogno di scendere in reception. ottimi consigli per prenotare tour locali e staff gentile e disponibile !
la vista dal secondo piano era molto bella

Cons:

la posizione del lavello il bagno un pò scomoda (dietro la porta). le piastrelle del pavimento si muovevano in alcuni punti vicino al letto.
qualche piccola opera di manutenzione potrebbe servire.

Pros:

The staff were amazing and accommodating. Friendly people!

Ieder zijn ding niet ons ding.
Pros:

De 2 meiden waren erg leuk en gezellig van de housekeeping.

Cons:

Strand vies GEEN zonnebedjes NERGENS op het strand.
Kamer heel klein en benauwd hadden 3 nachten geboekt na 1 nacht weggegaan je heb er ook niet veel.
Voor backpackers ideaal die zitten lekker daar denk ik.
Maar als je een beetje van comfort hou zal ik deze overslaan of 1 nachtje.

Awesome experience at Desert Rose!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay @Desert Rose. Warm and friendly staff—very accommodating and always ready to help! We enjoyed a beautiful sunset view from the balcony, which made the stay even more special. We tried requesting some of our fave filipino dishes from the kitchen, and it turned out absolutely delicious! will definitely come back at next vacation opportunity :)
Thank you Desert Rose!
