Felt local, special but with all the amenities.
Pros:

The owners Alex and Ronell are such amazing host’s. We had a great time. Food was lovely. It felt local, private and special. Super close to an amazing beach. Big room and bathroom. Great bar area for drinks and a game of pool.

Pros:

Billy is very kind and helpful, and he drove us where we needed to go for a reasonable price
• Air conditioning works well
• Generally quiet location (occasional dogs at night and roosters in the morning)
• Clean bed sheets and towels

Cons:

Property and surroundings are poorly maintained, with trash around the area
• Swimming pool is not usable (green and not maintained)
• Very low water pressure and hot water is often unavailable
• Porch is sticky and uncomfortable to walk on barefoot
• Wi-Fi did not work for one full day during our stay
• Toilet paper is not replaced with new rolls, only partially used ones from previous guests
• Not worth the price – would not recommend unless maintenance improves

Cons:

Achtung Täuschung:
Die Fotos sind vom letzten Jahr!
Momentan ist das Hotel völlig verwahrlost und dreckig. Selbst nach einer geforderten, erneuten Reinigung unseres Bungalows lag immer noch tote Kakerlaken unter dem Bett. Das Bad ist feucht und riecht. Es gibt kein warmes Wasser.
Nach 5 Stunden Stromausfall erhielten wir auf Nachfrage die Antwort: „Das Stromaggregat braucht eine Pause“.
(In den kleinen Strandbuden direkt am Strand gibt es Strom).
Das Poolwasser ist trüb, der Poolboden schmierig. Das vorhandene Reinigungsgerät liegt rum und wird nicht benutzt.
Im Garten liegen Plastikmüll und geöffnete Farbdosen. Die Wege sind verschlammt und teilweise gefährlich zu gehen.
Das Personal ist morgens um 8:30 am nicht anzutreffen.
Frische Milch für einen Tee gibt es keine.
Als Entschuldigung wird oft der Taifun genannt - aber hier kommt das Management seinen Pflichten nicht nach!
Der Preis pro Nacht für die Unterkunft steht in keinerlei Verhältnis zum tatsächlich Gebotenen und ist Abzocke, das Inserat bei booking.com irreführend.

Not really as expected
Pros:

Room is quite good a bit stinky because of humidity but ok we were expecting this. Staff is kind.

Cons:

Not really fair. Once we arrived there, they told us the restaurant was closed and there were nothing in the near where to eat.
They told us that they could arrange the El nido tour for us but basically they could just suggest us a tour service in El nido and we had to go to El nido by ourselves (50 mins. Go and 50 mins. Back). We had to change our location to find something closer to el nido. We knew the location was far from el nido but, since they told us they arrange tour from their location, we decided to stay there and discovered things were different just when we arrived there. They should have told us in advance.
Also the room wasn’t clean.

Beautiful Duli Beach
Pros:

Large room with good storage space. Bathroom has a full length window so we hoped it was not visable from area outside. Beautiful Duli beach just a couple of minutes walk.
Nothing really open in the evening apart from accommodation bar. Need a motorbike for longer stays
