Eher unzufrieden
Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr nett, vor allem an der Rezeption.
Grossteils sehr junges Personal. Gratis Abholung vom Airport. Die sehr nahe Lage zum Strand.
Zimmer war sehr laut (neben Rezeption),wurde auf Anfrage geändert.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war nicht gut. Am Gang knallen die Türen, beim nicht rechtzeitigen versperren, geht der Alarm los. Personal ist mit ihren walki talki sehr laut und störend, vor allem frühs.
Andere Gäste quatschen laut am Gang, sodass nicht nur wir um Ruhe gebeten haben um 6:30 Uhr. Betten etwas hart.
Preisleistung stimmt nicht, mit der Leistung.

An excellent experience. We’d certainly come back!
Pros:

The property was conveniently located, literally five minutes from the airport. There was no aircraft noise. The beach is literally on the doorstep. Everything you want or need is on the resort. No need to hit the town - unless you’re after something noisier.

And the staff are the real gem of this place. Extremely friendly and accommodating - and nothing was a problem.

Cons:

No negatives to report. Except for the dodgy ATM machine that took my debit card, shut down and never returned it. But that wasn’t under the hotel’s control.

Pros:

i like almost everything including the staff.

Cons:

based on my own experience

1. i waited for 30mins before i can finally check in to mu room. my check in time is 2pm but they endorsed the keycard to me past 30mins already.

2. there is no toilet paper available inside the comfort room.

3. the door keeps on alarming upon closing the door. you ned ro slam the door so it wont alarm.

Modern hotel and great location
Pros:

Modern and clean with perfect location. Plus the free afternoon ice-cream was great.

Cons:

Not a big one - didn’t change our towels regularly. Had to ask every day and we didn’t get face towels but other rooms did.

Séjour exceptionnel à Island Amara, un lieu magnifique, paisible et chaleureux où tout est réuni pour passer un moment i
Pros:

Excellente expérience chez Island Amara !
C’est l’endroit idéal où séjourner à El Nido. Ne vous laissez surtout pas décourager par la proximité de l’aéroport : les avions ne gênent absolument pas, et au contraire, les voir décoller et atterrir depuis la plage apporte une distraction originale et agréable, sans nuisance sonore notable.

Cet hôtel est une véritable bulle de tranquillité, loin de l’agitation de la ville. Le cadre est magnifique : piscine immense, plage extraordinaire, ambiance chaleureuse, et une cuisine délicieuse, avec des plats très bien présentés et savoureux.

Mention spéciale à Claire et Hanz pour leur accueil exceptionnel : souriants, attentionnés et très professionnels. Leur gentillesse a réellement contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus mémorable.

Un vrai plus : la proximité de l’aéroport nous a permis de profiter plus longtemps de la plage tout en étant sereins pour notre vol. Le centre d’El Nido est à environ 15 minutes, avec des tricycles (tuk-tuk) disponibles régulièrement pour environ 300 pesos.

Je recommande vivement Island Amara et j’y retournerai avec grand plaisir !

Cons:

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec vue sur la piscine, mais des travaux de rénovation du parquet étaient en cours, ce qui a malheureusement bloqué la vue. C’est un peu dommage, d’autant plus que les travaux semblaient avancer assez lentement.

Lio beach
Pros:

La ubicación a un paso de Lio Beach, para mí una de las mejores playas de El Nido. El hotel es bonito y tiene encanto

Cons:

Para el precio que tiene esperas que los detalles estén más cuidados. Se nota el desgaste y la falta de mantenimiento en algunas zonas y partes de las instalaciones y las habitaciones. Está alejado de El Nido town, lo que supone un gasto extra para desplazarte. Los restaurantes que hay cerca, son buenos pero el precio es bastante alto para ser Filipinas

Staff are very kind and respectful
Pros:

The property is in general clean.

Cons:

We had bed bugs in our room. And we didn’t find out about it until the day we check out. Now I’m concerned if some got to our clothings and may have brought them home
