Un esperienza positiva, staff gentile, ci siamo trovati bene nel complesso.
Pros:

La struttura è in una posizione comoda.
Facilmente raggiungibile
Sono stati gentili a fornirci un van privato dall’aeroporto all’hotel.

Cons:

Troppo caro per che cosa offre il soggiorno.
Pulizia delle camere buona, ma non eccellente.

Not as bad as everyone says
Pros:

The room was big and spacious with nice furnishings, the bed was big and comfy. The location was not on the main strip but within walking distance to the shops. The staff were very lovely and happy to help.

Cons:

This place gets a bad wrap, but it’s really not that bad. There is the issue of low water pressure and noise from outside but it’s a simple building and not a fancy hotel. I would consider this a hotel rather than anything boutique.

Let down
Pros:

No hot water and the other shower didn’t work. Taps on the wash basin had water that came out like a leaking tap. Room wasn’t cleaned after a whole week.
Doesn’t look like the photos. Pool doesn’t look safe. No safety deposit box. Only a two star but way over priced.

Pros:

The room was clean upon arrival and they were accommodating for a late check in, air conditioning unit was great as it had a silent function which helped during the night.
Negatives were the smell coming from the “pool” into our room was very nauseating. The water pressure was very poor for showing.
Would still stay here again if I had access to a room higher up in the building away from the pool.

Passable
Pros:

Big and comfortable bed.
You can walk to the city center in 10 minutes.
Shops nearby

Cons:

Rooms are not really soundproof. Noise from the streets is quite loud.
Pool quite small and located between two rooms and is not optimal for a swim.

Not worth it very noisy but close to everything
Pros:

The bed was good

Cons:

The picture doesn’t represent what you get
Swimming pool was dirty when we arrived and it’s very small, pictures look like it’s bigger
Bathroom was not clean there where droplets around the toilet
Depending on what they charge it’s not worth it

The hotel management and staff made a difference.
Pros:

When I was there, I got a badly inflected leg due to nic nic bites down at the beach some 10-15 minutes away. The hotel manager arranged for a 24 hour doctor to see me. They also provided a tricycle to take me to the doctor and to waited until after the consultation to bring me home. Also arranged for me to stay another night so that I could have a follow up consultation. If you are travelling solo, it is good to know that the hotel management genuinely does care about your well-being.

Cons:

Wi Fi not in the room but provided downstairs in the reception area.

Very poor
Pros:

Good location, friendly staff who always reminded us to not keep any valuables in the room for some reason

Cons:

1. Not super clean, was some stain on the bathroom wall and smaller spider net in the corners of the showers

2. The power outlets could not be used as it was completely used and ur adapter just jumped out cause the socket was so loose, the staff fixed it the next day but only one socket not the others

3. The shower did not have any power as far as the water beam, we told them to fix it and they did about 10-15% increase but still it was totally useless


4. The value was the worst part. I paid 14000 pesos for 3 nights. In boracay i get the best hotel of fairwaters 5 star for the same price, this hotel uses people who are desperate of accommodation and it shows. Very sad they need to really fix the place for it to be called botique

Don't waste your money there's better options for the same price
Pros:

The staff were nice but they weren't around very much
It's close to town

Cons:

The shower was terrible, poor pressure and also no warm water just cold.
The room with shower had two showers one inside and one outside with an open roof, this was not appealing because the bugs and noise came in.
People were standing outside the open shower so it wasn't private.
There were no facilities here
No hairdryer or anything
Worst of all it's on a very very noisy road and there's lots of construction going off all around which starts really early.
There isn't even a sheet on the bed just some crotchet item that's useless
We moved to a different area after two nights here which was ok the beach and quiet and comfortable for the same money so really not good value at all
I would never stay here again

Pleasant
Pros:

Decor was nice
Friendly staff
Only a 5 minute walk into town
Air conditioning was quiet
Had a water fountain to refill your bottles

Cons:

No hot shower. Low water pressure
No fridge in room
On a busy main road but not sound proofed. Found it very difficult to sleep on a night because of this also a lot of construction work happening around at the minute which was very loud but this isn’t the hotels fault

Generally you can stay here, if you plan to be out constantly.
Pros:

The hotel room was okay and wifi was working very good. It was also in okay distance to walk to the center of El Nido and to bus terminal. The room had a balcony and they had a refill water station available for guests.

Cons:

- The room wasn’t the cleanest and you could see on sheets and towels that there were some spots. They also didn’t clean the room in our 4 day stay once, so it was a mess as we come back from boat trip pretty sandy.
- As popular in the whole country, the water is heated by sun, so we didn’t really have much hot water and showered more in semi-cold one.
- The hotel is next to a very busy street and we could hear the street constantly, as the room is not isolated. Additionally, someone was constantly singing, which was a bit annoying.

Comfy place, but not to sleep much.
Pros:

Lovely little place, quite new facilities and lovely staff that made the visit. It is a bit smaller than i thought, though.

Cons:

It is unfortunate how noisy it was. The room door led straight to one of the main streets in el nido making sleep a big challenge, so much that i preferred to change to other place instead.
