    Hidden budget accomodation in an area flooded with tourists hosted by a welcoming & helpful family!

    Nothing of note but our stay was too short.

    Nestled up against the cliffs and right alongside the shore, Aquings place offers an out of the way sanctuary from the tourist hustle of El Nido. The staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable with regard activities in El Nido and will assist arrangements for tours, even at short notice. One bonus was having a few motorcycles for rent from Aquings, extra convenient for those confident enough to adventure independently. Wish we could have stayed longer and got to know the hosting family better, they are our type of people :-)

    The building can be a but outdated.

    Very good option for two nights for the price. The building is excellent but it’s clean and well kept, my room was comfortable, big size with towel and sheet. Bed was comfortable and quite big. Staff was nice and accommodated my request. Little garden with table and chair is also nice to seat outside for some time, free tea, coffee and water provided along with a fridge to store your food and drinks. Overall, for the price I paid is a very nice option to spend one to three nights in El Nido.

    Short walk from the ferry port. Clean and basic room for a good price. Quiet at night. Free water and coffe and different breakfast choices for an extra pay. Easy to book tours and rent snorkling gear and aquashoes. Very friendly people - we would stay here again

    We weren’t a fan of the type of pillow not having a pillow case, but we were able to get round that fine ourselves.

    Great location, staff couldn’t have been nicer and a lovely community in the area. The room was on the basic side, but all you actually need. It was really good value.

    Staff very friendly and happy to help you with whatever you needed! Comfortable room and shower is not cold as other reviews have made out. It is lukewarm but that is nice when El Nido is so hot Easy walking distance to the main town

    Can't fault the place for the price, however just be aware there is no hot water, and it is a classic Asian wet room where the shower is over the toilet.

    The staff were absolutely amazing, super helpful and polite. We rented a scooter through them for a good price. They offer free water, coffee and tea.

    The port by where the hotel is smelly and dirty.

    Aquin’s place is tucked away by the port in El Nido and it was good value for money, but wasn’t our favorite place to stay. The rooms were small but comfortable. The port was at times pretty smelly. We thought we would like staying by the water but we opted to stay more inland the next few nights.

    Just be careful with the tours, sometimes the tour operator swaps around which one your doing, so just state the tour clearly when you get picked up in the morning.

    Location is perfect for the island hopping, its 1 minute walk away from the beach and port. I stayed for 6 nights and there was no brown outs and had good aircon the whole time. Free water/tea and coffee and also discounted tours. Bed was comfortable. I'm a solo traveller so the size of the bed and room was fine, okay it's a little small for 2 people but you're not staying in the room all the time in El Nido. For the price it's very good.

    The rooms are a little older, beds are not too big, AC is a little louder.

    Its a nice place near to everything. Very simpel, great staff!! The rooms are small and simple, the garden is great to sit. They have a generator for light and wifi when there is a power blackout, what happens in El Nido.

    If you're short, you might have trouble controlling the Aircon because it's high up. Shower is cold but pressure was ok.

    Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Free water and coffee and a pleasant communal area. Close to port and beach, and shops/restaurants. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with the hosts' relatives who were visiting.
