    I wouldn't have liked having to lug my luggage up to the property but thankfully I didn't! 😂🧳 (And the views from the top were beyond breathtaking, so would have been worth it even if I had). Breakfast and coffee and hot chocolate was also delicious, many thanks.

    A charming spot!! The steps 🪜 to the property were pretty daunting but THANKFULLY I didn't have to carry a single heavy bag ... Thank you so much to the amazing staff who helped me get my things up & down. xxx

    Absolutely loved this place! The hosts were so attentive, welcoming and kind. The breakfast was incredible, so big and tasty. The views were just unbelievable, they must be some of the best views in the location [other hotels seemed to have little or no view compared to this]. Just fabulous, I really loved being here.

    The stairs to reach the property. But the view pays you back

    The view from the room and the breakfast area. The staff was amazing, extremely helpful, friendly and efficient. The staff always helped us with a smile all the time.

    This place is so memorable! the location is great and the view over El Nido town is incredible. All the staff were wonderful, very accomodating and helpful with anything we needed. Breakfast each morning was delicious (particularly recommend the pancakes). The hike up the stairs is made all worth it for the priceless view.

    The only thing that we didn’t like was that we rented a scooter from them that was in bad condition, the back tire wasn’t hard and we had to pump air on it, and even then, it had no grip on the road, which made the ride to Nacpan beach unsafe for us. We told Jason about this and believe he was taking care of it.

    Jason and the rest of the staff were very welcoming. The room and the property were great, with lovely views of the bay. The breakfast was excellent.

    This is not a negative thing about the property but just something travelers might want to know: the property is on a hillside (thus the beautiful view of the beach at the breakfast table) so there’s quite a lot of steep flight of stairs going there. Prepare for some leg and cardio workout. But the walk is worth it!

    I absolutely loved everything — the location, the property itself, my room, the staff, and the view from the breakfast place. It is close enough to the town square where everything is— just a 5min walk from the property—and far enough to have a quiet evening to relax for the night. And I love Catarina the cat, and the 3 dogs!

    Jayson was an exceptionally kind host. Reasons to stay at this place close to the center is the stunning balcony view and the delicious breakfast, especially the banana cake !

    Greeted with water on arrival and they carried our bags to the room. It’s a beautiful location and not far from the main town. Also very quiet at night. And they rented us a bike and work flexible on how long we could use it. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Not for everyone. The rooms are basic. Fan cooled. No air conditioner. Many (many) steps to the hotel. But the staff will help carry your luggage. Best for the young and young of heart and body.

    Stunning, world class view. Just like the photos only better. Staff are friendly and gracious. Delightful people. Breakfast included. For the price, it's good value.

    Few more hangers in the bathroom would be helpful and simple shelf to put some cosmetics on. Very thin walls, so you can hear every sound from the next room - earplugs is a good solution.

    We stayed there 4 nights and it was definitely a good idea. The place is located on the small hill and the view is amazing. Room was ok, not very spacious, but enough for 2 people. Nice private terrace area for each room. Bathroom was also ok, and the most important thing - there was no problem with water. Breakfast was amazing - especially banana pancakes. All staff was superb, they helped us with everything - booking island hoping trips, transfer to different location and all other things. Absolutely fantastic. Definitely it was a good choice to stay there.

    One, the smell of the sewer on the way to the property and two, the long steep steps to get there. However, jason made it better by helping us carry the luggage on both the way up and down.

    Location in the middle of the forest yet 2mins walk to the center and the staff super friendly especially jason who was super helpful and sweet. Yummy breakfast!

    There was a power cut (typical for Palawan!) on our arrival, but it didn’t affect us much, as the power was back on when we came back to the room in the evening.

    The view from this place (both our room and the dining/reception area) is stunning and worth to climb all the stairs! Staff were all very friendly, one of the best we met on our trip!, and helped to carry our bags up and down the stairs. Breakfast was basic, but really good, with free coffee, tea and water available all day long. We were also able to leave our luggage after check out for the whole day, while on a hopping tour. The place itself is minutes away and in walking distance from the busiest streets with all bars and restaurants, but it stays quiet, making it a perfect place to relax and have a good sleep. We really wish we could stay longer!

    Spacious and clean bungalow with a beautiful balcony with view over El Nido bay. Jason and his staff were very nice and welcoming and always willing to help for any issue.The breakfast was delicious with different dishes to choose from. Free water, tea and coffee all day round. We rented a very new scooter for a convenient rate and booked two tours we really enjoyed. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you guys.
