    The property is beautiful - lovely common area downstairs with yummy breakfast options. The room is large, clean and very comfortable. The shower pressure was good and the air conditioner worked perfectly. And the people who work there are super helpful and friendly. We very much appreciated the free pick up and drop off tricycle service.

    We enjoyed everything.

    Away from everything, we really appreciated the calm and beauty of the place. The rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is homemade and was excellent. El Nido town is easily accessible on foot. We had a blackout one evening but the hotel had its own electric generator which allowed us to have electricity during the night.

    The family running the place are extremely attentive. Breakfast was the best in Philippines. Location was Perfect for us since ir was in a more quiet area. They also helped us renting a scooter and other services on the spot, facilitating our stay there pretty much.

    Water pressure in the shower, but we suppose that this problem is almost everywhere on the island.

    Good location (10 min walk from the town centre), they also offer complimentary tricycle shuttle (8am-8pm). The breakfast was very tasty and staff was very friendly and helpful!

    I loved to stay at Bella Athena Garden. The best breakfast. Very stylish place. Drinking water and coffee all day free. Good room size, clean, working ac, hot water in bathroom. Location is good walking distance to El nido center but if you dont like walking you can rent a motorbike in this hotel for good price. But especially I liked the administrator of this hotel. She was very polite, educated and perfectly controling situation in the hotel. The best reviews about her.

    The staff was very friendly and hospitable. Special thanks to Hilda who went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during my stay (she gave me great recommendations in terms of activities, restaurants beach clubs). The restaurant at the Cadlao resort serves really good food and I appreciated the complimentary shuttle available for guests to take you to the city center.

    The wifi was spotty at times and the tap water was not drinkable, but there are El Nido's issues, not the hotel's issues.

    The breakfast was great each morning, with some nice options to choose from. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They really made the stay for us. We enjoyed the location because it was far enough removed from the main part of town to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk to what we wanted to do.

    - a/c that you can’t adjust - no storage for your stuff - wifi mostly not working - low shower pressure

    - great location, very calm area, far enough from the noisy city center and only 10 min walk from the main street - water, tea and coffee available for free 24/7 - delicious breakfast

    I like to go out and stay late so coming home late is a hassle; the property is located where transportation is impossible after 7 pm until 3 or 4 am (depends on the high tide times) . So either you walk through the high tide which isn’t bad but if you’re walking by yourself it gets really dark

    I like the location it’s in a quiet location of the town; 10 mins walk to the town proper; I love the setting of the property lots of trees; staff and owner were super accommodating ( shout out to Pabs and Joshua)! They gave me breakfast for two since I am traveling solo and I booked for two; free ride from the property to main town until 10 pm ( or depends on high tide times)

    the hotel is in the middle of the “jungle” so there are a lot of insects. make sure you bring your repellent if you don’t want to be biten up by mosquitos shower pressure is very bad

    the location. close to el nido but in a peaceful area. they offered free rides to town. The staff is very kind, Pablo is the sweetest.

    Beautiful accomodation, little bit far from main town, but you can use free shuttle, which is great! It is calm place - it is reason we stayed here. Staff was also nice great and helpful, we also appreciate free coffee and tea in common area. Breakfast was also nice and convenient. We would stay again here.

    Upon breakfast we were served with our breakfast. I would love if there was a person helping with the beverages as well ( coffee, tea) or giving us directions.

    Beautiful room very nice decorated. All staff were friendly and helpful (especially Pavs). This place was so calm and close to the main town.
