    Great location on the quieter side of the beach away from all the boats and noise of the main town. The most amazing sunsets every night from the pool and resturant. The staff are so friendly and attentive too!

    There could be more sun loungers around the pool.

    Super friendly staff, very good à la carte breakfast. Room was clean and they made an effort with special breakfast, nice room decorations and even a bottle of wine for our anniversary. Nice 30 min walk to town, mostly along the beach where there are many bars and restaurants.

    Food sometimes was bad

    I can only recommend this small yet beautiful resort, that provides great view of the ocean and in the same time hospitality as you are staying in your own house. The staff were very responsive and every detail was up to the highest standarts. They organized on our request an exchange of vows, although they were not providing this service, and the venue and the dinner after were exactly as I pictured it, even more beautiful. The only negative comment I have is about the quality of the food, although we could see that the chef was going beyond to prepare the meals, the sauces were delicious and the presentation too. However, the ingredients were not of good quality, the meat for example, and I was missing more fruit, if I compare the resort with other there. So boss, do your part to match the price :) . However, overall I would stay again in this amazing hotel. Thank you for everything!

    Corong corong is not the nicest beach and it wasn’t really a place to sunbath at the beach. Maremegmeg beach was much better if this is what you want. It didn’t really bother us to much as we were island hopping and doing other activities most days. And maremegmeg area is not far to walk if you want to spend the day at a nicer beach. As for the hotel itself we have nothing bad to say.

    This hotel is in our opinion even nicer in real life than on the photos. The room was super clean, comfortable and with great atmosphere. You have the comfort, but still feel in one with nature due to the design of the room and the outdoor bathroom (which was supercool and very clean). The service is excellent and the staff was always so helpful. Room service was free of charge so you could a enjoy breakfast in your room or outside your own room at the terrace. The breakfast and food in general was also really good. The bar/restaurant area is nice.

    We ate dinner at the resort’s restaurant the service and atmosphere were great but the food was average.

    It’s a very intimate place which is exactly what we looked for (there are only a few cabins). You have all the facilities you need for a perfect stay and a private beach where u can enjoy El Nido’s beautiful sunset. I must mention the staff , they were sooo helpful with everything and extremely nice. If we come again,we definitely choose Buko again.

    Leaving

    I couldn't speak more highly of this place and its staff. The staff were simply incredible. Always friendly and went out of their way for us, probably daily, to ensure we had zero stress and felt incredibly special. Very promptly answered WhatsApp messaging service so we literally didn't have to lift a finger.... genius! The in room massages were out of this world good. Food fantastic. Pool spotless. Huts well set out and very comfortable Sunset views stunning. Seamless transfers organised in complete luxury for our drive to Puerto Princesa Not to mention the very special surprise we had waiting for us in our room to congratulate us on our honeymoon when we got there. Signed by all the staff Thank you to everyone at Buko Beach Resort for getting our honeymoon off to such a memorable and special start.... we WILL be back ❤️

    nothing

    they are very organize and hospitable, like they already forseen what you need, kudos to Rose-Ann, the friendly bartender at the bar, you made our day!, we stayed there for 2 nights, it was a relaxing time as we finished all our island activities, my Bf wants to stay in a nice room cause he checked the weather forecast and it will rain for the next days. I was looking for this resort for a week, hesitant cause still pricey but well it was worth it with the service and the place was really relaxing. We are both easily get bitten by mosquito, it’s just us so tht was our concern but they had the repellant everywhere, from the room and outside the property so it was good. The food was exceptionally great, my partner is a bit picky but in Buko beach he ate everything what’s on plate. I definitely recommend it if you want a relaxing moment.
