The road leading to the property.

The accommodation provided really was good. Its the first time we have been Glamping so it was a different type of holiday but I would do it again.

I spent 5 full days and nights in my room and have no complaints.

TJ and the rest of the team were outstanding. I became very unwell while staying here and ended up staying 5 nights (we had only booked 3) and unable to leave my room. TJ gave us his WhatsApp and made sure we had everything we needed including water, breakfast in our room etc. he also took me to two different clinics in El Nido in his car when I decided I needed to see a doctor. I ended up being diagnosed with dengue fever and needed to be transferred to a bigger hospital in Puerto Princesa. He helped my husband by picking him up from the hospital, packed up all our things and get us into the ambulance when we left and waved us off. He also didn’t charge us for that day even though we left at 7pm. He went above and beyond for us and I am so grateful for his help while I was so unwell. The rooms are very comfortable with air con, Netflix etc and we liked the location outside of busy El Nido town but close to Lio beach. Being able to use the scooters for free was a god send as it allowed my husband to pop out and by me food etc. without worrying about hiring.

We didn't stay long enough!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at Domes and Dreams in El Nido, Philippines was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in warmth and hospitality. TJ, our exceptional host, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment throughout our entire stay. The glamping experience surpassed all expectations. The bed? Oh, the bed! It was like sleeping on a cloud – hands down the comfiest bed we've ever encountered. And the location, nestled in a serene rural area, provided the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. With the airport just 5 minutes away, Lio Beach a mere 5-minute drive, Nacpan Beach within 20 minutes, and the town center just a 10-minute ride, exploring was a breeze – especially with the included scooter, a fantastic addition to our package. But let's talk about breakfast – a culinary delight! Every morning, we were treated to a sumptuous spread that left us energized and ready to seize the day. And those fruit shakes? Simply divine! Domes and Dreams has undoubtedly become our favorite accommodation in the Philippines, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. Thank you, TJ, for your exceptional hospitality – you truly made our stay unforgettable!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a free scooter 🛵 to use during our stay. The dome was private and had a bathtub outside. We had a very relaxing stay!

Very tranquil and the Glamping was unique and luxurious

EVERYTHING. we’ve been away 3 months and we’ve not stayed in a nicer place comparably. It’s glamping so it’s not a hotel but the dome is large and sooooo homely and comfortable. It was a place to look forward to returning to after a busy day. The staff and owners were fantastic and the place is generally top notch. Lio beach is local and El Nido is a 15 min ride away on the included motorbike. It might be more than you want to spend ideally , but trust me, it’s worth it for the memories and feeling of comfort.

Nothing - everything was wonderful

Where to start with Domes & Dreams.. Amazing from start to finish. we were travelling as a couple from south to north in Palawan. I was feeling pretty miserable and deflated because of the stray/neglected, dog situation/culture of the Philippines - this is in no way reflection of Domes & dreams - please read on! If you're an animal lover you will struggle in the Philippines with the amount of stray, starving injured, neglected dogs on every street. I have been to Southeast Asia before so I am aware that culture is different, but the situation in the Philippines seems to be a more dire. We were picked up by Raffy in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. He was extremely friendly and chatty. Upon arrival TJ gave us a welcome cocktail and chilled fresh hand towels. The location is perfect, it is out of El Nido town (which is a blessing). It is a quiet, clean, tranquil little oasis. The included motorbikes are fantastic, and save the hassle of having to rent scooters. The domes are gorgeous - it was the most luxurious accommodation we had in the Philippines. The bed is extremely comfortable; the domes are very clean and well equipped with everything you need. They replenish your water daily, you have tea and coffee, making facilities, fan, air-conditioning, TV mirror, hairdryer wardrobe, outdoor bathroom with a great shower, charging ports next to the bed - they've thought of everything. The breakfast was delightful, I had the best mango I've ever eaten in my life. It is freshly made, they will make you a fresh juice. Delicious. And the staff are incredible - nothing is too much for them. One evening, TJ hosted popcorn and drinks night by the fire pit for the guests, which was great. The drinks are great quality and price. If you care about Internet, then the WiFi was fantastic, they use Starlink - zero issues. Sharmaine was helpful in arranging a boat tour and she continues to be helpful...

We loved our stay in Domes! The room was so clean, modern, with aircondition and an amazing bathroom and outdoors shower and bathtab. Next to Lio beach with amazing restaurants and beautiful beach. You feel like home and the stuff is all amazing and so warm and polite. we were picked up by the airport and were offered amazing service and help with anything we asked for. Sharmaine, Raffy and TJ are all great and v friendly people. We felt so safe being in their place. Looking forward to visiting back!

We can entirely recommend staying here. This was our best accommodation in the Philippines and the perfect start for our vacation: 1. The location is excellent. Very close to Lio Beach which is stunning during sunset and has great restaurants and holiday vibes. Duli Beach for surfing is also only 30 min by scooter. 2. The tents i.e. doms have a very cozy and chique interior design, quiet and well working AC and have super comfortable beds. We were three adults and got an extra single bed and fitted without any problems. 10/10. It has an outdoor shower where you can shower below the stars. The Wifi is also very good. 3. The hosts are making an effort to make the stay as comfortable as possible for the guests. You can book tours through them and receive tips what to do in the area etc. 4 You get a brand new scooter during your stay, pick-up and drop-off service, as well as yoga mats and a good breakfast. All in all, perfect stay. Thanks again to Sharmaine and Raffy.

If i had to pick something, it would be the fact there wasn’t a pool, but you are about a 5-minute ride from Lio Beach so all in all, this did not detract from our stay. There is a nice enough pool club at Lio Beach (Mambo) where you can hang by a pool, which is what we did during our stay.

The property had comparatively fresher interiors than most other accommodation in the area. The ‘tent’ was in impeccable condition & everything was fresh and new. Despite not having a pool, the tent more than made up for it as it did not disappoint in any way. Neither did the outside bathroom with its generous-sized shower and modern fixtures & fittings.

Amazing property! Brand new, spotless clean, a really really comfy mattress and the exterior area was soooo beautiful. The dome is awesome, spacious enough to have the basics that you need and don’t let me start on the bathroom. Taking a shower after a long stay under the stars is indescribable! The location is away from the hustle which is perfect, but just enough so you don’t feel away. Sharmaine, the owner, was so helpful and accommodating with everything we needed even days before we arrive. She is so kind and fun to talk to, I am glad we met her. Thank you for everything!

There was a noisy geko on the roof of our bathroom that bothered us one night, but TJ used some spray which made it go away so it wasn't an issue.

We loved the concept of being so comfortable and having all the conveniences while at the same time being out in nature. The highlight of my day was taking a magical shower under the stars. Everything worked perfectly, we were never bothered by any sounds from the other tents. They cleaned out our tent and provided fresh drinking water every day. They even surprised us with the sweetest flowers since we were there over Valentines Day. Breakfast was delicious and we also had dinner one day which was cooking amazingly by TJ. Sharmaine and Raffy were such attentive hosts, eager to assist in any way possible. They organized the boat tours, drove us around, and gave so much invaluable advice for what to do in the area for kids (I travelled there with my 7 year old), and even helped me to find new flights when the airlines messed up our flights. I was hesitant to book initially as the property was just newly opened and didn't have many reviews yet, but it was really the best decision ever. Our expectations were more than exceeded and that's saying a lot since I'm a pretty light sleeper and need everything to be very organized as a parent. Last point is that I can really recommend the location itself - yes, it's a few minutes outside of El Nido town, but I was so happy to be able to leave the noisy town in the evenings and go back to our little quiet paradise to enjoy the nature and wind down after the long days. I don't drive a motorbike but we could easily manage to get around using the tricycles which are very affordable.

Everything was perfect

So glad we got the chance to stay here shortly after their opening. Really exceeded our expectations. There is a lot of attention to detail here. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The tent is huge, with really comfortable beds and air conditioning. We loved the outdoor private bathroom and the sound box in our tent. They thought about the little details - like free yoga mats (the space around the tents is gorgeous so you can stretch/workout outside), high quality robes and LED bathroom mirror. The breakfast is also sooo good, the chef makes the best omelette and smoothies we’ve ever had. They also organised all our transport and tours at a good price. We hope to return to El Nido soon and will definitely stay here again. It’s located in Lio and very accessible by scooter or tricycle - you also get free scooters.

We spent two delightful nights at this glamping site during our February 2024 trip through the Philippines. The facilities were exceptionally nice and comfortable, with beautifully designed wooden structures giving the place a charming boho style. We were particularly impressed by the warm and highly professional welcome from the staff, who provided service levels usually reserved for the most high-end luxury hotels. Despite being a few kilometers outside El Nido, the glamping site was easily accessible with the provided scooter (free of charge), which made exploring the area convenient. One of our favorite spots was Lio Beach, just a short distance from the site, boasting a large, picturesque beach lined with stylish restaurants, bars, and beachwear shops. Our dome accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The open bathroom, located just outside the dome, added a touch of camping ambiance with complete privacy and a hint of Balinese luxury. Breakfast options included eggs, fresh tropical fruits, pancakes, or toast, all tastefully prepared. We especially appreciated the staff taking the time to engage in pleasant personal conversations during our stay. In summary, it was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to staying with them again in the future.

The accommodation is in a great and convenient location just a few minutes away by scooter to Lio Beach. The domes were beautiful, even better than the photos, and equipped with everything you could need. The owners, Raffy and Sharmaine were so kind and helpful throughout our stay with pick ups/drop offs and helping us book boat tours. We also had dinner at the restaurant one night and it was delicious!

Only that we couldn’t stay longer!

By far the best place we have stayed in Palawan. From first communication until final drop off, Raffi and Sharmaine were fantastic hosts and very attentive. The whole staffing team at Domes and Dreams were hospitable, friendly and polite. The glamping domes are modern and a great place to relax - private outdoor seating area, hammock and bath. The shower was great and much appreciated after experiencing other accommodation in Palawan. Breakfast was plentiful and prompt. There is also the option to have dinner there, however we didn’t do this. We had complimentary use of a moped and helmets for the duration of our stay. The moped was is great condition and is perfect for getting to more secluded spots like Nacpan beach. I rarely write reviews but there are very few places I have stayed which are as welcoming, attentive and friendly as the Domes and Dream team. Salamat from Rob and Paige!

There wasn't anything I didn't like. The staff were super sweet and the owner himself (Raffy) took the time to get to know you and also gave you rides/booked tickets/ and checked up on you whenever you were out and about.

Loved that it was away from the hustle and bustle of the town of El Nido (you get your own quiet space after a long day exploring in El Nido) and that it was only a few minutes from Lio Beach which had the best sunsets! The rooms were also super cozy with a more than adequate bathroom/shower.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The grounds and the rooms are very clean and really well equipped. A campfire is lit in the evening and you can chat with the owners about the country and its people. In general, the two hosts are incredibly helpful, but not intrusive. They gave us lots of good tips and were always committed to making our stay as pleasant as possible. The proximity to the airport put us off a little at first. But it was super quiet, as the planes land from the sea and you don't hear any noise at all. It's also great that you can hire scooters free of charge, which were in great condition. We would stay there again at any time.
