    Nothing!

    Just everything! This is the best place to stay when in El Nido! The location is perfect. It’s just a short scooter ride to El Nido Town or places like Vanilla Beach where you can rent kayaks to explore the beaches or islands. Or you can just enjoy your beautiful terrace or hang out at the awesome pool or bar. Everyone is so helpful and they try their very best to make your stay as comfy as possible. Manu was even attending the post office after we left to send my postcards for me as the post office was closed because of public holidays. They offered tours and just everything we needed. I’m just happy to have chosen this place for our stay in El Nido. Couldn’t have been better. SALAMAT to everyone who was involved to make our stay unforgettable. See you later!

    Focus rooms is close to the town but not so close you have all the loud noise. The rooms were cute and clean and surrounded by big tall plants which is lovely. The highlight of this stay is the manager, Manu. Him and his staff are the extremely helpful, kind and considerate. They really made sure that we were ok. Really great place to stay if you want to enjoy el nido for a few days.

    Focus Rooms offered a very comfortable, friendly and enjoyable stay. All staff were friendly and willing to help at any time of the day. They supported our tour, moped and dinner bookings; this was extremely helpful. Manu took us down to the beach to meet our tour guide as well.

    The property is a bit hidden so if you will need landmarks to find it. Therefore, it would be much easier if you arrange an airport pick up. I was lucky that guests were quiet. I can see noise as being a problem if guests are loud since your “front “ door is the hallway / balcony/ and eating area.

    The property is close to the “downtown” area. Walkable jn 10 mins. You also pass by souvenir stores on the way to the main area.

    There is construction underway at the front of the property but they don’t start early and take a lunch break.

    Quiet, centrally located and great staff. Pool is a great way to cool off.

    The shower leaked from somewhere, so the bathmat was always completely wet, which was a bit annoying. The rooms are also quite noisy. You can hear a lot of outside noise through the glass sliding door (when it's closed) and the bathroom window. But we enjoyed our stay!

    Nice room, comfortable bed, good aircon, helpful staff, and awesome breakfast delivered to our room where you have it on the balcony. The French toast was really good! There's also a nice little swimming pool and a place to park the hire scooters.

    Some things: was clean in general but didn’t sweep the floor, for 4 days it’s needed. Also, there is no kettle and cups, and so needed hair drier ! But if you ask these stuff they can provide it. Also, walls are really thin.

    The stuff was really nice. Location is great as for me. Served coffee for free in the morning, very beautiful design, there is a small pool as well. WiFi was really nice which was really important for me.

    Maybe add 2 towel rods to the bathroom and considered changing the floor of the showers.

    This is a great new hotel, with comfortable beds, very quiet air conditioner, spacious room, delicious breakfast, and incredibly helpful staff that help you avoid getting ripped off. They help organize tours and even stored leftovers in the fridge for us! Relatively quiet area, off the main street enough to not hear traffic. Could be walkable into town and other beaches but roads are busy enough that it's better to take a tuk tuk. Would definitely stay here again! We stayed mid-December 2023 and the pool is almost ready!

    You need your phone flashlight at night when entering the hotel. watch out for dog poop.

    Manu was accommodating to my needs especially with tour information. I was able to get a scooter on my first day, an island tour on my second day, and arranged for a pick up transfer from the airport.You can ask anything regarding your vacation. The location was very good, it's close to the center but away from the noise - it''s about 10 minute walk to where all the restaurants/bars are. The bathroom is quite unique, water pressure is very good, AC was quiet and no TV (i like that there is no TV, you would want to go out and see places than stay in your room). I really like that there are huge plants decor which added to the charm. I saw that they are constructing a small pool which is fantastic.

    Very basic room. The bathroom has a nice look but feels very damp, the shower can be hard to clean with all the small pebbles. The bathroom didn't have a proper window, only a mosquito net, so it was hard to keep the humidity out.

    Very friendly staff, Manu even made sure to bring us to the right boat for our island hopping tour. Comfy bed and very good AC unit. Breakfast options were good and portions were very generous.
