    Not their fault, but blackouts happen sometimes. Their backup generator kicks in almost immediately, which is great, but unfortunately no AC for the short while this is happening.

    The tranquil seaside location and views are amazing. Friendly staff (thank you Joel!) and convenient walking to everything you need.

    Our room was a little dated.

    Beach side Location, staff, facilities. Walk to the core area is 1km+ which may bother a few, but we enjoyed that walk twice a day. Its safe even at 11pm.

    There are power cuts for hours, which means no water as the shower is electric, no way to charge the devices and no wi-fi. That would be fine during the day but on our last day happened in the morning and was really inconvenient. They could inform the guests beforehand. It's a bit of a walk to El Nido proper town, that at night can be very dark.

    Beautiful colorful hotel. The area is really lovely with beautiful plants. Nice and big rooms, with a little balcony. Cold and hot water is available to drink. Nice and simple breakfast. The sunset from the property is stunning. Be aware of the giant ants! The beach there is shallow, but if you walk a lot eventually you can swim. There's a hanger for clothes outside, really handy, and good aircon in the bedrooms. Nice staff.

    Beautiful location to watch the sunset or have breakfast. Amazing sea view! Beautiful and colourful set up, nice staff, breakfast included, free water.

    Internet not much useable, like in many places on the Philippines.

    Nice, tidy, well equipped room with terrace, in front of the garden with a lot of shady trees, right at the beach, tranquil and only a short walk from the center of the town. Small shops, laundry, etc around. Must be one of the best options in El Nido in terms of price value!

    On our way back to the airport. we thought we were moving immediately so that we can still shop at the pasalubong center. the driver make us wait for an hour waiting for other people. we were not informed about that set up. we had to move very fast in order for us not to miss our flight.

    staffs are very attentive and approachable. rooms are clean. the owner of the property was very responsive and always takes action to all our concerns. tour guides are very professional and very engaging. Kuya Loy- our tour guide - was very funny that he made sure that our tour will not be boring.

    A step above a backpacker hostel and a long walk from El Nido.

    1. Distance to El Nido was difficult at times, especially given the lack of public transportation options. 2. The beach was poor, and this particular location had almost no swimmable areas.

    nice, quiet atmosphere when there wasn’t construction nearby. staff were pleasant and helpful.

    1. location. The property is about a mile from El Nido. The walk is ok, but tiring in the heat. Cars are not allowed on the path to the village, but tuk tuks are. However, obtaining a tuk tuk wasn’t easy. 2. Beach. The beach isn’t nice. Not only is the sand course and rough, the ocean is shallow and impossible to swim in. 3. Critters. We’re used to the occasional gecko at night, but there were other, loud, animal noises made throughout the night. Ants were a commonplace on the tables. Flies were annoying.

    nice breakfast, great staff.

    No negatives. I enjoyed my stay very much

    Very tranquil. I had a great night of sleep here! The fans were more than sufficient to keep the room cool enough. Close to beach and many restaurants. Unfortunately I could only stay one night here. The place is run by a very nice family who do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable. When I arrived back from my boat tour on my second day, they gave me the key to a spare room to have a shower which I thought was very nice (I had already checked out). My laundry was always waiting for me upon my return from the boat tour. My stay was perfect. Many thanks!

    The water pressure could be better, but this is probably not the problem of the hotel, but of the whole city.

    Amazing accommodation on the beach with a beautiful view. Everything was great, quiet, clean place, 10 minutes walk to the center. They helped us with the organization of the tours, and I especially want to highlight the absolutely perfect and kind staff. I will definitely be back!

    hadefe is perfect located resort with amazing view mainly in high tide (low tide could reveal beach untidy) just one fig tree in between you and a beach, you can even see helicopter island in background from brekfast area. room quite nice, big enough with 2 spacey double size beds, ac is a must the only issue is quite poor wifi connection and one day electricity blackout, but might not be hadefe resort fault... staff super friendly, helpful. small egg&toast breakfast included, hot and cold water in breakfast area always ready to use. you can walk thru el nido beach to town square but with lagguage you better take a tricycle if needed. overall, great place to stay and chill. price is super as well. highly revommend

    STUNNING views as this place is right on the beach. And a really great staff. The hotel is about a 10-15 minute (but very beautiful) walk into town, so it’s close enough to enjoy the amenities (but there are still some great restaurants within minutes of the hotel) but also far enough away to have an oasis of peace and quiet here.
