    Nothing really. They are not in town, which was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle, but that could be something that people might dislike

    Welcome drink, very friendly and amazing service. Love the staff. I booked a tour and rented a motorbike, prices were on par with other travel agency and things were very smooth. I message the front desk from wherever I am, and they book things for us. Breakfast was amazing too!

    There is nothing near the accommodation, you need a scooter to reach the nearby beaches and town. Everything nearby within 5-10 minutes

    A very pleasant hotel with a swimming pool, but what impressed us the most was the friendly and helpful staff, who even assisted us with trips to other islands. The room was convenient, clean, and spacious. Be sure to try the spring rolls in the restaurant.

    Bill more understandable…in the end not sure what this almost 30% more to the food bill was. Can’t change the location so make transportation cheap and accessible to go vanilla beach etc. not the opposite if you want clients. Transportation is overpriced there on purpose so you feel trapped and have no options. If they want longer stay…the room is not cheap and again in the middle of nowhere. Make it easy for people to enjoy themselves outside the hotel compound that is very limited in activities .

    Staff, was nice even though at the end the food bill was majored by .27 percent not sure why???? Location is a bit in the middle of nowhere. Transportation complicated, food outside hotel almost impossible. So good for one nigh.

    The hotel is slightly far out from the main town of el nido so does take a while to travel to places like Napcan Beach etc The WiFi only really works in the restaurant area and not in the rooms The AC in the room is very old and super loud, could definitely do with being replaced

    The staff were exceptional, super friendly and incredibly helpful The food is fantastic, we ate at the hotel several times as we found the food even better than most of the local restaurants The pool is amazing, great for an afternoon swim once the shade has come over

    Nothing.

    Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great and for the whole week we were there any time we wanted to use the pool, we were the only people there. The location is 10-15 mins from the main town which was great for us. Perfect stay!

    Wi-Fi and Television Connection could be better with some better Routing. And San Miguel Apple Beer would be nice. And Dirt management around the rooms improved.

    Breakfast was excellent. Meals were generous.in size Staff were magnificent. And very helpful. Wi-Fi was poor and the Television was not connecting to the outside channels, AIR conditioning. Did struggle needs ceiling or wall fans. Some type of Mats or Ceiling of the outside walkways would help with dirt getting into the Rooms.

    Some aspects of expense did not match the price you pay for the property. For example, having to pay extra for an additional cup of coffee or a yoghurt pot at breakfast (the breakfast granola came with a huge amount of granola and tiny pot of yoghurt). When the nightly stay is quite high end, these additional small requests should not come at an additional cost in my opinion.

    Lovely setting, caring and hospitable staff.

    The widow was unfortunately very low in the rooms and it’s a bit far from the town but if you rent a scooter that should be alright

    That the place is a bit further out if the city might be a disadvantage for some, but for us it was a big plus. You can rent a scooter at the place and easily drive up to the most beautiful beaches. Driving around is actually a lot of fun!

    Scooter is the best way to get around, they help you with rental there.

    Amazing people, quiet and serene place. Very peaceful. It feels homey, I think it is a great fit for longer term stays. Amazing food too. Best breakfasts I had on the island were there.

    The shower is a bit poor and the A/C is loud.

    The resort is out of the busy center of El Nido but still within good reach by scooter. The pool and breakfast area is perfect to relax after a long trip. The staff went out and beyond and they are the sweetest people. I even got a birthday cheesecake for my birthday! The food is also very good! Try the fish and chips or paella 😉

    Even if the resort was amazing, the price is to high. For this price we expect a better shower (no pressure), wifi in the room and maybe a free shuttle to the city. Something that could also be added is a good coffee machine :)

    The property is very peaceful and well maintained. They have a nice pool and a delicious restaurant! The breakfast is amazing, you can choose between many options every morning. We would like to thank Maica for the warm welcome, she made our stay unforgettable! She was always available and her service is worth 5 stars!! ⭐️

    The shower could improve more, there was definitely too little water coming out of the shower head.

    We loved the solitude of the place to end our El Nido trip. Rain was forecasted during the last day of our stay in El Nido so we decided to book a resort where we can just relax and enjoy it’s amenities. We were allowed an early check-in which was great. We had the pool to ourselves, pool looked clean aside from a few leaves. Our room was very comfortably styled. Myka and her team were very accomodating to our requests. Dinner and breakfast was delicious. Myka also helped organise our transport to Puerto Princesa the next day.

    The only things were that there were quite a few ants in the bathroom & the shower could be more powerful. Also the property is a good 20 minute tricycle ride from the centre (about 10 minutes on a motorbike) but is close to Marmegmeg beach/Vanilla Beach.

    We loved the fact it was such a relaxing place to be. The pool is great, we ended up swimming in it every day. The rooms are really spacious and the aircon is exactly what we needed in 30° heat! The staff were so helpful and lovely, especially Marie who helped us organise tricycles and our diving/boat trips. We didn’t have change for our tricycle once and one of the staff members got on his motorbike to go and change our money for us- so kind! Thank you, we wish we could stay longer!
