Everything is a little outdated and needs maintenance. Except for 2 cups and 1 plate the kitchen is not equipped, although you can make hot water.

The Villa is right on the beach and has a beautiful view on the bay. The garden is a nice place to chill and the room has everything you need. Walking to town is no big deal, you also can get a trycicle.

The approach road is not very good, it is difficult to reach with your luggage.

Location

The road, that bring you from the apartment to the center of El Nido, does not allow the passage of cars. But it was no longer than 10/15 minutes by foot. Anyways, if you have luggages, you can always ask for a tricycle, a typical taxi in Philippines.

The apartment was clean, the building is very typical (made of wood and bamboo) and cozy. The Host was very kind, pretty good english speaker. She gave us information about how reaching the city center and help us with some service, like laundry.

The place is old fashioned. It needs some improvments.

Nice, quite location in El Nido

We suggest the young lady personnel to be more approachable and willingly accommodating every guest at the Villa. Should be more hands on. Especially changing linens and make a schedule of cleaning rooms just like we stay there for 3 weeks. We asked for new bed comfort but we only received thin sheets. Hopefully the water at times has a faint smell like sewage should be look at, not advised for personal used (drinking, or used in cooking). But in general, we love the Villa and still recommended. Thank you La Salangane.

We stayed for 21 days. We like the Beach front Villa and we will miss the dog (Coby) greeting us every morning and evening.

Getting there sucks. it was really hard to get there without proper instruction. Plus we had to get in elnido first for nothing.

The place is super nice when you get there

The hotel’s accessibility is really bad. First to get to Calaan Beach you have to literally cross another beach and have to walk through water when there is high tide. Second the hotel itself is only accessible via Calaan Beach (which is hard to access during high tide). The main sleeping room was really big and clean. The fridge was really old and even had rust stains. The bathroom had spider nets and seemed run down. The shower was not working (only bucket showers). There was hot water though. The lady who was working at the front desk could not articulate herself in English (which made organising bikes etc really hard).

The big room (which was clean).

It would have been helpful to have a quick-start breakfast like coffee and toast. We couldn't exactly run to the Golden Monkey for breakfast in our pajamas.

Loved the beachfront view and the 2 sweet/shy Island puppies. They went down to the bottom stairs by the rocks to say goodbye. They made me miss our own 2 puppies. Marian was friendly and attentive. Our trike driver (was it Eric? Not sure) was always on time and very polite.

We were extremely disappointed in our stay. First it is quite far and a lot of tuk-tuks won’t want to bring you there, and we understood why. Since these hotels are quite new and located further from the center, the road getting there is not great — it’s close to the water and when the tide is high there is not way to even take it. Second, the property is not indicated at all from the street, so you can walk by and not see it. There is no entrance from the street, so if you can’t get there via the beach to have to pass through another property, get down on the beach and climb to the property. All this with very limited lighting at night. Third, even though it is an ‘apartment’, there is no basic ingredients such as oil and salt, the pans are all chipped, and no dish soap. And little options to buy ingredients to cook around, only the usual from their bodegas. Lastly, there are A LOT of dogs at night on the road getting there, with a sign that basically says ‘we are not responsible if they bite you’. We’ve had no issues with any dog in our month long trip, but these dogs were more agitated and even barked at me quite intensely when my flipflop made a squishing noise… I removed them. Since there is no light, you might not even see them when walking. I do not recommend this place at all. Golden Monkey beside looked much better and it was cheaper too!

We liked that the staff was professional and friendly. We arrived late to pick up our keys to the Salangane Hotel in downtown El Nido (where you have to pick up your keys priors to getting to the apartments), and they arranged transport to the apartments from there. Thank god they did we would not have found the place if not.

The Hotel is run down and does not look like on the pictures. The fact that you have to walk several minutes was fine for us to hide from the super busy El Nido Center, but you do not get the feeling of beeing in a nice place. Would not recommend to book it, even half of the price would be too much!

Stayed in November 2023

Wrong direction to collect the key, no one answer for support, very difficult to reach unless you wanna walk for 15 minutes or you need to wait for 20 minutes to get a ride and each round is for 200php, electricity cuts off and always no hot water... Honestly I will no repeat it..

The view, the dogs only and the value of money 😂😂

To put a generator please and the foot access going to the house from the alley is very unsafe to walk on specially carrying your luggage as it is made by stacking sand bags.

The stay was quite uncomfortable due to electricity black out practically everyday with some days over 10 hours and the property doesn't not have an alternative generator to provide electricity so very uncomfortable during the night sleeping without air-conditioning in the 33 degrees heat. The only positive thing is the host and the young lady looking after the place as very nice and pleasant to us.

Location, lovely but shy staff.

You have to talk to the staff properly to make your point,english is not there primary language,so its better to clarify things always as my partner did.

Quiet and relaxing Rooms has kitchen and accommodating staff. They are always ready to assist you whatever you need

The room was very nice and charming and very spatious. We liked a location as it was quiet and still close to the town. Also front yard was nice and great for chilling and maybe the best part of accommodation. It is good value for money. Also host was wellcoming and willing to help in all situations.

Stayed in February 2023

Host very welcoming and helpful in organizing scooter rental and tours. Beautiful sea view from the property.
