No complaints! There are a lot of comments about the stairs so here’s my take- the stairs weren’t much of an issue for us. You could try to request a lower room if you’re worried about them, but there’s no elevator so you will have to take at least some stairs.

Beautiful property, great location. No street access but the staff was incredibly helpful with our bags and arranging transportation to and from the airport. Short walk along the beach to reach the vanilla beach shops, where you can easily get a trike/taxi. Amazing sunsets every night, the ocean is crystal clear and warm with lots of little fish if you like to snorkel, adorable (& very friendly) dogs all around. Pool is only for hotel guests, which was nice. The restaurants were good with a great selection of drinks- try the pineapple basil daiquiri!- and the breakfast (banana pancakes) was delicious.

The hotel is in a beautiful location . Since there are a lot of steps not suitable for people with walking difficulties. Breakfast was good. Little snacks during the day also. Restaurant for dinner OK but not top.

The whole stay was fine. There was nothing that stands out as being a problem.

Staff was very helpful. Always someone available to offer support and recommendations. The areas around the pool and lounge are perfect. Allows you to escape the crowd of the beach and still enjoy the beauty of the area. Being able to use the kayak was nice and the seating area down on the beach is a nice option.

From the sand to my room was 140 steps up stairs with no elevator. I understand that it probably isn’t possible to install one, but all older guests need to be ready and it obviously isn’t handicapped accessible

The view was spectacular. The staff was incredibly helpful.

Limited choices for breakfast. No fresh juice included (additional charge applies).

Very friendly hotel staff. Excellent sea views from the balcony. Very good beach bar (drinks, full moon parties, DJs and live music,...). Good internet speed. Hotel located at one of the best beaches in El Nido.

I wouldn’t consider this a negative for us personally but there are a lot of steps up to some of the rooms. Ultimately it’s worth it for the views of the place but beware if you are a less mobile traveller.

Comfy beds, gorgeous rooms with stunning views, peaceful and calm, infinity pool is perfectly sized and has fab views, nice breakfast, tasty food and drinks at very reasonable prices, and the staff were super friendly and helpful, consistently going out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our stay and the island! Shout out to Ariel and Nervin.

We love everything about Mua Tala!!! Anywhere you go (room, restaurant, pool, cafe and bar), the views are spectacular!!!!! My husband and I spent 5days here for our honeymoon, but wished we could’ve stayed longer. The staffs were very lovely and friendly, all of them!!! The food (especially the shitake pasta) and drinks were really tasty. We actually got a little bit too much to drink on our first night, also because we came just in time for the full moon party. We would definitely recommend and come back ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

The view from the room is amazing, as well as the beach in front of the hotel. The staff is very polite and the rooms and general hotel and beach area is quite clean. They even helped us book an island hopping tour and we were picked up from the hotel reception. The breakfast was good, but limited options and we got bored on the third day staying there. The breakfast is not buffet like but rather 1 portion per person and are not that filling which could be a positive thing as you’d have energy for the rest of the day, but some people would prefer and say otherwise. If you’d like one more portion you could do so, but for extra charges. They also offer you kayak or paddle board rentals free of charge. The immediate walking area of the hotel is full of restaurants or coffee shops. The wifi is exceptional, the room is perfectly ventilated just with the fan without needing to turn on the AC.

The restaurant had its ups and downs with some inexperienced staff

Stayed in February 2024

The staff was extremely professional and helpful! The food took a bit to be served but was exceptional for the price. We loved everything we ordered. The proximity of the hotel to a smll shopping area, the beach and other activities was very convenient. The Mua Tala Hotel itself had a beach bar and café at its base. The atmosphere was very relaxing and beautiful! Ms. Louella was a godsend! My fiancé proposed here and it was all planned wonderfully with Ms. Louella's help! From recommendations for videographers/photographers, the location, the food, the set-up and the day of execution, it was truly an unforgettable moment and overall adventure. I saw some of the reviews complaining about the staircases being an issue. We stayed at the highest rooming accommodation (King Suite) and although it was several flights of stairs, it did not bother us. The staff carried all our belongings to our room anyway. The assessment of that being a con is unjust. Logistically speaking, to expect other alternative infrastructure to be in place is privileged. They are just stairs. We truly want to thank Ms. Louella and the staff for an amazing experience that will live on with us forever! We hope to be back some day!

The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The view was incredible, lovely staff and amenities. The restaurant was also great - we didn’t have any reason to leave. Truly a home away from home!

Everything was perfect!

We fell in love with this hotel and our room! So much space ~ large bed and a huge bathroom! The shower was a dream! Everything about this place was 5 stars! Great breakfast too. We had amazing views of the beach from our balcony in the penthouse!

Several meals and drinks were not available. Also, the hotel was not inclined to negotiate the activity prices and therefore we found other (cheaper) solutions less than 200m from the location. The rooms are not isolated, therefore you will hear the wave sounds, which is nice for some but not if you are trying to get some rest.

Probably the most beautiful view we had during our trip. The hotel is ideally located. The stairs were not a problem for us but as other comments state, you better be fit!

If you're not in average physical shape, there is no elevator, stairs only and a 5-10 min. walk to the main road if you plan to explore the parts of El Nido.

The property, views, and location were amazingly beautiful. The filipino breakfast was delicious and the staff, especially Jade and Mitch were very friendly and helpful.

Wow, wow wow. I can’t explain in words. You just gotta go Check it out!! one of the most beautiful places to stay in El Nido. The staff are super friendly. The food is great. They have a great bar and coffee area. I think it’s the most beautiful beach in El nido area by far.

There was nothing not to like about our stay at Mua Tala except having to leave.

The bedroom was spacious, well appointed with an incredible view over the sea and islands. Everything and more was provided including a well stocked mini bar, toiletries, bath robes, slippers and an endless supply of beach towels. All the staff were very polite, helpful and friendly and provide a service over and above, from the security guards, waiting servers, kitchen staff, cleaning team and Jade and his colleagues at reception. The infinity pool, lounge, restaurant and beach bar are all wonderful and of a high standard. Mua Tala is on a beautiful beach from where you can swim in the warm calm sea and watch the sunset.
