Quiet, ocean front, simple, but perfect.
Although an older hotel, its location is quiet and it has the best pool overlooking the ocean. The staff are really lovely and it was a wonderful stay.

Where do I start? First, the place is not the same as in the pictures.The owner of the place is so rude! Where my sibling stayed, they all got a lot of bites! Not sure if they were bed bugs or what, but something bit them. The room had lot of ants and the tv and bathroom were not working - clogged toilet that wouldn't flush. When we asked for the room to be cleaned, the cups dirty and the dirty towels not replace! We had to pay going in and out of this place, Don't be fooled by the website this place is out of nowhere you could stay somewhere where is cheapear and convenient to you...

The pictures are very deceiving. Pool is dirty,never seen the filter on, the whole time we were there. It shows that the maintenance of the property is very minimal. The only thing great about the resort are the staffs. I wouldn't recommend the property to anyone. It was very disappointing.

I had a wonderful first visit and look forward to coming back again. The owner Mr. Uli, went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, and get me to my island hopping cruise on time! Warm and friendly staff. Very helpful. Beautiful location on the beach. シ

Truthful review. The only two pleasing things at this hotel was we had a beautiful view ocean view from our balcony and the staff were excellent and so friendly. The hotel itself needs a complete renovation. There was a lot of rust and rotted wood around the exterior of the building. The owner was alway in the lounge area which is ok, but we always struggled to get change. He had to pull money out of his pocket. Very shabby business practices here. For my room, the sliding door was the only door to the room. The lock did not work so they had to replace it but he told me the people that checked out that morning had no issues. Complete lie because when their maintenance guy tried, he couldn’t get it to work either. Had loose tiles on the floor. No water pressure in the shower. When I opened the bathroom door from the inside, the door knob came off. The air conditioner could not keep the room cool enough during the day but night was ok. The reviews were good that is why we got a room here, but I wouldn’t recommend staying here. Also, it is about 15 minutes from a road to get to a tricycle or taxi because of a very narrow way to the hotel.

The view from the rooms and the pool is exactly like you see on the pictures. It is spectacular. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Lot of times they serve you the things you might need without asking. For example towels for your excursions.. You can conveniently book excursions with them and they provide free transportation or rent a scooter from them. Meals and cocktails available as well. We had a fantastic time.

Great location! The hotel is on the beach side so you’re able to catch amazing sunrise/sunset views. The staff was very nice and super helpful in accommodating our needs and coordinating breakfast each morning as well as the island hopping tours. The breakfast was good..The rooms were good..a little rundown but for the price, it’s worth it! Overall, we were all satisfied with our stay and would recommend. They also provide roundtrip transportation from the airport.

The view is great but the rooms, stairs, bathrooms and pool are so dirty, everything is broken and not working. You will only pay for the view that’s what it is. You need to put money out every time. You borrow an umbrella you have to give a deposit the moment you walked in you have to put a deposit. Terrible! The owner is always on top of his staff and making the so uncomfortable in front of the guests. Scolding them in front of us. Staying here was a waste.

We were a little worried about coming here due to some of the bad reviews that have been left but after visiting I genuinely don't know what the issue was for these guests. Yes it's a little weathered but that's the nature of this kind of environment and the property having zero income/funding for about two years during the pandemic. We didn't see any evidence of bed bugs and no ants were in the room. The owner is a very friendly chap and the staff are always willing to assist when you need something. They also provide a free shuttle service to the town during the day (small surcharge of 150 pesos after 7pm, 900 pesos for an airport transfer). The breakfast did the job for me and they serve food throughout the day and have good variety on the menu, the pizza was wonderful and I was genuinely surprised to see they had their own home made dough in the fridge! Overall for the price I had no issues with this property and recommend anyone booking to go there with an open mind.

Where do I begin? Arriving at the “resort” was quite the experience. My girlfriend and I arrive at the El Nido airport and take a motorcycle trike to El Nido. In the town of El Nido the driver tells us he cannot take us all the way to the hotel and to call and they will pick us up. We call and then someone shows up and tells us we have to walk to his trike, we walk through a small alley and onto the beach at high tide and have to take off our shoes and run across the beach area bounded by a wall and terrace while carrying luggage. Upon arrival at the hotel and getting to our room it was quite a disappointment, it smelled, had mold in a corner of the ceiling, this was not a water stain as I verified this by standing on a chair and rubbed some off with my finger. It looks nothing even close to the pictures on Expedia as the Expedia pictures are skillfully taken to avoid anything that looks bad. This place is in need of serious maintenance. On the second day we requested our room to be cleaned which was not done as promised. On the second night the owner stayed up drinking after midnight at the bar all while talking loudly and laughing with complete disregard for guests trying to sleep. Along with this we paid $32 for 2 small bags for laundry service only to get it after asking for the second time the next day at 6 PM, about 34 hours after leaving our clothes. Dirty pool, no water in the jacuzzi, smell of sewer from the shower drain at times. A run down and dirty place.
