Really enjoyed our stay, the location and the view were incredible. The rooms were very basic, nice, maybe a little dark. The service could have been a lot better. The reception was very lackluster and stingy with details. When inquiring about booking tours with them they just referred me to a printed out poster with an overview and were unwilling to elaborate further. The tricycle shuttle to town is nice in theory, but it only goes at certain hours making it fairly useless. It’s active in the morning between 8-10am, which is too early if you want a relaxed morning, but too late if you have booked diving or another activity. It only goes again later in the evening. The breakfast was also a little sad with instant coffee and dry toast. We were also told breakfast would be between 7-10. However when I showed up at 9:40 they told me that the last order is at 9:30 and only reluctantly accepted my order. Overall the location and scenery is gorgeous, and we really did have an amazing time!

we had a really nice stay here! It’s just a 15 minute walk to El Nido town. The cottages are really cute. Just be careful to choose a room with AC, some of them don’t have a unit. Ours did and it worked well. Breakfast was amazing! Really delicious, and you have a great view of the beach while you eat. Staff was really nice. One thing to note when getting there - we were on motorcycle and Google maps took us down a very tricky dirt road/hill, not for the faint of heart. We found out after that there’s a small paved road along the beach that is much better. If you take a car/van, you cannot get there. You’ll have to be dropped off near town and walk 15 minutes. They also have a really convenient tricycle shuttle service that’ll pick up and drop off from town, and it’s free, you just have to let them know.

Stunning location. Had the room with the view and my work its amazing. Room and hotel looked far better than I thought. Overall basic service could have been better. Cleaners did a poor job, and restaurant made basic mistakes such as getting our order wrong. Also the shower water is quite salty and there's some blackouts which is common for el nido.

Beautiful location and greatly welcoming staff. Breakfast consists of American or Filipino options , both were great . Beach front rooms are a great option. Local services such as bike rental , tours , taxi and laundry are available onsite . Would definitely return .

Wonderful setting and friendly staff. upon arrival, after the worst night, I had to negotiate the air conditioning in the room I booked, it was really loud, I was ready to give up the place and go to another hotel even though I had made a reservation for a week. The staff handled the situation nicely and as a result my room was changed to a sea front room where the air conditioning was perfect. The hotel's own restaurant is located in the lap of the sea, a really charming location. Although the restaurant's menu seemed good, the food was not very special compared to the price level. However, I could come here again, I think there are only 3 sea front rooms
