Nice location and very close to the main town. The room have all amenities you need for a short stay. Tour agency and port are at 10 min by walk away through the beach. Staff very nice and friendly.

La ubicación es perfecta porque está a 10 minutos andando del Nido, Sitio Calan es la mejor ubicación para alojarse. El restaurante del hotel muy muy bueno. Las instalaciones están bien.
Presión del agua.
The food was delicious, the staff were wonderful, kind and very helpful
Calm and clean place. Staff is easy going, the room is spacious and cozy. It was a bery nice stay
We had an amazing stay and would definitely come back. The property was very clean and well maintained, and housekeeping even serviced our room during our stay, which was a nice surprise. The bedroom was comfortable, quiet, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, making it a great place to relax after a day of exploring. The bathroom was spacious, and although the shower pressure was slightly weak, it still worked well and wasn’t an issue. The location was also very convenient, with an easy walk to the main area of El Nido where you’ll find plenty of restaurants, food stalls, shops, bars, and the beach. One of the biggest highlights was the hosts, who were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us organise Tour A, our van transfer, and a scooter rental. They made everything so easy and stress-free. The café attached to the property was another standout—the food was delicious, and we found ourselves eating there several times throughout our stay. The Wi-Fi worked well for the most part, with only the occasional interruption. Overall, it offered fantastic value for money, and we’d happily stay here again.
This accommodation was a gem. It is a family owned hotel with 6 rooms. The owners (live in site with their children), and staff were super friendly. It is just a very happy environment. They helped us with tours, van transfer to El Nido and a motor bike rental. The food from their restaurant, Alimos is amazing. We had daily breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend them as your stay in El Nido.
We didn’t mind this, but the property is outside of the town. You have to walk 10-15mins to get into town. We lived the beach and quiet.
The staff members, room, facilities, and the Alimos restaurant. Special thanks to Ms. Nellda, Mr. Beynard, Mr. Pablo, Ms. Diane, Mr. Yodick, and Ms. Myrna for making my stay memorable and pleasant!
None. Everything was superb.
Everything was great! It was a very pleasant stay and excellent value for money if you're not looking for a luxury hotel. They provide everything you need and gave me the best recommendations for my stay. Thank you so much! 🫶
We loved our stay in Bella Athena. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home! The location is also splendid, about 5 mins walk from the beach. We would definitely stay here again!
Such a good resort, the staff was amazing they sorted everything for us. Such as the motorbikes,boat tour and tuk tuks. Really recommend staying here.

We had a fantastic stay at Bella Athena. The location is excellent, with everything you need close by. The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment was clean and well-maintained. A special thank you to Paulo, who was amazing throughout our stay. He was always happy to help, friendly, responsive, and made us feel very welcome.
Das Personal ist super lieb und hilfsbereit! Es gibt auch ein Restaurant, das wirklich leckere Gerichte hat! Die Zimmer waren sauber und das Bett war auch in Ordnung. Außerdem gab es einen Wasserspender und Kaffee und das Internet war gut. Außerdem gab es einen kostenlosen Shuttleservice. Das Resort ist sehr schön.
Die Zimmer sind sehr klein und der Raum wurde nicht sauber gemacht. (vielleicht muss man nachfragen?) Außerdem ist es leider sehr laut durch einen Hahn der jeden Morgen hinter den Räumen krähte.
L’emplacement La Clim fonctionnait très bien La propreté
Ma chambre était à côté de la cuisine donc il y avait beaucoup de bruit. Et ce dès très tot le matin. Le personnel parle assez fort et on entend tout
Great staff, great service amazing people and great place to stay
Wifi didnt always work 100%
Our stay at Bella Athena Gardens in El Nido was truly a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, they helped us with everything—from arranging transportation to organizing our tours—making our trip completely stress-free. The hosts are amazing people, incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone visiting El Nido!

Veldig koselig sted, med alt vi trengte. Personalet var veldig hjelpsomme med det vi trengte - og gratis kaffe var ikke dumt!
Aircon lagde mye lyd og var vanskelig å få til god temperatur.
Staff gentile, colazione ottima,
Le stanze sono prive di appoggi, servirebbe inserire delle mensole e dei ganci nel bagno e un mobile in più in camera. Condizionatori da cambiare, sono molto rumorosi.
①朝食付きにしたのですが、選べる朝食美味しかったです ②スタッフが駐車場のお手伝いをしてくれた
1.エアコンが凄く効いていたのですが 音がすごくて、弱めても、なかなか眠りにつけなかった 2.宿までの街からの道が真っ暗で、帰り少し怖かった 3.送迎の連絡やチェックイン時の連絡が取れなくて 心配でした
La cama era cómoda, tenía agua y café disponibles.
Las habitaciones están alrededor de su bar con las consiguientes molestias. Es carísimo para lo que ofrece y la ubicación que tiene, falta de enchufes, alquila motos que no están en condiciones, ofrece un supuesto shuttle gratuito que resulta ser erróneo ya que te cobra 150 pesos por ir al puerto. Desayuno caro y escaso. Las propietarias son bastante groseras, sobre todo la que alquila las motos.
Une équipe accueillante et bienveillante. La location de scooter directement à l’établissement avec des prix égales à l’extérieur. Et le breakfast délicieux. Ne pas hésiter à prendre aussi le repas car la cuisine est excellente.

The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They helped us plan tours and would connect us with tuktuk drivers that would take us to all the nearby beaches. The food at the hotel was well-priced and delicious. The rooms were comfortable and the addition of a front porch was great for relaxing and enjoying the warm weather.
Very nice and great staff. Our room was opposite the restaurant to not too private but it was okay.
Homey accommodation, the breakfast, and extra ordinary service. the owners are so accommodating making sure that we have a great stay. They even arrange our tour. Free flowing coffee 😍
Nothing. I just love how it is. You will get more from what you paid.
The accessibility of nearby spots in El Nido
Nothing, it was really great
Everyone was so kind & accommodating. Great location with free tuktuk ride to town square. The room was clean & our favorite was the own balcony. Highly enjoyed & recommended!
We had a nice stay at Bella Athena Garden in El Nido. The staff was very friendly, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. It was also easy to rent a scooter and book tours directly through the accommodation. The room was okay, and the location was good — about a 10-minute walk to El Nido town. Overall, a great stay and a good choice for visiting El Nido.
Emplacement et conseils de l'hôte. Bon petit déjeuner
Chambres (proximité cuisine) mal insonorisées, mais fin du service à 21 h 30, donc pas trop grave Un peu de promiscuité.
La localisation est incroyable : à distance à pied du centre ville d’El Nido, tout en étant dans un endroit très calme. La gentillesse du personnel. Ils louent des scooter à un prix compétitif. Ils sont réactifs à nos demandes par message. Le service de navette en tuktuk dans le centre ville est très pratique. Le restaurant était très bon !! Il y a du café et de l’eau à disposition toute la journée Les chambres sont très mignonnes, on s’y sent bien
La climatisation dans la chambre est bien trop bruyante.. mais avec des boules quies ça passe
Great hotel with amazing staff! Hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, a 10 minute walk away from the center of El Nido. This was perfect for us. We had a comfortable stay. The staff really made our stay memorable. Always in good spirits and in for a chat.
We liked our stay. It would have been nice though to have our room cleaned once or twice during our 7 night stay. However, I think if we had asked for it at the reception they would definitely cleaned our room. We also forgot to ask. Maybe a ‘please clean our room’ sign that you can hang on the outside of the room would be nice.
Lovely island vibe, coffee and teas open. Staff very helpful and welcoming
Slight luck of privacy in our room which was facing the restaurant
Closer to El Nido proper town square. Good breakfast.
Staff gentilissimo e stanza piccola ma pulitissima! Abbiamo cenato una sera nel ristorante della struttura ed é stata ottima.
The property was vey comfortable. No issues with water or draining, had breakfast available, nice aesthetic, strong ac, and great staff.
It was a bit far from town but they accommodated with their rice service.
L’authenticité
Beaucoup trop chère pour les prestation
Quiet location, comfortable beds, good staff
Small rooms with no room to sit or store clothes. Restaurant was ok . The hotel sold us an expensive tour which was not professional. It was disorganized and did not provide the amenities promised in the package.
Tres bel endroit, chambre spacieuse et propre. Tres bon petit déjeuner. Personnel tres sympathique et agréable. Je recommande
J aurais aimé que la chambre soit nettoyée durant le séjour
Rami vieta.
Apie 1km nuo El.Nido centro. Sienos ir grindys su tarpais, sviecia laukas. Kondicionierius labai triuksmingas, bet saldo gerai.
TOUT! Mais surtout la gentillesse la prévenance du personnel
Rien! Tout était parfait
Die Unterkunft hatte richtigen "Insel Flair". Schön grün, viele Pflanzen, alles offen. Tolles Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen anbei und das Personal war super herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Wir haben auch die Touren über das Hotel gebucht und waren zufrieden. Zudem bieten sie auch einen Scooter Verleih in der Unterkunft an, was sehr praktisch ist.
La gentillesse du personnel La chambre était très propre et confortable L’hôtel est au calme, c’est très agréable, il se situe à 15 min à pied du centre d’El Nido
Beaucoup d’humidité dans la chambre
Vriendelijke staff , fantastisch ontbijt en een erg fijne kamer.
Super friendly personel, they can organize a transport, rent motorbike, help with planning activities. Food was good, area quiet, rooms very comfortable. Definitely recommending this one! :)
location, friendly and accommodating hosts
smelly bathroom
Malonus personalas
Labai prasta garso izoliacija, kondicionierius super garsiai veikė, trukdė miegoti
Really Lovely and helpful staff, food was amazing! Would love to come back and recommend to anyone I know.
Good check in
The room is smaller than expect and the over light lights are poorly designed we were constantly getting hit by the lights and next to the charging port. There is a box that you cannot remove and you cannot put anything on that table either and the charging port is on that side, little weird, my friend and I were Constantly bumping into the bed because it was so tight space with the shelf. Though it is written that it’s close to the beach, but it’s about like 15 minutes walk and at night that road is extremely dark and quiet. If given options probably, I will not stay here for the next time.
The room is big and very pretty. I had the best breakfast of my trip, it was really good. Having the restaurant nearby is really nice. Staff members are helpful and kind. Walkable distance from EL NIDO TOWN SQUARE.
The environment of the hotel is very rural. Not a bad thing at all but you have to keep it in mind. The hotel is smaller than I expected. The water of the shower does not go directly into the drains so it is a little bit uncomfortable to have water flooding afterwards.
Jedyny minus hoteliku to to, że ma on również restaurację, w związku z tym popołudniami jest tam bardzo głośno i dużo ludzi się schodzi i siedzi do późnych godzin wieczornych. Więc jeżeli szukasz ciszy i spokoju, no to tego miejsca nie będę polecać.
We will come back because it is a friendly hotel...quiet, good location nearby market..excellent attach restaurant ,very comfortable bed and rooml..
Nothing🥰❤️
BERNARDO ❤️
Die Besitzer sind ausgesprochen gastfreundlich. Das Frühstück ist lecker. Betten/ Matratzen und Kissen sind bequem.
Staff was wonderful! The restaurant had great food and it was nice to be outside of the busy el Nido area
Kitchen smells lingered to rooms but not a big deal
For the price and location we loved this stay and the warm welcome and service. Food was really fab also!.
Het restaurantje
Hele kleine en gehorige kamer
Leuk ingerichte kamer, gezellig verblijf, behulpzame eigenaars.
We sliepen boven de eetruimte en voelden onze kamer bewegen als er onder ons heen en weer gestapt werd. Je kon de mensen ook goed horen praten. We hadden dus oordopjes nodig.
Sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr hilfsbereit. Ruhige Lage.
Wir hatten das Zimmer oberhalb des Restaurants und neben der Gastfamilie und es war leider sehr ringhörig.
Emplacement Gentillesse de la Propriétaire Restaurant Chambre
Clim trop bruyante mais ok
Das immer sehr freundliche Personal, die Lage (zentral dennoch nicht direkt im Zentrum), die Hilfen beim Rollermieten, Wäsche waschen sowie Touren Buchung
Super freundliche Gastgeber und leckeres Essen aus der eigenen Hofküche! Wir konnten flexibel und ohne Probleme das Zimmer tauschen - und eines weiter hinten im Hof beziehen! Auch die Möglichkeit mit dem TukTuk Richtung Zentrum zu fahren, war sehr angenehm!
Die Zimmer liegen etwas „beengt“ im Hinterhof, wo auch die Küche ist. Es gab viele Angestellte und Arbeiter die während unseres Aufenthalts gewuselt und gearbeitet haben, dadurch war es etwas laut.
Staff is amazing and very accommodating. Feels like a proper home :) The place itself is charming, quaint and has lots of character - a little oasis for yourself. Barely hearing others who are staying close or next to you. The location is nice and tucked away within a small community of Filipinos - an even extra plus!
The only “negative” thing I can say is the shower could use a little bit of work. Not the water or water pressure, but the construction of it. Water kept spilling over into the other parts of the bathroom because the tiles are even flat so nothing is really stopping the water from pouring over. Maybe a little lip or raise between the bathroom and shower would be helpful? That’s pretty much it, and wasn’t even that big of an issue. :)
We had a truly wonderful stay with the Filipino owners and staff. They are incredibly devoted to their community and actively support people who lost everything during the typhoons. If you’re visiting and can spare a few pesos, they can help you donate toward groceries and medicine, or you can even purchase these yourself and distribute them through the municipality. Please consider doing so. The Philippines is a beautiful destination, and giving back to its people is both meaningful and easy. Thank you, Beynard and Nellda!
Lovely family-run hotel, cozy and stylish, comfortable bed and all the necessary amenities available, free pick-up and drop-off at the town square, and absolutely delicious food
I wish there was a swimming pool, it's a bit away from the main street with bars and restaurants
Bardzo wygodne łóżka, świetna przestrzeń wspólna.
Wszytsko było ok
The owners and staff are very hospitable. This hotel made our stay in El Nido super convenient and exceptional. Food in their restaurant is superb and room is very comftable. I highly recommend this hotel.
- das Essen im dazugehörigen Restaurant war richtig richtig gut! - sehr nettes Personal - gute Lage
- die Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen (man bekommt in anderen Hotels mehr für das gleiche Geld) - Sauberkeit könnte besser sein
Super cozy place, a short walk to the center, super cozy, staff is amazing and helped out with everything! Also the food was really good! Great local experience.
A/C a bit loud but just turned it off during the night:)
Die Besitzer waren super Freundlich und hat uns mit jedem Anliegen geholfen. Das Frühstück war mit Abstand das beste auf den Philippinen.
Die Klimaanlage im Zimmer war sehr laut.
Przepyszne jedzenie i super obsługa, we wszystkim właściciele pomagają, w transporcie, wycieczkach itp.
