Banana Grove El Nido

Hospitality

Annie es atenta, muy amable y siempre con una sonrisa. Te ayuda a organizar excursiones y ofrece servicio de renting de moto. Nos ayudó con todo lo que estaba en su mano, ¡que no fue poco! Las habitaciones son correctas. El desayuno, preparado al momento, está muy rico. ¡Recomendado! Está ubicado muy cerca de Lio Beach, una gran playa de arena con servicio de comida excelente.

El baño es compartido. Como el lugar está en la naturaleza, puede haber algunos animales. ¡Estamos en Filipinas!

Super nettes Personal. Sind erst gegen 23 Uhr angekommen, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war, jemand ist extra wach geblieben für uns. Auch mega hilfsbereit, z.B. beim Roller buchen oder sonstigen Touren.

L’ambiance backpack cabane

La tranquillité de l'endroit et l'accueil.

The property is really next to the town and the beach, it’s very cute, looks like a little camping, and the guest is soooo nice and helpful thank you so much !! :)

Ja gerne. Nun die Chefin dort war sehr nett. Eine Single Mutter ohne Mann.. soweit so gut. Die ganze Anlage aber ist eine Katastrophe! Alles n einem extrem desolaten Zustand. Staub ohne Ende Für den Preis nur was für Hartgesottene !! Wer was anderes dort erlebt hat soll mich anrufen .

Für die Betteiber dieser Unterkunft wäre es anzuraten in die Ausstattung zu investieren und erst dann wieder bei Booking.com zu vermarkten. Mit guten Fotos kann man leider den realen Zustand extrem verfälschen. Sorry für die Ehrlichkeit.

douches typiques

Schöner Garten, leckeres Frühstück

Extrem hellhörig, keine warme Dusche, Weg zur Unterkunft ziemlich schlecht

We really enjoyed staying here! The place gave me a camp vibe, but at the same time super clean and looked after! Amazing staff, gave us so many good tips on what to do in El Nido and even better breakfast! We stayed here for 3 nights and would 100% come back:)

Personnel extraordinaire et lieu magique

La familia es un 10, el primer día que llegamos nos invitaron a cenar con ellos, y siempre han estados disponibles para todo. El desayuno muy bueno y todo bastante limpio.

Está lejos del centro, a pesar de que ya lo sabíamos pensábamos que el transporte sería barato para bajar al centro o ir a playas alrededor pero no. El transporte es caro.

Breakfast is nice. The place is beautiful.

The rooms are really small, no space for your staff and the bed is not comfortable. Also not enough showers, you always have to wait. And the water is extremely cold.

Die Unterkunft wurde am selben Tag wegen Stromausfall gecancelt. Mein Geld habe ich nicht vollständig erstattet bekommen.

Really nice banana farm away from all the tourists and general hustle and bustle. The owner is a lovely woman who will organise all your motorbike rentals and tricycle rides. She extended my stay with ease and the breakfast was so yum . I reccomend the banana & chocolate crepe! I really enjoyed the bathrooms too and the shower, even if cold! It’s a very cute place having your own hut to yourself.

It can get a bit noisy with the roosters and you’ll definitely want a bike if you’re staying for more than a night to get around. Very bumpy narrow dirt road to get to and out of but I didn’t mind too much as I’m experienced with riding motorbikes. I heard a noisy couple next door in their hut which spoiled my stay for a moment so bring ear plugs as you can hear next door easily. A short ride to one of the best beaches in el nido - lio beach

The property is nice as you see in the pics. The owner is amazing and super helpful she gave us some really good tips and I would definitely stay there if I’m back :) thank you !

Nothing all good, you simply need a scooter or a tuk tuk to get around

Lovely and helpful host who sorted our tour, scooter rental and transport to Port Barton. Tasty breakfast! Clean bathrooms with amenities provided. The bed was comfortable and it had an effective mosquito net.

Not a bad thing but a consideration - it is a 15 minute drive by trike from El Nido town. It is a nice quiet area (apart from animals at night) and it is closer to the beautiful Lio beach.

L’endroit est très sympa et bien entretenu par la gérante des lieux. Le petit déjeuner, qui est compris dans le tarif est aussi très correct. Le rapport qualité-prix reste correct !

Il y avait 2 toilettes sur 3 qui fonctionnaient et pour 7 habitations cela reste assez faible. De plus, l’eau de la douche est assez froide, mais cela reste correct

Nous avons adorée l’emplacement, la gentillesse du personnel très accueillant et serviable. Merci

La douche froide

Super établissement à distance du centre ville donc bien au calme ! Des petites cabanes dispersées dans un jardin super bien entretenu - un lieu vraiment paisible ! Différents choix de petits déjeuner (mention spéciale pour les crêpes à la banane que nous avons mangé en boucle!!). Le personnel est adorable ! Possibilité de louer des scooter et de booker son transport pour port Barton (van qui vient vous récupérer devant l’établissement) : vraiment pratique !

Very charming huts located in an actual banana grove! Shared facilities were good, decent showers and toiletries provided. Host was extremely friendly and helpful, offered to call us a taxi when we left and warmly greeted us each time we came back to the property. Free drinking water available, and the complimentary breakfast was excellent.

Can be noisy in the the surrounding area (mostly dogs barking) but the host does pre-warn about this.

Un havre de paix loin de l'effervescence d'El nido. L'accueil et la gentillesse de la gérante.

Rustic and simple

Not applicable

La location e' un po' fuori da El Nido, in Villa Libertad! Annie è un cuore, ti aiuta a organizzare gite e spostamenti. La colazione è top!

Le zanzare nella doccia.

Nous avons aimé l’accueil de l’hôte ! La serviabilité du personnel et leur gentillesse. La possibilité de laver son linge, tout le nécessaire toilette y est présent (gel douche, shampooing et après shampooing ! Pour Possibilité d’avoir un chauffeur privé et de louer sur place un moyen de transport ! Pouvoir prendre le petit déjeuné et repas.

Il y a beaucoup de bruit derrière les chambres, dans la petit ruelle ! Le papier toilette souvent manquant, l’eau est froide (mais c’est leur façon de vivre et on s’y habitue).

Prima als je van basic houdt. Leuk mensen, scooter huren gaat makkelijk.

Bed is erg hard

The host is amazing

Eine unglaubliche Gastgeberin - sie hilft bei allen Sachen: Rollervermietung, Transfers, Kanu-Touren etc. Ohne dabei auf Profit aus zu sein. Hat die besten Empfehlungen und steuert ein kostenloses Frühstück bei. Auch ein ausgewogenes Mittag-/Abendessen kann man erhalten. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unschlagbar. Vor allem für Backpacker geeinigt. Man kann jetzt keinen Luxus erwarten, aber es ist alles sehr sauber und man fühlt sich jeder Zeit wohl. Die belebte Innenstadt kann man in 10 Minuten mit dem Roller erreichen.

Super logement, avec des hôtes d'une gentillesse extraordinaire !

C'est vraiment authentique et une très chouette expérience ! Les cabanes sont plutôt grandes, on a de la place dedans et même une petite terrasse ! Le jardin est très sympa ! Petit souci d'électricité à l'arrivée mais largement compensé par l'amabilité de l'hôte !

L'eau rafraîchissante de la douche, mais ça peut arriver aux Philippines. Après, il faut s'attendre à vivre une expérience quelque peu rustique, matelas, douche, wc mais c'est l'aventure !

Un acceuil incroyable,la patronne est une vraie commerçante. La simplicité. C'est comme a la maison. Très bon rapport qualité prix

Rien a signaler pour le prix

Posizione

Quasi tutto ,bisogna fare parecchi lavori dai bagni doccie, e i bungalow vanno un po. aggiustati .prese elettriche vecchie ecc.

Annie is een geweldige gastvrouw. Wij vonden het een heerlijke plek en ook het ontbijt was heerlijk. Voor ons voelde her heel goed.

Niets

a mini paradise - such a unique stay & absolutely adored being surrounded by such beautiful plants with animals running around. lovely lovely lady who runs the place with her sweet son & dog :) homemade breakfast which was delicious really one of the places that stuck out from our 4 months travelling asia

No me gustó nada porqué nos canceló la habitación. Estábamos saliendo de Puerto Princesa y nos dijo qué no fuésemos

Nos canceló la reserva a las 18.00.

Not peaceful location.

No food around & difficult to sleep due to outside disturbance.

La propriétaire est super sympa, très arrangeante et essaye toujours d'aider ! Les locaux sont top et le petit dej très bon :)

Het hutjes en het sanitair is simpel maar fijn. De plek waar de hutjes staan is erg groen en rustgevend. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk 😊

Het bed is wat klein voor twee personen en het is een stukje scooteren naar het toeristische deel van El Nido

La possibilità di provare una nuova esperienza e dormire in capanna e stato bello.

Mi è piaciuto tutto onestamente

Tutto

Niente

Had the best stay! Stayed for multiple nights before too and might come back some more. The people working, living there are so kind too.

Un lugar espectacular y un trato increíble. Desayunos riquísimos. Alquilan también la moto ahí mismo y eso nos ha dado muchísima libertad.

La cabaña no es demasiado grande, pero no nos ha supuesto un problema.

We really enjoy the place : nice vibe and energy over there. Close to the locals but also not to far of the city and the beautiful beaches. But the things that change our trip is : Annie. A sweet and nice woman with a pure heart who she always gonna to give you good advices and help you for your trip. Also Christine, David and Benji give us a lot of love, we feel like in a family in this place ! Thanks you again, you are in our hearts ❤️ Marie & Margot

Super endroit pour rester un peu en dehors du tumulte de El Nido proper. Annie est une super hôte, toujours disponible et accueillante. Top !

I don't have the words to thank Annie, Kristine, Benjie, and David. We had an exceptional stay with Annie, who is a truly kind-hearted person. Annie showed us around the area, helped us with transportation, boat tours, and scooter rentals, and was able to advise us on anything and everything. We stayed in a small, traditional bamboo hut in a beautiful garden, and the food was excellent. For outsiders: there is no hot water, but that's far from being a problem. We'll be happy to come back. A truly simple and pleasant life that is good for the body and mind. Thanks again.

El desayuno era muy bueno y te lo adapta a tu gusto. Además la anfitriona y su familia son muy majos.

Condiciones de limpieza pésimas tanto de la habitación como del baño comunitario. Las duchas no funcionan, no hay luz en el baño ni agua caliente. Las habitaciones tienen ventilador pero la electricidad se suele ir algún rato todos los días por lo tanto durante ese momento no tienes como enfriar la habitación.

Todo muy rústico, interesante para pasar una noche.

It’s a simple accommodation but you have everything you need. Every hut has a fan and a mosquito net over the bed. There is a cozy common area to hang out. Annie is such a lovely person and will help you with everything you need and you can ask her everything. She also cooks a really tasty breakfast. We were supposed to stay for two nights but ended up staying 5 nights because we liked it so much. Thank you so much for having us Annie

Annie was so welcoming and hospitable. She helped me set up my sim card and booked my tuktuk for the airport the next morning. As for the rooms - they are lovely, simple and comfortable. It is 10 minutes from the airport and Lio beach, really good location.

Cerca una playa con buenos restaurantes alli. Lo unico el camino si se hace de noche hay una parte muy oscura si quieres evitar la carretera. Se podia alquilar alli moto.

Habitacion con clavos salidos en el suelo, no habia seguridad en la puerta (solo si usas tu candado), agujeros en el suelo, ducha no es que no saliera presion es que perdia agua por el grifo de abajo (se puede solucionar con una llave inglesa), los baños lejos de la habitacion caminando por zona selvatica (el camino estaba iluminado), toallas muy viejas con hilos y la dueña estaba desmotivada.... Trabajaba sin ganas... Se sento con nosotros el ultimo dia, pero nos parecio que era mas para justicar el estado del alojamiento y su actitud....Independientemente de cómo te sientas tú, hay que intentar dar lo mejor y creo que ni el alojamiento ni ella cumplia el minimo. No se podia comer o cenar en el alojamiento (eramos los unicos huespedes).

De hostess was heel erg aardig en de omgeving was heel erg mooi. Het bed lag enorm lekker met goede kussens.

Bardzo pomocna, konkretna i sympatyczna właścicielka Annie, o 7 rano zamówiła nam wycieczkę na 9 tego samego dnia, negocjowała w naszym imieniu cenę, dziecko gratis; bardzo smaczne śniadanie, pierwsze miejsce, gdzie możesz napić się herbaty; mimo, że nie ma tego w ofercie, gotowaliśmy kalmary na swojej kuchence, gospodarze udostępnili nam zlew i naczynia, segregują śmieci, była opcja wyrzucenia kompostu, piękny tropikalny ogród, czysto, czuliśmy się swobodnie, do późna siedzieliśmy w przestrzeni wspólnej. Na koniec zostawiliśmy pranie i Annie pomogła nam je odzyskać w Roxie za pośrednictwem kierowcy, za co bardzo serdecznie dziękujemy. PS widzieliśmy gekona toke w kuchni i słyszeliśmy, piękny niebieski w kropki

Może przydałby się kran na zewnątrz w ogrodzie i haczyki do wieszania rzeczy w domkach?

La atención fue buenísima y super amable, nos guardaron el equipaje 2 días sin problema. El lugar es realmente hermoso, rodeado de plantas y las cabañas son muy bonitas, todo muy bien mantenido y lindo. Tanto la cabaña como los baños y duchas limpio.

En cuanto al descanso, se nos hizo muy difícil, no pudimos dormir cómodos a causa de los mosquitos porque el toldillo estaba muy roto y los bichos, que es normal encontrarlos en este tipo de entorno, se entraban y nos picaron mucho a pesar del repelente. Por otro lado hacía muchísimo calor, si bien la cabaña tenía ventilador, algo pasaba con el que no tenía aire suficiente y era como si estuviera apagado, teniendo varias veces que levantarnos por el calor para ir a refrescarnos al baño. También las sabanas no eran a acordes a la cama. La de abajo se salía permanentemente y uno queda durmiendo en el colchón que al ser de poliester da aun mas calor. La de arriba no era posible usarla ambos por ser muy chiquita, nos queríamos tapar para que nos dejaran de picar los mosquitos y tampoco fue posible. Elegimos este alojamiento para poder descansar y estar cerca del aeropuerto porque saliamos 5am pero descansar no pudimos.

As much as we paid - that's what we got. An excellent host - she goes out of her way to help us rent a scooter, she organized transportation to the airport. The breakfast is excellent, as is the home-grown fruit. It was too hot in the room, but they announced the renovation.

It has a nice touch of the local atmosphere and nature side while offering a comfortable stay! The staff are lovely and helped us with anything we needed!

Le personnel, le petit déjeuner, le rapport qualité prix.

La chambre a beaucoup de poussières mais elle est dehors...

The host was exceptional and kind

The staff/family are so kind and helpful. The communication was so clear and they were so so lovely, made me feel very safe.

Be prepared for lots of bugs and bees haha but it is due to gorgeous scenery and plants. Nothing bad to say about this. Annie and David are the best!

The owner is the sweetest, she always arranged for us when we had problems or wanted to extend. One night the electricity was cut (in the whole city) and she insisted in offering us the night for free. The garden is beautiful, the breakfast is simple but we had daily fresh fruits, the people here are open minded, the pillows were so confortable, and its surprisingly quiet at night (when there is no power cut). We felt very welcomed in their little family.

For us, everything was fine but you should not expect more from this than what it is: Little bamboo huts that don't have the most comfortable beds with a mosquito net, light and fan. The hut is not perfectly sealed so there can be insects and some moisture if it rains. There are shared bathrooms with simple local showers that don't have a lot of pressure and you have to walk a bit to get there. Bottom line: It feels a lot like camping with extra comfort. Just don't expect a hotel room which would be much more expensive in El Nido. We decided to stay and ended up loving our stay. The owner even offered us a better price when we wanted to extend because of the previous power outage. If you are open minded and come with low expectation, you will love your stay 😊

Annie was the absolute best host, she would do anything for her guests. The property is beautiful too

Could be a bit closer to town

Nice stay for the night before my early flight. Staff were friendly and organised a tuk tuk to the airport nearby. Everything clean and comfortable.

The staff are incredibly welcoming and will help you with anything you need, from tours, scooter rental, to giving recommendations. There is a unique charm.

The property is a little dated in comparison to the photos. The actual accommodation is great, but it does feel like it needs a bit of repair.

The property was in a beautiful garden with lots of tropical plants

Nice little cabins out of the main touristy area of el nido, rent a bike and you can be in the town in a few minutes. The family are super friendly, giving us free fruit and tips on things to do and places to eat, they also have a very cute puppy

Cabins may be a little small for some with lots of luggage

Amazing place and amazing host. Really helpful in all aspects.

Very nice stay with such nice owner! It was like feeling welcomed like home far away from home. Possible to rent scooter, book tours, nice breakfast!

Just be aware that it's a basic accommodation in the nature!

Absolutely amazing place. Nature next to you. If you enjoy spending time in nature, don’t hesitate and plan your accomodation there. Owners treat u like a friend not client. Beautiful people. Breakfast tasty and with smile. Brilliant for me

Nothing to say about it

Great value for money. Comfortable, simple rooms. Really lush, garden setting. Lovely animals too ❤️

Showers had very very low water pressure. A little bit noisy next to some side roads in the morning but can't really be helped!

Annie is so Nice and helpful, the food was really good and generous. Our boat trip with Christine was wonderful

Beautiful stay away from the main part of El Nido. Annie and her family were amazing people and made our stay memorable. A short walk to local shops and restaurants as well as Lio Beach being nearby which was a highlight. Would recommend staying here for a unique backpacking experience. Great value for money and would definitely recommend booking all trips with Annie!!

The laid-back Banana Grove was a really pleasant stay! Ani was so accommodating, kind, and helpful! She went above and beyond, providing so many comforts, as I was battling an illness. They gave us so much information on what to do around El Nido and helped us plan everything, from boat tours to ferry's to other islands. The food is incredible and probably the best local food we've tasted in the Philippines!

We loved our stay at Banana Grove - our standalone hut was cool in the night, had everything we needed included a mosquito net and was only a short journey into El Nido. Breakfast every morning was brilliant with a choice of multiple options, but the best part of our stay was the owner - Annie. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, sorted everything we needed to properly see El Nido and travel onwards plus was really helpful with recommendations. If we return to El Nido, this will be the first place we’d book in to stay again!

Nothing!

The nicest people ever! It’s not an host, they are family to me! Supergood breakfast, best advices for tours and places, always helping people! I definitely want to come back!

The location is peaceful, quiet and a 15 min walk away from one of el nido's beautiful beaches. The best part of our stay was the wonderful hosts and their awesome families and friends. If you are looking for a warm and welcoming place in the middle of banana trees, super friendly and fun local people, that's the one. Thank you guys again for the wonderful stay!

Very nice host and location

Nothing
