Mais quel havre de paix cet hotel! C'est une adresse merveilleuse : la vue des chambres est tellement belle et apaisante, à perte de vue sur l'horizon, que nous avions hâte de rentrer de la plage pour se mettre sur la terrasse et attendre le coucher de soleil. Les petits déjeuners font partie des meilleurs que nous ayons goutés pendant notre séjour. Et les restos sur la plage autour de l'hotel sont excellents ! Y aller les yeux fermés!
Sensational beachfront large room on the top floor - sunset 🌅 views spectacular!! From outdoor deck or inside floor to ceiling windows !! Walk down 3 steps onto long Corong Corong beach & minutes to many beachfront bars & restaurants ✅👌
Steep stairs between all 3 levels - not for frail or disabled.
Everything! The natural style combined with modern was terrific. The staff very friendly and accommodating. The pool area was very beautiful. Location was superb and we got answers to all our questions immediately.
Nothing
We liked everything! Everyone was very nice, helpful and accommodating.
Notre dernier stop au philippines et pas des moindres. Un petit établissement de 6 chambres. Un service et un respect du personnel incomparable. Nous avons adoré séjourner ici. L’hotel a une vue imprenable sur le sunset et un bar et une cuisine fabuleuse. Mention spéciale pour notre check out qui était très tot mais qu’ils ont assuré en nous prévoyant un van gratuit en plus d’un petit déjeuner à emporter. Une belle surprise et un service que l’on est pas prêtes d’oublier ! Merci!
El Nido is beautiful, and the resort's location does it justice. The photos are stunning, the rates reflect that, and the first impression delivers on the promise.
The room itself had issues that are hard to overlook at this price range: soundproofing is essentially non-existent, the door has visible cracks letting mosquitoes in freely, there is no mosquito net over the bed, Wi-Fi was completely non-functional throughout the stay, and the room had a persistent ant problem. Order room service or open a snack and within minutes you have company. The staff in the restaurant spent their time huddled by the kitchen gossiping among themselves, making you feel like an interruption rather than a guest arriving for breakfast. For what this resort charges per night, these are not minor oversights — they are a fundamental gap between what's being sold and what's being delivered. The bigger issue was this: personal clothing items went missing from our room after housekeeping. We raised it before checkout. The response from management was a dismissive "this has never happened before" — which is not an explanation, it's a deflection. No accountability, no attempt to make it right. My partner followed up in writing. He received a courteous reply promising an internal investigation. That was the last he ever heard from them. Two weeks, no update, no resolution. What stays with me isn't any single issue — it's the indifference. A good property doesn't need to be perfect; it needs to show it cares when something goes wrong. Frangipani El Nido showed me clearly that once you've checked out, you're no longer their concern. The price says luxury. The reality doesn't come close. There are other resorts in El Nido — I'd put your money there instead.
Staff very friendly, good location to go to El Nido town and Vanila beach, amazing views from the room, bar and restaurant, complimentary airport transfers, discount for boat trips with yachting club
Chairs at the restaurant were too low and were missing cushions to sit comfortably, room cleaning could be improved
Cibo buono e letto confortevole e staff gentile e disponibile
Odore sgradevole che proveniva dal bagno e aria condizionata che funzionava veramente poco, ho chiesto più volte quando rifacevano la camera di tenere l aria condizionata accesa per avere una temperatura decente in camera ma ogni volta la spegnevano e ho chiesto di sistemare l odore sgradevole che arrivava dal bagno ma non è stato fatto
That said, I would like to reflect our overall experience with Frangipani. Mr. Ferrante and Ms. Blando are dissatisfied with their stay, as the level of efficiency and hospitality fell below expectations. While I understand the importance of payment, it was not appropriate to contact the client late at night regarding this matter, especially when I had been trying numerous times before the stay to reach your team to confirm the tour and the airport transfer arrangements. Unfortunately, the hotel still made an error with the airport drop-off time. Taken together, these issues have left the impression that the hotel is unreliable in terms of guest service and hospitality, while being quick to pursue payment from its guests only.
I really loved the view from the apartment. The large windows and floor-to-ceiling glass, along with the spacious terrace, make it a place where you can truly enjoy the view — especially at sunset
The beach is unfortunately not very pleasant. During low tide seaweed appears, so swimming is not really possible. Although the hotel has direct beach access, the beach itself is not very usable. The sunset and views are beautiful, but the beach experience is limited. For some reason, the air conditioning was often turned off during housekeeping or while we were out, so the room would get very hot by the time we returned. It made the stay a bit uncomfortable at times. The staff were generally decent.
Apusurile si cocktailurile.
Camera avea miros de igrasie. Toaleta se înfundă chiar daca respecți regulile.
Le personnel est au petit soin, l'accueil est génial et l'hôtel est en front de mer ce qui est top !
La wifi est un peu instable
Location, facilities
Staff disinterested
Localisation proche du village El Nido en scooter ( loueur très bien plus haut à 100 m) La chambre dernière étage superbe spacieuse vue sur baie des Bacuits Personnel très gentil et serviable. Bon petit déjeuner, dommage qu’il faille choisir entre le café et le jus de fruit. Mais capsules de café renouvelées chaque jour dans la chambre. Très agréable. Sortie privée en speedboat organisée par l’hôtel était incroyable grâce a une excellente organisation et un personnel compétent et très attentionné 🙏 Bar très sympa surtout au coucher du soleil ou l’on peut grignoter le Republica à 20 m le long de la route au dessus de l’hôtel
Les chaises de la salle de restaurant face a la mer sont trop basses par rapport à la table. Pas confortable Mobilier de la terrasse de la chambre pas nettoyé
Lo stile, la terrazza con vista e la gentilezza del personale sempre sorridente e pronto a soddisfare le nostre richieste
Poco insonorizzzato e nella sala colazione, troppa aria condizionata.
La vue de la suite 301 est incroyable
Chambre pas propre , de nombreuses traces sur les draps, douches sans pression avec beaucoup de calcaire, serviettes de toilette avec des tâches, 1 seul peignoir pour une suite de 4 personnes, et lorsqu’on le fait remarquer au personnel ils nous répondent qu’ils en ont plus ! Petit déjeuner bon mais très très long et pas service en même temps que la deuxieme personne.
Quiet room as we were down stairs next to the pool. Very helpful staff.
The property was dangerous because the wooden floorboards in the reception were rotten. My husband’s foot went through a floor board and staff simply put a plant on top of the hole. I sent a message to the manager three times about this and she couldn’t be bothered to reply to me and still hasn’t. Thankfully he wasn’t hurt. Also on Booking. Com it says this is an adults only hotel but there were children there. Finally, with the breakfast you could have coffee or fruit juice not both- what sort of hotel is so mean about breakfast drinks?
Schönes Boutique Hotel in Bestlage, sehr schöner Ausblick , sehr nettes Personal , super Essen
Amazing views, good food and drinks, quiet area and easily accessible to the sea.
Sea is too low for a swim; the restaurant had no options for breakfast (no butter, no fruits); Lack of supplies. Personal was nice but often unable to provide help (not even hairdryer). For this price, much better service is expected!
La déco , la vue de la chambre (no 202), sa grandeur et l’extrême gentillesse du personnel qui est vraiment à vos petits soins, bravo
Cet hôtel est coincé entre la route et la plage dans un endroit étroit ce qui fait que c’est très très bruyant le jour, on entend très fort le bruit de la route. Il n’y a aucun rangement dans la chambre, rien pour vraiment défaire votre valise. Nous faire payer 4 euros pour un verre à eau cassé, on trouve cela mesquin pour ce type de standing.
Perfect place to watch the sunset and right on the beach. Staff were lovely and so accommodating. Rooms were big and the drive into town was so quick and convenient with tuk-tuks.
Breakfast was lovely, but other food was average.
Really nice hotel. Room was 10 steps from the beach. Helped us organise boat trips, transfers, everything. Very kind staff and room was lovely
Breakfast was a little hit and miss
Dobrá lokalita, ne úplně v centru. Hotel hezky vybavený a obklopený zelení. Rychlý check-in i check-out. Možnost uschování zavazadel.
Hrozný způsob servírování a vlastně i výběr snídaní. Na výběr je omezený počet balíčků (kontinentální,…), ale dostanete pouze omezený množství jídla. Pití máte k dispozici jedno, tzn. že když si dáte kávu, tak džus nebo cokoliv jiného už je za příplatek. Nejvíc zarážející je ale rychlost servírování.. na snídani jsme čekali vždycky minimálně 40 min, jednou jsem čekal na snídani hodinu! Pití vám přinesou za půl hoďky od objednání. Počítejte na snídani tak s minimálně hodinovou rezervou… Je rovněž škoda, že se neuklízí pláž..
The place and Very kind and accommodating staff, attentive to every need
La struttura in generale è bella ed è fronte spiaggia, ma non hanno i lettini o non ce la possibilità di farsi il bagno (bassa marea durante le ore diurne). Cucina ottima, ma molto lenta. Molto. Personale in generale molto gentile.
Inizio dicendo che la struttura non vale i soldi che chiede. La pulizia non è il top. La piscina (piccola) non veniva pulita con depuratori. Sembrava solo estetica. I bagni sono abbastanza trasandati per una struttura che chiede questi soldi. Inoltre per sfortuna ci è scivolato un loro dispenser per le mani in vetro (non erano attaccati da nessuna parte, potevi prenderli in mano), nel lavandino, rompendo la ceramica. Ci hanno chiesto una cifra spropositata per il prezzo del lavandino (che nuovo comunque non era). Ultima nota, abbiamo sentito durante l’ultima notte rumori strani provenire dal soffitto in cartongesso. Sono quasi certo si trattasse di un roditore dai passettini continui e dagli lamentele del roditore.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable The hotel has a nice design and lots of potential Nice view on the sea The staff is friendly
The hotel is on the beach but there are no sunbeds, neither at the pool and no beach towels so it’s difficult to relax There is a bar area with a nice view on the sea . They say it’s open until 10pm but every time we went it was closed so we couldn’t enjoy
הצוות היה נהדר, אדיב ומסביר פנים. החדרים היו מאוד מרווחים ונקיים, והנוף מקסים – ממש הפתעה לטובה ביחס לציפיות מהמלון. היה מים חמים לאורך כל השהות, וכמות מספקת של מוצרי היגיינה. בנוסף, קיבלנו בקבוקי מים, ואפילו דאגו לנו לסנדוויצ’ים ולמים כשיצאנו לשדה התעופה – מחווה מאוד נחמדה ולא מובנת מאליה. בסך הכול מדובר במלון בוטיקי, חמים ומזמין, עם תחושה ביתית ונעימה.
הייתה בעיה מסוימת עם הדלת, אך בסופו של דבר זה לא פגע משמעותית בשהות. המלון לא ממש קרוב למרכז, אבל נסיעה קצרה של כמה דקות בטוקטוק פותרת את זה בקלות.
O staff foi muito simpático e prestável. A localização é afastada do centro confuso de el nido e mesmo junto à praia, o que para nós foi perfeito. O pequeno almoço também era bastante bom.
O nosso quarto tinha um ligeiro cheio a humidade, nada de muito notório e normal dado o clima das Filipinas mas algo que talvez possa ser melhorado no futuro.
View, size of the room, food
Very humid, dated room, non experienced staff, have to pay for extra bread etc
The whole experience felt incredibly intimate, from pick up to drop off. They had water ready for us when we got picked up and even prepared a bagged lunch when we got dropped off. There were only a few rooms at the entire hotel so it was very quiet and peaceful. I loved just getting to walk a few feet to the bar and hang out there all sunset. The free plated breakfast had a lot of options and was delicious. I loved how the restaurant was enclosed so there weren't many bugs and it was much cooler, making my meals more enjoyable. The sea room views were incredibly spacious and clean. They provide free filtered water for guests. Plus the views were amazing in every room and common space. I would 100% return to this property and recommend it to anyone coming to El Nido!
The wifi was really slow in the rooms I received a message from the property that there was complimentary pick-up service available in the El Nido Lio Airport, El Nido Town area, and Vanilla Beach area. But the complimentary service was only for the airport. For other areas, they help hail a tricycle and you are required to pay the driver. I also did not get to use the stand-up paddleboard even though I asked to, so I'm not sure if they have it available.
The staffs were good
Beach is not good
Très bon emplacement. Très confortable++ Personnel au petit soin et les petits déjeuners sont tous excellents La vue est magnifique, les couchers de soleil sont magnifiques Je recommande
Hotel jest bardzo ładny. Ma malutki basenik i zejście na plażę. Bardzo ładne, czyste i wygodne pokoje.
Musiałam czekać na posprzątanie pokoju mimo przybycia po czasie deklarowanej możliwości zameldowania. Personel byl dość zakłopotany.
5/5 Stars. We had a fantastic stay. The hotel is lovely, but the staff is the real star. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and accommodating. We had a few special requests, and they handled everything seamlessly and cheerfully. They truly made us feel cared for. Highly recommend!
Location incantevole fronte mare,vista dalla finestra incredibile. Ristorante di qualità a prezzi corretti Shuttle gratuito per aereoporto Colazione al sacco se bisogna partire presto
il wi-fi non ha mai funzionato Pressione bassa dell’acqua nella doccia
מלון מקסים מיקום מצויין אנשים מיוחדים וטובים ממש דאגו לנו בהכל כל בקשה כל שאלה תמיד עזרו היה להם חשוב שיהיה לנו נוח לקחנו סירה פרטית והכינו לי ארוחת בוקר לדרך דאגו להסעה וגם להשכרת רכב ולכביסה
היו יתושים בגלל שהחדר שלי פונה לצמחיה ולבריכה והיה גשם זה היה לא נעים אבל מנהל המלון דאג לרסס היה כל כך אכפתי
Had an amazing view, staff were so helpful and friendly, food in the restaurant was nice and the included breakfast was tasty with a nice variety to choose from. Would definitely stay here if we come back to El Nido. Definitely the nicest place we stayed during our trip to the Philippines
Nothing, it was honestly so good!
Great location, removed from the chaos of El Nido town centre. The view from our bedroom was beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
NA
The view was unbelievable i had the top floor room The staff were very helpful and assisting with everything i booked through the hotel the island hopping tours and also rented a car, you ask and they will deliver The food was delicious I did enjoyed my stay The location from the city center is about 15 to 20 minutes walk and there are tuk tuks everywhere
The rooms are not sound proof you can hear the motorbikes crossing the street
Such a nice place to stay! Upon arrival the staff were super friendly and helpful, sorted out all our details very quickly. Room is very nice, spacious and well laid out. View over the water to the islands is beautiful. On leaving, we got complimentary transfer to the airport and some sandwiches and water to send us off. Thank you to all the staff at Frangipani, we had such a great stay!
Everything was great!
La situation sur la plage et le bar avec une magnifique vus sur le coucher de soleil
Les toilettes 1 peu bouchés dans notre salle de bain, mais une chambre agréable et cette vue magnifique Un peu trop de chiens errants sur la plage... Pas la faute de l'hôtel hélas
Hôtel quasi parfait, avec une vue magnifique du restaurant comme de la piscine. Restaurant de grande qualité. Mention spéciale pour le personnel très gentil et serviable, notamment celui de la réception.
Je cherche … piscine un peu petite j’imagine s’il y avait beaucoup de clients mais nous étions les seules à en profiter pour notre plus grand bonheur.
The view from the breakfast room over the beach and ocean was really pretty in the day time. Breakfast was nice (other than not having the first choice of breakfast available).
Despite arriving when the website said the hotel was open and food was available, and despite texting our arrival time (which they knew as they booked our transfer) and asking for food availability, when we arrived at 9.30pm there was no reception open and no food or drink available at all. We were shown to our room by security to find that the second bed had not been made up. After a few requests they did then bring some sheets but these were not clean with marks on them. The curtains didn't close properly, and the room was full of mosquitos. They provided a bug zapper which we had to use through the night. I was fully clothed and still got bitten. The bathroom smelled of mould. The pool was the smallest pool I had ever seen, it had no sun loungers, and the foliage was overgrown so no opportunity for sun even if there had been sun loungers. The pictures on the website are not what it looks like now. We left after one night and found a much better hotel, closer to El Nido that was significantly cheaper. I would not recommend this hotel.
We had an amazing stay at Frangipani - thank you Sheryl and team for making it extra special. Great location by Coron beach and only few minutes ride away from El Nido Centre, beautiful room & delicious breakfast / food. We also really enjoyed the pool area and the company of the four legged friends that belong to the hotel. We will be back :)
Nothing
Highly recommend. Professional, friendly and efficient staff. The restaurant serves some of the best seafood we’ve ever had! Everything is hand made and prepared. Attention to detail. Location was perfect for us , near El Nido Town and Vanilla Beach. Lots of things to do around. The sunset from our hotel room and restaurant Cala was breathtaking.
Nothing.
Location for restaurants,and tours around the bay
Plunge pool too small
Small hotel, included breakfast was nice.
Rooms were dark and smelt of damp. Didn’t have the boutique hotel feeling that was promoted. Restaurant was quiet and rooms were disappointing.
The hotel is very beautiful : tasteful decoration, direct access to the beach and view on the beach from our room. Eventhough the pool is small it was nice to swim in it and chill on the terrasse. The exceptionnal professionnalism and niceness of the staff made us want to stay longer. They had a lot of small attentions, made sure our every needs were answered, helped us organize transferts before our arrival and upon our departure. They even prepared complimentary little sandwiches the day we left, for our travel, which was such a nice gesture. Also the restaurant was excellent (probably the best place we ate during our whole stay). Many thanks !
The staff were great, really helpful and service exceptional. We took a scooter and it was easy to get everywhere.
It doesn’t really look like their social media, which is great storytelling. The rooms are a little tired, and the hotel is not located on a part of the beach you can swim.
Property was stunning! In a great location! The views are something that I’ll remember forever.
location was good, breakfast and food was nice, staff were accommodating
the shower didn't have adequate water pressure at some hours of the day, wanted to use the pool but it was in service though they adequately compensated us for the pool being under maintenance.
We chose the nicest room in the hotel, so the suite was pretty amazing! Huge windows from the bedroom, living room and even the shower. Very spacious and clean and the two bathrooms ended up being pretty useful. The staff were helpful and restaurant was a bit hit and miss but generally good.
Our room had a plug in perfume appliance which was so strong we were choking! We had to air out the room for an hour - however, the pillows and sheets were also cleaned a horribly strong perfumed detergent and we both struggled to sleep with it. Definitely the biggest downside and so avoidable - lots of people have allergies to these fragrances and are rarely used in Europe. The restaurant was really hit and miss. Some dishes were incredible and delicious with locally sourced fish etc. but other dishes were randomly not so well cooked and the local desert Halo Halo is to be avoided! Full of artificially coloured jellies and glacé cherry (apparently the glacé cherry is still very popular in the Philippines!!)
The food was excellent, made fresh to order. The staff was very attentive and nice. It is a cute boutique hotel on the beach.
Our room was exceptional, offering a panoramic view of the ocean and plenty of space. The staff was very accommodating, although there were a few hiccups in communication. Unfortunately, my son got food poisoning from a restaurant downtown, but when I asked the hotel to make chicken broth for him, they readily obliged without any hesitation. We didn't stay much at the hotel, and mostly got our swimming and all our adventures through the excursions.
The location is at Corong-Corong Beach, which is just a tricycle ride away from downtown El Nido and Vanilla Beach, the centers of local activity. If you're looking for nightlife and want to avoid constantly paying for tricycle rides to get meals, I recommend staying at a location closer to the town center. The breakfast was complimentary and quite good, but it was à la carte. This left my husband and older sons wanting more, as they were accustomed to breakfast buffets at larger hotels.
Like what happened to many others, Frangipani took our money and they never reimbursed us. I cannot believe the 5/5 comments here. They must have been paid to write them because the hotel isnt worth it. We ate at other restaurants and saw other hotels and we wished we stayed somewhere else. Karuna for example is amazing. Why would people stay at Frangipani??! Its disgusting and unethical. The whole hotel smelt MOLDY The rooms are NOISY as they are 10m from the road, full of ants in the room, the towels are not clean There are STREET DOGS ROAMING the hotel The POOL IS TINY, WITH CRACKED TILES that cut your feet The BEACH IS DIRTY and cant be swam in. The INTERNET DROPS OUT 10 TIMES A DAY The RESTERAUNT FOOD IS REALLY AVERAGE The LOCATION ISNT NEAR ANYWHERE PEOPLE WANT TO GO There was NO management at the hotel - Apparently they ‘run’ the hotel from Cebu !! no jokes. (what hotel has no manager!) On our last day my wife's shorts were torn from NAILS STICKING THROUGH THEIR POOL FURNITURE as well. When we asked for the hotel to compensate us for the shorts they declined to pay.
- The staff were all amazing and incredibly helpful, making the experience much more enjoyable. - The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a great environment to relax. - The sound of the waves at night was very soothing, contributing to a peaceful and restful sleep.
- The internet connection was very poor, which made it difficult to stay connected. - The towels and bathrobes were old, stained, and should definitely be replaced. - The pool was disappointingly small :( - There were no blackout curtains in the room, so as soon as the sun came up, the room became bright
The room was big and the staff polite. Pick up and drop off was well organized.
Breakfast was limited and minimal and anything extra had additional charge. The restaurant stink of fried and they wouldn’t open the windows. The room is big but no closet, extra pillow and some storage inside the bathroom. (No further explanations on this…) the shower didn’t have a lot of water and WiFi was bad. We booked the room with sea view but it was covered with trees, when we asked them to cut them it took 3 days to do it. We lost a card key and they charged us for the replacement!! Finally it sells as a beach hotel but the beach is shallow and unusable.
We had such high hopes for this boutique hotel - photos look incredible and the reviews were great. Sadly, these did not match the experience we had. This was our last stop in the Philippines and we have left raving reviews for all other accommodation!! On arrival the hotel offered a complimentary taxi service, which was booked weeks in advance. When we got to the airport, the van driver decided to instead take paying guests to another hotel, leaving us stuck at the airport. We phoned the hotel and they said we should wait for the next taxi, which arrived 40 minutes after the booked time! The hotel does have amazing views from the bar, restaurant and rooms however the hotel itself is tired and shabby with broken fixtures throughout, and construction materials tainting the look of the beach front (see photo). Staff weren’t particularly helpful - they didn’t acknowledge the long wait, and multiple requests were left ignored. For example, there is only one small chair on the balcony, when asking for another they said they would sort this and then we heard nothing else. The WiFi was also down on arrival and despite telling us they would let us know when it was back, we again never heard from them. We checked everyday and once it was working again, it didn’t actually cover the bedroom or restaurant, so could only be used in the small front office space. Whilst we thought this would be a small boutique hotel, the loud children at breakfast make it less enjoyable/romantic. Paired with an hour wait for food, it wasn’t the best start to the day, delaying our boat trip, however the breakfast itself was delicious! Wouldn’t recommend the nachos as a snack though - stale and cheap (see photo)!!! Given the price we paid, we have found much nicer and more affordable accommodation in the town centre, so would recommend looking around before booking!
Very attentive staff and beautiful location, the sunsets were SO amazing. We could hear the sea every night it was very soothing. The onsite Cala restaurant was also a great dinner option, probably one of the best at El Nido we've tried! Good mix of filo & other cuisines. The owner of the hotel also owns the El Nido Yachting Club (with Speedboat tours), and another hotel at Las Cabanas Beach, check with the staff they are able to arrange.
Due to the geography of the hotel location, wi-fi signal was very poor, this didn't work out for my friend who had to take some late work calls. Sometimes the breakfast options was quite oily.
Hotel Staff were very friendly and helpful! I love the Hotel furnishings!
One of the booked rooms had issues that took a while to be addressed by the property.
Friendly staff, helpful with transport, attentive and couteous. The quality of the staff and service really contributed to our overall experience. We enjoyed the availability of international tv app options. Room and bathroom size were generous, with very comfortable bedding.
The proximity to town. There was a lack of lighting and signage to allow easy locating of the hotel. The bar, kitchen, and swimming pool were smaller than expected- more like a botique style accomodation opposed to hotel standard, as represented on the website and by the pictures. The pictures of the beach were misleading. They were not a true representation. The cleanliness of the beach could be addressed to improve the standards.
The staff made it very easy for us to feel welcome, and were always accommodating. Good range of cocktails and breakfasts. Great views of the islands directly from the upstairs bar or the restaurant. Enough room to get massage beds in there too.
The Air Conditioner in the rooms could have been stronger, as it was a bit uncomfortable to sleep in during the heat. Also, the wifi could be a lot stronger too. It was difficult to get signal in the rooms (especially the bathroom where there was none) - I'd attribute it to the concrete walls.
Its small and right by the beach. Possible to book directly island trips thet pick you up from the beach. Beautiful sunset views.
Nothing really. If your ready to stay in a small place with 7 rooms and «butique» like feeling its all good.
I really love this property, with that nice cozy chill vibe, I love the decor with the distressed wood, natural, it's my kind of style. Our room was the only one with panoramic view and it was amazing to wake up to to every morning. I love the set up with the kids having their own room, bathroom and fridge with cute day bed. The main bedroom was very spacious, I mean the entire room was very roomy as well as bathrooms. And the view from the one bathroom was stunning. Food was delicious too, free breakfast was included. The property not too far from town. And the staff were super friendly. I would stay here again when I go back to El Nido. I definitely recommend this place.
I wish the bathroom with the view was designated for the masters bedroom. And I wished they had a little armoire for clothes, some rugs by the bed. The wifi was choppy and TV didn't connect properly so we couldn't use it. Pool a little too small.
Lovely decoration , cool vibe lovely sunset bar with amazing sunsets
Pool was too small to swim And had no sunbeds. Beach was unusable as small strip and too shallow to swim. Breakfast was restrictive and only one drink was included extras and refills were added to the bill
The service was really good. The staff are super welcoming and the hotel looks even better than the photo
Really poor WiFi And shower is always cold
I had the best hotel experience. The hotel was really cozy. Our room was amazing! It was spacious and it smells really good. It also has the best beachfront view especially during sunsets! Staff were also accommodating and made sure to cater all of our requests. 10/10 would recommend!
The small boutique size was perfect for our family. We had 15 people and the place to ourselves! The food was the best! And staff excellent.
The shower was lukewarm, rarely hot water
Love the intimacy, staff, food and accommodations. Would stay again.
Water temp was lukewarm. Rarely got hot water
The service at this hotel was excellent from the start. They reached out to arrange a (free) airport transfer a month in advance and were friendly about it. As soon as I was greeted at the airport they made me feel extremely welcome, it wasn’t just the polite service you normally get at the 5* hotels, the staff was just genuinely friendly and caring. I had an ocean view room (all rooms face the water) and it had a lovely view from the balcony. The 2 pool view rooms also had direct access to the pool which wasn’t ever used very much, so I can imagine that would be nice to almost have a private pool. The pool was small but decent sizes and deep considering you’ll probably be alone in it. The room was spacious and clean enough, and they cleaned it daily. Had some problems with the balcony door locking, but they fixed it right away both times. The shower head also had some issues, but I didn’t want to complain about everything. Breakfast was amazing, included in the room and cooked to order! Plus as a benefit, they would bring breakfast to your room if you wanted which was nice so you could eat it in the AC. On the downside, the room had a diffuser in it that they must be using to cover up a bad small, but it was extremely overwhelming - I turned it off as soon as I got in the room, but I could still smell it 4 days later. Not great for people sensitive to strong smells. The room could also have used some outlets that weee more accessible from the bed and/or USB outlets. Easy to get into town, about 10 minutes and 100php - but it was nice to be away from the town at night. On the downside, the road was pretty loud from my room and the curtains didn’t give you a full blackout. 24/7 security at the front desk. Week Wi-Fi, that didn’t do much. No cell service in the lobby, but I didn’t manage to get 2 bars in my room. The hotel seemed a bit more expensive than others in the region, but the service was good. I would return here if I came back to El Nido.
Staff friendliness, room, location, price. Staff were very friendly and helpful even prior to arriving at stay for special requests too. Would stay again!
