Hardin De Marbella

Basic, maar lieve mensen. Vlakbij het vliegveld en prima voor een paar nachtjes. Ze hebben scooters te huur!

Cheche (the receptionist) was very helpful. She helped us orginise the tour we wanted, booked us tuk-tuk on a daily basis and she was very kind and very pleasant. The family who owns this resort are lovely people.

Overall it was a pleasant experience. The only downside was that sunlight gets in the room early on. It would benefit from blackout curtains.

Amazing stay, the hosts are lovely and organized tuktuks and tours for us. They also have scooter rentals available. The place is quiet, for countryside Philippines sounds (chickens, dogs, far away karaoke) it's very peaceful. The location is not too far from Lio beach, which was pur favorite beach of our stay (big, not crowded, many great restaurants, beautiful sunsets) From Lio you have free shuttle bus every hour going to El Nido town center, which was super convenient and always on time

We needed 2 tuktuks to move anywhere, as my parents don't drive scooters and we can't fit 4 people in 1 tuktuk (we can on other islands) ended up spending over 100€ in a week just for tuktuks... (lowest fare is 300PHP per tuktuk one way). So to consider if you're a family and can't rent scooters

Amazing location, away from the crowd but within close proximity of everything you want & need. Great hosts as well.

Really comfortable and cosy rooms, stayed for 4 nights and had a lovely stay! Breakfast was included and was really nice there were a few options including both sweet and savoury. Highlight is the staff they were so friendly and organised a tuk tuk to the airport at 5am which was prompt and they were also up to wave us off! Highly recommended.

Location is a tuktuk ride away from places, only a few insects in the room but it’s a very peaceful place.

L'accueil des propriétaires, les jardins et le calme. La proximité avec Lio beach (5 min en scooter) Petit déjeuner light mais bon Compter environ 12 minutes pour aller dans le centre de El Nido en Scooter.

Endroit très bien et super mignon. À l’écart de la ville donc très calme. Cheche à été au petit soin avec nous et vraiment super gentille !!

Wifi pas très bon.

The unique style and comfortable quality of the inside of the home was amazing. I loved the experience so much.

I didn’t like that there wasn’t a small pool onsite.

Was perfect for our family, clean, delicious breakfast, great service and very friendly staff.

Petite cabine très agréable et confortable ! C’était très propre et bien aménagé. Le petit déjeuner était excellent. Le personnel était incroyable et aux petits soins. Nous avons eu le droit à une petite attention car nous fêtions nos 1 an de mariage et nous avons vraiment appréciées. Un grand merci à l’hôte, ce séjour fut superbe !

Rien, tout était très bien mais il faut noter qu’il faut se déplacer pour manger le midi et le soir et qu’il y a une dizaine de minutes pour rejoindre le premier restaurant.

Überaus freundliches Personal, sehr zuvorkommend und unterstützend! Das schöne Ambiente, sowohl in den Cabins als auch auf dem ganzen Grundstück. Man fühlte sich direkt wohl. Der Essens- und Außenbereich mit den Hängematten ist sehr schön! Die ganze Natur ist ein Traum - viel grün, idyllisches Zirpen und und und!

Amazing!!!

Principalmente la amabilidad del personal de Karla y su familia que ha tratado de ayudarnos en todo . Las cabañas son cómodas , limpias , y espaciosas . Es ideal para familias . Hotel apartado de todo el bullicio de El Nido.

En general me gustó todo .

Breakfast was good, really quiet (even though it is close to the airport), the crew are nice and helping. The room is tidy Can rent a bike, very helpful!! TukTuk service if needed after check out.

About the room - we had a bug problem, but the crew helped us immediately. A bit far from everything Water pressure in the shower is weak No room service

An unforgettable stay in one of El Nido’s most underrated areas. This family-run property felt like home from the moment we arrived, Carla and the team were incredibly welcoming. We loved the thoughtfully designed spaces around the property, especially the common area where fresh, made-to-order breakfast was served each morning. Lio Beach is about a 25-minute walk away and offers one of the best sunsets I’ve seen on my travels. El Nido town is also just a quick 10 to 15 minute tricycle ride away. Easily one of the highlights of our Philippines trip, we felt warmly welcomed and genuinely looked after throughout our stay. We’d book Hardin De Marbella again without hesitation.

Rodzinna atmosfera, przemili właściciele. Nawet w dniu wyjazdu, mimo tego że musiałyśmy zrobić check-out, właściciele pozwolili nam późnym wieczorem wziąć kąpiel przed drogą powrotną, nawet dostałyśmy świeże ręczniki i środki do mycia.

Nic

Beautiful garden with nice rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff/owners, who aided us a lot in getting around El Nido. Nice breakfast in quiet surroundings.

Locația arată foarte bine. Personalul a fost excelent și ne-a ajutat tot timpul când am avut nevoie. Am avut toate facilitățile.

Les chambres sont originales et agréables, climatisation !

Odeur parfois nauséabonde, emplacement loin du centre ville, il vous faut un scooter

The property is a 10 min tuktuk drive from el Nido town so it was very quiet and peaceful. The property is well kept and the breakfast each morning was fabulous. The staff were so kind and helpful. They answered every question we had and gave us tips on which beaches were best to visit.

The shower pressure was quite low and an additional shelf or low table in the room to put our luggage on would helpful.

The Hotel is run by a very nice family with great manners. They treat you very nicely and provide all kinds of assistance. The room is very clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious with a nice terrace overlooking a beautiful garden. Waking up in the morning and having a cup of coffee/tea while enjoying the nature was a big plus. There is also a wonderful common area which provides a relaxed atmosphere. The Tricycle takes about 15 minutes to or back from town (El Nido) and is easy to find or arranged by hotel and this was very convenient.

Rustige plaats, niet ver van Lio beach. Heel aardig personeel, ze helpen je met vervoer regelen en we hebben hier ook onze was aan een goede prijs zeer snel kunnen laten doen.

De deur heeft een kleine opening waardoor insecten binnen kunnen, dit vonden we minder fijn.

Très jolie logements confortables avec tout équipement Calme ++ Le personnel est une famille qui s’est plié en 4 pour répondre à toute nos demandes. Pizza tard le soir, petit dej fait maison, programmation des tours, location voiture. Ils ont été au petits soins hyper agréable et ça fait plaisir de faire travailler une petite famille

On ne peut pas aller dans le centre à pied mais ce n’est pas très loin en tuk tuk ou scooter. Ça permet d’être au calme donc finalement pas si négatif

Wszystko

Alles sehr sauber. Ein kleines Paradies etwas abseits von El Nido.

Сразу отмечу очень приветливый и милый персонал - помогали по всем вопросам, даже не связанным с проживанием) Например, купил свежую рыбу на рынке, мне ее почистили и приготовили даже не взяв деньги. Сами домики очень уютные и комфортные, кровать и матрас очень удобные. Все чистое, душ, горячая вода, хороший напор воды, тихий кондиционер - все необходимое присутствует. А также сушилка для мокрой одежды очень кстати) До центра города минут 10 на байке (у них же можно и арендовать). Огромное преимущество этого места - это тишина. За 10 минут прогулки по центру Эль Нидо вечером голова идет кругом. А тут действительно отдыхаешь от утомительных экскурсий и шума. Еще и собственный дворик где приятно посидеть вечером с винишком)

Все отлично!

Les petits déjeuner

El Nido will always hold a special place in my heart, but we had a fantastic stay at Hardin de Marbella with my family!. A huge thank you to Carla and Chi Chi for your warmth and helpfulness. You guys truly made our time memorable and enjoyable!

Cannot say enough great things about this place. We've been to 4 other places in the Philippines on our trip and this one was our favorite. Staff is very friendly and helpful and our accommodation had everything we needed (a/c, comfy bed & pillows, good size bathroom with hot water, etc.). We also enjoyed the 2 family dogs, Basil and Bacon 😊. We wanted something located a bit out of the town and this was perfect. We rented a scooter for the 3 days we spent there and were able to travel to town as we pleased (they offered rental right there). Would definitely recommended!

Nothing, everything was excellent!

El trato de Karla y sus compañeras muy bueno. Los perros de la propiedad muy bonitos y cariñosos

La cama en el suelo, la cabina pequeña y sin armario, no tuvimos agua caliente los dos primeros días, el desayuno una tortilla dos rebanadas de pan y un plátano mi pareja no puede comer huevo ni pan y le pusieron un plato de fruta, a nosotros no nos paso pero se queda sin luz.relacion calidad precio viendo las instalaciones y los servicios cara. En fin la crítica es directamente para Booking donde ves unas fotos y una nota que no se corresponde con la realidad y una vez que pagas el alojamiento ya no tienes nada que hacer, triste que una web como Booking no compruebe la calidad de lo que ofrece, me hace dudar de sus notas y que todo sea un engaño.

I really liked the environment and tranquility that surrounded this accommodation, it felt like true getaway. The breakfast that was cooked each day by the staff was so fresh and healthy, and something I always looked forward to each morning.

Even though the mattress we slept on was very comfy, I would have preferred to be sleeping on a bed frame, however i am aware this couldn't be helped due to the height of the room.

Everything 😀

La propreté et la sympathie des personnes

Rien

Todo fue excelente. La ubicación, el trato del personal, el desayuno... Nos sentimos muy cómodos.

Great breakfast! Location a quick tuktuk from main beaches, and hosts can help arrange the tuktuks or other transit. The only inconvenience was a minor brownout beyond their control. The owners are very kind, helpful, and even afforded us a free late check out.

Not much, looks nicer on the pictures

Terrible area, mice and rats in between roof and ceiling. During night you here them.

L’accueil et la gentillesse des hôtes, l’aide pour les transferts, la possibilité de louer un scooter sur place. Chambre bien propre, grande salle de bain et climatisation.

Pas grand chose.. peut être un peu loin du centre ville. Eau froide pour la douche mais ok avec la chaleur.

Hosts were incredible

Slightly out of town but turned to realise that was a great thing

Tutto

Acqua fredda, ma nulla di drammatico

The staff was incredibly attentive and it is a very nice tree place and the feeling of being in nature was very positive. With a scooter everything is reachable very easily and is pretty close to el nido tongo for dinner and a night wondering.

Place is very cozy

Personnel accueillant et à l’écoute, l’emplacement est sympa aussi, loin de la foule du centre ville mais faites attention il y a pas mal de soirée karaoke chez les voisins 😂

L’absence d’eau chaude n’était pas mentionnée préalablement dans l’annonce, l’eau de la douche remplissait toute la salle de bain suite à l’absence de rideau. La chambre est super petite aussi, les valises ont rempli la moitié de l’espace disponible. Il serait aussi recommandé de vérifier l’état des motos, la notre avait un support de téléphone défaillant et une lumière presque inexistante.

The staff was amazingly helpful throughout the stay, going above and beyond for us as we were sick. The site has nicely curated gardens and is very peaceful. The accommodation was nice and clean.

Cozy nice cute place

No hot water :(

The personal family touches and the communal space

Me hablo para cancelar la reserva ya que tenian problemas con el tifon, a lo que claramente dije que si. Pero luego veo que la reserva en booking se mantiene y la suben de precio

Struttura nuova e veramente carina immersa nel verde. Staff gentile.

Non c’è modo di oscurare la camera per cui se siete sensibili alla luce del mattino non dimenticate la mascherina. Inoltre non c’è acqua calda ma è tiepida.

The place is at a wonderful location on the country side, you have peace from El Nido croud. The staff is amazing, very nice and ready to help.

The location is in the middle of nowhere, so if you need to go to El Nido or at Lio Beach you will need either a tuktuk or a scooter. We didn’t mind that though.

We are in love with that place. It's beautiful and relaxing, the room was comfy, and the breakfast was tasty. 10 min to the center which makes it perfect if you want to avoid the noisy center and sleep properly but what really makes special that place is the staff they are a family and they are all amazing and kind and helpful there are also loving dogs and chicken and if you have the time make sure to talk with the owner and founder she has loads of amazing stories and it's absolutely crazy how smart and kind that woman is. we are definitely coming back.

Estaba alejado, pero muy tranquilo y te daban tu espacio y te ayudaban si lo necesitabas

La entrada era horrorosa, por culpa de las lluvias, pero obviamente no es culpa suya

Las casitas son pequeñas pero agradables. Tienen lo básico. La cama es cómoda a ras del suelo y el aire acondicionado va bien. La ducha bien, lo único la temperatura del agua no es regulable, y estaba un poco fresquilla. Los desayunos bien. En cuanto a la ubicación está apartada de el nido town (10 min) y se requiere moto, pero nosotros preferíamos estar lejos del bullicio . Las trabajadoras son muy agradables y Alex la niña es adorable.

De accommodatie was prachtig! De locatie is echt super mooi, super relaxt. Je zit precies tussen 2 grote plekken in dus als je de tuktuk pak ben je overal erg snel. De familie zelf was ook fantastisch. Super warm ontvangen en ze denken graag met je mee. Ook de ontbijtjes waren heerlijk. Al met al een super fijn verblijf gehad met onwijs lieve mensen.

Clean and quiet. Good hosts. Near Lio beach which is by far the best are of el nido.

The huts need some hooks to hang your stuff and keep off the floor. No place to put luggage or hang clothing. But this is minor, as it’s good value for money and very clean.

Une adorable petite famille vous accueille les bras ouverts ! Ils sont littéralement aux petits soins, toujours attentifs et réactifs. Ils se sont parfaitement adaptés à toutes nos demandes. Je recommande vivement !

Avoir une douche chaude serait un plus.

La persona encargada del recinto nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos, siendo muy cálida en el trato y atenta en nuestras necesidades. Repetiríamos 100%.

Super beautiful property and very accommodating. The staff were very nice and welcoming. We stayed the night as our flight was cancelled and loved our stay here!

El increíble trato de Carla y su familia, nos han ayudado con todo a pesar de tener varias cancelaciones en cuanto al transporte debido a problemas meteorológicos.

Very peaceful..

Only problem is the wifi connection. No signal in our room.

This was my first stay while travelling the Philippines and I was so lucky. First impressions last and it gave me the most wonderful impression of the Philippines and the warm culture of the people. They really do treat guests like family, so warm and friendly. Super helpful with tourist info and organising tours etc. they are in the process of further developing and improving the place so I’m excited to see what they will do as it’s already such a great little gem. A little out of town and a quiet environment so don’t expect a party vibe. Moped rental from them is cheap or tricycle/taxis are well priced.

Nothing. Adored this place.

Family run site and they did everything to make my stay go well. They went to the pharmacy when I got bitten by sand flies , arranged Tuk Tuk rides and island tours, told me what was on offer locally. Included breakfast was great- 3 massive pancakes and banana. Room was clean and had good AC but also a fan and lights which worked if there was a power cut ( which happened a few times when I was there). Bathroom was basic but newish and clean. Close to Lío beach and the restaurant complex there.

The location was further away from El Nido town than I expected which added to daily cost as the tours would not pick up at the hotel. No fridge in the room ( although the hotel allowed me to put things in theirs on request)

Cozy home stay , good amenities . Fantastic owners every time we wanted something always there to assist us . They rent us motorbike in very good price . Near the north beaches of the island like Leo beach . About 5-7 minutes from city center with motorbike. Nice breakfast to start your day !

Nothing . Some insects but you are in the middle of the jungle so no worries . Also a little bit away from the center but with motorbikes isn’t a problem at all.

The hosts were very kind and did everything they could to help us and make our stay comfortable, including even a quick motorbike lesson before we hired scooters one day! We really enjoyed this location, being just a quick 10 minute drive from the centre of El Nido, but away from the noise and could really enjoy the island's atmosphere. You're also minutes away from Lio beach, and an easy drive from Nacpan - the most beautiful one in the area. The accommodation is simple, but provided all we needed for a few nights' stay.

.

All the staff was super nice, the rooms are very good and I liked especially the bathroom. A special mention to the very good breakfast

In one of the bed there wasn’t the bedsheet on top, so there was the one around the mattress and on top of that only a blanket, not very hygienic (we noticed it late at night and we didn’t go asking for one more bedsheet, I am sure that if we had done it they would have provide it)

Good value for money, nice location away from the busy streets. Clean

Host was lovely, location is 10mins away from el Nido town and 20mins from las cabanas beach, breakfast was nice

The design and the staff

it's a bit far from town but if you are looking for some peaceful place is perfect

Lovely family owned and run , it’s short ride on a scooter if you hire one from them or you can catch tuk tuk into el nido. We would def go back here

Towels are very weird , micro fibre feel nice but don’t dry body properly . Need to change to normal everyday towels

superfriendly staff and lovely family atmosphere, they help you with everything you need, the huts are cosy and clean, I really felt very welcome and enjoyed my stay 🙃

In a nice location not too far from everything, staff were very kind and helpful. The property was modern and clean. Nice coffee and breakfast included. We really enjoyed our short stay at Hardin De Marbella.

Nothing really apart from you need to hire a bike or get a tricycle / transport to get around places but this was all readily available and very easy.

WOW! The accomodation itself is beautiful! The huts are well lit & equipped & the bathrooms are modern & clean. Great water pressure & nice fresh showers perfect to start or end the day. A wonderful hidden gem, only 15 minutes into El Nido via tricycle or 7 to the magical Lio Beach. An 8 minute walk to local eateries & a few to a pharmacy & local store if needed. The staff are magnificent, warm & inviting. The complimentary breakfast was delicious & teas, coffee & water always available. Travel was arranged, advice was given & we really felt at home. Thank you to this wonderful family & friend who made our stay magical (and the two chill doggies who greeted us daily).

We stayed with another couple in the family lodge, and really enjoyed our team. Carla and the team were absolutely wonderful and the property itself is beautiful. We loved that we were a bit further away from all the busyness and could just take a motorbike to the beach and town.

Nothing, our stay was lovely. Keep in mind that the complex is new and there are still small hiccups to overcome.

Kind hosts, lovely breakfast and cozy accommodation
