Les villas confortables avec une belle vue Le restaurant où l on a très bien mangé et l accueil et le service au top Bon rapport qualité prix
La hauteur avec les marches à monter un peu difficile en fin de journée ou en voiturette qui peinait un peu à monter elle aussi…
Вид отличный и тишина. Намного лучше чем любой городской отель.
Great welcome, amazing staff, beautiful view, spacious & clean room.
What a perfect little escape! Tucked away from the buzz of El Nido, yet close enough to visit whenever you want, this place was exactly what we were looking for. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is incredibly welcoming, the food is delicious, and the views are simply stunning. We’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting to unwind in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. The complimentary shuttle to Vanilla Beach / Las Cabañas Beach was also a huge plus.
Nothing, everything was amazing!
La vue, le personnel, la chambre, propreté, salle de bain, possibilité de réserver un scooter sur place (un peu plus cher qu'en ville)
La piscine le premier jour n'était pas très propre (eau un peu trouble) et l'eau était très irritante au bout de quelques minutes. Le lendemain, l'eau était complètement nettoyée. A voir si elle était en cours de nettoyage lorsque l'on s'est baignée la première fois.

Swimming pool too much Chlorine
Personnel super gentil ainsi que les proprios. Belle vue des environs.
Manque d'entretien de la piscine, pas assez d'eau et brouille. Les chambres sont dans l'escarpement, donc beaucoup de marches à monter et très abrutes.
Heel bijzonder uitzicht! Echt prachtig om zo te verblijven. Mooie kamers, je kunt bij het hotel ook heerlijk eten. En het personeel is enorm vriendelijk en staat altijd klaar om te helpen. De eigenaar heeft ons persoonlijk om half 5 's nachts naar het vliegveld gebracht!
Beautiful property in a peaceful location. Staff were super helpful and friendly and catered for our every need.
The location for us was fantastic but some people may not like the distance to El Nido. We hired a scooter for our stay which was organised by the staff.
Sehr schöne Aussicht vom Zimmer und vom Pool mit kleinem Restaurant. Essen war sehr gut. Super Koch. Cooler Gastgeber. Alles sauber
Sehr wenig vegetarische Gerichte. der Fisch im Aquarium tat uns leid
L'hôtel se trouve à l'extérieur d'El Nido, à environ 10' en scooter. Endroit parfait et calme à flanc de colline. Les chambres sont spacieuses et correspondent à la description. Les accès peuvent être difficiles pour les personnes à mobilité réduite. Le personnel est très accueillant, prêt à tout pour vous faciliter le séjour. Petit déjeuner excellent sur le rooftop de l'hôtel, tout comme la piscine. Endroit parfait pour se reposer en étant proche de la ville.
L'accès aux chambres fatiguant en fin de journée, mais un tuktuk peut vous accompagner jusqu'à la réception.
La vue depuis la piscine Le faite que se soit légèrement excentré Petit déjeuner bien servi
Qu'il n'y ai pas de parasol au dessus des bains de soleil, du coup impossible de s'allonger en journée car c'est en plein soleil
RC Villas is a gem that is tucked away from some of the crowds in the town proper and the beaches. The room was spacious and get a lot of value for the price point. The staff did a great job to provide conveniences to get around the resort given how the resort is designed. One of the best parts that deserves a mention is the restaurant at the resort and the cooks there. Had some of my best meals there, which was a pleasant surprise.
I wasn’t aware that would need to walk stairs to get around the resort. Not a big deal and the staff made getting around easier, particularly with luggage. Not a huge issue and the value of the resort makes it worth it, just something to be aware of.
Het is een super mooi accommodatie met prachtig uitzicht. Het personeel is geweldig en ze hebben een driver die je gratis naar Vanilla beach brengt. Voor ons was de locatie perfect. Dichtbij Vanilla beach, maar toch rustig. Met een tricycle ben je ook zo in het centrum.
Je moet een trap oplopen naar de accommodatie. De drivers kunnen je ook brengen als je wil, maar voor mensen met een beenblessure kan dit mogelijk een probleem zijn. Verder geen aanmerkingen op deze accommodatie!
Super clean, friendly staff, great location and free shuttle to the beach.

The staff was incredible and accommodating. Very welcoming and sweet. The view also was one of the best! The owner picked us up from the airport and gave a lot of good recommendations for food and excursions.
Uns hat es hier sehr gut gefallen. Sehr moderne und saubere Zimmer mit einem fantastischen Ausblick auf das Meer. Der Pool lädt zum verweilen ein und das Essen im Restaurant hat uns auch sehr gut geschmeckt. Es ist ein bisschen außerhalb, aber mit den TukTuks kommt man schnell von A nach B und das Hotel hilft einem auch eins zu finden. Außerdem gibt es einen kostenlosen Shuttle zum Vanilla Beach (nur Hinweg).
Nichts.
Personnel serviable et très réactif Piscine et restaurant avec vue imprenable Très bon restaurant / petit déjeuner Navette gratuite pour deux plages environnantes Location de scooter et service de lessive disponibles à des prix raisonnables
The staff were very helpful and considerate. They made us feel welcome from the start. Breakfast selection was great, and the views from the pool were second to none. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting El Nido and want to stay somewhere peaceful.
Piękny widok z tarasu Czysty apartament Cisza i spokój, z dala od głośnego i brudnego centrum Bliskość do plaży Vanilla Beach Miły personel Smaczne śniadania i Dania głowne w restauracji
Ciemna pościel zamiast białej
Excellent choix de logement à El Nido! Personnel très sympathique Cuisine au top Vue magnifique depuis le logement et le restaurant avec piscine Possibilité facile de louer des scooters avec l’établissement À seulement 10min de El Nido à scooter À recommander!!

View and food
Not friendly staff
Vue magnifique sur la mer Chambre spacieuse avec balcon Petit déjeuner à la carte bon et copieux Le personnel très aimable et serviable
La piscine minuscule avec 4 transats L’endroit très escarpé en surplomb de la route …bruyante …et loin de tout Heureusement une navette pour Vanilla beach est mise à disposition par l hotel Cher pour ce type d’établissement Aménagement un peu sommaire (matelas en mousse…)
Accogliente e camere nuove molto grandi. Fuori dal caos
La vue depuis la terrasse du restaurant Le petit déjeuner est correct mais simple Un membre du personnel est toujours disponible pour faire la navette
Nous avons réservé pour 5 nuits dans cet hôtel, pour un coût de 150€ la nuit soit 750€ au total, ce qui est un budget conséquent pour les Philippines. On s’attendait de fait à une prestation à la hauteur… Le constat est tout autre : Notre villa vue mer était accolée littéralement à une zone de travaux : derrière le mur de notre lit, des ouvriers travaillaient dès le petit matin avec perceuse et autres outils, et ont simplement mis comme séparation une grande bâche bleue pour que l’on ne voit pas directement (il y avait 2 mètres entre nos têtes et eux). Le bruit était très agaçant, et la vue bien gâchée. Nous avions pourtant demandé une villa au calme, ce à quoi l’hôtel nous a répondu que toutes les villas étaient indépendantes et non mitoyennes. Ok, alors comment expliquer qu’en plus, l’arrière de notre villa servait de buanderie pour le personnel de ménage… ce qui signifiait que quand nous étions dans la salle de bain, qui n’était pas isolée phoniquement, nous entendions leurs conversations et sûrement eux les nôtres… bref nous étions encerclés de toute part. Nous n’avons eu aucun service de ménage de tout le séjour, donc les serviettes n’ont jamais été changées et les poubelles débordaient. La chambre est très simple, sans style. Il n’y a qu’un drap dans le lit et pas de couette… pour la douche, il n’y a pas de pression du tout et on ne peut pas régler la température de l’eau. Les insectes ne nous ont pas dérangés, nous avions accepté cet aspect sans souci. Entre autres, l’accueil de l’hôtel donne l’impression d’un dépôt sans sérieux… impossibilité de payer par carte, service de navette annoncé puis finalement plus disponible, franchement nous avons trouvé que c’était presque amateur… Ce commentaire déteindra sûrement du reste, puisque nous avions choisi l’hôtel pour ces très bons retours. Néanmoins, il faut être honnête en admettant qu’il n’a rien d’un Resort et que les prix pratiqués sont totalement exagérés. Cela ne vaut pas plus que 50€ la nuit au maximum.
The view, the friendly, smiling and polite stuff, how quiet it was, the suite was spacious, exceptional!
A little bit far from the center
The view is great! Service was very friendly, helpful and professional. Structures are safe and sound, neat landscaping. The aircon is working perfectly and silently. Very clean and safe. Very Close to the vanilla beach, where we spent most of our time. There are stairs to the accommodation from the main road. If you are healthy, not a big deal and steps are safe and properly illuminated. They provide transport uphill with tricycle until late in the evening free of charge anytime, which is very much appreciated. Outside the tiring hustle and bustle of the El Nido centre, but also as close as 10 mins scooter/tricycle ride. Overall, i would stay there again when in El Nido.
Very friendly staff Food was delicious
Aussicht, Sauber und nette Mitarbeiter
Treppen steigen, Zimmer klein, Preisleistung
Отличные виллы с большими двухспальными кроватями, прекрасным видом и всем необходимым внутри. Максимально отзывчивый и дружелюбный персонал. Хороший ресторан для обеда и ужина. Есть возможность заказать комфортный трансфер из аэропорта и обратно (рекомендую). До пляжа Ванила Бич довозят на своем тук-туке. Предоставляют пляжные полотенца и воду. Помогают организовать туры на острова.
В качестве пожелания, немного разнообразить завтраки
Da unsre Expedition aufgrund von schlechtem Wetter erst einen Tag später starten konnte, brauchten wir für eine Nacht noch eine Unterkunft. Das Hotel war genau perfekt mit dem Pool. Personal sehr hilfsbereit & freundlich und das Essen war absolut lecker!
L’emplacement un peu écarté de la ville d’El Nido est idéal pour la tranquillité. Des navettes gratuites sont proposées par le personnel pour rejoindre Vanilla Beach (aller uniquement - approx. 5mn en tricycle et retour en tuk tuk à environ 150PHP) et pour monter et descendre les marches du bas du resort jusqu’à la réception. On peut aussi directement louer un scooter à la réception. La piscine en hauteur est superbe et offre une très belle vue. Le personnel est très gentil et accueillant. Les chambres sont très confortables et très bien agencées. Le petit déjeuner est très bon. Les excursions sur les îles peuvent se réserver directement à la réception avec leur partenaire (pick up gratuit, drop off en tuk tuk payant à 200PHP depuis Corong Corong).

The staff were very friendly and the rooms were very clean. The location outside of town is great for enjoying some nature without any noise.
For me, it was a plus, but the location is far from the main activities. To enjoy the experience, you need to rent a scooter, (very cheap and provided by the property) so you can get around autonomously.
Die Zimmer sind sehr groß, schön eingerichtet und bieten eine tolle Aussicht. Auch das Badezimmer ist großzügig und sehr angenehm. Das Essen im Restaurant war ausgezeichnet und wir waren mit der Qualität sehr zufrieden. Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb, dafür ist man schnell und kostenlos am Vanilla Beach, was wir als sehr praktisch empfunden haben.
Es gibt sehr viele Treppen, was je nach Zimmerlage anstrengend sein kann. Außerdem sind nur Barzahlungen möglich, was unpraktisch ist. Der Pool wirkt auf den Bildern größer, als er in Wirklichkeit ist. Die Nachbarn waren teilweise recht laut, vor allem durch Karaoke am Abend.
Zimmer/Villa: Atemberaubende Aussicht, sehr sauber und alles in einem guten Zustand. Das Bett war sehr bequem, die Minibar gut gefüllt und auch die Klimaanlage konnte man gut einstellen. Selbst an Silvester konnte man trotz Lärm in der Umgebung hervorragend schlafen, kaum Lärm und Licht durchgekommen. Infinitypool am Restaurant ist ebenfalls einen Besuch wert, WLAN immer top. Verpflegung: Wirklich solides Restaurant mit einer ebenfalls perfekten Aussicht und fairen Preisen. Sehr nettes Personal und gutes Essen, sowohl Frühstück als auch Abendessen konnte man alles essen. Sogar Cocktails gingen klar und selbst wenn man etwas zu spät gekommen ist zum Abendessen, wird umgehend eine Ausnahme gemacht und der Herd nochmal angeschmissen. Service: Absolutes Highlight aus unserer Sicht ist der Service. Man kann einen Transfer buchen vom Flughafen oder Hafen und wird vom Eigentümer persönlich abgeholt. Hier bekommt man bereits die ersten Infos und Tipps was alles in El Nido so abgeht. Das Personal ist der Hammer, der Rezeptionist erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch. Ob Bootstour, Rollerverleih, Transfers oder sonstige Serviceleistungen lassen sich problemlos und zuverlässig über die Rezeption buchen. Man wird jedes mal kostenlos die steile Straße nach oben gefahren, der Checkin- und Checkoutprozess war problemlos und innerhalb weniger Minuten erledigt. Es wird absolut kein trinkgeld erwartet, sie freuen sich aber natürlich trotzdem. Kostenloser Shuttle zum Vanilla Beach, von dort aus kann man, falls gewünscht, mit einem Tricycle weiter Richtung Stadt.
Mir fällt nichts ein. Wer keine Treppen laufen kann oder will sollte lieber wo anders buchen.
Beautiful, clean, and comfortable room in a resort with very lovely and helpful staff. The views of the mountains were so serene and the location is so quiet and peaceful. It was great for relaxing after long days out island hopping. Breakfast was also great at this restaurant, and we appreciated the complimentary trike rides to Vanilla Beach, where there are cafes, restaurants, and a nice beach to swim at.
The only negative is the accessibility of the location. You’ll need to take a tricycle for ~15 mins to get to El Nido town, which can cost around PHP 200-300. If we had our time again we’d rent a scooter to avoid the cost or reliance on trikes being available to hail. There are also steep stairs going up to the villas from the street level. But it’s all a very worthy price to pay for the peace and quiet of the Villa!
Accueil chaleureux. Possibilité de réserver un scooter et des excursions à la réception. À proximité de Vanilla Beach. Les hébergements sont spacieux et propres. La piscine est très agréable avec la vue sur El Nido. Superbe restaurant, les plats et petits déjeuners sont copieux. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were responsive to our needs and helped provide transportation for our group when we needed it. Also the view from the pool was beautiful.
The climb to the villas or to the restaurant was difficult for our older family members. The staff was helpful with our luggage and with taking us up and down the hill but there are still quite a few steps we need to climb to get around the rest of the property.
Staff are all very friendly and helpful, the villas are spacious with everything you could need included, and the views from the villas are beautiful. I had a great stay and would recommend RC Villas to anyone.
Vacker utsikt. Trevlig personal. Fint att de körde oss till stranden där det även fanns några mysiga restauranger.
Allt var egentligen bra men vattnet i duschen kunde varit varmare.
Séjour magnifique au RC Villas Resort. L’endroit est très beau, calme et propre, avec une superbe vue. Le personnel est vraiment sympa et le service excellent. Nous avons adoré le petit déjeuner au bord de la piscine, un vrai moment de plaisir. Je recommande vivement !
Magnifique vue Personnel très sympathique Petit déjeuner +++ Lessive sur place parfaite Très rapide d’accès aux plages
Tiene unas vistas muy bonitas al mar y a la naturaleza.
Esta demasiado lejos, para subir y bajar hay un tuc tuc que te lleva pero las escaleras se ponen complicadas. E hicimos uso del servicio de desayuno y aunque no estaba malo, era muy caro y el personal no era muy amable. Hicimos late chek out y nos dieron una habitacion que estaba libre con un precio por servicio bastante caro.
Отличный отель. Из-за отмены рейса мы приехали ночью и нас радушно встретили, приятно. Номер кажется небольшим, на первый взгляд, но 2 чемодана прекрасно разместились и не мешали. Отличная сантехника. уверенная горячая вода и хороший напор. Кондей современный, тихий. Отель находится вдали от центра, на горе, с прекрасным видом на море и горы. Тихое место, в красивом саду (без вечных филиппинских петухов 😂) Мы с друзьями сидели на террасе вечерами, место позволяло разместиться с комфортом. Много ступенек и всякой живности (летучие мышки, бабочки с ладонь, геконы и т. д.) к этому нужно быть готовым, лично нам это даже нравилось. В номерах насекомых не было. В отеле живут милые рыжие кошки). По отелю ездит трицикл. Он возит на Ваннилу бич, где можно взять другой трицикл до вашей цели. Вкусные завтраки и отличный персонал. Мы забыли забрать депозит, нам его вернули через сотрудника отеля в Корон.
Espectacular Villa, las vistas, la piscina.. Limpieza.. todo.
La ubicación, está un poco apartado y no ponen ellos mucho transporte, por lo que tienes que apañarte para ir y venir, aunque no es complicado.
Nous avons tout apprécié de cet établissement. Le staff est très gentil et très serviable. Une navette nous emmène gratuitement jusqu’à Vanilla Beach. Effectivement, l’établissement est en hauteur, mais la vue est en prenable et il y a également une navette qui vous monte. Il faut compter environ 15 minutes en scooter pour aller à El Nido. Ça se fait bien et ils gèrent la réservation du scooter
Stunning views, beautiful and spacious room, tidy bathroom and new airco. The pool is also very nice. The staff is outstanding. Very friendly and will go above and beyond to make you comfortable. They had a motorbike delivered for us to rent and negotiated the price for us. (This is a big recommendation as it is about 10 min drive to El Nido proper - the main hub for tours, dining, nightlife etc) Also when we needed to leave at 5:30 AM for our flight, the hotels tricycle driver was very punctual which was great, especially given the hour of the day.
Small downside: there is a bit of a gap between the windowframes and the windows when closed, so a few musquito’s came in the first night. We solved it by putting some tissues in the gaps.
The facilities was amazing. We like everything especially the 50% massage offer. The massage is one of the best I've ever had. Its away from the town BUT it was nice and peaceful. The food in the restaurant was so good. I will come back to this hotel if another opportunity comes again.
Got confused with the breakfast. On our first day, we had an ala carte then the next day, its buffet. Would be nice to have a quick intro...
0 ruidos, alejado del centro, buen descanso, el personal super atento con los huespedes
Todo !!
The front desk staff doesn't accomodate us properly. He makes us wait for a long time without informing us what is happening. The towels were not changed every day. We stayed for 3 nights but we didnt get any new towels.
Todo. Las habitaciones geniales y muy limpias. La vista en todo el resort y desde la terraza de la habitación es increíble. El personal es agradable y te ayudan con todo lo que necesites. Alquilamos una moto con ellos sin ningún problema y servicio de lavandería. Lo que más nos sorprendió de todo fue el restaurante que tienen donde la piscina donde a parte de poder disfrutar de unas vistas increíbles tienen platos con muchísima calidad (especial mención al chef que es un verdadero crack) y buenísimo a un precio asequible a escasos metros de tu habitación. Sin duda si volvemos a El Nido no dudaremos en hospedarnos de nuevo con ellos.
Beautiful views! The highlight for us was the food. Amazing!! Stayed for over a week and we pretty much ate there every meal. The staff were so friendly and ready to help at any moment even being able to fulfill our special request.
It is a little bit out of the way so having to pay for a tricycle each time we returned to the villa wasn’t the best but very nice to be away from everything else.
Un lugar excelente, destacar las impresionantes vistas y lo confortables que son las habitaciones. La pendiente no es ningún problema, el triciclo siempre está disponible para subir o bajar, en 4 días no hemos tenido que esperar un sólo minuto en ninguna ocasión…las vistas desde la piscina/restaurante son un espectáculo, y la calidad de la comida otro… Lavandería bien y a precio razonable, alquilan scooter.. Personal extraordinario.
The view is very relaxing. The room for me is the best! They put the sink and mirror outside the bathroom which is very hygienic. The internet is good and there is netflix in each rooms. We stayed in our room most of the time. We love RC Villas!
Maybe the stairs. Everyday we need to climb the stairs though their is a service until 12am going uo and down the villas. That service is free!
The room, the view, the staff, all was great. The villa was very clean and spacious. We were provided with a convenient parking spot at the area. Also we were provided daily with bottled drinking water and water coolers were always available at the facilities. Daily cleaning was available (although we use it each second day, it was a pleasant option). The view is stunning. We didn't spend much time at terrace because it's hot during the day and mosquitos from evening, but morning was a great time to enjoy and panoramic window gave us the view all day around. It is located at the top of villas complex, so location is private enough. We used paid laundry service and got things clean, and nicely folded. The pool was common, but clean and not crowded. We would definitely stop there again if we are back to El Nido area.
We tried breakfast once and we wouldn't say we enjoyed, and menu didn't look appealing for us, so maybe that's the point to refine grab ideas from some good places in the area. But for us it wasn't a problem to drive somewhere to eat out. There were couple of wifi interruptions that were resolved fast, it is important as cellphone signal is very weak there on top. The laundry service took more than 24h (I think 1.5 days), maybe it would be possible to speed it up somehow.
The property was as clean as it can be out in the jungle. The men handling the cafe area were great. They worked hard and made sure our requests were done to the best of their ability. Food was solid, I only wish we had fresh calamansi juice available. The view was beautiful and it was nice not having any giant hotels or condos nearby. For the room, the showers were fantastic and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever had in a vacation property. It was quiet and they worked hard to clean the stairs daily. The shuttle to Vanilla beach was very helpful to have available. I loved that the property was further away from the commercialized areas. I didn't mind the critters (snails, lizards, toads) and never saw any roaches - which is a HUGE win in my book in PH.
Food options - wish there were more Filipino dishes and fruit. The property really needs skilled labor to address any technical issues, there was a power outage all day on our arrival and with the weather/humidity it was pretty miserable until a guest fixed the generator. The internet was also not working until we fixed it ourselves. The POS/Booking system needs to be updated to allow for credit card payments and the 2000 PHP per person refundable deposit needs to be disclosed before even allowing a booking since it was required in cash. We almost didn't have enough between us to pay and almost every place we went in El Nido only took cash. That said, RC Villas is still one of the best places to stay in El Nido for a reasonable price and would recommend it.
Great little villas on the hillside with spectacular views across the forest and sea. Rooms were very comfortable. Breakfast up by the pool was always freshly cooked and delicious, as was the evening meal we enjoyed there as well. A special shout out for all the staff who were always helpful and kind. Airport transfers were handled efficiently. We used the reception staff to hire a scooter to get around. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Nothing
Lovely views.
Small pool right near restaurant
Beautiful view for the room and swimming pool, staff really nice ! Better have a scooter if not you can’t do anything by walk
the location close to the beautiful beach with overlook to el nido, but still out of el Nido so quiet place to stay. Nice swimming pool on the hill, free taxi to the beach and to villas
breakfast was a bit weak as well as the restaurant a la carte offer, food quite expensive, breakfast for an extra pay
The hotel is located in a beautiful area with a nice view. The restaurant could have better food and breakfasts. There is a free hotel taxi to the nearest beach.
A good choice for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of El Nido! The bungalows are built on a slope with lots of stairs, but this is not a problem as there is always a transfer to take guests up and down! By scooter approx. 10 minutes to the center Beautiful view of the sea from the side!
-Small selection at breakfast where extras were always charged extra. -Many small ants in the room -Very loud and many rooster crowing in the area which was clearly audible
Great staff, location, pool, views, tranquility, value for money
Nothing
I stayed at this hotel for two weeks and had a very positive experience. Out of the five hotels I visited across different islands in the Philippines, this was the best. I would consider staying here again. Clean and well-maintained facilities Quiet and peaceful atmosphere Daily housekeeping, fresh bed linens every other day Two complimentary bottles of water per day Tasty and varied European-style breakfast with fresh fruit, plus a good restaurant (we tried most of dishes, and everything was well-prepared, especially the paella). Friendly and attentive staff Beautiful views New air conditioning Fast and stable Starlink internet Free shuttle to Vanilla Beach, which has cafés, sun loungers, massage parlors, and a McDonald's. The shuttle is one-way, so for the return trip, a tricycle is needed (they are easy to find). Great for walking – Vanilla Beach connects to Marimegmeg Beach, Las Cabañas Beach, and Dolarog Beach, offering several kilometers of sandy coastline for a scenic walk. Motorbike rentals available Laundry service for a reasonable additional fee Well-kept grounds, clean pool with a nice view, and a restaurant
Ants in the room – Housekeeping can apply pest control upon request, which helps for about a day. Loose power sockets – Chargers may not stay in place properly, which can interrupt charging. Things to Consider (not downsides): Distance from the city Small lizards or mosquitoes may occasionally enter the room. Stairs are required to reach the pool and restaurant from the rooms.
The room is very comfortable and the views are so beautiful! Delicious breakfast every morning and a free tricycle ride to Vanilla Beach.
It’s a bit further from El Nido, so if you want to get further than vanilla beach you’ll have to pay for a tricycle. There are lots of stairs to walk up but they have a driver who offers to take you all the way up to reception!
Great place to stay! Away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido and close to Vanilla Beach. The venue is located on a hill, so be prepared to walk up steps to reach your room or the restaurant/pool. There is a dedicated tuktuk that helps bringing guests up and down when needed, as well as a complementary drop off to Vanilla Beach or to the scooter rental partner. The room was super clean and very well maintained, beds were comfortable, top amenities supplied (special note for the body lotion), water bottles, tea, coffee and a kettle, good laundry service. And not to forget, the views were lovely!
Nothing
Breathtaking views from the room, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The restaurant and pool area offer the same stunning scenery, creating a perfect atmosphere to relax. Both breakfast and dinner exceeded expectations with their delicious flavors and quality. The staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. Convenient and comfortable airport transfers at a reasonable price added to the overall ease of travel. Plus, the free transport to Vanilla Beach was a great bonus, offering access to a variety of cafés, bars, and massage parlors.
Everything here is really perfect and done with so much care it’s impossible to put a finger on anything. And they have really thought about all the needs of a traveller. I was in the budget room with dorm beds but it was such good value for money and still with a private terrace, Netflix tv etc. The food is delicious ( I had both breakfast, lunch, dinner while here). Views are stunning from the pool /restaurant area. There’s a free shuttle to vanilla beach and it’s really nice to be a bit away from the hectic downtown area. You do need to be a bit mobile to stay here as there are many stairs and if you don’t have a car or scooter you do need a taxi or tricycle to get into town. But if you’re looking for peace and great views it’s a perfect place.
Great location/view in general, excellent personnel/service in particular (cleaning, breakfast, transfers, tours with local companies - everything was so easy).
-
The resort is amazing!!! From the really warm and nice people who work there to the breathtaking view from the resort! The room had been cleaned every day! The restaurant also has a nice view and very delicious cuisine! The prices at the restaurant are better than in the city! The breakfast is a must before starting the trips through the day. There is a TV with Netflix for a chill night. We will definitely come back! Thank you for the amazing experience!
Our stay here was nothing short of incredible and vastly exceeded our expectations. The resort offers a homely atmosphere with few villas so it feels very personal. The staff went above and beyond - from airport pickup with a city tour to helping arrange beach transfers and tours for us. The chef prepared amazing meals, and the location, while slightly removed from the center, offers easy access to both Vanilla Beach and town. The reliable Starlink internet was a huge plus in an area known for poor connectivity. If you're comfortable with a few stairs, this hillside paradise is absolutely worth it. We'll definitely return on our next visit to El Nido!
The best thing on these villas is the team! Transfer and reception ladies, restaurant and cleaning teams, tricycle drivers - all do their best to make your stay comfortable and relaxed. Food was good - actually one of the best we had on Philippines (try fish curry), villas were very clean and view terrific. although it’s really remote on the hill you have tricycle to go to vanilla beach any time you like and they also give you a lift uphill when you feel lazy. They also provide good laundry service.
Villas are rather small. As for the rest - they honestly warn you about all specific moments of the hotel, so either you are ok with them or just choose another place to stay.
