AMARAV Pension House Nacpan El Nido

Hot Showers, Cold Aircon, and functional WiFi. What more could you ask for so far away from the cities🤗 This place was perfect for me. The staff was very friendly.

Unfortunately there were several power outages during my stay. Most were just for a few hours at a time which is manageable, but on my last day from midnight until checkout at noon the power was out.

Good value for moneh

No amenities .

Excellent stay! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was great. Everything was well organized, and the photos match the place exactly.very clean bath room et AC working well. Highly recommended

The stuff did his best to satisfy our requests.

Die Lage

Das Bad war immer nass

The staff were so kind my second time saying here! It has been updated since my stay last year!

I liked everything about this property and will be back

Świetna lokalizacja w samym centrum wioski dzięki czemu mogliśmy poczuć niesamowity klimat i autentyczność tego miejsca z dala od turystów i cyrku El Nido. Blisko sklepiki i knajpki. Niesamowicie miły i pomocny personel. Fajna właścicielka😉 Pokoje czyste, dosyć duże, wygodnie nam się spało. Do plaży Nacpan 10 minut wolnym spacerem. Cieszymy się że zdecydowaliśmy tam nocować a nie w El Nido.

W łazience płytki źle wypoziomowane, przez co woda stała i ciągle było mokro i robił się bałagan przez to, nie można było normalnie umyć rąk przy zlewie bo zawsze wchodziłeś w wodę która nie spływała po prysznicu. Powinni dam jakieś ściągaczki do wody. U znajomych w pokoju było normalnie. Nasz pokój nr 3.

Tolle moderne Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht. Top Lage!

Das WLAN hat im Zimmer leider nicht funktioniert.

nice place to stay !

everything was fine

Personnel très sympathique, chambre propre et confortable. À quelques pas de Nacpan Beach.

La posizione è la pulizia iniziale

Non hanno mai sistemato la camera Rapporto freddo

Good location (short walk from the beach and opposite a lovely pizza restaurant) and very reasonable price. There aren’t many properties in the area at all unless you’re willing to spend a huge amount of money to stay by the beach, so this is one of few affordable options.

Our room was far worse than the pictures on Booking.com. I’m not sure if we just got one of the older rooms, but it wasn’t in great shape - essentially looked like you were sleeping in a yellow shipping container. The bathroom was fine, but we didn’t have a toilet seat which was never addressed by the staff. We didn’t complain, as we were informed they were fully booked so knew there wasn’t an additional room to move us to. We were put in a room with 2 twin beds when we’d booked a double. I think the room felt clean, but by no means spotless. Toiletries also aren’t provided - you have to buy your own hand soap, shampoo etc. We also found the main lady working here to have quite a rude attitude. We spoke to her a few times during our stay (to book laundry service, a taxi, even a boat trip - all paid extras that you think she’d be happy to provide) and every time felt like she was doing us a favour/we were inconveniencing her. We took it with a pinch of salt and got on with our stay but she was by no means approachable, hence why we felt there was no point mentioning the missing toilet seat in our room. Our room also wasn’t serviced for the entirety of our 5 night stay, meaning we had to ask for additional toilet paper, which again was made to seem like an inconvenience.

Nacpan beach was amazing.

Very nice, very cheap. Best beach I have ever seen

WiFi in room is shocking

Tita Mayet and her husband, and the ladies who help maintain the property were all friendly and super helpful! Our family really appreciated their hospitality, their recommendations, and being accommodating of our requests. The property is also so close to the long stretch of Nacpan beach, lined with so many restaurants! Tita also made sure that we were getting wi-fi well, and that we are having an excellent time. The property also has a generator, so the one time that the electricity suddenly cut off, we were still fine. Also, Helena's restaurant across the property had the most excellent pizza and offered the best deal for breakfast (most delicious too!). Overall, our stay at Amarav was really great, and we are so grateful for our experience in El Nido thanks to the people who were looking after us.

Great location ,clean, friendly hosts . Great price .

O

Leur gentillesse était débordante, super gentil et super accueillant

Ne laissez surtout pas vos affaires à la réception au sol, si vous avez de la nourriture dans le sac peu importe quelle nourriture puisque il y a des fourmis et ça remplit complètement nos sacs

Lovely staff. Great location. Booked transfer. Did laundry

El lugar está gestionado por sus propios dueños que siempre están atentos a solucionar cualquier necesidad que uno tenga. Pudimos alquilar una moto (500 pesos filipinos por día) y nos lavaron la ropa increíble. No esperes grandes lujos (tampoco por el precio habría que pretenderlo), pero el lugar cumple perfecto la función de tener un lugar para pegarte una ducha y descansar después de un día de playa. Hay algunos almacenes cerca y un par de localcitos de comida donde poder desayunar, almorzar o cenar por unos 7 a 10 USD por persona. Además cuenta con dispenser de agua fría y caliente. Si queres estar alejado del caos de El Nido, Nacpan es un lugar ideal 🙌

Quizás mejoraría que cada vez que uno se baña, se moja todo el baño.

Total nette Besitzer, man konnte günstig einen Roller mieten, tolle Lage, niedlicher Hund

Das Badezimmer roch nicht besonders gut und wir glauben dass hinter der Klimaanlage ein Vogelnest war, denn man hörte dahinter immer viel rascheln und zwitschern

We loved the owners. They were so so helpful with everything. Just the best!!! 😍😍

L’emplacement de l’hôtel était super, très proche de la magnifique plage de Nacpan. Le personnel était souriant et agréable.

Il pourrait y avoir un peu plus de rangements.

Tout était parfait. Le logement était propre, confortable et conforme à la description. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Rien

New hotel,it s clean.

Little far from beach.

L'emplacement idéal loin du tumulte de El Nido près d une magnifique plage d'où on peut partir pour les excursions proximité de petits restaurants la propriétaire est sympathique et pleines de bons conseils

Rien

床垫很好

晚上鸡叫狗叫声太多

Pension propre. Chambre confortable. Climatisation.salle de bain propre. Eau chaude. Bonne pression .Petite terrasse individuelle. Personnel sympa. Logement bien situé. A quelques minutes à pied d'une plage magnifique avec plein de restaurants.

Le wifi quasiment inexistant dans la chambre. Faut sortir de la chambre. Dommage qu'il ne propose pas le petit déjeuner. Bon rapport qualité prix.

Great price, cheap and cheerful, 2mins drive from nacpan. Quick check in and check out. Free water (hot and cold).Clean rooms.

Very nice

Pulizia, value for money, posizione

Nulla, forse solo il bagno poco comodo.

La ubicacion y staff muy servicial

Que la señora le pedimos dos noches mas y nos cambio de habitacion de matrimonio a una con literas sin aviso ninguno ña ducha era para niños pequeños ay no cabia un adulto

Simple place to stay near to Nacpan beach. 3 mins walk to the beach - super nice. Located next to the main road - convenient but also noisy. Aircon in the room and hot water shower are great advantages.

Little noisy in the early morning (traffic, music, roosters) and during the evening (karaoke etc.).

Location

Drive to El Nido

Staying here truly felt like visiting a beloved aunt. This family-owned, family-run pension has such a warm and caring atmosphere — from the owners to the cleaning staff, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everything was spotless and exceptionally clean. The rooms were extremely clean, fresh, and smelled wonderfully — like freshly washed laundry at home. The water pressure was excellent, with hot water available at all times, which made the stay even more comfortable. You can really feel the love and care put into this place. I honestly wish I could have stayed longer and would happily come back anytime.

The location in a nice friendly little village close to the beach. For the rest our 1 night experience was not so good. We do not want to burn the whole accommodation down with a bad score, we simple had a really bad night of sleep in room 2. I cannot believe this thing will happen in the 14 other rooms also.

The fan/airco unit started to make extra mechanical rattling noises around midnight, When turning it off completely we started hearing a constant load mechanical ticking coming from the airco next door plus at the same time the barking of some psycho nervous little dog and the loud siren of a cat caught in heat. We could shut out these even worse noises by turning the airco unit back on again. All resulting in a short night of sleep. Probably not representative for other rooms and other guests.

Bien placé par rapport à la plage Le loueur de scooters est directement dans la coure de l’hôtel Le personnel est très sympathique, nous avons par exemple pu prendre un douche alors que nous avions déjà rendu la chambre Eau chaude

Location, Cleanliness, Price, Customer Service

部屋はシンプルだがなや綺麗に掃除されていて、水圧も問題ない。 ビーチまで徒歩10分もかからないし、すぐ近くにもレストランや商店があるので便利。 穏やかなマダムがとても親切にしてくれて、スタッフにも助けられた。

Awesome. The owner she helped us with everything, she was very kind! Also it have good location.

Bliskość sklepów

great! for the prize could not ask for more! the hosts were great!

Basic, quiet, clean, comfortable and close to Nacpan beach. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful, they also offer scooter rentals and recommendations for adventures. Wifi available in the room and free water cooler in the building which was nice. Lots of small convenience stores around for snacks or other amenities.

The water pressure in the shower was quite poor, and the shower drain had a weird smell.

The host, most probably the owner did not provide soap. First time I've heard about it. And then they were unwilling to help wit transportation info...

Staff were super helpful especially the young lady Good area of the village - quiet yet in centre. Comfy bed, good water pressure though I only had hot water on last day.

As per other reviews - loud aircon, smell in bathroom after a few days, wifi only in common area It’s about a 40 min scooter ride north of El Nido but the nearby beaches were incredibly beautiful and local village is charming

The property is nice and clean , very close to the beach.

No issues at all.

Great location, friendly team, modern building. Plenty of small restaurants and shops nearby at walking distance. You can rent motorbikes on site, organise tour and everything like that.

Internet is only available outside on the porch. So OK for holidays but not if you are working.

Hahaha, I travel solo but got an 8 person family room. So yeah, I had lots of space and two airco's. Comfortable bed, bathroom had hot water but low water pressure (like everywhere around here). You have a little seat in front of your room which is a nice touch. They have Starlink and solar, so decent internet even during the many blackouts. All in all a pretty decent stay for a reasonable price (for El Nido standards that is)

The second day I found out there is hot and cold drinking water and even a kitchen (from another guest). Would be much nicer if they tell you that during check-in. Otherwise really nice people, just a tad passive. It's good to know that Nacpan is far far from the bus station and El Nido beach town. Tricycles will all try to rip you off for 1200 php. Best rent a scooter and drive yourself (Go to Hustler Motor Rental, 500 a day)

The AC was working at least. Warm water but no water pressure. Toiletpaper, but no Soap. Free Water Dispenser was awesome. We got Cups and some Plates after asking the Staff. Scooter Rental straight from the Hotel for 500 PHP per Day - no Discount for more Days... Rooms are more spacious then in the Rest of the Philipines. Good Spot for the incredible Nacpan Beach.

No cleaning in between. Hard to get new Towels for a stay of 4 Nights. No Mountain View, Backyard view. Smelly Bathroom and loud AC. Its like a Jet starts in your Sleepingroom. Expensive Tranpsort to El nido Port - Different Prices for other nationalitys...

Good price, clean. About 8 min walk from the most beautiful beach in the area with fresh ocean water and waves! Be careful you don’t get caught in the riptide!

Toilet didn’t always flush well but I think that is common for the area. The power in the area goes out frequently but usually comes back quickly.

Quiet location 10 mins walk to beach

There seems to be building work on going could of made it a bit tidier

Excellent staff....

Near to the Nacpan beach, good mattrace

Absence of 5G/LTE signal, just no signal at all. Poor wifi which working just outside on the terrace where are tons of mosquitos, really bad toilet which just dont flush, there was no toilet paper but still impossible, not nice… Also no mirror there, not even soap in the bathroom.

5-10 minute walk from beach. Surrounded by delicious local restaurants. Effective air conditioning. Good value for money.

Bathroom had an odd smell when fan was on. Same with the air conditioning.

The location is good, 10 minute walk to the Nacpan beach and 3 minute walk to the Twin beach. There is hot water almost all the time and AC when there is no power outage.

Cleanliness itself is alright, although each day the room gets pulleyed with the smoking smells from outside which is to the level where you need to wear a mask as it’s quite dangerous for health. Also all clothes inside the room got the smell which is quite disgusting, we had to rewash everything. Wifi is there but you can use it only outside the room which is quite inconvenient as in the evening you get all types of bugs flying and crawling on to you. Also it’s not fast Wifi, you can browse but not have any calls, barely watch videos, and it disappears occasionally. Water pressure was so low in the shower that you don’t really understand whether all shampoo is out from the hair, maybe it was just my room. First day the water didn’t go out when flushed in the toilet, but they fixed the day after. There is a lot of mosquitos in the room, first night they put some incense outside, but nothing other nights and no mosquito net to protect in the bed. We got only one small towel each for 4 nights stay, and as nothing dries in the humid room, wasn’t nice to each time use more and more wet towel. The owners are trying to do their best to support but it doesn’t improve the experience much. The cleaning ladies feels like trying to avoid any of the guests eye contact to not be asked any questions and walk invisibly. Cherry on the top for our experience as the van we booked from the owner to go to Puerto Princesa which they highlighted that is direct from our village to the airport and was supposed to take 4-5 hours which we were expecting and prepared for, instead in turned out to be the worst ride we had in Philippines during whole month we stayed there. The arrived late for over an hour. It took us over 8 hours and even before reaching El Nido we spent 1.5 hours driving around, not talking all the stops after. A lot of people getting nauseous in the van. Luckily we made our flight on time, but make sure you book van from El Nido to get better experience.

Good value. Kind staff. A decent budget option when you want to have AC and stay just 8 min walk to Nacpan Beach which is easily the nicest beach where you can stay (without a million dollars) in the El Nido region.

Toilet had very very slow flush - many times thought it may not! But I think this is typical for the whole area.

Good situation , very near Nacpan beach, on a quiet street with local life. Hotel was very comfortable, good a/c and bathroom, we stayed 6 weeks. I needed a good connection, internet was excellent (Starlink). Owner are very nice and helpful, we rented a scooter at a very good price, bike was new ! Very quiet at night

Great location with a fantastic cultural experience. Cool nearby shops and restaurants with friendly helpful locals

The area had frequent blackouts, but that was not the hotels fault. It’s a little village with an old power grid. The water pressure was a bit weak as well.

Within walking distance to beach and restaurants. Also staff helpful if you need a tryke they will organise it for you

Shower pressure is weak. Whole floor gets wet

NOTHING.

THEY FRAUD ME 2000 PESOS,WHEN HIRED MY SCOOTER THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME THE RECEIPT AND PAID THE WHOLE PRICE AT ONCE AFTER 4 DAYS THEY REQUESTED TO PAY ANOTHER 2000 PESOS MORE.... IT'S REALLY UPSET ME.🤬🤬🤬 THE OWNER IS RUDE, GREEDY AND NO ETHIC PERSON ,IN SPITE OF SHE KNEW EVERYTHING WHAT HAPPENED SHE DOESN'T CARE ! They are ants infestation Really Noisy place MOSQUITOS

Everything

No TV

Good location. Within 5-10 minutes to the beautiful beaches. Very friendly staff.

AC isn't that powerful. But got provided a fan which helped. Frequent blackouts (not Amarav's fault).

good location.

very weak and ruke warm (not hot) water pressure...

Friendly stuff, walking distance to most beautiful beach in el Nido

Sometimes Shortage of power

2 minutes from the beach. The room was very clean and the staff were super friendly.

Possibility of using the kitchen, closeness to the nicest beach on the island - Nacban beach, and quiet neighbourhood.

Wifi was weak, especially during the evening when all the rooms were using it.

I like that the room was air conditioned. The owner and her staff were very helpful. When we had arrived at the accomodation after booking online less than two hours prior she said she hasn’t received any information with regards our booking. She assured us there will be guests checking out soon so we will have a room to stay in.

Toilet didn’t flush. Owner quickly offered another room.

good price-quality ratio. large, clean room with air conditioning, very nice owner and staff, helped organize scooter rental and transport to El Nido. I could leave my luggage for the whole day. I recommend
