Très paisible, propre et agréable

Cozy is the word o would use. A boutique experience of good vibes. The owner does everything from checkin to cooking. She is an awesome spirit.
The fact that not more people do not know about it.
Chambre propre, lit confortable. Et salle de bain Niquel.
Chambre un peu petite pour 4
Sødt og hjælpsomt personale
Maden var ikke særligt god. Værelset lugtede ekstremt af urin. Håndklæderne havde pletter på. Aircondition var en af de gamle larmende blæsere som sidder i vinduet. Derfor larmede det også en del fra vejen ind gennem vinduet. Maden passede fint til det amerikanske tema hotellet har, det var ret forarbejdet og smagte af pap.
The young lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful.
A bit far from the centre and found a couple of cockroaches in the room.
Hôtel très proche du centre de El Nido, le personnel est très accueillant et arrangeant, je recommande fortement !
Leider nichts. Haben uns von den vermutlich eigens verfassten Bewertungen täuschen lassen.
Die Zimmer waren eng und leider sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Teilweise dreckig und defekt. Sehr sehr laute und schlechte Umgebung. Der Betreiber überhaupt nicht kulant, drohte sogar mit Polizei. Wir haben auf gute und faire Dienstleistung gehofft. Vergeblich. Gehe davon aus, dass bei unserer notwendigen früheren Abreise aufgrund des schlechten Zimmers und der Lautstärke, das Zimmer doppelt vergeben wurde. Wir haben keine Erstattung erhalten. Das ist für mich Abzocke. Schade
Spacious rooms, very clean, close to Lio beach and airport, 10 min away from el nido town, restaurant is very good, staff very friendly
Nothing to report other than the AC was a bit loud but definitely manageable
Super mili ludzie , rodzinna atmosfera, świetne jedzenie , lokalizacja , czyste ładne pokoje. Lekarz również dla dzieci po 2 stronie ulicy. Bliskość do aptek. Szczerze polecam , byliśmy w dwie rodziny z małymi dziećmi. Jakość do ceny Super ! Pozdrawiamy Armando :)
La patronne est très accueillante et toujours prête à rendre service. Nous avons pris les excursions avec l'hôtel et c'était super, moins de 20 personnes et bonne ambiance.
Kind and helpful staff, clean rooms quiet lication and almost close to Lio beach.

Very cozy room, style full made! Feels very comfortable. Would go again a next time.
Internet wasn't stable. It's a general issue, I know can't avoid it. It happens now and then with Starlink connection.
La propreté
Les chiens qui aboient
Bon rapport qualité prix
The place is not clean. We experienced cockroaches in the room and no hot water.
Le lit
Le personnel, prix trop élevé, pas propre
Buiten het " echte centrum " maar wel dichtbij het prachtige Lio Beach strand ,vliegveld en je bent in 3 minuten in het centrum met een tricycle. Accommodatie is netjes, schone kamers, gastvrouw is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Je kunt er ontbijten, tegen betaling, is goed. Ook kun je er eten, diverse hamburgers broodjes, zijn lekker.
Accommodatie ligt langs een doorgaande weg met best veel verkeer. Wij hadden daar geen last van. Maar wel geluids overlast. Er hong een airco die onregelmatig druppelde op een golfplaat aan de buitenkant, het was net of het regen was, dat hield mij regelmatig wakker. Maar moet zeker geen bezwaar zijn om daar te overnachten. Wij hebben ons uitstekend vermaakt . Uitbaters doen er alles aan om het naar je zin te maken!
Such a nice, chill and comfy hotel. Amazing staff and delicious food !
Die Zimmer waren sauber und sahen gepflegt aus. Das Personal war super freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Man hat sich super wohl gefühlt.
Die Lage war nicht schlecht aber auch nicht gut. Es war nah an der Lio Beach aber 300 PHP von El Nido entfernt.
Amazing hotel. Our flight was cancelled due to bad weather and had to book a nearby place last minute. Found this hotel are such a great price and location. Plus, staff were super friendly, met the owners too, great people. Honestly couldn’t recommend it more. Small shops/stalls nearby, very friendly people around the area. The room was amazing considering the price. Bed very comfortable, ac working and bathroom was great. Had shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Will book again in future, thank you!
Super friendly family owned hotel, beautiful pool, rooms with modern large tv, very comfortable and equipped to be mostly self sufficient, rectified a minor issue without hesitation WiFi good, in the Korean area of town so surrounding restaurants and amenities are top quality
A localização é boa pois fica somente a 10 minutos de moto até a cidade, e por ser afastado do centro, é mais calmo, sem barulhos de gente na rua, somente de cachorros e bichinhos. O hotel em si é muito bem cuidado (áreas compartilhadas) e limpo também.
A pressão da água tanto do chuveiro quanto da pia é bem fraca, não dá para tomar um banho relaxante, então tive que improvisar usando a torneira que tem no chuveiro, mas sem água quente. A água do chuveiro não escorre na hora, ou seja, vai ficar alagado durante e um pouco depois do banho. A beliche é muito baixa, bati várias vezes a minha cabeça. Não tem serviço de quarto, que é ok, desde que sempre reponha papel higiênico, troque toalhas e tire o lixo do quarto, toda vez precisei pedir esses serviços, mas as meninas sempre foram simpáticas e solícitas em atender ao pedido. O wi-fi é bem fraco, usei mais o eSim mesmo. Quando a energia cai, não tem o que fazer a não ser esperar, pois não há gerador.
No hacen la habitación, no había sábanas, el aire acondicionado hacía mucho ruido, el personal estuvo poco pendiente, no había espacio para ropa y habia una lámpara rota y los cuelga toallas también estaban rotos. No merece la pena pagar un precio caro por un lugar lejano a El Nido y sin ningún encanto. Mucho ruido por la proximidad del aeropuerto.
I liked how close it was to the airport and that there was a restaurant. I was in an emergency situation and the proximity was perfect. Right off the highway. Also, Rose, the host at the restaurant, was great! She helped tremendously. Great for a last minute situation. However, if you have other options and more time I would choose a different place.
This was certainly overpriced for what you get. The room was a little stuffy and not very clean. The toilet paper ran out, and there was no replacement, the soap was half empty. There was hair in the shower, that wasn’t mine. Overall not as clean as the photos listed. The process should reflect this. Maybe $20-$30 USD for one night, certainly not $50+
C'est très propre , confortable , cosy , très bon rapport qualité prix .Le personnel est vraiment très sympathique , un grand merci à eu pour leurs gentillesse , il nous ont fait apprécier d'autant plus notre séjours après un mauvaise expérience dans un logement précédent. Salamat Po.
L'évacuation de le douche était très lente mais ça ne nous as pas vraiment gené
Goo price
WiFi does not work
Very clean and comfortable room. Good food and great customer service. Totally recommended
The toilet window would not close fully, making it easier for mosquito to enter the room
The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were attentive and kind. The food here is also delicious!
- propreté - employé au top et appelle les tuktuk si besoin - proche de l'aéroport (5 min en tuktuk, 30 min à pied) - chambre assez grande
- clim et ventilateur qui font du bruit toute la nuit
Blisko pięknej Lio Beach, dobrze skomunikowane z centrum, sklep tuż obok, więc lokalizacja na plus. Duży plus za to, że pozwolono nam wcześniej się zakwaterować. Dobry standard łazienki.
Pokój o dość niskim standardzie, w łazience nie dało się zamknąć okna, mimo interwencji obsługi, Panu również nie udało się go zamknąć, prześwity również przy klimatyzacji, więc ciągle do pokoju wchodziły gekony i wlatywały owady. Przynajmniej raz dziennie nie było prądu. Łóżko mogłoby być większe.

זרם מים חלש ביותר במקלחת. ממש זרזיף.
Island Lyfe Adventures – A True Hidden Gem in El Nido Island Lyfe Adventures is a family-owned business with simple accommodation, but what truly makes this place special is its fabulous, warm, and ever-smiling owner, Fheb. The Room & Location: The rooms are basic, equipped with a fan and AC. Don’t expect anything fancy – it’s simple, clean, and comfortable, although there is no TV. The internet in El Nido is generally quite weak across the entire island, and the Wi-Fi here isn’t the best either, but it didn’t really bother me. The location is convenient, close to both the airport and town. Just be aware that the hotel sits on the main road, so it can get noisy in the mornings with roosters and nearby construction. I’m a heavy sleeper, so it didn’t bother me, but my fiancée struggled with the early-morning noise at times. The Food – Absolutely Outstanding: The food here genuinely exceeded all expectations. Breakfast was delicious, especially the homemade strawberry jam – unbelievably good. But the real stars are on the lunch and dinner menu. My fiancée ordered the chicken burger, and it was to die for. I’m not even a big fan of chicken burgers, yet this one was easily a 10/10 – juicy, crispy, and incredibly flavourful. I ordered the peri-peri chicken (being Portuguese, I had to!), and let me tell you: this dish is spicy. I can handle heat, but this was on another level. Still, it was absolutely delicious – super juicy, packed with flavour, and with a proper peri-peri kick. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but if you love spicy food, you must try it. The Heart of the Place – Fheb & Her Son: The highlight of Island Lyfe Adventures isn’t the rooms or even the food — it’s Fheb, her wonderful team, and her polite, bright, and charming son. Fheb goes above and beyond in every aspect of customer service. She’s approachable, always smiling, friendly, and incredibly helpful.
Muy limpio, ordenado y el staff super agradable
Il était proche de la meilleure plage d’el Nido (Lio beach) et près de l’aéroport. tout le monde était au petits soins pour nous deux enfants de 3ans et 7 mois.
Großes, geräumiges und auch sehr sauberes Zimmer. Das beste und größte Bad auf unserer einmonatigen Philippinen Reise. Auch das Betr war sehr bequem. Klimaanlage hat gut funktioniert, zusätzlich gibt es einen Deckenventilator, den wir noch mehr genutzt haben. Schöne, gepflegte Anlage. Auch das Restaurant hier ist gut, aber etwas teurer. Lage etwas außerhalb, was wir wussten, aber Roller ist hier notwendig.
Viele Mücken. Leider gar keine Möglichkeit seine nassen Badesachen und Handtücher aufzuhängen, was nach einem Strandtag oder Tauchen schon sehr wichtig wäre.
Cerca del aeropuerto para hacer noche para el día siguiente, una cabaña bien equipada.
El aire acondicionado es un poco ruidoso
Definitely, the best accommodation I've been to in Palawan. Exceeded expectations. Everything very clean, comfortable and organised. Great Staff and very helpful owners. The level of accommodation is well above the Asian standard. I would definitely stay here again, it's a special place. The food from the restaurant accompanies the level of accommodation. Delicious food, very well presented and fresh. Thank you very much.
I stayed the first night and soon decided to extend my stay. Everything was wonderful, from the accommodation, staff, owners, comfort and the food of the restaurant. It was the main reason for prolonging my stay in El Nido. Thank you for everything.

The room exceeded my expectations
Nothing everthing was good
To be honest the best hotel there is. We stayed at a resort few days before but even this hotel is better, cleaner, accommodating staff and so forth. Would go back again!!
Nice atmosphere even though it’s along a main road it feels like nature when you’re there. Nice team and breakfast.
Noisy air conditioning but okay
Perfect place to stay, I only stayed one night as it’s near the airport. But was great, the staff organised transport to the airport and I ate the best buffalo chicken sandwich I’ve ever had!
The staff were welcoming and very hospitable. Arranged scooter at the front desk to be able to get around. The food was good we took lunch at the restaurant downstairs. The room was great, comfy beds and very clean, ac, fan all good. We would not hesitate to return again. We had no issue with mosquitoes that some of the other reviews have reported.
We stayed in Room 3. There was no water in the bathroom when we arrived, this was addressed quickly by our host and functioned again that evening. Unfortunately the next morning there was no water again for a shower before we left for the airport. One suggestion to consider installing fly screen on bathroom window - there was no handle to be able close it.
Nice and clean aircon is good they have hot shower very relaxing place I alway staying here every time I go visit in elnido
I never experience
The staff was helpful, and the room was clean with a comfortable bed and a nice hot shower, which made the stay pleasant.
The staff was quite slow with simple things, like preparing coffee. The location was okay but not ideal having to walk 15 min to the beach in extreme heat wasn’t great and tuktuks charge high prices for short rides One thing that felt uncomfortable was seeing someone (who seemed to be a friend of the owners) not treating his dog very kindly.
I had really bad food poisoning and we were meant to check out that morning but the owner came up with a tray of stuff to help me and said we could stay longer with no charge! I am so grateful! The staff were so lovely. Room was perfect and clean. The breakfast was amazing. Thank you so much!
Great place just outside the busy centre - 5-7 minutes by scooter making it more tranquil. Clean spacious rooms, great fan and AC, cute decor, comfortable bed and great shower. Staff are very nice and helpful. They also have a chill area at the reception where they also serve breakfast. They also offer motorbike rental and day tours - we booked a tour (Tour A) through the reception and were one of the few couples who had a kayak, towel and transport to and from our accomodation included from beforehand! Almost all other people on the tour had to pay extra for that stuff and had paid the same price or more - so that was definitely a bonus :)
Nothing
Very small bed. Not big enough for 2 people. Dirty bedsheets and poor infrastructure. Insects and mosquitoes in the room.
Never in our lives got me and my gf bitten by some bugs so bad in one night. It’s been itching me all day.
Very nice ! Just amazing
The location little bit far Mai’s not really just 10 min from the center. Tuktuk or bike needed
The airconditioning worked well Hot shower was great! Breakfast was OK They offered bananas and water when I got sick
Terrible smell in the room, sheets, towels, water,.. Worst towels I’ve seen in my life: like fleeze and not absorbing. I got sick here. Can’t say it was from them but with the smelly room this was the worst place to get sick at and I only got better when I started drinking bottled water instead of their filtered water..
Close to the airport Good shower Good stuff
Stopped here one night before catching an early flight from el nido airport next morning. Can’t fault anything! Clean and comfortable rooms, good bed linen, pillows and towels. Hot showers. Soap, shampoo and conditioner Staff are lovely and can arrange scooter hire and tours. They arranged an early morning airport transfer for us Location is about 10 mins out of town so not too far and nice and quiet Special mention for the attached restaurant- big daddys bbq - burger was the best I’ve had in Philippines! We highly recommend Island lyfe. It’s affordable too! Thanks for a pleasant stay :)
Nothing
I like how it’s very simple, accessible, comfortable, and had everything we need. Friendly owner and staff. Delicious breakfast choices.
Nothing.
Wifi doest work. The whole room is full with mosquitoes. They advertise craft beers and bakery products. But don't have them.
Took 4 days to respond and still not responding to my recent one.
Overall it was okay. Very close to LIO beach
It is very close to the Airport, less than 5 minutes away, still they charged 300 php for a tricycle there. Clearly way overpriced
I always check in this hotel every time am in elnido coz the staff are very kind and friendly, quite very comfortable, good vibes they also good food breakfast,also available near to lio beach and near to airport, always recommended this place to all my friends.
I have no dislike this property for me this property is perfect..
There was a huge cockroach at check in. The staff who assisted stepped on the bed with her dirty slippers to kill it.
Clean and quite
None
A really nice guesthouse with a great vibe. Nice comfortable room which was clean and cosy. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended. Silvia + family
The hotel is a great choice if you're looking to stay somewhere quieter as El Nido is pretty lively. Me and my boyfriend stayed in room one and the bedroom was clean and tidy. It has clean running water, good a/c and the staff were friendly.
There wasn't anything in particular I didn't like however the WiFi is not the best in this area or in El Nido in general. I tried working remotely in the evening but had no joy.
Hotel near the airport. Convenient if you have a flight early in the morning to avoid traffic. They were also friendly and reponsive to questions.
Hostel style rather than a hotel. Also we were charged extra for the kids even for our baby less then 7months for didn’t even get a cot for her. Understand extra charge when you provide extra beds or include breakfast but not when you get nothing. In total we had to add 1500 PHP which seems a lot for getting nothing extra. Not even more towels
