Posizionato in un centro culturale filippino e a pochissima distanza dalla spiaggia più bella di El Nido, Lakwa è ben più di un motel. Stanze ben manutenute e pulitissime, con servizi essenziali ma molto funzionali, staff incredibilmente gentile, accogliente e sempre disponibile per ogni tipo di richiesta. Posto stupendo - e in più hai anche il motorino a disposizione per esplorare la zona in libertà. Meraviglioso.
TODO!! El mejor alojamiento de todo el viaje. El personal super amable. Calidad precio maravilloso. Te dejan la moto para acercarte al centro sin coste alguno. Habitación moderna, impecable y baño perfecto. Aire acondicionado limpio y que funcionaba de maravilla. Tiende citas dentro del mismo resort.
El día que fuimos y a las horas que teníamos el vuelo, no tenían servicio de transporte al aeropuerto (son 10 mins caminando, no más). Pero nos pilló tormenta y a las 4:30am
Was a nice place to stay
Loud music, thumping from above our room till about midnight. The manager did make it right and apologized
Really liked the location…. In many ways it’s better than El Nido the local beach there has better vibes, is cleaner heck better food too.
Kids running upstairs in the school when I needed to sleep during the day
Very near the beach, their coffee and breakfast is great and they have amazing Burgers. Nice bike tours if you are up to as well
Couldnt stay longer
החדרים נקיים ומרווחים המלון נמצא במיקום מעולה וגם מאפשר אופנוע להתנייד סביב המלון יש מתחם מסעדות וחנויות
ישנו בית ספר מעל החדרים שעושה רעש בבוקר שכדאי לציין את זה לפני
Me gusto el diseño del lugar
El personal muy corto (desatento) lo vimos solo cuando entramos y cuando nos fuimos. Poco insonorisadas la habitación en planta alta hay una escuela en la mañana imposible dormir a partir de las 8 de la mañana. Es un exelente hotel si acabas de llegar del aeropuerto o si necesitas salir esta a 500 metros del aeropuerto
Proximité aéroport et plage
Rien
Great place to stay. Great location 500 meters from the Airport, we walked to it. Short walk to LIO beach. We should have stayed here 10 days instead of 4. Great AC comfortable bed. Water and power were better that the other 2 places we stayed. SCOOTER was a nice bonus. Quiet location at night. Best hotel we stayed at on Palawan. STAFF great. Nice Vibe here and lots of good food choices close by. I enjoyed riding the scooter to the Madness outdoor gym 4km away. included with the room. Great equipment at this gym.
We liked everything. School upstairs made noise at 8am but it was not that bad and not on weekends. We slept until 9 anyway. Get up early and grab a coffee on the beach at the many choices on LIO beach.
De offroad tour op de motor
Douch koud
El servicio, siempre atentos y amables.
Quizá el ruido por las mañanas por la escuela. Sin embargo, no es asunto de Lawka.
Todo o ambiente que rodeia este motel é lindíssimo. Inserido na floresta tropical mas perfeitamente integrado. Os funcionários são excepcionais. Pertíssimo da linda praia de Lio
Nada a referir
Touristy... but you get that from pictures and location. Clean, great staff, 3mins to Lio Beach, free bus shuttle to El Nido downtown. But more expensive.
Very modern and clean. Close to Lio beach with lots of different restaurants and bars. The most modern place we’ve seen in the Philippines. Delicious breakfast and even plant-based restaurant nearby. Scooter for free is awesome!
Relatively expensive.
Mela jsem 2 rezervace na stejný termin,hodnocení už jsem udělala.
Hotel se nachází na krásné oblasti u Lio beach.Lio beach podle mého názoru je nejkrásnější pláž na ostrově,ke které z hotelu je cca 400m krásnou procházkou.Hotel je moderní,okolí je velmi pěkné.Večer je tam ticho.Přímo u hotelu je nekolik restaurací,další restaurace jsou přímo u pláže. Hotel poskytuje motorky zdarma.
V ceně není snídaně (kterou ale si můžete objednat na hotelovém baru ).Ceny jsou uvedené v informační příručce,která se nachází na pokojích,ovšem ve skutečnosti na baru ceny jsou o cca 40%vyšší. Na dotaz byla odpověď že před pár dní se ceny zvýšili,ale o 40%??).Důvod nikdo nevysvětlil. Celkově ceny hotelových pokojů a taky v restauracich jsou v teto oblasti vyšší než jinde na Palawanu,ale zřejmě platíte místo,které je opravdu nádherné.
It was close to the beach and airport. The staff were very helpful too. Beer and burgers were fantastic. I’ve already recommended this to family
Nothing
Correct.
Ce que je n’ai pas apprécié c’est que l’on ne m’a jamais rendu la caution que j’ai laissé. Non pas que la chambre ou le scooter ont été dégradés mais car si vous partez tôt dans la matinée pour prendre votre avion personne est là pour vous rendre la caution. J’avais pourtant précisé que nous allions au restaurant le soir et que nous rentrerions au alentours de 22h. Personne à l’horizon. J’ai contacté l’établissement à plusieurs reprise, ils avaient toujours une bonne escuse pour ne pas avoir fait le virement de ma caution jusqu’à faire les morts et ne plus me répondre du tout
Un peu loin du centre et surtout la chambre est petite le lit est coller contre un mur
The whole place was kept very clean. There was a fan and air con in the room. There was also a water tap for hot and cold water in the entrance hall. The staff were very helpful and a credit to the place, especially Alex who we mainly dealt with. The cleaning staff were a delight. It’s a short walk to Lio Beach which is stunning and also has a bakery, lovely cafes and good value street food. It was a bonus having the bikes provided. We were there over Easter and so the children were off school most of our stay and so we weren’t disturbed.
The free bikes need maintenance. Of the 3 our group were first given, none of them had a working rear light, one had no brake light and one of the phone holders broke in half mid journey, damaging a phone as it landed in the road. To be fair, they did more or less resolve these problems once we spoke with them, although the only way we could have rear lights was to have the front lights on full beam, not ideal for other traffic. And we still had a phone with a damaged case.
- Free use of a 1x scooter (with 2x helmets) - No complimentary brekkie, but there was 1x free coffee in the morning. - There's also free potable water so you can just bring a bottle and refill, nice touch! - Very chill place and quite free-spirited, super near Lio beach and Lio airport! So convenience is amazing and you're at the centre of everything (can go south if you wanna go to town or Maremegmeg and can go north if you wanna visit Nacpan).
- If you book during weekdays, the floors above the guest room is like a school so if you're napping, it will be super noisy with kids running around at the floor above you! - Wish there were more fans and mist (?) at the café area as it was really hot during the summer! - Do not expect a pool or any amenities of that sort as it's simply a place to stay.
I loved the style of this hotel, everything was nice and clean. Friendly staff. Location is not so good but they gave us a scooter (which is included), it only takes 15min to get to the town.

Free barista coffee in the morning was a great touch. Very quiet, great location next to Lio beach and the arts and culture estate the motel sits on is a great idea. Easy to get to El Nido town on a tricycle. Checked in late after closing so no staff around but they communicated where to find the keys, just a little tricky finding the rooms after 7 hours from Puerto Princesa!
Room size was a bit small but not important as we were out most of the time.
Great little hotel, modern and clean. Short walk to Lio beach which is very nice and also a short walk to the airport.
Tout ! C’était génial ! On recommande et on reviendra !
Rien
Nice location. Very friendly staff. Early checkin was possible.
Comparable with other locations overpriced. There was no water for almost 12 hours. But as a compensation they offered free breakfast, what was nice 😊.
Very nice rooms and staff. Close to the beach and the bikes included in the rooms come in handy to get to el Nido town and explore the island around. Lio beach is beautiful and provides good restaurants.
Very loud in the mornings due to the school above the motel. Makes sleeping in quite hard
Rooms where really clean. Very friendly peaope an employees there. We really recommend it! Its near Lio Beach!
sehr ausgefallene Unterkunft, besonders toll für Motorrad-Fans!
L’environnement exceptionnel la proximité de la plage et des restaurants
Il était indiqué café gratuit entre 7 et 10 am mais finalement ce n’est qu’un seul café Après on paye
Posizione eccellente, vicino alla meravigliosa spiaggia di Lio e raggingibile a piedi dall'aeroporto. Il posto inoltre è all'interno di un piccolo centro commenrciale tutto perfettamente integrato nella natura. Lo scooter gratis incluso nella camera un plus!

Everything was great! The design is great, breakfast and burgers were awesome and riding a bicycle around the hotel and Lio beach area was great, hard to find something like this in the Philippines. They offer daily Enduro/motorbike excursions and going on one was definitely the highlight of my trip!
Prêt de scooter compris .
Struttura pulita e nuova, arredo camera moderno, locali comuni originali, servizio scooter incluso nel prezzo
Die Lage in der Nähe von El Nido und zum Lio-Beach ist topp! Das Motel ist in eine sehr schöne Anlage integriert. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Beim Check Inn ist eine Kaution fällig. Die Zimmer sind etwas klein, aber ausreichend und sauber. Ein großer Wasserspender steht jederzeit zur Verfügung. Das Frühstück wird frisch zubereitet und ist sehr lecker. Super Service: Zu jedem Zimmer gibt es gratis einen Motorroller für die Zeit des Aufenthaltes. Geführte Motorradtouren sind buchbar, Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Es ist schwierig nasse Badesachen zu trocknen. Wäscheständer stehen für feuchte Motorradkleidung vor dem Fenster zur Verfügung. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist etwas zu hoch.
Estaba limpio y bien posicionado pero no repetiría
La habitación era pequeña la cama pegada a la pared y sobretodo se escuchaba el ruido de absolutamente todos los otros huéspedes por lo que nos despertamos cada vez que entraba otro huéspedes y la ventana prácticamente inexistente ( no tenía luz natural ) ,no se puede considerar ventana
The motel itself and amenities
Wish they did gluten free burger buns haha
Las intalaciones estan muy bien. La cama comoda. Se descansa bien. Te dan moto gratuita.
La habitación olía bastante a humedad, pensamos que por el aire acondicionado que quizás necesitaba una buena limpieza.
Instalaciones muy cómodas, con un gran desayuno y un personal muy amable, especialmente el chico del restaurante del hotel que era muy servicial. Además era muy bueno que la reserva incluía una moto y había varios restaurantes dentro del recinto del hotel, lo cual es cómodo si tienes días de lluvia o simplemente estás cansado y quieres quedarte en el hotel.
Чуть ли не единственный отель на Филиппинах в этой ценовой категории, к которому нет вопросов.
The quality of interior materials is very high, so the room looks new and unworn. It was also very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. An airport might be reached on foot, and it is really very comfortable.
l'endroit. loin de la ville et a côté de l'aéroport ce qui est pratique. le côté un peu roots personnel ultra gentil et serviable
il y a une école en étage ce qui n'était pas mentionné. amateur de grasse mat après 8h00 ce n'est pas possible
buvau nustebusi,kad kambario gyventojams priklauso nemokamai motoroleris,
Good location, close to the airport, lovely beach with nice restaurants very close. Was very good for the night we stayed before flying.
Nothing
Posizione tranquilla Motorino incluso con la camera super comodo Lio beach a 1 minuti Dal centro 10/15 in motorino. Se cerchi relax e spostarsi dove e quando vuoi é perfetto
Hamburger buoni ma cari e molto piccini Camera molto piccola
Établissement proche de l'aéroport et proche des belles plages du nord de l'île. De plus il est situé dans une zone avec des commerces et restaurants de très bonnes qualités. Scooter compris dans le tarif de la chambre, chambre, literie confortables. Endroit très calme malgré l'aéroport à proximité (Pas de vols de nuit).
Pas d'eau chaude dans 2 chambres sur 3 loués. Il y a 8 scooters pour 8 chambres donc pas de flexibilité si le prédécesseur rend son scooter tardivement. Nous avons reçu le nôtre à 20h et nous l'avons rendu à 11h.
Amazing location, clean, comfy bed, friendly and informative staff, and the AC was super quiet!
Wanted to open the window a couple times to let in some fresh air. Would have been great to have a screen on the window to keep the bugs out.
Motorino incluso nel soggiorno molto comodo come servizio, camera semplice ma pulita
Colazione limitata
La ubicación al lado de Lio beach
Amazing spot!!! Loved Our First Night There ☺️
Närheten till stranden, fri moppe. Härlig atmosfär.
La chambre et la qualité des équipements même si c’est Ikea, le lit très confortable +++, bien isolé, fontaine à eau ++, bonne nourriture
Le lieu de la réception n’est pas très claire. L’accueil était hasardeux et pas très chaleureux à vrai dire pour un motel à ce prix aux Philippines. La chambre est très bien mais l’emplacement de la prise est mal pensé, car brancher quelconque appareil est difficile en raison du peu d’espace entre le mur et le lit.
Хорошее расположение, очень ухоженная территория.
В первый день ночью играло караоке до 6 утра. Номера маленькие, спать с открытым окном было невозможно. Персонал ничего не сделал чтобы караоке перестало играть. Выезд в 11 утра. Когда у всех в 12. Не дали попользоваться байком еще 2 часа, сказали что нельзя. Хотя мы предлагали заплатить за это. Принципиальные и наглые люди.
Me gustó mucho esta zona de El Nido, está a un ratito del pueblo pero la zona de Lio Beach está muy bien para pasear por la noche/atardecer, tomar algo y cenar o ir a la playa. La cama es cómoda y la ducha muy bien en cuanto a presión y temperatura (que por la zona no abunda). El desayuno está muy bien también y las instalaciones son chulas. La moto está incluida, eso está genial porque en el Nido son más caras que en otras islas.
Algún miembro del personal no hablaba bien en inglés y tampoco fue muy espabilado al comunicarse. Pero en general bien.
Lakwa is located in the new, beautifully designed pak-like resort of Lio beach. It is very close to the airport of El Nido and the resort has the beach, multiple restaurants and modern facilities. The motel itself is also modern, well equipped (good shower) and nice atmosphere. Because of its distance from downtown El Nido (8km) it offers a free rental scooter. Finally, the resort has a power back-up for power outages.
Only recommendation is a safe and small refrigerator in the room, but we didn’t miss it.
We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was delicious, and although the location is a bit far from El Nido town proper, it was totally worth it. The peaceful surroundings, fresh air, and relaxing vibe made it the perfect escape. Being surrounded by nature and stunning views of Lio Beach was a highlight. Plus, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, so dining options were never a problem. Overall, a wonderful place to unwind.
I hope they could offer a family room or accommodation suitable for bigger groups, as we definitely plan to return. This is truly a wonderful place to stay with my family.
Motorbike Vibe, food, staff and great location
Na
An oasis! Cool spot with food stalls, wine shop and retail within the circumference of the accomodation. The area is very relaxing and is a visual feast. A minute or two away from the beach, it’s nice to be so close and we loved to retreat here
Wonderful place close to the nature and Lio beach amenities. We went there because of the typhoon and we were really lucky to find this charming place. The bed and pillows were amazing. As the shower. Scooter included is such convenient. The bar opened really great.
Just improvement point because asked : The door giving access to the rooms might by noisy. Electric plugs are hidden and not to obvious to see.
Todo , esta super bien.
No hay mucha opción de cena. Y no hay opción para vegetarianos :( las hamburguesas están deliciosas pero si llevas varios días, ya las has probado en un par de día todas.
Location, environnement , very clean and good equipment
Food not various and not local and a bit expansive
Génial pour la proximité de l’aéroport d’El Nido. Le prix comprend un scooter pour se balader. La proximité de Lio beach. La chambre est très bien. Il y a la climatisation. Cet établissement est idéal pour les petits budgets et/ou la nécessité d’être proche de l’aéroport d’El nido
Fresh and cleaned and good service
Located inside of Lio beach area where you are a bit disconnected. The weather was bad so we really just hung out at the location and went down to the beach. Recommended to walk up the big road if you want to try a local restaurant. Red horse was cold thank you Ken
Everything
Scooter gratis para moverse por el Nido, la habitación muy cómoda y la cercanía con el aeropuerto
Great location for airport and easy walk to beach. A few restaurants on site
Restaurant Staff ( not sure if they are we employed by hotel) but very slow to clear, more interested in their phone in Thai restaurant then in bar empties weren't collected for hours. Doors are noisy closing
Good location ,near lio beach. free use of motorcycle
El hotel es chulísimo, está muy bien decorado y las habitaciones están fenomenal. La ducha es una maravilla. Sin duda la relación calidad precio es fabulosa. Además el caminito de unos minutos a la playa es muy bonito y la playa es la mejor del Nido. La atención al cliente también fue fantástica
Por ponerle una pega, eche de menos una carta con comida aparte de hamburguesas en el bar.
