Quiet

We had a pleasant stay. The staff is very friendly, the room was decent, and the view from the pool was amazing.

Breakfast is served in very small quantities, with not much choice. You constantly have to ask them to refill the milk or fruit, as they only bring a small amount at a time. It’s worth noting that the hotel is located at the end of the bay, so you need to take the hotel’s tuk-tuk every time you want to go into town. It’s only a 5-minute ride and the service is free.

Está un poco apartado del pueblo pero eso hace que estés en una zona más tranquila y apartado del bullicio. Además, el hotel tiene a tu servicio los tuktuk gratuitos para llevarte y traerte al centro del pueblo.

Está un poco descuidado (no sé si por ser temporada baja), las habitaciones viejas y los baños dejan mucho que desear. Tuvimos muchas hormigas en la habitación y también en el baño.

Me gustó la paz y la tranquilidad. La vista desde la piscina y el restaurante. La amabilidad de los empleados.

Clean, neat.

Breakfast was very poor, every tomato was counted. Staff seemed at times very helpful, but also tired and not very servicable. The kitchen did not seem to like when we asked to refill , and gave us a not plesant feeling. The worst part is the location, if you are not mobile, skip this hotel. Every time you want to go out you have a long unconvinient way to go.

The staff at the property were kind and helpful when we needed assistance. The property grounds were well-maintained, and the breathtaking view from the beach in front of the property was a highlight. The food at the on-site restaurant was also good.

We booked a three-night, four-day stay in an oceanfront bungalow. As soon as we checked in, my family noticed ants crawling all over the bathroom floor and in the room adjacent to it. I tried to overlook the issue since we were near the beach. However, that night, when I woke up to use the restroom, I found a cockroach scurrying around. I managed to suppress my scream to avoid waking my family. I attempted to kill it myself, but it escaped. The following night, my son woke up in the middle of the night and found the cockroach again. This time, he managed to kill it. The ants were a persistent problem throughout our stay. We contacted the front desk for assistance, and they brought ant spray to treat the restroom. Another issue we encountered was that the hotel never cleaned our room during our entire stay.

The place looked lovely and fancy, with an immaculate garden and walkways, entry and bungalows, and the view from farther down of the islands is incredible, and the restaurant was nice, while the rooms were also nice, nicely decorated, ignoring the giant TV that we had no need for, comfortable beds, excellent AC, and I was very pleased, and proud that I'd selected such a nice place for my guests.

I'd like to know why the staff found it necessary to play music in the restaurant area at all hours of the morning, day and evening. Why can't there just be silence. I'm not a Buddhist sitting in silent meditation, I listen to music in my car, use headphones to listen to music in my own home, but when I want to think, or sleep, or go outside for a walk, I turn it off. Why can't you turn it off? My son said his water was brown in his room and the staff said they checked the room and didn't see any issues. If I hadn't been sick with food poisoning I may have investigated further. As I was prostrate in bed for 18 hours of my three day trip, and on boats touring for day 1 and day 3, I figured he'd handle it but he didn't. And without evidence, as the staff wrote in an eloquent letter that Claude.ai says they must have gone to hospitality college and used a form to craft, they explained that they would not issue a refund of any kind, thank you ma'am/sir. Which is fine I guess, but I get to write a review and you don't. The road to get here is atrocious and everyone in El Nido should be ashamed of the lack of infrastructure and attention to fixing these issues. The road goes through the beach and at high tide through the ocean. Completely unsafe and unacceptable.

The views are incredible and the staff are very responsive and helpful. Very good value place to stay.

Views

The staff was absolutely amazing in every department from the front desk to the restaurant. The bell staff was so helpful in offering drives to the town center and to other areas that were washed out with mud. The breakfast was absolutely stunning including the breakfast staff.

The only real downside was the bugs, and you cant really fault the nest for that. Mostly the ants were troublesome on the terrace and even in the room. Perhaps some peet control measured could be improved. It did not have a huge impact one our stay however.

Absolutely beautiful place just a few mins from town square, they offer a free ride to town square and back whenever you need. All the staff were really nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable to stay in. We stayed here for 2 nights and then relocated to a different hotel to experience all of El Nido. But I wished we just stayed at this hotel.

When it was high tide you had to go around the steep hill way

Restaurant was okay

Faculty was very stingy with bathroom supplies like toilet paper and towels and staff went through my luggage.

Amazing views

On the last day the smell of rotten sewer filled the room. Moved us to another room but all our stuff was still in original. Nothing was offered.

The resort itself was amazing. The only thing was that the pool pictures on booking.com didn't match the pool in person. That being said, the staff was amazing from the front desk to the room maintenance. But I wish to point out Gino and Ella. Ella meets my family and me every morning at the restaurant on the property with the biggest smile. This impressed me because she worked in the restaurant by herself. She was friendly and inviting, explaining the policies and sometimes going above and beyond to make sure my family and I had what we needed. She offered the best service, and I was VERY impressed. Gino drove us to the Town Square every time we needed to go, had great conversations with us all, and answered questions that were important to us, as we were new to El Nido Resort and Palawan. He recommended tours and left it to us to decide, never pushing or demanding. He would open the door for my wife and daughter to exit and was VERY respectful to them.

I was very unhappy with the drive from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. That 5-hour drive to the resort on 31 May 2026 was terrible because the van's air conditioner broke down an hour after leaving Puerto Princesa. The driver was amazing and apologized for the van's air conditioning. He tried to repair it while we stopped for a restroom break to no avail. I was given back some money for the inconvenience, but the memory still lives in my mind as I sweated profusely. The drive from El Nido to Puerto Princesa was satisfactory. This drive was better than the previous drive since the air conditioning was more satisfactory. The driver took us to eat, dropped us at the airport departure area, and assisted the porter with offloading our luggage. My entire experience in traveling and staying, as well as returning home, was amazing, even with the small, faulty details, the close to perfection treatment by the drivers and staff at El Nido more than made up for the experience. I already made a reservation to return in 2027, partly because my wife and daughter stressed that they want to come back.

We loved staying here! The property was outside of town but the hotel did offer a free Tuk Tuk ride to the town square which was a nice touch. They also offered free rides back before 10pm. Any time we would message them for a ride, the Tuk Tuk was there within 5 minutes. The property also offered free breakfast which was a nice touch.

The only downside was the bathroom in the room was quite small and was slightly dated. We did notice a few bugs in our room but that's also part of staying on a property near water so we did not mind

Que tiene gratuito transfer para llevarte al centro. La piscina y el desayuno.

Es carísimo el hotel para lo que es. Deben reformar los baños porque son antiguos con grifería oxidada. Hay hormigas y cucas en los baños. Y mosquitos también en todo el hotel. 150€ la noche me parece carísimo, para los hoteles tan buenos que me he quedado en Filipinas por la mitad de precio y mejor que este con gran diferencia en todo los aspectos.

Breakfast

The property is in a very nice and beautiful location. Stunning views which I Love so much while having breakfast and dinner.

Breakfast was very good & Location was amazing & perfect! Staff are all very kind!

Small cabinet or drowers for clothes

The view was absolutely beautiful and definitely the highlight of the stay. However, the room was very basic for the price, and the food quality could be improved

Erg mooie kamer, heerlijke bedden, goede airco, fijn ontbijt, zwembad dat uitkijkt over zee. Gratis golfcar die je naar het centrum brengt en weer ophaalt.

Friendly and helpful staff. The availability for free transport to the main street also if you need to return just a whatsapp message and they will pick you up. We enjoyed the swimming pool with open bar for nice cocktails. Good Filipino breakfast. Rooms are good. One of our rooms had suddenly a defective ac. As the ac needed to be replaced we immediatly got another room. Overall a good service!

No complaints.

Personal extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Schönen Resort an sehr ruhiger Lage.

Wie oft in den Philippinen durfte man nur in einer kleinen Zone rauchen. Ich hätte viel mehr Umsatz für das hotel gemacht, wenn ich auch in der Nähe des Pools oder wo man etwas trinken könnte, hätte rauchen können.

Le personnel (très aimable et professionnel) Le shuttle gratuit pour aller au centre ville La piscine en front de mer Le buffet petit déjeuner La qualité de la nourriture du restaurant Les petits restaurants à proximité (Mia's Bistrot)

Peu de lumière dans le bungalow La plage devant l'hôtel n'est pas propice à la baignade

They offer a free shuttle into the town square area and pick up from there. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

We loved everything about this resort! It truly is a hidden gem with a million dollar view of the islands! The staff were incredible and very attentive. The free transport into town and back was an extra bonus for us. We ate mostly at the resort because the food was so fresh and delicious! We loved the location as it’s quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but only a short walk or tricycle ride if you wanted to head there.

Staff members and services

Everything is good

Loved people were very nice and it was a beautiful resort

Comfortable room & bed. The room and restaurant was very clean with a stunning view. The staff were always smiling and friendly. Easy to get a complimentary trike into town.

Very limited food options for breakfast for Westerners, as it’s very geared towards local food and there was no fruit juice available, as they make their ‘fruit juice’ from a packet of powdered sugar mixed with water. The sliding shower door was corroded, so we were unable to close it and the A/C struggled to cool the room.

Notre bungalow était spacieux, confortable, très propre et moderne. L'espace bar restaurant face à la mer est superbe. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est très bien. Le personnel est très aimable, notamment à l'accueil où l'on s'est occupé de réserver nos excursions.

The staff were amazing and very accommodating, except a lady who I believe is the owners wife. On two occasions we witnessed her be extremely unprofessional and rude to her staff. One night she was pacing behind the reception desk shouting and her employees. Other than that, the hotel was great. Good breakfast and good options at the restaurant. We loved the free 5 minute tuktuk’s rides into town. Beautiful sunset!

On two occasions we witnessed the owners wife be extremely unprofessional and rude to her staff. One night she was pacing behind the reception desk shouting and her employees. What makes this worse, is that this lady saw us in the Recpetion area and carried on shouting. This was very off putting and difficult to watch; I’m not sure I would stay here again. What

The staff were very attentive and hospitable. The room was clean and spacious.

Nothing really.

I loved the view from the pool and the breakfast was nice. They also provide a free ride to the main area.

It’s a little far (but still walkable) to the main area.

The location! The staff

One of the rooms ac wasn’t functioning well

I like the neatness of the resort and it has an interesting set-up with a beautiful view of Cadlao island.

It’s the road leading to the resort, although it’s a short distance but I’m hoping the local government will do something about it.

The pool was good The breakfast and restaurant was good Staff were lovely and accommodating

The beds in the room were against the walls and for two people you couldn’t get out. Bed was abit small for two foreigner adults.

Vu sur la mer depuis la piscine magnifique! Service au top. Chambre propre lit très confortable. Petit déjeuner au top il y a de tout en restant local. Personnel sympathique. L'hôtel a un tricycle avec chauffeur pour descendre ou remonter de la ville.

L'accès est difficile le long de la mer mais le tricycle à disposition jusqu'à 22h donc ça va.

Le meilleur c’est les tuktuks ! L’hôtel est un peu éloigné (ce qui est bien pour le calme) du coup avec les tuktuks c’est super ! La vue au petit déjeuner est incroyable. Et nous avons aimé la gentillesse du personnel

Les chambres communicantes et du coup les chambres très peu isolés. Le petit déjeuner n’est pas incroyable, mais il est bien quand même. Petit plus quand même pour celui qui fait les omelettes, œufs brouillés sur demande. Hotel assez cher quand même… Pas de miroir dans la chambre c’est chiant

Friendly, helpful staff, Ela

..

Staff was lovely. Beautiful sunset

Fantastic staff and fantastic location.

Dicht bij de zee, adembenemende view

Hygiëne, vooral badkamer, enorm vochtig

Great location, staff were amazing, having the lifts into town square was so good

Beds are a little small

Amazing view of the bay

The smell in the rooms

The location was close enough to the town center to be walkable, but far enough that you weren't bothered with the noise from town if you just wanted to relax at the hotel. Service and staff were outstanding. The view from the property was amazing; breakfast in the morning with the view of Cadlao Island in the distance was surreal. Transportation was readily available; free if just going to town but reasonable pricing if taking a trip to some of the other distant beaches. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Didn't have any issues during the stay. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to those visiting El Nido.

Amazing views and lovely staff. Restaurant food was decent. Beds were comfortable. Really good shuttle service into town

Bathroom very small with weak, lukewarm water in shower. Air con was quite old and noisy but did work.

Service, cleanliness, Food&Drinks, Location, View

QUE FUE ATENDIDO POR SUS DUEÑOS

TODO BIEN

The location was perfect. On the beach and just outside the busy town. Walkable in 10 mins or Free tuck by the hotel. The bungalow we stayed in was lovely and spacious with cleaning every day. The food was great, breakfast all you need and then their bar menu was equally great. The beach is fairly small but boat trips offer a variety of island/beach hopping. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a perfect experience in El Nido.

Nothing, it exceeded our expectations.

Super nice hotel! Very clean. Very upscale. Great staff. Highly recommended

Super attentive service Awesome free shuttle service to townsquare which you can easily align via whatsapp They went out of their way to help us and offered a shower and towels after we had already checked out to get ready before our flight after a boat day Breakfast is good and they make omelette to your taste Also valid dinner if you are too tired to make it to city center Do watch the sunset :) is gorgeous from there

Location, scenery, staff and services

They could offer laundry

La piscina y el restaurante con vistas al mar. Las zonas comunes limpias y cuidadas. El Hotel tiene Tuktuk gratuito hasta el centro de El Nido , trayecto corto pero al que solo se puede acceder por Tuktuk. El Bungalow es amplio aunque mobiliario sencillo, esta bien para un 3*. Tiene pequeña terraza agradable, con un tendero y grifo exterior muy practicos para limpiar material snorkel, bañadores etc.

Contratamos el traslado con el Hotel de ida y vuelta. Y el traslado para llevarnos desde Puerto Princesa hasta el hotel lo tienen subcontratado a un Proveedor, el cual dio un pésimo servicio. El hotel tomo medidas y nos ha comunicado que van a cambiar de proveedor. El cuarto de baño muy pequeño .La relacion calidad precio, es un hotel que esta bien para 3* pero no para pagar 160 eur las noche y mas teniendo en cuenta que no esta en una zona bonita como Vanilla Beach . Aunque esta cerca del centro solo se puede ir en Tuktuk pues esta en una zona aislada con camino sin asfalto ni aceras

The breakfast was really nice and the restaurant area has a wonderful view. We really appreciated the shuttle service to and from town. It was very convenient. The staff at The Nest were very friendly and welcoming.

There is currently construction on a new hotel taking place directly beside the property, so during the day there is construction noise. While it is of no fault of The Nest, it still made for a less peaceful stay when you wanted to rest during the day.

Great place, quiet and nice few and well maintained.

I had to leave

The tuktuk service into the town square was fantastic, made the experience much more convienient being a bit outside of town. We enjoyed the location and the quiet stay. Bath robes were a lovely touch. There was a local bird that would come look at itself in the mirrored windows that was quite entertaining too. Good AC and comfy beds

Le côté fleuri de l'hôtel est très agréable La vue du restaurant Le service de dépose minute gratuit au centre de El nido

Un peu bémol sur les services non proposés (Linge et massage sur place)

Rolig beliggenhed. Gode rummelige værelser. Sødt personale. Hyggeligt sted

For få solsenge ved poolen og ingen på stranden som jeg havde forventet en god badestrand. Ellers et super dejligt sted

Everything

A bit smaller rooms for 4 people

Schöner Garten und ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, es gab auch exotische Früchte, die andere Hotels nicht bieten.

Preis- Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht, für das gebotene viel zu teuer. Mittelmäßiges Zimmer mit Blick auf Betonwand passt nicht zum Preis. Tourbuchung geht nicht mit Kreditkarte und Reservierung erfolgte erst als wir Bargeld am ATM geholt haben.
