Golden Monkey Cottages

I had an amazing stay here! The staff was awesome and my accommodations were perfect. The only thing I didn’t like was the convenience of getting to and from El Nido. The hotel provided free transportation but only to the main square.

It was a run down hotel. It was dirty and black mould throughout the room. The bed was like sleeping on a rock. We actually moved to lime resort and it was fantastic

personnel aux petits soin

Dejligt sted, stille og roligt. Venligt personale

Cute little cottages just a short trek from town. Tricycle able to take you back and forth--do need service to call/whats app them to request it.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE this place!!! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and met every expectation. The staff made sure we had "to go" breakfast on a morning that we were leaving for a private boat tour, so kind. The dinning area is incredible; we could've just sat there for hours as the view was perfect! Right on the water; so beautiful. Food was great. We walked to and from town, for us no big deal only a short walk to everything. The grounds are as clean as they could be and so beautiful with the flowers, trees, rock walkway, and little sitting areas. Our "cabin" was perfect, air conditioning worked very well, clean, and just what we needed. We would recommend this place to everyone and if ever in the area again would stay here. Thanks for such an amazing stay!!!

Our cottage, Unit 1 had a fabulous view of the ocean. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly and always attentive to the needs of the hotel guests. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and families.

Koselig hostel med hyggelig personale. Fantastisk utsikt og flott restaurant hetl i strandkanten. Stranda er fin, men ikke noe særlig å bade på. Veldig langgrunn og full av stein. Ligger litt kronglete til, men gratis tuktuk transport til sentrum fra 06 til 18. Enkel mat og grei frokost i porsjon

Golden monkey cottages is a little gem in el nido. Slightly off the beaten track to one side of the town square, but easily accessible by Tuktuk along the beach. Its charming rooms (people say definitely get a front cabana, but we had room 13 with a beautiful view of the bay) have aircon/and or fan, fridge, and comfy clean bed. Considering it is the same price as the hostels, it’s a bargain. The food is perfectly adequate, even the apple sauce with your bacon in the morning is endearing. Nice bar overlooking the bay is a nice place to meet travellers and swap stories. But the best part of the place is the staff. They cannot do enough for you and nothing is too much trouble. They can sort out any problems, and the answer to most of your questions is ‘yes sir, no problem’. We loved it and would recommend it to people like us who are not looking for luxurious standards. Thank you golden monkey cottages.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Monkey. The staff was great. The breakfast in the morning was good and filling with strong brewed coffee served by a nice girl named Vanz. There was another server, but I missed her name. The wonderful July at the desk arranged our tour and rides to the airport. Pads the tuk tuk driver was great, also helped carry our luggage to the second floor room with a great view. It’s not a high end resort, but very comfortable with a short ride or 15 minute walk into town. Beach was good for shelling. Not great for swimming. Best beach for swimming is the Corong Corong side or El Nido town.

Views wonderful. Noise around area and within property disappointing. I was awoken quite a bit by staff, construction workers, loud guests. Staff gave misinformation and was not prepared for transport when said would.

We love the staff service and the view of the resort. My kids loved our stay at it that they don't want to leave the place already. We fell in love with the view at the resort location. We also love the breakfast options, its free breakfast, and its free tuktuk service from/to the resort. We will definitely come back here.

You would have the best view if you’re staying at cottage 1.

Great value for money

Was a relaxing stay with the splash of the sea & the awesome mountains around

I booked room one, a family room, as it was the last room available at the time. I didn’t need the additional space but it was worth the additional cost for the view. There was seating and two sun beds on the deck overlooking the bay. Unrestricted water views. The hotel isn’t new, but gets five stars for the view and the excellent food.

Good, quiet location right on the waterfront, comfortable room, good rates, and above all extremely helpful, friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay and made the most of our time.

The place has been updated, but it is very basic. The view is stunning and the bar/breakfast area is gorgeous. The hotel has a ‘free’ tuk-tuk, but the tuk-tuk is conveniently broken once they have picked you up at town-square… one of the staff has his own tuk-tuk, which is 200p should you want to use it. We stayed in the sea view cottages, right next to the bar/breakfast area - the guests are extremely noisy and inconsiderate. So there was no ‘romantic sleep-in mornings’ as the screaming kids kills the mood pretty quickly. One evening the staff had a birthday party right in front of our cottage with loud music and loud talking - at 23h00 one of the other guests came out to address them. They were also drinking straight from the bar between the other guests. Over all, the view is absolutely stunning, but the staff and facilities needs an upgrade.

A beautiful location on Calaan Beach, which is just an easy 5-10 minute walk into town. The cottage I stayed in was basic with just a ceiling fan, which is fine for me, with a very tropical jungle feel to the rooms. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept immaculate. The breakfast included was simple, but delicious and the view from the restaurant/bar everyone morning is memorable. Really enjoyed staying here and not in town centre. Would return on my next visit to el nido.

Our stay was great. The rooms were spacious and we stayed in one on the seafront so had a lovely view. The food was also very good however they could add a few non pasta based options. The staff were very helpful and organised transfers, trips and laundry for us. The drains in the bathroom did smell a lot of the time however we are aware this may be common in the phillipines. The towels were clean however they left residue on your skin as though they were shedding. Overall would recommend a stay here

Got “upgraded” because they doubled booked with someome else so last 2 days were booked at a nearby hotel. It was a massive downgrade, checked prices, much lower than what we spent per night, room was 2/3rds smaller, smelled like mildew, dirty, air conditioner louder than a full washing machine full of trash. Dusty as all hell, no shampoo or soap, overall trash experience. This was booked 3 months prior to leaving and then we were notified to move less than 2 weeks prior to arriving. No reimbursement, and no notice of actual new hotel until literally the day of transfer, they couldnt provide the name because they probably didnt want us to see the massive downgrade to their sister company. Terrible experience, regardless if the first hotel room wasnt half bad. Terrible managing of our stay, no thanks

Du Unterkunft war abgelegen in einem kleinen, sehr charmanten Teil, nördlich von El Nido. Super interessant ist der Weg, da die Unterkunft (auch mit Roller und Tricicle) nur über den Strand erreichbar ist. Die Garden-View-Bungalows sind sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet, lediglich die Bäder sind etwas spartanisch. Anders bei den Beach-Front-Bungalows. Die Bäder hier sind sehr modern und haben besseren Standard als die meisten westlichen Hotels. Die Bar Anlage lädt zum sitzen und Meer genießen ein und es wurden, unüblich für El Nido, sehr gute Cocktails serviert. Eine der gemütlichsten Anlagen auf unserem Trip, auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

Some of the reviews were very dramatic, and frankly not a reflection of the experience I had at Golden Monkey. I loved the rooms, decor, bar (albeit intermittently attended), hammock and quick access to the beach. I would recommend taking a separate tricycles if you have anymore than two people and bags, otherwise your third will have to jump off during the narrow streets to the hotel! Also loved the cats Frida and Melon, their very own in house Golden Monkey!

We are very happy with our stay, the view was unbelievable! win win! Free breakfast was also a plus, basic Filipino Breakfast and they do serve European Breakfast. Walking distance to the town square, and we walk along the beach to get to the town square. However, the sign on the street is so small that the tricycle driver have to ask me several times the name of the hotel which increases my suspicion if there is such a hotel or not. :) The road going to this hotel is so narrow that no car can fit, but only tricycle or motorcycle.

Bad experience! Couldn t sleep, insects biting us while in bed, didn t know what it was, we were constantly using mosquito cream.before going to.sleep but no effect... Then, the third day we woke up at 6 50 am, with the bed full of ANTS, big ones, on our head , hands, body, didn t stop coming, horrific experience to wake up like this!! The stuff super unhelpful, they offer just to change the sheets😅, because the cause of the ants is natural, the rain is coming,maybe🤣🤣. Also, refused to.pay us back for the next night that was paid already, but we checked out anyway and addressed the problem to booking! Avoid this hotel.at all costs!

This property is such a gem! I love how secluded and peaceful it is, away from all the noise of the town. It's also beachfront, so you can go for a dip whenever you want on the clear waters of Palawan. Since it's secluded, it's a little far from the town proper, probably a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute tricycle ride which they offer for free, just message them whenever you need a ride. Our room was at the 3rd floor which was so spacious, we had our own balcony with a hammock and the best view of the waters. Staff is amazing too, July at the front desk helped us out with everything, from van transfers to booking a massage, she was so nice and truly the highlight of our stay here. The other staff at the restaurant (breakfast and evening), and the kuyas who drove us with the tricycle are all so nice and warm andbalways very accommodating. It's free breakfast too! Only wish is for them to have more breakfast options but otherwise everything was so great. I'll stay here again in a heartbeat when I go back.

It was amazing!

Das Hotel ist direkt am Meer und nur zu Fuss oder mit dem Tricycle erreichbar, was das Hotel kostenlos anbietet. bei Lowtide, kann man am Strand entlang laufen. Bei Hightide isst man im Restaurant wirklich direkt am Meer..näher geht nicht mehr. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Bathroom was very old, needs a remodel, towels were old and floor matt was a rag

Super hôtel en front de mer sur la plage, seul bémol nous avions loué une voiture et nous avons eut la désagréable surprise que nous ne pouvions accéder en voiture à celui-ci. Il faut prendre un servie gratuit de tricycle mis à disposition par l'hôtel ou une petite marche de 15 à 20 minutes pour rejoindre le centre d'El Nido. Mais cela fait également parti du charme de cet endroit une fois avertis. Sinon bungalow très propres et confortables. Excellent petits déjeuners avec une très belle vue sur les îles.

Very relaxing place, clean and good staff. Keep it up. God bless

NEVER BOOK THIS HOTEL, IT IS SCAM. This hotel has been the WORST EXPERIENCE of my life. Upon arrival, we found out that THERE WAS NO HOT WATER, the shower drain didn’t work, there were hundreds of ANTS, COCKROACHES and the staff is the rudest thing ever. We were able to spend half an hour in the room because we couldn't even take a shower after a long flight, much less sleep there surrounded by bugs. I've been in much better hostels than this supposed 3-star hotel, which isn't even super cheap. We had to book another hotel and Golden Monkey Beach Hotel did not want to give us a refund. The staff is rude, threatening and we were honestly scared of staying in a place like that. In addition, there is no security at all, it is very noisy and it is far from the beach and the downtown. ————- NO RESERVÉIS NUNCA EN ESTE HOTEL, ES UNA ESTAFA. Este hotel ha sido la PEOR EXPERIENCIA de mi vida. Al llegar, nos encontramos con que NO HAY AGUA CALIENTE, el desagüe de la ducha no traga, hay cientos de HORMIGAS, CUCARACHAS y el personal es lo más maleducado que existe. Pudimos estar media hora en la habitación porque no podíamos darnos ni una ducha después de un vuelo largo y mucho menos dormir ahí rodeados de bichos. He estado en hostels mucho mejores que este supuesto hotel de 3 estrellas, que ni siquiera es que sea súper barato. Tuvimos que reservar otro hotel para pasar nuestra estancia y Golden Monkey Beach Hotel no nos quiso devolver el dinero. El personal ha sido maleducado, amenazante y sinceramente da miedo estar en un lugar así. Además, no hay nada de seguridad, es muy ruidoso y está alejado de la playa y del centro.

Nice little cottage away from all the city noise. Right on beach. Wake up in the mornings and simply take a few steps to the water

This is a fabulous place with sublime sunsets and the beach on the doorstep. Wonderful accommodation, walking distance to El Nido. The only problem is needing a scooter into town but it's not really a problem and the hotel accommodates so well and the tuk tuks are free. Staff couldn't do enough to help us, a really wonderful experience, book here for your perfect stay in El Nido !

super emplacement avec très belle vue de la terrasse pour le Petit déjeuner. calme. le tricycle vous amène a volonté au centre d'el nido. sinon 15' de marche. location de scooter a côté. restau un peu cher pour les philippines. il vaut mieux aller diner aux cantines autour du terrain de basketball.

Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast options and in generell good food, close enough to all the bars and restaurants directly El Nido, amazing view and not many people but still close to everything

Wifi wasn’t working for the first 4 days we were there, was rather inconvenient

Our trip started with waiting 45 minutes to be picked up from the airport which perfectly summarises our experience at golden monkey. Btw, it costs 400p and you need their scooter if you have bags because the normal population of scooter drivers can’t fit down the narrow alley which leads onto the main beach. If you just have a small bag, consider taking a scooter from the airport and walking the 15 minutes to golden monkey. The staff tries hard and there was always hot water + aircon in the room. However, this location requires a ride to town which was often 15-45 minutes after the requested time making it difficult to meet for tours/dives which require a fixed meet-up (usually 8 or 9am). This is further complicated by the mad rush for breakfast when it opens at 7am and a 30 minute wait for (instant) coffee being the norm and another 15+ for food. The other major consideration about whether you’d be happy with this hotel is the noise from dogs barking (and reproducing) is 24/7 and roosters start crowing from 545am onwards making it very difficult to get a good nights sleep.

What a disaster…the internet sometimes works sometimes don’t. The breakfast is really low quality, the third night my new towel was smelling fish, I have no clue what they did with it before but I couldn’t even touch it. The glass in the bathroom for your toothbrush was disgusting with yellow moisture marks at the bottom, other (funny thing) one of the two glasses in the bedroom had lipstick mark on it … should I ask that they closed the whole restaurant/internet section for a whole day so that the owner could have a private Christmas party…what you need to know also is that you are 15 minutes walk from the town, after 10 pm you’ll have to walk in the dark, in the mud and even have water up to your knees to cross the sea( yes you read this write: given the high tide at night this is the only path to come back at night from the town)….

Such a great property. Staff was great, Anna was very helpful. Our room (15) was on the 3rd floor, all stairs, but the view on the balcony was beautiful. Bed was nice and firm, AC unit and ceiling fan was really good, but only thing that I had a problem with was that the shower drain was a little clogged and no one ever came up to unclog it (but that did not change my view of how nice the property was). Eating area was nice and open, but if I were to really be picky it would be all the cars that roam around the area cause I’m allergic. Another downside to the property is how to get there from the main road. A little rough but manageable. But overall I would come back and suggest it to anyone.

Prima maar zoals meeste plaatsen te duur voor gebodene

Aces direct à plage, excellent restaurant

Absolutely beautiful property with awesome place to sit right in front of the water. Best view. We arrived very late, the property communicated with us quite well and arranged our pickup as it’s not accessible by car. They send a very cool little tricycle that drove us along the beach and down a narrow pathway to the property. Was fun and made it even more of an experience. Comfy bed and basic but nice room. Awoke to the stunning view and a nice free breakfast :) would stay again for sure

Super freundliches und sehr hilfsbereites Personal. Das Hotel befindet sich etwas abseits von El Nido, allerdings wird dort ein persönlicher Shuttel zum Strand, bei Bedarf, kostenlos vom Hotel aus gestellt. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und die Geräuschkulisse sehr angenehm. Kostenloses Wasser kann man jederzeit unten an der Bar abholen bzw. wird einmal täglich in der Minibar auf dem Zimmer nach Reinigung aufgefüllt. Das Restaurant mit Meeresblick war einfach traumhaft schön und ist wirklich zu empfehlen, da dort auch europäische Gerichte angeboten werden. Immer wieder gerne! :-)

Very nice accomodation. Amazing food in the restaurant by a French chef. Well recommended. Just some troubles with the water pump during our stay, meaning there was no water for a few hours, but that’s part of the things that happen when travelling in a country like the Philippines and can’t really be helped. They are a little bit away from El Nido town, but provide a free tricycle to get to town and back, so that’s really not an issue.

This property has new owners There is still a few issues they are working through however based on my experience here this will be a fabulous place to stay for my future visits

Enjoyed our stay. We found it difficult to get to when we arrived, we weren't told to notify hotel but were lucky enough for a local to ring for us when they saw us walking with luggage. It is a fair but enjoyable walk to town or a very interesting bike ride across the beach.

My wife and I spent three fabulous nights at the Golden Monkey. Our room was literally on the beach, although elevated for privacy from beach walkers. Sitting in our beach lounge chairs, we looked right out at Cadlao Island (see pano shot) Our spacious room had a king sized bed, vaulted ceilings, a fan, air conditioning, hot showers, and complementary shower gel and shampoo. We couldn’t ask for more. The free breakfast options were delicious and the atmosphere in the common sitting area was superb. Best of all the guesthouse is within walking distance to El Nido town but in a completely secluded and quiet stretch of beach. We would highly recommend the Golden Monkey to other travelers.

The bedroom and bathroom provide the minimum. However everything is really clean. The receptionists and security guard are lovely and will always try and make your stay great. The situation of the hotel is ideal as next to the center but on a quieter beach. I really recommend this hotel for à El nido stay

We arrived to El Nido after a four day boat trip and were delighted by the comfortable, clean room with amazing views of the bay. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to check out late after my husband got food poisoning from a restaurant down the street. The hotel is prettier than the photos. For those looking for a quiet spot outside of the hustle and bustle of town, I highly recommend. Note: the WiFi is very spotty and they only serve breakfast so be prepared to take a long walk or tuk-tuk for dinner. FYI for those visiting El Nido: you cannot swim at the beach as the water is contaminated in town. Be very careful about the water and what you eat. We may have considered staying at another beach town had we known that this.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Room was clean but noisy. It is very difficult to get to the property, as not every tricycle can get there, so you have to walk another 10 min or call hotel to send them their tricycle which you have to pay for it. There no restaurant at the property, and all restaurants that are nearby are overpriced. On their leaflet it said free transfer when you checking out but as we found out free transfer is only from hotel to main road. As we needed to go to local airport, we had to pay extra.

The hotel is in a quiet area around 10-15 mins walk from town but it has its own tricycles and can drive guests to/from town. Rooms are quite basic but spacious. The restaurant has a beautiful view on the beach. It is not possible to swim in that area because the beach is rocky. Staff is generally helpful Overall pleasant stay but overpriced

We stayed over new years, when everyone had elevated prices. Golden Monkey is located a short walk outside of el nido town. Their view of the bay is great, it is right on the water. it is not a beach you can swim as it is too shallow and covered in rocks, but looks nice and you can walk along it to get to town. We had an AC room without a view. Room was large, AC worked well, water pressure was great, wifi was decent for el nido. Breakfast was not great, they didn't have 1/2 the things on the menu and some of the meals are significantly less food than others. The only common area is the restaurant, which only serves breakfast. While overall expensive for Philippines, it was good value compared to its neighbors.

The place has a very nice view of the other island if you choose it on your booking. Beach is a bout few feet from the balcony. Can hear waves at night .Clean comfortable , has AC and electric fan in the room. Very nice people . The place is about 15-20 min walk to the main strip for eating and strolling around. It is only accessible by a small tricycle for the road is very narrow going there.

We spent three days at Golden Monkey and we loved it. We had a first line bungalow with the waves splashing us when relaxing on the terrace. The room is not special but is good enough. It is 10 min walk to the main beach/ sea tours departure point and close to Havana Restaurant (really nice!). The staff is very helpful and the breakfast is rather small but good. The best thing about Golden Monkey is the spectacular view from the room terrace. During one night there were strong waves and it was more difficult to fall asleep but that's it ...

Stayed here in July 2019, we were a little unlucky with the weather as it was in the middle of the wet season. Not far from the town itself, 15 minute walk along the beach or 5 mins along a rather rough track. We had a room right on the beach with lovely view of the nearby islands. Comfortable large room with nice hot shower in the bathroom. Enjoyed our stay here, even in the rough weather.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was quiet and very close to the beach with great views. Staff was nice and breakfast was good. It was a bit out of the way from the rest of the town but I enjoyed the walk .

We didnt stay here, but we booked all our private island hopping tours through Golden Monkey. They partner with Dos Hermanos Boat and the crew that was assigned to us was very very good! They were a crew of 4 and all were very friendly, accommodating and gave best service. We highly recommend them! If you guys want to do island hopping, pls contact them and ask for Marvin. You may also contact him via 09306601957. We booked 3 days of private tour A, B and combi CD. The food they served us were a feast and we were just 3. The boat we used was big enouh for 15 pax but they let us use it. What a service!

Everything was basic and unworthy. Visited this place after spending 6 days at Boracay with my family . Had great expectations but our excitement ended when we checked in to this hotel . No proper management , no food available at this place , secluded area where you won’t find any restaurant nearby ( you can if walk 3kms on a tiny street ) no proper wifi , no electricity most of the time (stayed here for 3 nights) geyser non working. Basic rooms at prices equal to 4 star hotels . Chosen this hotel on Reviews but it was a big disappointment. Though the sightseeing n lagoons were unbelievably beautiful.

We stayed 3 nights in a bungalow overlooking El Nido Bay (room #6). The view from the private terrace is simply breathtaking, with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The owners and staff are extremely kind and helpful, breakfast comes with a wide range of choices. The lush garden gives the whole property a very pleasant atmosphere. The room was simply furnished but clean, with a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The terrace comes with a hammock, table, chairs and small bench. The bathroom is a bit spartan but also clean. Water pressure in the shower is rather low, but that seems to be the norm throughout El Nido. The only drawback is the distance to the downtown area (15-20 min on foot along an unpaved road) - but that's the price you pay to stay in a really quiet place. Also, the hotel has a very friendly driver who can drop you/pick you up at the edge of the town for a small fee. All in all, a very satisfying stay, I would definitely visit again.

most of the food listed in your menu are not available. you should have a choice of jam not only calamansi jam.

I had a very enjoyable stay here. Very friendly owners and staff, they made me feel very welcome. The sunset view is spectacular! I was mesmerised daily. While a little way from El Nido centre, it only takes about 10 minutes to walk there.

an aged property in a hard to access part of Caalan beach. For some reason normal transportation from el nido do not go to this area so you have to arrange pick up from the property. this easier said than done and took us lots of effort to communicate with them. You should also be aware that Caalan beach is not a place to swim during low or high tide- do not let others tell you otherwise. We were here for 3 nights and did not see anyone swiming in it. Our net take is that the Caalan beach area is the least desirable place to stay in el nido and prices asked for stays here are high and not worth it. Golden monkey not worth the price you pay.

Stayed at this place for 3 nights. Place is quite peaceful & neat. Love my companion during my breakfast , A cat and Dog...if I have a chance to go back to palawan will definitely will stay at this place . Arline Law from Singapore

Plus: stunning views; nice cottages; A/C; Drawbacks: Must walk a mile (or tricycle) on wild dog path (1 bit my partner)

Great staff and a beautiful property set away from the bustle of downtown... but still close enough to walk!

The room was really nice and clean with a balcony that had great views out to the sea. Some other rooms didn't have any views though. Our toilet didn't flush. The staff were helpful. Breakfast is included and is ok thought a bit simple. The location is nice and peaceful away from the main town of El Nido although could be a bit of a trek every time you want to go out for food or do an activity. There is a tricycle service for 50php each way to the end of the road. The hotel seems to be missing a trick by not having a bar or restaurant. They have a breakfast area with tables and chairs overlooking the sea but they don't serve any drinks or anything except at breakfast.

It was a nice place with friendly staff who was always helpful. Room was big, but bathroom very very tiny. There were some amenities missing, such as a shelf in the bathroom or the roll for the toilet paper. Air con and fan were working properly, and the small fridge too. Location was nice, 10 minutes walking from town so definitely quiter. But there is not a real beach there, Caalan beach is mostly rockly and dirty..

The only hotel I’ve stayed at in the Philippines who hasn’t been able to help us with transportation (within Palawan). Air condition stopped working. Couldn’t pay with card though it said they could in description in front desk. No beach nearby and it’s not easy to get there, bumpy road and you’d have to walk very far or pay the hotel to give you ride with tricycle (other tricycles wouldn’t go there). Hotel had no restaurant and there’s only one restaurant nearby where it was really expensive. Breakfast staff was very helpful and friendly. The room had a stunning view over the ocean, but that’s it.

Golden Monkey is peaceful, friendly and simple with beautiful views and just the right distance from the bustle of downtown El Nido. You can walk to town in about ten minutes or take the hotel’s private tuk tuk. The staff are friendly and so are the family cats (LB likes to sit on laps at breakfast time!). You can walk five minutes along the beach to swim, and snorkel when the tide is higher. There is thriving coral right there. We had a nice room upstairs with a big balcony with a picture-perfect view. Highly recommend.

We got the tricycle to Lally and Abet resort as instructed but struggled to call them on the numbers they gave but eventually they sent their guy. The lane is narrow and we would not have found it on our own or managed our suitcase as being rainy Low season the path was muddy and being rebuilt in parts. A lovely warm welcome and great room upgrade as they were doing renovations. Great view from our own veranda where they served us a delicious breakfast as we were the only guests. Lovely well kept Gardens and peaceful space. The beach here is rocky but easy to walk to a sandy area and out to the point or to El Nido 10 -15 mins the other way. Restaurant was closed but nice meals at other nearby resorts and little shops in the lane to buy drinks and snacks to supplement those in the room fridge. In season and when all the renovations done it will be great. So friendly and helpful staff.

Not worth the price

Tive que sair daquele overnigth camping, pior lugar que ja estive, e fiz minhas reservar encima da hora adorei o hotel , a localizacao fica a uns vinte minutos do centro , mas adorava caminhar para jantar , muito bom hotel

We booked this hotel after a night at a hot and noisy hostel and wow, what a difference. Peaceful, unbelievable scenery, and the nicest staff who helped schedule tours and rent motorbikes for us. Breakfasts are delicious. Sunsets are a must-see every evening. And definitely schedule tours with them because the boaters they work with are awesome!

Was pleasantly surprised - really wasn't expecting much from the photos, but we were given a great room on the 3rd floor w a fantastic view from the balcony. The air conditioner broke one night, but they were prompt to fix it, and only other improvement that could be made is if clean towels were provided daily and wifi could be better, but otherwise this is a lovely place to stay. You're central to downtown, with a 10-minute walk that is actually quite enjoyable through the local village, the rooms are tidy, and the staff is lovely. The beach is not swimmable, but you'll want to take the island tours anyway so it's not a big concern. Overall would definitely recommend.

While the road (trail) in is super cool, and the greeting by staff was very welcoming and professional, the wheels fell off after that. Rooms are tired, power outages, maybe two minutes of hot water, and zero replenishment of basic room supplies, like instant coffee, toilet paper, etc. For the price, the value just isn’t there. Bad monkey.
