Great location, just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride from the main beach. The room was clean and had a safe, kettle, and hairdryer. It was quiet at night, and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you! The hotel offers a shuttle service throughout the day if needed, and you can book excursions directly there. Prices are the same as everywhere else, and they provide free tuk-tuk transfers to and from the excursions. I highly recommend taking Tour D – fewer crowds, amazing spots, and delicious food. There are also small shops and local cafes nearby.

The location was absolutely perfect, right in front of the sea, and I could enjoy the view from my room. It was easy to access the beach immediately, so I took leisurely walks in the mornings and evenings. With a restaurant conveniently located within the hotel, I had no trouble finding meals even when dining alone, and I could enjoy my time at my own pace. The staff were all friendly and kind. The hand shower was great, and there was always hot water, which was a plus. The hairdryer was also very helpful. And having Wi-Fi in the room was a great convenience!

The ocean view from our room was awesome. That alone was worth it. They have free shuttle to the town circle from 7am through 7pm. I wish I knew they can pick up from El Nido airport because our tricycle driver got lost finding the hotel. The owner is awesome! He can be my friend forever. The staff is also warm and hospitable. Very nice people in the area. We rented a motorcycle and booked tours through the hotel which was very convenient. The Filipino breakfast feels like home cooked meal. I wish they had fruits included in the breakfast though. The location feels secluded and peaceful even though it is not that far from town. I recommend this hotel to anyone staying in El Nido.

The hotel was well located close to downtown with tricycle service. The staff was very friendly and breakfast made us enjoy and have energy for the island hopping . The hotel needs some renovation, the pillow cases were not washed from previous guests, and the washing stand had a leak causing malodor. The pool was nice and they did have beach access, but it was not proper for swimming.

The hotel is located in quite an isolated place - it is very quiet but the road to the hotel is quite tough: only some of the transport can reach the hotel due to the narrow street which connect the beach and El Nido town. So if you want a ride, you need to ask this hotel to pick you up or drop to the beach (it is free at the daytime). By foot it takes around 15 minutes to get to the town.
I loved the view and the pool, the breakfast is tasty (truly loved the tocino), I enjoyed the service. The room is big and clean.
Definitely recommend if you like a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The place is a little difficult to get to by tuk tuk. Walking is not a very long walk, but at night it is quite dark.
But the charm of the hotel is that it is away from the town and the views are magnificent.
As for the breakfast, a little weak and repetitive. The room is quite good. In short, it met my expectations.
