El Nido Coco Resort

The property is small and although not right in the beach it is only. ashore walk through the garden and past a few bungalows to the beach. Not sealt a swimable beach, a bit muddy during low tide. The staff were friendly enough but the toilet continues to have problems with flushing so I assume that either the sceptic tank has not been cleaned out for a long time or there is a plumbing problem, either way we solved the problem by putting sufficient water in the plast ic trash can and would use this to flush through after a big message, all in all not nice when staying two nights, and seeing that management did not do anything about this ( as reported in an earlier review). The bar busy the beach is uninspir8ng, no wonder all guests go nextdoor for happy hour drinks! Suggest to take the pool away and put a nice bar area so guest can enjoy sunset with a great bartender and incredible service then you could be way ahead. The owner manager should sit there every day and talk to guests to find out why guests don’t sit there and fix the problem, not rocket science. Breakfast service team and garden pool bar team zaling a good job.

Well, I was rarely disappointed at this level. In fact the hotel has 2 parts : first one with big villas (look nice), restaurant, swimming pool and second one with small houses, bar and access to the beach. To go to the area, you have to get outside the resort, use a common walkway with a house destroyed (see pictures) and then access to the house. We were not lucky because of weather (tropical storm) but the roof was leaking (was repaired, but then another leakage appeared). One villa was flooded… Bathroom with minimum equipment and low pressure/ low flow. No amenities. Mattress so so. Air conditioning was making a huge noise, so you have to choose between sleeping but hot/humid or stay cool but not sleep. Rain was making a huge noise on the roof (the other hotels didn’t make such noise). Construction works on one house starting at 7am several days in a row, not a good way to enjoy holidays… In fact it should be 2 different hotels name, can’t be on same name/brand/pricing. same stan
