Went out of their way to help!!
This place was wonderful. We received the best of service and assistance in a very stressful time. We got to El Nido the day before the airportsAnd land travel closed for a month. Was in a panic to figure out how to extend our travel visas and the owner went above and beyond to try and assist us. We where only there 17 hours when the owner advised us to return to Puerto Princessa as there was a concern that they would run out of supplies. Thank you so much for your assistance. We would come back to this hotel in a heart beat. Stay safe.

Room occupied by somebody else and relocated
When I arrived at the reception at 15:00 my room had been given to somebody else, and they didn't have any other room available. I ended up relocated to the guesthouse next door, which was not what I had paid for.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The place was close to town. But the bathroom smelt. There was no air ventilation, due to the windows being closed in the bathroom which you couldn’t open. The smell of the bedroom was the same. The bathroom was very small, you would have to take a shower next to the toilet which didn’t give you enough room. We could see that there were some kind of bug that was eating the wood between the door and the door hinge of the front door. Found that the accomodation was expensive in comparison to the quality of the place

Nice room and comfy bed.
Very nice stay here. The bed was very comfortable and everything was in great condition. The only downside was the construction going on basically above our room which made sleeping past 7am impossible the one day. Also, for some reason the floor was constantly moist, I know it's the Philippines and a tropical country but I live in and travel around Thailand and never deal with hotel floors that are constantly moist everywhere. I did enjoy the place though and would stay here again. Wi-fi was not very good at the hotel.

Extremely basic. Hard beds. Sheets were stained. No breakfast or amenities. Combo toilet/shower. In hindsight I should have paid more for a nicer place or paid much less for a hostel.

reasonable value...get what you pay for.
This is a budget based accommodation, and as such you get what you pay for. It is an adequate room, and shower with air conditioning. I did find for two people it was somewhat compact !! The shower does stand over the toilet bowl...in bathroom. But as I say the price you pay reflects this. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and it is in a good location for everything in El Nido
