First time staying here and I will come here again. Staff are lovely, location is perfect, breakfast was very good. The only downside to it is the noise from outside, it's not sound proof, this wasn't a problem for me but if you're looking for somewhere that's quiet and no noise this place is not best for you. But like I said for me it wasn't a problem for me so everything was perfect.

AC died had to wait and hour to be repaired, water pressure was pathetic.Hotel was way to noisy, no sound proof, could hear neighbours, street noise was horrendous. No breakfast was prepared for our early departure, bed quilt was to small for bed, and our safe needed new batteries, we had to manually open, coffee machine was broken. Hotel looks great but not run well.

This is a cute little hotel right in the centre of town. The room was very nice and unique in its decoration. The hot water in the shower was quite unreliable and would go from cold to scalding hot intermittently which made it difficult to use. Otherwise, we loved our stay.

Very nice cosy boutique hotel in a well designed and equipped old house. The interior design is fantastic. A lot of little design details such as door/door handle tiles etc The architect used the wooden structure of the original old house and integrated it in the design roof/floor)though unfortunately it’s not very soundproof

Really beautiful room, super comfortable bed and so nice shower! The staff was super welcoming. We had issues with our flights and arrived much later, and they were so kind to give us a delicious breakfast even though it was not included and they absolutely didn't have to do that. It was really sweet of them and so appreciated. :)

The design is unique and sculptural. Staff is super friendly. We felt like we were in a treehouse. Comfortable room! If you are looking for relaxation, however, there is a lot of noise due to poor insulation (motor vehicles and street noise) and construction next door. Somehow, we slept wonderfully! But know that the rooms are quite noisy if you're a light sleeper.

The design of the hotel is absolutely gorgeous. I saw 3 rooms and each was unique and beautiful. The staff was amazing, polite, helpful and always available. As an early riser, I appreciated a friendly greeting whenever I went downstairs. Very walkable area, also motorbike rentals right up the street and trikes (tuk tuk) available at any time. Shopping is very easy. Market within walking distance, beach shops, restaurants, tattoo, etc. not far away from the hotel.

Although every Philippino I met seem to be very nice and helpful. Highly recommend the Rockinnest. Super cool boutique hotel! Rooms are very unique and cool! Pricing seem to be competitive with other similar hotels. Location is perfect! Whole little town is walkable and the Rockinnest is perfectly located. Breakfast included! Full cooked meal, very good, lots of choices! Al recommended some great dishes!! He makes some pretty good tea also!! Definitely would revisit!

Very unique property.. the designer of this hotel had complete freedom and it shows.. very neat ideas.. the two staff personnel were great.. made to order breakfast and coffee as well. The only downside is as many have said the pulsating water pressure becomes annoying. The hotel is on the busy street right in the action so there is noise along with the building next door construction. Neither of those two negatives affected our stay.. we would stay here again..

I am visiting from NYC, it’s my first time in El Nido. Hotel has the perfect location for me for my activities island tours, land tours, scuba diving and exploring the town. Centrally located and close to the center of El Nido. Short hop tricycle ride to Caalan where I enjoyed a nice quiet lunch at Cadlao resort. Close to a myriad of shopping and dining options. Close to other destinations Nacpan, Lio, Vanilla Beaches and the Zipline. The property is well appointed. Love the design of the rooms mixed island, modern touches, exposed rafters, incorporating stone and seashells with the bathroom decor. Great folks here, bar well attended and a good selection of wines from around the world. Great place to unwind and have a glass or wine or two after a day’s exploring the seas and beaches. Highly recommended!
