EL Nido Hotels with Bars

My two nights stay at El Nido. I took a single room in this hostel. Room: Very clean. Bed was comfy. AC performance was Ok. Bathroom was clean and had hot water running, had bath gel and shampoo. Wifi worked super. Service: Staffs are very helpful. I must mention about Kaye who helped me to choose tour operators, food places and things to do in El Nido. Breakfast was fine- american brekafast, some local item and fruits+tea/coffee. Every monday they do a movie night from 7pm at their dining area. Boarders can use manual washing machine for free. Location: Superb. Only 8/10 mins walk to the happening area of El Nido beach. Las cabanas beach is only 8/10 minutes by tricycle. Airport is around 15/20 mins away.

The facility itself is nice but for the my version of a 5 star rating the resort would need to meet the standard of Peninsula Tokyo or the Park Hyatt in Kyoto. Unfortunately the facility doesn’t not meet that standard. What will make up for the lack of the amenities, cleanliness and attention to detail is the service provider. From the front desk to the waiter and waitress, to the cleaning Male/ladies, the service staff will go above and beyond to meet your needs. Last draw back is the sand flies (nik nik as the locals refer to them) are pesky little suckers….literally which makes one hesitant to enjoy the beautiful beach on the resort…which then leads to you missing the beautiful sunrise and sunset that one would expect in paradise. Over all, yes i would gladly return to this facility. It is probably the best on the island but I cannot on good conscience say the this is a 5star resort.

The hotel location is OK, 10 minutes tricycle drive from El Nido, but right on the sea. Rooms are clean and very basic, feels a bit old. Pool is great. Housekeeping kept forgetting to replace our towels, and when we asked for new ones in the evening, we’ve been told that there’s only one available now and all others are being currently washed (what?). It’s a nice and basic hotel but definitely doesn’t worth the price.

El nido, Palawan is one of the tourist spots visited in the Philippines. With that being said my Family decided to go on a vacation in this place. The moment we arrived in Puerto Princesa airport it was exhilarating imagining what more there is when we arrive in El Nido. From there we had a roundtrip airport shuttle provided for a surcharge which is available upon request. We stayed in El Nido Garden Resort hotel for four nights and we had the best experience. The place was spacious and immaculate, the staff were accommodating, the food was amazing and the view was breathtaking. Outside you can take a stroll and or swim even at night since they have a swimming pool. You can do recreational activities there and wrap it up with a drink at their mini lounge/bar. Their location is very accessible to many Beaches if you wanted to visit some such as Lio and Nacpan. At night you can also come to restaurants around the area but I assure you the foods in this hotel are enough to satisfy your tongue. They are open at 7-9 AM, your hunger will surely be gone. They have big air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen televisions each. Every room has private balconies and you can even hang your damp clothes there! Private bathrooms have showers complimented with toiletries and hair dryers. You can make yourself at home there and relax while taking some time off.

The staff is amazing. It’s right in front of the beach. Great atmosphere. The rooms don’t have WiFi it’s only available in the lobby. This can be a huge inconvenience! Zipline is outside etc. the bike rates and boat rates are more expensive than the neighbors. Save some money and rent these outside! Breakfast buffet is so so. Come with cash they don’t swipe.

The first words of the staff is “welcome to paradise” and we can only say it was truly experiencing paradise. From the first second at lounge arrival to the last second of departure there was an amazing, friendly and personalized customer care! The hotel environment , the room, the food, the complementary boat trips all was excellent and gave us an incredible experience to never forget and … to return back to☺️

Fantastic hotel! Lovely, clean pool and beach area. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The shuttle from the airport was very easy and the staff were friendly.

It's not a good idea to travel alone. You pay a deposit first, and the necessary expenses are paid from it, so you don't have to pay anything during your stay.Also, you can generally be satisfied with the activities included in the hotel plan, so there is no need to make reservations. You can truly forget about the world. Please note that transportation must be booked up to three days in advance, and activities must be booked up to the day before. It seems that the marine plants and animals on the beach in front of the hotel are being carefully protected and nurtured, and there are signs of regeneration. Even now, there are various plants and animals in that narrow cove, which can be seen from the pier, and is a great place to snorkel or dive. It is very fun. The air conditioning is so comfortable that you almost forget you're in the Philippines. There is also hot water in the bathroom. Above all, the staff are very hardworking and I would like to hear about what kind of employee training they do. The activities are also very interesting. Meals change daily. I think it's delicious for the Philippines. (In general, the food is better in Thai-Vietnamese food. I have the ingredients, so why not?) I wanted to get back the frying pan and make the omelet myself. If I give you the recipe for dessert, will you make it for me? )g The only thing is that the drainage system is weak, and there is an ammonia smell in the shower room. This is a common problem throughout the Philippines, and may be a fundamental problem with the piping system or construction technology.

Lihim looks great in photos. We stayed here for a week for a family vacation. The tours offered by Lihim were fun and beautiful, and going into town was nice for variety. The butler service is much appreciated, and Ellie and Mars were kind and responsive. We enjoyed watching the sunset from our villa and going around El Nido by boat. However, there were multiple substantive issues during the course of our stay, and for safety reasons, I cannot recommend staying here for anyone. First, the resort is not accessible and you can only get to/from your villa by car. Anytime you want to go to the breakfast, dock, gym, etc. you need to call the butlers to arrange a car pickup as everything is built into a cliffside and it is very steep. There are stairs that can be used, but they are not well-maintained and require care and attention going up and down. More lighting to get to/from the villas from the car drop off points are needed to see well at night. We travelled with fit but elderly parents, and thankfully they were okay but moments on the trip pushed their limits. Second, the deck and pathways are not maintained. There used to be a furnincular but it is not currently available to guests. There are parts where the railings of our villa and the stairs to/from car drop off to the villa were wobbly. This made us nervous given how steep the resort is. There were also several instances where maintenance was doing a repair on the furnicular and left a bridgeway area exposed so an inattentive guest walking to their villa could easily trip and fall into the gap where the walkway should be. Each time, we had to request help. As a group we started to call out to each other to check, and were grateful nothing happened, especially at night where the stairs' visibility is poor. We also had maintenance issues (no running water) for our villa the first night of our stay. Third, the dock to take the boat for any tour (including to the private beach) is not stable and is a floating dock. On our first day, the swells up and down made it very challenging to walk on the dock safely to return to the resort after the tour, and there were moments where you basically had to squat and hold the ground with your hands to not fall. They were making some improvements while we were there but I am not sure if that issue has been entirely repaired. Fourth, the food was terrible. The breakfast was alright, but food at Gana was barely edible - the only item our group enjoyed off the menu was the grilled cheese, and even still the bread was very sweet and there wasn't enough cheese. The food at Henri's was acceptable but nothing incredible. Service at Gana was very slow - one night, we waited over an hour for our dishes (served cold) and the waiter never offered us any water refresh or anything in the meantime - later, after it was clear we were very upset, they gave us a complimentary cocktail, but it would have been much better if they just simply checked on us, refilled our w

I really liked the hotel. Good location away from the center, there are scheduled shuttles to Lio Beach and El Nido. At first I was confused by the size of the room and the side window, but the hotel itself is very beautiful and green. It is better to take a room in a category higher than standard. The staff is very friendly. You can book a tour.
