Lihim Resorts

We visited Lihim in El Nido just after a stay on one of the islands. We were welcomed with true Filipino hospitality, and the staff were attentive and always there to support and deliver on any request. The food was better than we were even expecting, and would strongly encourage a visit to Henri’s. The resort itself is incredibly private despite being quite big/busy and is very well designed. The beds and amenities are super comfortable. We had a fabulous time here and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Special thanks to Ben and Hannah for making our experience such a memorable one.

What an awesome experience. From the moment you arrive, they focus on service but also make sure privacy is always maintained. You feel like you have all the space you need, with butler service at your fingertips. Few resorts give you the feeling it is only 5% occupied, well done LIHIM. Food was better than we were expecting, both options were great and cocktails made fresh in your room was a huge surprise. Well done Hannah and Ken, we hope to come back soon

The only other aspect unmatched by the beauty of the island is the service provided by the Lihim staff. My wife, sister-in-law, and I were fortunate enough to have the assistance of Eunice and Mars during our 4 day, 3 night stay in the villas. Our itinerary was nothing short of smooth all thanks to Eunice and Mars, even when we kept changing our minds on what we wanted to do on different days. Need a ride to the villa up the hill? They provided every time. Need a walking cane because you accidentally injured yourself during your island hopping tours? Eunice and Mars were prompt with calling for first aid assistance. Forgot to apply sunscreen on your shoulders while island hopping and now you're sunburnt? Well, you're a grown adult and should have been more prepared. Don't expect other people to undo your sunburn for you. That being said, not even an inconvenient sunburn could undo the enjoyment that was had thanks to the help of the lovely staff. In short, a stay at Lihim Resorts isn't complete without the exceptional service provided by the Lihim staff- Eunice and Mars. If their assistance isn't enough to make your stay enjoyable, then nothing will make you happy.

We stayed at the resort in November 2024. It is beautifully located at the end of the bay in front of El Nido town. Arriving by boat you find a resort nestled on a fairly steep mountain, individual villas surrounded by well-maintained tropical gardens. Our sea-view villa was spacious and provided an amazing view of the El Nido islands. In general the villa and connecting walk ways are in need of some upkeep, as you can clearly see the impacts of weather and time on the wooden structures, but nothing dramatic. It was great to see ongoing maintenance work, including waste-water management, which will be helpful. What made this space extra-special, was the team. Our butlers, Angelo and Neil, made us feel special every minute of our stay. Our tour guide, Rio and his captain, helped us experience impressive snorkeling sites. On three different tours, they went out of the way and looked for the special, less-crowded options. These tours created lasting memories. Thank you! Jun, the tennis/pickle ball coach was fun and created an adhoc competition for us. Lots of fun. Thank you. Last but not least, the restaurant crews. Miles and his crew created special lunches at Hayak beach. At Henris (top of the hill restaurant), Oliver made the evening special with his great service. At Gana restaurant, we really enjoyed the excellent service and humor of Samuel. He eventually taught us Tagalog over dinner. Thank you! Overall, a great place to visit and spend a few days. Make sure to take advantage of the tours offered.

Awesome place! Wish we could have stayed longer. Butler service with Anne and Ellie was top notch! Super cool girls that ensured we had a pleasant experience! Food was great and everyone working there was always pleasant to speak with! Stay here if you like tranquility and good service!

It was an advance birthday celeb for myself and Lihim really welcomes me with so much warmth. They exceeded my expectation.All my requests are given. Ms. Anne and Jude took care of my wants and needs really well. Thank you so much! Will go back for sure
