“Perfect location away from the crowded town. Don't expect the luxury, but enjoy the hidden place, allthough you reach ot by a dusty road. Right at the beachfront with amazing sunset view. Small family run hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, ready to organise you any trip or service you need or order some food or provide you with cold drinks any time of a day. Only hot drinking water available. Simple breakfast, served outside on the balcony. Basic rooms, great outdoors. Loved it.”

“We stayed for 7 nights here and really enjoyed staying at this friendly family run guesthouse. It's at the end of Corong Corong beach which is amazing for sunsets and a lovely 15 minute walk along the coast to the gorgeous Las Cabanas beach which is a great place to relax on powder white sand and great for swimming. There are enough places to eat close by without having to go into the chaotic El Nido town itself. We even ordered take out from a local place. We booked our Tours from here, they are the same price as in town, we also got a scooter from here for a day to explore Nacpan and Duli beach which was a lovely day out. Simple rooms, simple breakfast, all exactly as described on booking.com. We really enjoyed our stay here, and would highly recommend staying here 😀”

“Breakfast in our private terrace, comfortable room, closest to the beach, friendly staff”

“Amazing location on the beach. Super nice, helpful staff. Big room. Good value considering it was the Christmas holidays.”

“Elmer and Ceecel were awesome! Their staff was excellent as well! Very helpful and genuinely nice people. When in El Nido, stay here. You'll be treated as family. I will come back. Thank you all. Peace and Love.”

“The location was perfect if you're happy to be out of el Nido town but on a beach with the best views for the sunset. The family are really helpful and helped us with a lot of our onward travel. Would definitely recommend.”

“I want to start by saying that this has been one of my favourite stay in my life. First of all wherever you find yourself in, you can't help falling in love with El Nido. Secondly the Desert Rose has been a home for us. We spent here three nights and enjoyed every moment. We were so lucky to have the room right in front of the beach and we could enjoy such special "violet" sunsets. Geecel is kind and very helpful, my boyfriend was sick and she helped us with everything she could. Not to mention the loveliest baby on earth, JD!!! Once we met him our stay changed :) I highly recommend this place if you want to visit the area without being in the crowd but still very close to every place it is worth visiting (especially the amazing beach Las Cabanas!!). You can rent/buy everything you need here, van, motorbikes, swimming equipment. Again, I truly recommend staying at the Desert Rose Hotel.”

“The staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you! They booked everything for us and were always happy to see us. The laundry service was a good price. Really nice view of the sea and (depending on which room you are in) you can see the sunrise and sunset from your bed.”

“La vue sur la plage, possibilité de commander un repas le soir à prendre au bord de la mer, très agréable. On se sent comme chez soi. Moto ou tricycle à 5 mn d,El Nido et 5 mn aussi pour la plage de las cabanas absolument sublime.”“0” 

“Heel vriendelijk personeel, goede laundry service, scooterverhuur was prima, ruime kamer met fijne badkamer (warm water!), net buiten het drukke El Nido (10 min met tricycle die af en aan rijden).”“0”
