Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Loved the size of rooms and bathroom. Pool was great.

Justin, Australia

The rooms are clean and bed is comfortable, bathroom is neat and spacious and had good amenities. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were overly friendly.

Salem, Kuwait

When we got there we got a warm welcome from all the staff. The resort was breathtaking and so was our room! But what we loved the most was the staff. They were so kind and very helpfull. We especially had a good time with Daryl, Annie, Neel and Walter. They made time for us to play late night monopoly with them, while working hard to serve the other guests. The vibe was really good. Especially Daryl made our stay so special. Always asking us how our day was and it was just like chatting with a very sweet friend. Thank u so much everyone!! - Marisol & Pepijn

Pepijn, Netherlands

Staff were really friendly. Darryl cleaned our room everyday and always had a smile on his face and made conversation. I liked the sisig dish we ordered but that was the only thing that was outstanding. Everything else was pretty average.

Beatriz, Australia

The bed was very comfortable. Nice swimming pool, though it was raining so we didn't get to use it much. The resort is cozy and has a nice design.

Carlos, Taiwan

The personels very friendly and helpful,the food is good,the place is very nice and peaceful.

Henri, Belgium

We had terrible weather but the staff made it for us. They were brilliant, warm and welcoming. We will come again.

Melissa, United Kingdom

The staff made this place great. They are friendly, helpful, sweet, interactive, honest and great at their job. The included breakfast was good with a lot of choices and possibly even brewed (not instant!?) coffee. The staff arranged our island hoping for a good price and were very knowledgeable. The staff makes this place great- the place itself is overpriced and not well built.

Alexandrea, United States of America

The staff and the customer service are the best I've ever had. I also love the way the way resort was set up. It's very tropical, cozy and homey Annie, Darryl, Walter, Dexter and the rest of the staff have made our stay in El Nido worthwhile ftom check in to check out. There have been hiccups with the bad weather and road inftastructure but they don't really matter. If you're looking for a place away from home - this is the place to go.

The resort was lovely. It looked amazing and our room was spacious. Free breakfast was great as well. Kudos to the staff for being friendly especially to Daryl Vacal!!! He was so helpful and kind!

“The Hosts were (McNeil and Ivan) very very friendly and even helped us plan our trip. Food is great. El Nido is definitely heaven on Earth. Lio Vilas resort is located very close to the Airport and plenty of beaches. The motor bike arranged by the resort was a very hasslefree arrangement.”

Mukunda

India

“First of all we really liked the staff. They were very kind, professional and enthousiastic. Furthermore the resort itself is fantastic, romantic houses, nice peacefull garden with noices of animals in the background, great swimming pool, cosy restaurant and nice cocktails. Lio Villas has all the ingredients to give you an unforgetable vacation! You can easily hire a motor or scooter from the hotel or get an tricycle to go to the town. When you walk out of the resort there live very nice local people in the neightbourhood and you can see great nature. Overall in one word: FANTASTIC! Greetings Eric and Nicoline”

눉The location is horrible, it's hard to get to as the roads are rough, this place isn't really a resort! It's small lot with a few cottages and modest pool in the middle. They have a no shoes/slippers on policy in the lobby which is extremely annoying! The flooring isn't even pretty to begin with!

눉The only disadvantage we had was the road to the hotel. The way from the hotel to the highway is around 500meter, but it took us at least 10 minutes, because of the terrible road. But we only see that as a small problem, and we can laugh about it.
눇When we got there we got a warm welcome from all the staff. The resort was breathtaking and so was our room! But what we loved the most was the staff. They were so kind and very helpfull.

“Would not stay here again. Too expensive for what it really is”
- • Leisure trip

눉Location was too far from the centre (but I already knew this since I've read the reviews) about 20-25 mins on the trike. It costs about 300 php (approx $8) each way to get to the centre which adds up if you're staying there for a couple of days and this also means you need to make your trip to the centre worthwhile and get everything you need like groceries etc in one go because it's not worth a trike ride. The hot water wasnt working 80% of the time. Our tour got cancelled and we had nothing to do for a day so we just stayed in our room and wanted to watch TV but that did not work either. You cannot leave food out because ants will come and theres a lot of bugs and mosquitos that enter the room through the gaps in the floorboards. They only accept cash there which is really inconvenient.
눇Staff were really friendly. Darryl cleaned our room everyday and always had a smile on his face and made conversation. I liked the sisig dish we ordered but that was the only thing that was outstanding. Everything else was pretty average.

눉We stayed for four nights, but the hot water in the bathroom didn't really work for 3 days. It was just lukewarn water at beat. Other guests complained about this same issue. We asked Eggs Benedict for breakfast the first morning. They came without the hollandaise sauce they were supposed to come. The second time we order them, we explicitly asked if they would come with the sauce, to which they replied yes, they would. We tried a third time, asked again for the sauce. Same reply, same outcome. No sauce. One of the evenings I went up to the bar to order some french fries, vegetable tempura and quesadillas. I was told we has to wait 1 hour because they just took an order on a big table (the only table occupied in the restaurant!). We still ordered the food, which effectively took one hour to arrive (we had been warned, so no complain there). When the food arrived it was quite disappointing. The french fries were soggy, not crispy at all. The tempura batter was eggy, and the quesadillas were just not nice to eat.
눇The bed was very comfortable. Nice swimming pool, though it was raining so we didn't get to use it much. The resort is cozy and has a nice design.

눉This isn’t a ‘resort’ but the price makes you think it will be. The cabins are shoddily made with giant gaps in the floorboards allowing in all bugs. Sure, bugs are all around- but sealiNg the floor would help. Also no screens on the windows (and no glass, just solid wooded shutters) means you can’t allow in natural air or light!? So even on our breezy night we had to use a/c. They have ‘generator off’ hours which a lot of (cheaper) places have- but there’s is 11-1, or 12-2 when a lot of guests may still be awake. Why not 3-5, 2-5? Or during the day when everyone is out?? Odd choices. There were no pool towels out, the pool showers didn’t work. The ‘shoes off’ in the dining/bar area was annoying because I had strappy sandals. It’s disclosed- but this hotel is far from the town of El Nido, about a 15 min drive. Esp bc the second part of the road is I paved and crazy bumpy. There were marches of ants through our place, a dirty stained chair with trash under the cushion. Super stained curtains. This place is overpriced and not a ‘resort’.
눇The staff made this place great. They are friendly, helpful, sweet, interactive, honest and great at their job. The included breakfast was good with a lot of choices and possibly even brewed (not instant!?) coffee. The staff arranged our island hoping for a good price and were very knowledgeable. The staff makes this place great- the place itself is overpriced and not well built.
