It’s in a bit dirty side road.

Charisma, the owner is a very nice and kind lady. She gave me Tips what to do and was very friendly. The location is directly next to the beach where the island tours start.

It was a short walking distance to all the restaurants and bars yes tucked away so it was quiet and relaxing. The host was very welcoming, booking my tour for the next day, ferry for when I left, and even let me use a dry bag for my island tour. The place was clean which made it more enjoyable!

Charina was an exceptional host & if I could award her 6 stars, I would! At the beginning of my visit, El Nido was experiencing storms that directly affected the power supply of the island. Charina went over & above to ensure that such problems were responded to ASAP…& they were! Upon departure from the Inn, Charina made sure that I had transport to the Airport & also wished me well on my onward journey…..despite it being 04.30am. Would recommend Forest Bay inn to anyone staying in El Nido. Great work!

Charina is a lovely friendly woman. She runs the business efficiently. She helped us with everything. We felt very valued, because she took care of us when we got there completely exhausted after a long journey. Views from the third floor are wonderful. We would have loved to spend more days there.

The entrance to the stay is not on the main road so you have to walk through a small dark road. The room is a bit small and there was twice failures with the electricity (affected the whole area not just the stay). The AC does make a lot of noise, but it worked properly

Very close to the center (5m to the main part of the el nido city). The host was amazing. Speak perfectly English and was very helpful with everything. She allows us to have an early check in and we already had a bike rented waiting for us when we arrived. Very easy to communicate with them. The room also had all needed amenities and had AC and a fan.

The room itself is incredibly small. There is no way this room could fit a couple with luggage. The AC is quite loud as well as it struggles to keep up during the hottest part of the day.

Down a quiet, safe alley away from the buzz of the street but literally steps away from El Nido town square, El Nido beach and loading areas for the tour boats. Staff is beyond welcoming, lovely and helpful. Free coffee, water and tea on rooftop terrace with nice view of the bay.

Nothing all good

Firstly, Charina was a super host. She was so friendly, organised and always available. She booked all of our tours that were great. The room was perfect for our stay. It was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked well. The location is a 5 minute walk from the main street, which makes for a quiet environment. The reviews that mention not liking the lane to the accommodation are a little precious. There is nothing wrong with it perfectly safe.

Perfect accommodation. Room was comfortable, amazing views from the roof top terrace where there was water, tea and coffee. Charina was amazing and went above and beyond to make the stay perfect. Regarding the lane people mention, it is a standard lave in El Nido. Don’t let it put you off!

Host is excellent, helped us with arranging transport to our new destination, even called our next accommodation to help coordinate! Quick responses on whatsapp. Location is very central and great, however you do have to walk down an alley to get to the place, just a heads up!

Stayed in April 2025

The hotel is hidden away from the hustle while still right next to everything. About 5-10 mins walking distance to the centre. Charina was an excellent host, always willing to help and provide the best expirience for her guests. Highly reccomend staying here. Its mentioned multiple times in the comments about the alley to get there from the main road but its a completely safe road, leading to a more local area. Nothing more than that.

The place is very nice. Clean, confortable and well located. Charina has been wonderfull, she helped me for everything I needed. Will definitively come back.

Access to the Inn is through a narrow, dingy, somewhat dark alleyway - not a great distance but a little off putting. My single room was 'compact' & therefore little storage space but the ensuite was adequate.

The owner is very welcoming & helpful. She even lent me a dry bag! Her recommendations for beaches & whete to eat were spot on. There was a verandah for my sole use - handy for drying laundry. Breakfast was taken at a cafe in town which helped you get out & about! Water, coffee, Ovaltine & tea were available on the top terrace. I had both aircon & a fan in my room so could choose which to use. The Inn is only 5 mins from the centre.

Sharina is very helpful. Great emplacement.

The Inn is located ~ 75 meters up an alley that is less than picturesque. Some of the rooms have no view (mountain or sea)

The host was at the Inn most of the time and is super friendly. She is very helpful with booking tours and scheduling transport and is a very nice lady. The facilities are very clean and the location is just a very quick walk to all the activity in town.

Walking through that alley isn’t for everyone

The view from the terrace was great

Charina is the best host eveeeeeer. Already love the vibe of the place, as well as Charina's vibe!! Room and bathroom are clean, place itself is comfortable. Free breakfast is also good (Filipino Taste Buds haha) My phone got soaked during island hopping and Charina let me borrowed her hair dryer and gave me rice to soak my phone in hehe Internet is also strong. However, El Nido's electricity is fluctuating. Thus, internet isn't continuous. Also noted thay Globe Mobile Data is strong in the area. Area is close to TownSquare(?) And maybe 5-10 mins walk to island hopping point. Place is good if you don't like the hustle and bustle of the "el nido" street at night.

The host Charina was really helpful. She helped me organise the trip from the airport and also all the tours.

The only thing I didn’t love was having to walk a dark alley to get there. Other than that it was a great place.

Loved the friendly lady and husband who ran the property. They were very accommodating.

Affordable especially during peak season. Great location, near the restaurants and meeting places to the tours. Plus, Ms. Charina was so nice and helpful with tips and directions!

The place location is fantastic right in the heart of El Nido town. Super easy to move around and very close to the tours start/drop off points. The place is modest but you get the value for the price for the full experience. The partner breakfast restaurant is also good. Charina is lovely and was extremely helpful before and during my stay - always available and very communicative. Thank you so much for making my stay a breeze. I loved El Nido!

Like the aforementioned reviews, the host Mam Charina really went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We arrived at 7 am and although the check in was at 14:00 - she had the room ready by our arrival so we could sleep when we arrived. Also for check out - as my flight was in the evening - she allowed a late check in until 5 pm free of charge. She also provided us with a dry bag for the island hopping. In general she was always there for questions and requests. My brother missed his ferry and she went all the way to talk to the ferry operator and the next accommodation to get a refund. The breakfast restaurants were amazing! The view from the balcony is beautiful and it really is near the town center!

The room was comfortable, small and simple which is all I needed. Literally 1 minute to El Nido beach. The hostess was what made it such a great stay. She was so nice, and organised everything for me. She was so friendly and even let me use the facilities again to shower before my flight. Thanks
