    In need of a makeover, some parts show some wear and tear. A little on the expensive side of things

    Perfect position, pleasant layout, lovely swimming pool, friendly and efficient staff

    The room we initially had (Room 109) smelled like molds or wet wood, it was a really bad smell. I have allergies with molds which made it hard for me to breathe when going inside and staying in the room. I had to endure this for 2 nights (I just wear mask when indoors) until I mentioned it to Kate who agreed to move us to a freshly cleaned room (Room 111) and it helped me sleep much better that night. Thanks a lot for the quick action on this. :) Please make sure the rooms are well ventilated all the time - helps prevent molds or provide air purifier for each room.

    We enjoyed the pool and the nice vibes around it. The staff were very kind, accommodating, and really nice. The breakfast buffet is not much but they try to have a good selection daily. The hotel itself is very near Lio Beach which made it very nice to swim early in the morning.

    Boutique hotel no bathrobes, bar hardly ever open, no cushions in sun loungers (in case it rained) no meals/snax available in restaurant other than breakfast. Was quoted 1200 pesos for a tuc tuc to Corong Corong Beach, walked to road where it was 400 pesos

    Location was perfect for Lio beach. Celebrity Suite was spacious and staff decorated the bed beautifully for our anniversary. Free afternoon ice cream, good price for tours, free airport transfer.

    The place is abit tired and could use a facelift. Our balcony door on ground floor wouldn’t lock properly, television didn’t really work on our room, but my mums room was fine. It’s also a shame there’s no in house laundry service.

    Lovely location, right on the beach and close to restaurants and bars. Breakfast was included and it was very tasty. The pool was really nice and big and the staff were extremely helpful. The room was clean and big enough for family of 3.

    PERFECT location on Lio beach, staff are super friendly and helpful, only issue stopping it from being a 10 is the breakfast , if you go between 7 and 8 it is packed and food is very slow to be replaced when empty, the food tastes good but the selection is very underwhelming and offering selections I would never had considered for breakfast , squid adobo , carbonara , they have an omelette station which is great but gets very busy , a couple more western food items in the selection would be perfect , overall its still a good breakfast and great place to stay

    A laundry service would be good. There is a laundry place 800 metres from the hotel but no pick up/delivery service, so walking in the heat is not attractive. No written information about services available in the room which would be helpful.

    Location excellent, breakfast was good (Nice Omelets). Staff are helpful and friendly, nice pool. Generally a pleasant stay and reasonable value for money given the excellent location.

    We checked in late and front desk woman seemed annoyed. Our bathroom door locked (or got jammed somehow) and it took 2 trips by staff and about 15 minutes to get it open. Rooms were clean but definitely showed wear. Breakfast buffet was almost inedible but staff was nice.

    We needed a one night stay near the airport and this fit the bill.

    -The rooms need an update/renovation. The furniture, walls, plugs had plenty of damages and marks… -The staff was not very attentive or welcoming. Several times when passing through reception we were not greeted.

    -The location and pool area -Breakfast was fine, but a bit basic, missing more options. The stand that served eggs was great though

    It’s more on the pricy side compared to other hotels in El Nido and also relatively far from the El Nido city.

    It was well-located, close to the beach and restaurants. The beach was also very clean, comfortable and peaceful. The hotel was also very aesthetically pleasing!

    I did not like the schedule for transport to the hotel from PPS . It was not very flexible and really did not suit our needs.

    I loved the fact it was a beachfront property. The location was great for our needs.
