Stayed here for almost 4 days and felt like I was back at moms for the first time. Genuineness of the staff are on-point and hospitality of the owner is 110% guarantee. Rooms were pretty basic (no fridge, no water heater, noisy & un-adjustable AC, beach front, free breakfast, etc.) but that's all me and my partner needed. The owner is a real pro and will do everything in his power to help you enjoy your stay a little bit more. Owner even advised us tips & tricks on where to go around the island , where to eat, and what activities to do. Definitely will recommend this hotel to everyone.

Honestly, except for the views, there isn’t anything to like. Everything was charged. From the towels to an extra coffee, to the extra room which I paid for a beach front view. The AC was not really an AC.
No one wanted to take the blame from the fact that we booked the beach front view, the agency that booked it and the hotel management. They weren’t really flexible, nor accommodating with our needs. We had to pay extra for towel, for coffee, for plastic bag for wet clothes. Despite enjoying the tours, the stay at this hotel was the most painful.
I would not come back, nor would I recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay, as a first timer in El Nido for vacation.

Not so accommodating.
The food is so-so. Breakfast is one egg and 1 hotdog.
The water causes severe diarrhea.
The water in the shower smells bad.
Being in front beach is good. But they don't inform their guests about the water issue. All 8 of us friends, has been lining up the CRs throughout our 2 days stay in El Nido. Even when we're already in Puerto Princesa, we still experience the after effect.
If you're going to El Nido, buy bottled water. Don't use tap water even for brushing your teeth.

room is okay
Beach front is not that great as what we expected since we had an additional payment of Php 1200. Its not worth it.
Far from the city, it is better to get a room in the city than here because you have to pay for renting a motorcycle for Php 300.00, or you have to ride in tricycle for Php 300.00 back and forth.
You cant wash your clothes after the tour because they said the water is limited but they will offer you laundry service.
The aircon is not that cold.
Breakfast offers 1 rice, 1 egg and 2 pcs of 1 in hotdog. Not enough to satisfy breakfast.
The staff is just okay.
Overall, I dont feel at home in this place because the staff are watching every action you make and you can't enjoy your stay here. Better rent at the city proper.

WiFi was awesome in our room (the best in my El Nido trip, so far) and there's a decent view of the beach. The staff are nice and we were able to kayak and watch a beautiful sunset not far from the hotel.
They just need to improve on their breakfast. Also, our room didn't have any hot shower.
But overall, this was a nice hotel. Not bad at all.
