We booked around late August 2022, I believed that the hotel was under new management and owned by European couple. The hotel was very beautiful and with great scenery. Their rooms are big, clean, and they provides free breakfast. The location is kinda far from the town which around 15 - 20 mins walk on the beach during low tide. But the good thing is, the location is very quiet and peaceful. They also provide free shuttle to the main road so don't worry if you don't want to walk 😅 If we plan to go back in El Nido, we will definitely book here again! Highly recommended!
They are under new management, and the new manager and chef, Bastion, brings it gastronomically ! Apparently the menu is set daily based on the morning ingredients shopping. We walked in between lunch and supper, yet Bastion opened his restaurant for us, first whipping up the best pineapple shake and mango shake we had in our El Nido stay, Then after I mentioned a chicken and rice interest, he rattled off a bunch of vegetables from which I picked a few. He added garlic and coconut milk while nixing the tomato as I could see the wheels turning in his mind about what he was about to prepare. An experienced chef from the South of France now in El Nido yielded an amazing result as I savored every bite !!!!! Go out of your way to dine here, or better yet, get a room and eat here every day ! He is in the process of redecorating every room and based on what he has done beachside and in the restaurant, this place is the new hidden gem of El Nido.
If you want a place that you can unwind, stress free and have a peace of mind definitely you must book here in Golden Monkey Beach Hotel. Their rooms are clean, organized and comfortable. The hotel is a beachfront accomodation so literally you can just sit down, watch the beautiful view of mountain and hear the sound of waves which is more relaxing. We enjoyed staying here and will recommend it to others who will go to el nido. Thank you maam and sir for a great service that you provided us. We will definitely book here again ❤️😊
DO NOT BOOK! I instant booked on Airbnb but didn't get email directions. Messaged, no reply. Called, she stated the company is closed. Cancellation policy is no refund. She doesn't know how to unlist. I had to work through Airbnb support to get a refund.
The cottages are clean and tidy. However the location is difficult as it is at least a 20 min walk to not only get into the town but to get to a restaurant. There are a few restaurants on the way but variety is the spice of life. The cottages do not serve lunch or dinner so you are stuck having to make the trek to town whenever you want to eat. This is not ideal if you have been adventuring all day. Excellent for weight gain prevention however.
