    I was lucky enough to stay in Cottage 1, which is located right across from the pool and the sea. This hotel is very well located, outside El Nido and just a 5-minute scooter ride from the town center. The hotel staff are very professional and incredibly friendly. Everything is perfectly organized, and you have the chance to stay in a luxury hotel with only 20 guests, which guarantees extraordinary peace and quiet. I can only recommend this hotel, which, unlike other luxury hotels stuck on islands where you can't go out in the evening, allows you to enjoy El Nido.

    A little far out from el nido town centre - just to be aware but a quick tuk tuk drive.

    Breakfast options were excellent and delicious. Pool was on the smaller side but sufficient and overlooked the beach. Room was spacious and clean. Bed came with a mosquito net. Bathroom was partially outside and big - very cool and unique but also warm. Staff were helpful. One of us fell really ill during our stay and the staff were there to help call doctors, provide medicine and help with transport to the doctor.

    It's a beautiful outside/outdoor bathroom but the toilet could provide more privacy as people outside can hear you

    It's a beautiful resort, peaceful and quiet. The staff is very friendly. Breakfast was excellent with a restaurant looking out on the beach. The pool has a perfect size just to relax. The design of the room is gorgeous with good facilities and a fridge in the room.

    A Jungle Oasis in the midst of El Nido

    There were two items they need improving. The floor surfaces were slippery, we had a number in our group who fell or slipped on wet and slippery floors. The restaurant had a great variety of food available but this led to long delays in food being delivered to table after ordering

    The location was on a quiet location of El Nido and Corong Corong beach. It felt like a very natural rainforest oasis and resort in the hustle and bustle of El Nido. A perfect setting with the bar and restaurant overlooking the bay and the nightly sunset. The restaurant food had exceptional variety for all tastes. The rooms were exceptional in keeping with the whole rainforest theme. Bamboo construction and an outdoor bathroom a highlight. There is also a good variety of other restaurants within walking distance as well

    Truly Amazing. Stunning Resort

    • Villa with Garden View
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The beach is not for swimming as it is very shallow and the water reaches to your ankles, but they have amazing beaches 5 minutes from the resort. We took trycicles every day and they are very cheap. We also went to beaches 45’ from the resort and they arranged the taxis for us too.

    Where do I start. Such an amazing place. Exceeded our expectations. Photographs do not do justice as it is truly stunning. We booked the Garden Villa and it is so beautiful. Beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, and normally I have problems with them in other hotels. Staff are so welcoming and ready to help you with anything you need. We booked tours, water fall excursions, quads, everything with them. It is cheaper to book the tours with them that to do it with Viator or GetYourGuide. Food is amazing and they brought to the Villa every morning. Quite big quantities but we asked for less quantity the other days. We loved Ensaimadas and Pan de sal, that were not in the menu,but they brought it for us. The sunsets are truly amazing and the swimming pool is perfect as well and we were the only ones using it. Food at their restaurant is very good too. There are many restaurants walking distance but the resort is quiet and peaceful.

    If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet vacation in a magnificent paradise... Look no further. Buko is the place for you. Buko beach resort was our first stop on our honeymoon. It's a beautiful and peaceful piece of heaven. The staff is amazing, always smiling, always positive, taking care for all of your needs. The room is clean and beautiful. The outdoor shower is so cool, it was private and intimate. The restaurant have a variety of dishes and cocktails. It was really good. We loved the pool the most. Located on the edge of the resort and on the entrance to the beach. It really was an unforgettable vacation which we really recommend for everyone. Buko was a great start for us. Hopefully we'll get back there in the near future.

    The staff were absolutely amazing - super friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The location of the resort is perfect - very peaceful and quiet, but still close to El Nido. Perfect location to watch the sunset. You can see that they put a lot of thought, effort and craftmanship into building this place.

    ‘Sea View’ room was actually a view of the restaurant and then the sea beyond which was surprising and disappointing - and not as shown in the photographs. As we arrived we were told of construction work next door. This should have been communicated from the start. The cooked breakfast was pretty much inedible with hard, overcooked eggs. All a shame because otherwise I would recommend this hotel.

    Perfect position on the beach (though you have to walk a long way for it to get deep enough to swim). Friendly, helpful staff and well designed rustic room.

    Location of the rooms/villas in the middle of a very nice garden. Very nice style of the rooms/villas. Very quiet. Nice view on the beach in the morning during the breakfast. Nice staff and very helpful. El Nido downtown, Las Cabanas beach, Tours departure, are all very easy to access. Nothing to complain about.

    Beach is a bit small, but very convenient to relax. is Not a complaint, as there are other beautiful beaches near.

    This is Luxury at its best! You feel like you have your own private property, staff is always willing to serve, is a quiet, secluded area. Beach is roght in front of the property, pool is clean and never crowded. You can completely relax as the staff will arrange everything (at extra cost): airport transfer, Port transfer, trycicle, tours, meals, etc... Breakfast is delicious! Try Philipino breakfast, it is great!. You can also order aditional items (at extra cost), order Calamansi ginger tea, is the best sweat tea I have ever tried. Restaurant view is peaceful, and the service is amazing
