Great views and Conrado very helpful

Stayed in February 2025

Location is a bit remote, it’s a bit of struggle to go to restaurants/town especially during the night.

The property was pristine clean, from the common areas to the bedrooms and bathrooms, cleanliness was top notch. All the staff were also very kind and helpful.

Unfortunately, they do not offer breakfast (anymore). The staff recommended not to eat at the local places in the same street for water cleanliness issues. So the only options close by are McD and a nice but also pricy café at Vanilla Beach mall.

We and booked the accommodation spontaneously stayed for just one night before moving to our next destination. 
The room was very nice and the staff friendly and attentive.

Please do notice that you need to climb a lot of stairs till the upper floor apartments (between 80-100 steps). For luggage staff is there to help but do take notice of that if there are any mobility issues. For us it was not a big problem. Also bathroom had standing water sometimes on the 3rd floor but the owner fixed it for the time being while we were there and they probably will make changes to the floor layout.

The place is 15 mins walk or 3 mins tuktuk ride to one of the nicest and few swimmable beaches in ElNido (coz usually beached in ElNido main island area are shallow otherwise). It’s called Vanilla beach. The staff is super helpful and would accommodate you well. The owner also organized scooter rental for us. Daily cleaning is very nice to have. The two bedroom apartment was spacious for 4 people. We liked the view from the 3rd floor apartment a lot. It’s a very nice place to stay especially if you want apartment feeling with bigger group. But do notice that there is no kitchen in the apartment. Only tea and coffee kettle is provided in the living room with cups. You also should not leave any food items loose open as in Philippines in general it would attract flies, ants or insects. This you need to take care of in almost every place in ElNido. Closest cafes and restaurants are also 15 mins walk away on Vanilla beach. ElNido town is 15 mins ride on scooter or tuktuk. Tuktuk to town costs 150 PHP one way.

Far from everything, the water in shower very poor, you get nothing more then room and everything is with extra charge and above all 130 stairs to room that nowhere mention before and no help to carry our lagguge upstairs as we came late at night( and tell them before) The place is very beautiful but you get the feeling that you are not very wellcome

Very beautiful place and great view

150 steps to get to the room, no food service, no porters to carry luggage, on street parking, A/C not working installed one foot above the ground attic room can only get out of bed in one side and urinate sitting down or hit you head on the ceiling , no screens on the Sala window, barking dogs at night and road noise. It was like a jail since we could not go up and down to eat. Wife is PWD disabled and can’t do stairs. Had to change hotel. Manager said we could either check out then or tomorrow. We asked if we could get a refund and he said it will take 7 days. Checked out the next day and sent a secure message for refund as discussed for 2 unused days. Manager stopped responding. Had to go back to hotel and ring the bell after 3 days to get him to come out at which point he denied having said a refund is possible are referring us to terms on website. In business two things are important, your word and integrity .This establishment has neither. Found a much better hotel on the other side of the street with restaurant, pool, bar and outside sitting with working AC for 1/3 the price. Keep the two days rent, we won double that back in a. cockfight the next day. Excerpts of exchange with manager attached.

I debated a while to write this but I think its important for you to advertise what you're giving to your potential guests. This accomodation benefits those who enjoy the quiet and peace of nature away from the hustle of el nido town. However, note to those that dont want this. It is VERY far from the actual town which you will frequent. It is at least a 350 peso trip one way which you will need to do constantly. Additionally, there is no lights at all during the night so finding our accomdation past sundown will be problematic. The room i was given, was at the very top of this jungle, give or take 200 steep steps up. Staff dont really exist on the premises, its difficult to find anyone to talk too to voice your questions/opinions. Now comes the real issue with this place. I booked for a week, and i stayed 1 night. 2 BIG issues with this place. 1) The sheer amount of bugs that infest your room at night and bite you constantly. You think with a room in the literal jungle you would at least have a mosquito net. When you go into the room you can literally see the ceiling marked EVERYWHERE with squished bugs from previous tenants. I asked the manager why there wasnt a net, he goes "Oh sir, there was a net but the previous tennant removed it". My friend, i am a new guest, why did you not put it back?? It was because of the sheer amount of insects i could not choose to stay another night. 2) The lack of any running water, the shower is non-existent, water would trickle out , you could not shower if you wanted too. When i asked the manager , his response was verbatim 'Because gravity sir, your room is at the top of the hill water cannot go up" - my good friend that is NOT an excuse, pumps exist, modern day engineering exists... After my first night, i chose to hotel hop within the city centre, the issue is that this place is no cheap either, i incurred quite a significant costly loss staying here.

It was scenic and quiet but thats about it.

It is an apartment with a very beautiful view and it is not that far from El Nido (i.e. a 10 minute motorbike ride). In addition, the host is awesome and is very helpful if there are any issues.

Beautiful house in the hills only 10-15 minute drive outside of El Nido centre. The house is peaceful and has incredible views to wake up to. The host Conrado done everything possible to make our stay the best it could have been, responding to text messages instantly answering all our questions. The best place we stayed during our 10 day trip in the Philippines.
