Reviews of Beach Huts El Nido

Beautiful hotel right in front of the beach with stunning island views. The place is quiet, perfect for relaxation, and the food is excellent. Staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist—even with luggage. Highly recommended for the perfect vacation spot!

The hotel is in a good location off the beach (although this is a bit of a trek if you are carrying your own case). The bar is cool and has a good vibe. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. In high season without the typhoons I can imagine this is a great spot to stay. Close by is a great coffee shop and gym.

Nothing to dislike

Sleeping in a Hut on one paradisiac beach in El Nido is no joke, absolutely amazing, what a view!!!

Great location near the sea, quiet, great sunset, nice AC, staff kept the luggage until check in

Access to the apartment isn't easy as it is not accessible by street, but only by the beach, so avoid having luggage with wheels

Staff are amazing and helpful all time since you check in until check out location is good it's almost near the city Good view for realx and vacation this all

The room was small but well equipped – with a safe, TV, great Wi-Fi, fridge, water kettle, coffee/tea, and even shower gel. A water dispenser with unlimited drinking water was just outside the door – very convenient. The staff was lovely, and the J83 restaurant next door was excellent! While the beach directly in front of the bungalow wasn’t ideal for swimming, the same beach just five minutes away was much more beautiful and great for swimming. The nearby mall with a gym, arcade, and shops was also a nice bonus.

Bungalows are very close together – noise from neighbors can be heard easily. Room cleaning was only done once unless requested. The path to the hotel with luggage can be tricky (sand, sometimes water at high tide). Tip: Ask the hotel for assistance; there’s free Wi-Fi at the McDonald’s pick-up point.

In the beach

The check in wasnt easy, we had to ask for help to find the huts

DO NOT stay here if you value peace, privacy, or basic rest — unless you enjoy loud, trashy music blasting in your ear 12 hours a day. Yes, the view is stunning. The huts are right on the beach — and that’s where the good part ends. The rest is a mess. The room is directly next to the restaurant, which blasts loud, cheap-sounding music from morning till night. Not just “in the background” — I’m talking in your skull, like the speakers are glued to the wall. The sound quality is so poor, it vibrates through the room like a migraine. Don’t expect to relax, nap, work, or breathe without a beat dropping over your shoulder. The room itself is old and tired. Yes, it has what you “need,” but everything is worn out, used up, and decaying. The electricity cuts out regularly. The water pressure in the shower is weak and barely usable. The AC unit broke and made horrendous noise, and it took half a day to get it replaced. All of this while you're just trying to survive the heat. Privacy? Forget it. The local restaurant staff live behind the huts, and you hear them shouting, partying, blasting their own phones, smoking, walking right in front of your terrace — like your space is part of their hangout. You’ll feel like you’re living in a staff dorm, not a guest retreat. No breakfast is included, so I ate at the same noisy restaurant — and that was the biggest mistake of all. I got so badly food-poisoned that I could barely walk for days. I was sick, dizzy, weak, and completely ruined for half my stay. I needed time to recover even after leaving. This wasn’t just “a bad meal” — this was dangerous. And finally — the only saving grace: Marro, the manager. He genuinely tried to help me, soften the blows, and make my stay less awful. He deserves praise. Without him, this would’ve been pure hell. But overall? This place is chaotic, noisy, careless, and not worth the money or the damage to your nervous system.

Front beach and amazing view. The staff is really supportive

the filter water outside our room cold and hot . the view. the kindness of the staff

we were told to call at the Mcdonald for luggage pickup but there is no network there you need to go down to the beach to be able to call.

Top location right by Marimegmeg beach - at low tide its a bit rocky, but at high tide its really nice. Walking distance to shops and other hotels restaurants. Overall a good spot to chill out and watch the sunsets. Rooms literally open onto the beach so you fall asleep with the sound of the sea - assuming you turn off the noisy air conditioner.

Bathroom is basic at best, staff are a bit disinterested, Expensive for what it is.

The location and service was amazing

Nothing

Definitely not worth the money they asking !!!! It has a little fridge but was very weak Tv didn’t worked The water machines hardly never had any cold water inside them Our friends stayed next door resort and for the same price they got a 4 times bigger detached bungalow on the beach with buffet breakfast included and access to a nice pool. The staff was kind and helpful The best part of the staying was a lovely dog, named Bantay. He made our time there so special, we looked after him- he looked after us very well. If you have a chance say hi to him.

The staff was very friendly.. Romar was great , he responded to our WhatsApp calls immediately .

Absolutely gorgeous location! You are literally right on the beach and can hear the waves at night, dreamy! Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, comfy bed, and the team were always there and very helpful. This was even better than I expected and I would have happily stayed longer if I could (I stayed for 3 nights). I would highly recommend! Oh, there is good wifi too (which I wasn't expecting based on previous reviews).

Amazing location and very kind staff.

Problems with hot water and generally water problems .

Location was perfect! We could hear the beach waves as we go to sleep from a very eventful day at Elnido. Will definitely come back for more!

Would be nice to have a breakfast option

Beautiful view, clean, very cold air conditioning. Stunning sunset view. Great location (prepare to carry your luggage across the sand, it's not a huge deal if you're reasonably fit). Comfortable beds.

J83 the bar attached to the hotel was extremely loud at night until about 9.30. No hot water in the shower. The food options nearby are average at best and overpriced, the best options are in town.

The location

Shower not working properly, mosquitos and loud music during the night
