    - Hotel is very nice overall, but in my opinion rooms need a bit of renovation. There was mold, the shower had low water pressure. - Poor communication before arrival - hotel rarely responds to emails, messages or calls, which for me was stressful, since our ferry from Coron to El Nido was cancelled and I couldn't get in touch with the hotel. - Breakfast could be improved, not much choices for people used to Western style breakfast. - Staff is very friendly but service has flaws - empty soap dispenser, missing towels, and getting a call few minutes after checking in, asking what time I want my airport transfer when I'll be leaving (which was in 3 days). I don't think many guests want to think about leaving right after they arrived. - Far from El Nido town (300 PHP tricycle ride). I think the hotel could think about organizing free transfers, which would be very helpful for the guests. Overall, unless you want to stay in the hotel/beach most of the time, I’d probably recommend getting a hotel closer to the town. For me, the price is a bit too high for the standard of the hotel and it's mostly worth it for Lio Beach.

    - Spacious rooms with comfortable beds. - Lio Beach is right outside the hotel. - Many restaurants and bars near the hotel. - It's quiet and peaceful. - Nice and helpful stuff. - Close to the airport, plus free airport transfers.

    BOOKING.com FAILED US. Booking.com did not provide us the correct information about the accommodations. We were a group of 7 individuals (2 couples + 3 solos). Booking.com insisted us we NEEDED to book 3 rooms, as follows: 1 Queen room = 1 queen bed + 1 twin bed plus 2 Family Rooms. Each Family Room = 1 queen bed + 2 twin beds. I questioned Booking.com about their 3 bedrooms recommendation 3 times on 3 separate phone calls because looking at the configurations, it meant we only needed 1 Queen Room and 1 Family Room to accommodate our party of 7. Booking.com told us the twin beds were only for little kids which is why we had to book according to their recommendation. Upon reaching the resort we learned that the twin beds were regular sized and can be used by adults! Each of the 3 rooms we were told by Booking.com we NEEDED TO BOOK had the following EXTRA 4 BEDS: 1-2-1!!! Upon check-in we were told we didn’t need the 2nd Family Room but it was too late for us to cancel. Booking.com SCAMMED US into getting a 3rd room that we didn’t not need!!!

    The staff provided world-class customer service from beginning to end! Kudos to Huni Lio’s management and staff for having their daily operations run like a well-oiled machine. Every staff member consistently made you feel truly special and valued. They are professionals who went above and beyond in making sure you have a wonderful vacation while staying at their property. The entire property is beautiful, clean, modern, and crisp. The restaurant has a great menu and on occasion even accommodated quite a few dish requests that are not on their menu, at no extra charge! They just based the prices on the most comparable items in their menu.

    The hotel is located on a beautiful serene beach away from the hustle and bustle of the town of El Nido and the surrounding village offers several good restaurants. It's just 5 minutes drive to the airport and 15 minutes drive to town. There can be good surfing right off the hotel beach at a couple of close surf breaks. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I would definitely consider staying here again.

    Breakfast choices are limited and repetitive, like the juices. The food would be too salty or too bland on different days. During our stay, there was an on-going painting maintenance at the pool area so we couldn't really swim because of the paint smell.

    I would highly recommend Huni Lio to my relatives and friends if they plan to go to El Nido. The location is near Lio Airport (El Nido Airport) and they have complementary airport pick-up and drop-off. There are other restaurants / establishments nearby, but far enough for you not to hear the noise when you're inside your room. The room is cozy and spacious. Bath essentials, like toiletries and towels, are available upon request. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, my relatives and I enjoyed our stay!

    Stayed at this hotel and was absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment we arrived, it became clear that the facilities were even better than what the pictures show online. The hotel has an elegant boutique atmosphere that perfectly complements the stunning Lio Beach location.What truly set this stay apart, however, was the incredible service. Every single member of the staff went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional. It’s rare to experience such a high level of warmth and professionalism—truly some of the best service I've ever encountered at a hotel. From personalized recommendations to thoughtful gestures, the staff made us feel special throughout our stay.If you're looking for a luxurious yet personal experience with top-notch service in an idyllic beachfront setting, I can't recommend this hotel enough. I can't wait to return!

    The location, staff, and their services. Very close to the airport (walking distance), free pick and drop off. If you want peace and a quiet, relaxing place? Then, this is the one for you. The room was clean. Clean and Well maintained grounds, the beach was cleaned every morning. No sellers or offering massages along the beach or anywhere on the grounds. It's very private, you can swim by the beach or pool without thinking of other people watching you. If you want to go to El Nido town, it took about 15 mins ride on a tricycle for 300 pesos.The food was great, very nice pork sisig. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff were amazing, attentive, kind, and courteous, especially GAME, who gave us insights about the place, the island hopping tour we were planning, thank you and of course, to all staff from reservations team, driver, reception, housekeeping and restaurant staff, thank you so much. Basically, all locals are kind. My family had so much wonderful fun experience, and my kids don't want to go home.😁. We wish to go back again. Thank You Huni Lio 😍

    We got the room facing the pool, and it was lovely. The resort was just the right size, with the basic things that we need. The kids enjoyed dining at the restaurant because it was at the beach. Our little one was able to play with sand while we enjoyed our drinks. We loved seeing the squirrels playing by trees near the restaurant. We were lucky to see monkeys as well! We love the Filipino food they served, and the staff were very accommodating, too. We hope to be back here with other relatives.
