Отличное место для уединенного отдыха

Отель находится на территории экопарка, вокруг мангровые заросли и огромная территория. Пляж есть, но абсолютно точно не для купания. Персонал вежливый и заботливый. Есть отличный чистый бассейн на территории. Было совсем мало посетителей, так что все 3 дня купания в бассейне мы купались совершенно одни. Континентальный завтрак очень плох, лучше филиппинский. Находится в 3 километрах от главной дороги города. Номера спартанские, кровати тумбочка, кондиционер. Очень аутентичная атмосфера. Мне понравилось

It was good

Overall it was good. But I suggest for them to provide toothbrush dor the stay. And other toiletries like shampoo, tissue, should be automatically replenish for guests who are staying for more than one night.

very homey stay

Had our family stay just 3 days ago, and I’d like to commend their very welcoming and so friendly staff, it was a 13 hectares property ( accdng to them) with 23 staff yet we never felt they’re understaffed. It may be a bit far from town proper but still accessible. Really recommendAble😊💯

8/10 Very good

It is a nice resort for a reasonable price. Staff was extremely nice. Cottage was modest but clean. I missed some cabinet, or a big rack, to put my clothes on (or in). Pool was realy great, and whole resort has a good vibe. Beach was disapointing. It wasn't like on the pictures, maybe because of the time of the year (october). We didnt even swim in the sea there, it was not suitable. Restaurant was ok, nothing to brag about, but nothing to complain.

Likes: Huge property, overlooking the beach, ambiance Dislikes: Swimming pool is too far from the cottages, transportation is difficult, you need to rent a van going to town and its costly.

The road near the hotel is very poor. The hotel pool is only open until 7pm and the meals were adequate but that's all.

Schöne Unterkunft mit optimierbaren Service

Leider war der Service nicht so gut. Die Hälfte der Speisekarte war immer nicht vorhanden. Beispielsweise Happy Hour. Ein Cocktail ist drin, aber leider gibt es den nicht mehr und alle anderen sind zum vollen Preis. Das hatte sich auch leider nicht an den anderen Tagen geändert. Gleiches beim Frühstück oder ein frischer Fruchtshake. Sachen, die man leicht ändern könnte...

Ruhiges, schönes Hotel

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Kitestrand, etwas ausserhalb von Puerto Princesa. Sie Bungalows liwgwn verstreut auf dem grossen Gelände und der Pool wirkt sauber und gepflegt. Einzig die Sonnenliegen fehlen.

Tranquil and beautiful resort

This resort is perfect for me and my husband. We booked 2 nights before going to El Nido. The beach is very shallow for swimming but it was just right for us. During our stay, one of the events was kite surfing. We enjoyed watching surfers doing their stunts. We stayed in one of their cabanas. It was really nice. The place is always cool and breezy because of the presence of all kinds of trees. There is a few selection of food from the menu but always cooked deliciously. Overall, the place ia quiet and beautiful. The resort is a little bit far from the airport but we took a trike ride. There is a portion of the road wherein the ride was rough. This resort is next to another resort and both share same beach. We love this resort and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

10/10 Exceptional

This place is amazing. This hotel is really a grouping of small cottages. As I ate breakfast I was looking at the beach, it was heaven. The staff is superb. We did a couple of 1/2 day tours and the other tourists would get out of the van to take pictures and remarked “oh I wish we would have stayed here!”
