Best place to stay in Nacpan!! It was my first time in El Nido and indeed people in Nacpan Beach Villas made it memorable. All the staff are very welcoming, helpful, and polite. Hazel was very helpful and accommodated our early check-in request as we arrived at 7am. Very thankful for everyone especially to Marv for accommodating our request as well, we wouldn’t have a stress- free last day in El Nido and we wouldn’t have enjoyed our tour on our 3rd day if it weren’t for him. I definitely would come back and 100% recommend. :)

    Great location next to the main town in El Nido. The staff were lovely and the room was very clean. We had all our basic amenities and the air conditioning worked very well. There was filtered water in a cooling machine just outside the rooms which was a huge plus for us - no need to buy bottled water everyday! It’s simple accommodation and we enjoyed our stay.

    Very nice location, not far from the crowded street of El Nido but not far either, easily reachable by foot. Room was essential but comfortable and very clean, they offer different options for breakfast prepared for you as you order. Very nice and friendly stuff happy to help you anytime. I believe there is not better value for money around there. Specially if you travel alone and you are on budget don’t look any further.

    This is really the best affordable place!! the location is perfect after a night out !! We booked the room with the bunk beds, it wasn’t that small for us! They told us that they started building the place last July so that’s why you can still hear some construction noise , buuuuut not big of a deal! we enjoyed our stay and we will book again with this hotel!! I really hope the price won’t get too high tho . The guard and the receptionist are super nice!!!! WE LOVE THEM!
