The atmosphere of the place is amazing, the breakfast is super varied and healthy and the staff is so attentive, hospitable and helpful.

They make you feel at home from minute one, as soon as you arrive. The cabins are very nice and all the spaces are clean and tidy. Another advantage of staying in Banana Grove is that you can rent motorbikes and book boat tours right there. It has been an incredible experience and the site is highly recommended, if I could come back, I would repeat!

Offering a garden and garden view, High Chaparral Cottages is located in El Nido, a few steps from Caalan Beach and 300 metres from El Nido Beach. This guest house provides air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace.

Amazing hospitality in a vast space, just a few minutes walk away from El Nido, yet far away from the tourist hubbub for peace and quiet. Rarely have we felt so warmly looked after as a family, we were sad to say good buy. The multiple free ranging animals were a huge bonus and joy to the kids, we were provided much assistance with arranging tours and other travel needs. We had an amazing time there! Also important to note was their supply of water as the property includes a well, tested yearly for drinking water quality, so where the rest of El Nido, even famed bars at prime locations was struggling with providing clean water to wash hands, we had no such concerns. I truly recommend this place, especially if looking for a simpler, quiet and enjoyable time with family

Located in El Nido, less than 1 km from El Nido Beach, Woodland Inn provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking and a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi.

I arrived early to check-in, but wasn’t able to be accommodated until 12pm, which the owner allowed me to stay in another room to at least shower and freshen up until my room became available. I felt like I was in a treehouse and loved how secluded and private the place is away from the noisy city. The breakfast was amazing, especially while having it on the balcony. The staff was very accommodating and set up a driver to take me to the city as well. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to relax after a long day of water activities.

    Great location. A few minutes walk from main street but on the quiet end of street so can’t really hear any noise. The place is right next to the beach and major dive shops and restaurants. The room was super clean. They cleaned the sand mess we made many times. The host Laura is super helpful and nice. Can see she put a lot of work into the place. Be prepared to have a relatively basic room but you have everything you need! Such good vaue for money!

    Gordo and Cristina are formidable hosts, very kind and helpful. I initally booked 2 nights there and ended up staying 5 nights. The guesthouse really feels like home with everything needed and easy to socialise with the hosts and other guests. It is located in a district of locals a bit outside the crowd of the city center (but easily reachable at 10mn walking distance), which was pleasant. The room and bathrooms were clean, the breakfast very good. I'll surely come back next time I go to El Nido.

    The owner and all of the staff were so nice. It was a pleasure to see and speak to them every time we walked in. The room was comfortable and clean, the aircon was great, and having a balcony to dry towels is a bonus. The location is nice and quiet, and only a 10-15 minute easy walk (or 150 peso/£2 tuk tuk, which the hotel can provide) to the main street in El Nido. We hired one of their scooters too which was cheap and in great condition. The included breakfast was great as well.

    Room was very spacious and clean. Well maintained. AC was quiet. Staff are very approachable. There are 2 massage chairs you could use after a day of tours. Location is ideal if you don’t want noise. Local market beside the hotel where fruits are relatively cheaper. Corong-corong beach is just behind—lovely beach very fine sand like flour.

    The location was pretty good, not so far from the city center and with a nice beach at the back of the hostal.

    We stayed in a 4 bed private room with our 2 kids. Had its own bathroom and little balcony Great location at the quiet end of El Nido and only a 5 min walk to the main area You need to walk through a little fishing village to get there which is really cool (locals are very friendly) Very friendly and helpful hosts who go out of their way to make sure you have a nice stay. Try the banana pancakes for breakfast, real good Great budget accommodation!

    I liked everything about this hostel. Its cheap. Its near the town proper and all the food. Its located in front of the beach. The place is super clean. The staff are exceptional. I mean it is cheap but their service is not. And they are really nice. Even the staff in the resto downstairs always smile at you. Rooms are mixed and communal but have privacy due to the doors in each bunks and guests are really mindful of others. They are quiet. If i ever come back in el nido i will stay here again
