Dinner was equally impressive, and I appreciated the attentive service while enjoying delicious meals.” view full review

I had a great experience at this hotel, nestled conveniently close to a semi-private beach and just a quick trip to the city center. The rooms were not only kept very clean but also offered some nice extra touches to enhance the comfort. However, I found the dining options could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. The facilities were solid overall, but the pool area felt a bit crowded at times. Overall, it’s a good spot for the price, aside from the need for better dining variety.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was quite pleased with my experience overall. The rooms were clean and came with a great shower and a lovely balcony. The service was accommodating, especially when they made congee just for me. It’s located conveniently close to Papaya Beach and plenty of El Nido attractions, which made exploring super easy. On the downside, the dining options could use some variety, which was a bit disappointing but manageable. Overall, it offered good value for what I paid.
