"It is truly an amazing hostel with the most incredible view where you can chill and have a meal BUT they don’t tell you how hard it is to get there with a suitcase. There also has been some mix up with the storage lockers, because they are not numbered my stuff got moved without my knowledge by a member of staff to accommodate another guest, and when I returned from a day tour I found some of my belongings were just lying on the floor and that wasn’t very nice."

"This is a great spot for meeting fellow travelers and organizing tours from. Like others have said, definitely a party hostel with free drinks from 7-11 pm. The private room bed we had was pretty hard, so a little rough sleep. Breakfast and coffee included in your stay. There are quite a few restaurants nearby or its an easy ride into El Nido town proper. "

"The worst DIVE ever. Upon walking in to the area, it was completely nasty. Was offered a room without air conditioning. Are you serious in the Philippines!. Walked right out and did not get a refund eventhough we did not stay there and the terms of agreement were not honored! Be extra careful with these rip-offs!"

"Cherry's Courtyard is a fake. It is not what it is the way they describe or advertise in the Expedia. This is a clear case of fraud advertising. The place is in the middle of squatters area. "

"The view was amazing, but the room wasn’t was we expected, we had the private room with the private bathroom. We had to call someone from the front desk every day to turn on the hot water. The room had a smell that was hard to get over. The hallway were dusty, they tried to clean them as much as possible. And you can’t use your shoes inside. Like most reviews said, the steep hill going up is quiet something, i would recommend to use the stairs leading down to the beach (your legs will thank...

"Much better than my stay at The Outpost a week ago. Decent sized single bed, effective blackout curtain, drying racks outside, a small changing area in the room for privacy, sufficient hooks for ‘stuff’ as well as aircon, a fan, plug sockets, hot water etc. It’s not somewhere to hang out although there’s the vegan cafe upstairs (they do have cows’ milk for coffee for those of us who still do that sort of thing) but it’s a great place to sleep despite its proximity to the main road. to the...

"This was such a gem, the ultimate backpackers haven. The cabins are rustic and there is a fair hike up to your room, but what you get is the most stunning view you could ever imagine. The staff is super friendly and breakfast is included. Take your coffee and breakfast in an amazing setting, one of the best views in my life. Enjoy"

5/5 Excellent

Stunning!

"I had a lovely stay here staying in the Pyramid. The whole place was stunning. It had an amazing private balcony that had tree top views over El Nido. Perfect to watch the sunset. The food served in the bar was lovely and the infinity pool also had amazing tree top views. Sad to only stay one night. The staff were very friendly! Would love to come back."

"We had a wonderful experience staying at Mansion Buenavista. The location was perfect - close to shops and the island hopping tours. The owner, Noud, and staff were amazing and very hospitable. They were very attentive to all our needs, providing assistance in booking tours, transportation, local spa services, and so forth. Made to order breakfast were included and other dining options for lunch and dinner. The facility is very well-maintained. Special shoutout to Mimi - above and beyond service. Would return and recommend. Thank you so much, you all made the experience so smooth. "

"The hotel is in a perfect enclave of a cove surrounded by mountains and jungle, with beautiful flowers and even some monkeys on the trees. The reef by the hotel is rich in life and just a swim away. The hotel is conveniently located close to the big laggon and small lagoon, which are breathtaking landscapes. The staff is amazing, all very friendly and ready to help. The rooms are somewhat small but in such a beautiful setting that it feels great. Meals and tours to the lagoons are included which justifies the price. "

"The views were incredible the staff was outstanding especially Ulli who has the smile of an angel. The rooms were priced very reasonable. The room I had was without a view on the lower level and could use a little updating but it was only used for sleeping so no big deal. The owner is very protective of his guest, by this I mean I had a pickup scheduled and somehow or another there was a delay. The owner drove down to the pickup location on his motorbike and made sure I was taken care of. That was service over and above. "

" My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights. The resort itself is located in a very convenient location to all the restaurants while not being immediately in the town center. We enjoyed the massages at their spa and the staff were very helpful in arranging our tours and transportation. The rooms were cozy and comfortable and ours even included a small personal pool or jacuzzi. We would be happy to stay here again. "
