Great Location and Rooftop Views

central location rooftop bar swimming pool free water

The location was ideal. It was central to restaurants and shops. An ATM was available in the foyer. That was useful. The rooftop restaurant bar and swimming pool gave superb views. The staff provided free water facilities. This was very helpful.

The air conditioning unit was old and noisy.

amazing rooftop sunsets!

convenient location happy hour plentiful options working air conditioning

The hotel's location was super convenient! it was really close to everything! i loved that the rooftop bar offered happy hour. the breakfast options were plentiful. the air conditioning in the room worked very well. That was a big plus for me!

I found the tv channels a bit limited, but honestly, i didn't spend much time watching tv anyway. El nido has too much to explore!

rooftop pool helpful staff difficult door weak wifi

the staff were friendly and helpful. they always had filtered water available. the rooftop pool is great with nice views. the food was good though the menu felt limited.

The door to the room was difficult to open and shut. It stuck in the door jam often. the wifi signal in the first floor rooms was the worst i experienced on the entire island.
