"The staff was very accomodating with our requests and informative with activities we can do around the resort. The place was very quiet and was able to provide me with a much needed break from a busy life. The views were amazing. All in all, it was an amazing experience made easier by their staff. As this is an "off-grid" stay out in the outbacks of Palawan, a bit of dust and dirt everywhere is expected. But the staff made efforts to provide us with anything we needed to stay comfortable. "

" j'ai beaucoup apprécié la discrétion des gens qui vivent à cet endroit à l'écart du monde dans ce village situé en pleine nature entre la jungle et la mer de Chine. Le beauté du site rend le séjour difficile à quitter. Je ne recherche pas les 5 étoiles avec groom dans l'ascenseur et roome service 24/7, mais le calme et la sincérité. Il faut penser à prendre des bouteilles d'eau car l'eau vient de sources locales et notre organisme n'est pas habitué. "

""For anyone travelling on a tight budget, listen up. Private bunk bed room, just for yourself, no sharing with strangers. At that price, in El Nido, there’s nothing comparable. I used every free thing this place offers. Coffee in the lobby every morning. Water dispensers on every floor, so I never bought a bottle. The rooftop space is quiet and open, I did yoga up there a few times, which I wasn’t expecting to find at a hotel. The massage place right next door is one I saved for the last day and...
