The service is good. They have free shuttle bus for airport. Location is 20 min far away from city by shuttle bus(one per hour). No slipper or tooth paste in room. You have to buy from grocery store which is 3 min walking distance. Overall room is clean and nice.

Very expensive property for what it is. But the places in El Nido town are dilapidated and El Nido is pricey. The room is basic but clean, bathroom isn’t great. The breakfast needs substantial improvement it’s extremely basic for the money. The female manager floats around doing nothing all day, the rest of the staff are helpful. Overall I would stay again but felt this is a very basic hotel for £130/night. 100m from lio beach though which is absolutely beautiful and dead quiet.

Hotel is 10 minutes from El Nido Airport and free shuttle. Good selection on Restaurants around the hotel and beach is nearby. Free shuttles to downtown. All Staff are friendly, helpul and accomodating especially Romeo from the receptionist, Jade and JR the driver. Also, Keith, the nurse was so good to us, very helpful. Hotel is brilliant and room is clean. CONS: Swimming pool needs cleaning everyday, drivers to downtown should NEVER USE PHONES WHILST DRIVING PLEASE.

Stephen, Vancouver, Canada

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked the friendly and accommodating staff, even though they lacked training and managerial direction. I liked the property and location in general. The food was awful. Everything fried and more suited to a budget hostel. My wife is a hotelier GM and it appears that the owners cut operational costs such as food and experienced chefs in order to maximize profits. Likewise, there may be only one manager for several properties for the same reason. The design of the rooms and property focus on appearance rather than function. Ie; large tv mounted on limited table space instead of wall, bidet on wrong side in bathroom, no electrical outlet in bathroom for hair dryer, safety deposit box not attached to anything, improperly mounted bathroom faucet, some electrical outlets not working (usually a sign of defective wiring or installation - particularly at the key card breaker device)). Lots of water from rainfall spilling onto lounge areas and hallways due to improper or lack of diversion from roof water. The road to the resort is not paved and full of potholes. It even has a reasonably large tree directly in the center of the road in compliance with the ‘eco’ theme of the resort. Likewise, guests can expect to be ‘mosquito food’ as the resort does not want to spray them. This in an area at risk of dengue, malaria and other mosquito borne diseases. The staff also admitted that they captured a large poisonous snake on the property but had to release it.

Really nice property outside of town (20mins in a tricycle) in a new area which is nice and quiet. Near a beach and restaurants and bars. Really modern and nice inside, our room was lovely and the pool was also great. Air con smelt awful but that was our only issue. Breakfast was nice but not the best.

Un bel hôtel dans l'ensemble, idéalement situé sur une magnifique plage, mais beaucoup de petits détails qui font qu'il est beaucoup trop cher pour ce qu'il est : literie au confort très moyen, oreillers très hauts et compacts et impossible d'en obtenir un bas, ménage très sommaire, petit déjeuner à peine passable, piscine mal entretenue (formation d'algues sur les parois ce qui ne donne pas envie de se baigner). Vu le prix très élevé pour les Philippines, on s'attend à mieux. Globalement moyen donc. Le fait que l'hôtel soit récent dans un superbe environnement avec un personnel sympathique remonte le niveau.

Fantastiskt hotell med lika fantastiskt kaffe

Underbar hotellvistelse! Fräscha, rymliga rum, trevlig personal, fantastisk frukost (efter att i tre veckor druckit svagt, filippinskt kaffe hade casa kalaw ett kaffe som lyckades uppnå våra kräsna/kinkiga preferenser). Allt var tipp topp helt enkelt! Kommer definitivt bo här igen nästa gång jag besöker Filippinerna

es ist egal, ob man im Adlao, Covo oder Kalaw übernachtet, die Zimmerausstattung ist die gleiche, da sie alle zur gleichen Investorgruppe gehören. Wer einen Pool von 15m braucht, dann Casa Kalaw, das mehr ist 100m entfernt. Die Nähe zum Flughafen fanden wir extrem praktisch, keine Sorge um Fluglärm, da kommen nur kleine Flieger. Nach El Nido gibts nen kostenlosen Busshuttle. der ganze Areal ist sehr ruhig, genug Restaurants vorhanden.

Pleasant stay overall. The front desk personnel were always nice and helpful. The WiFi was good. The included buffet breakfast was also pretty good with different options everyday. The fooseball table and pool table looked pretty old.. There is a shuttle service to town but it only comes and goes hourly and they can only bring one full van per trip. There are quite some good restaurants around the property. Very quiet, serene, secure. Expect a very bumpy ride to the place.
