Hotels Near Snake Island in EL Nido

The first words of the staff is “welcome to paradise” and we can only say it was truly experiencing paradise. From the first second at lounge arrival to the last second of departure there was an amazing, friendly and personalized customer care! The hotel environment , the room, the food, the complementary boat trips all was excellent and gave us an incredible experience to never forget and … to return back to☺️

Used for 2 nights and 3 days. Even when my flight from Manila to El Nido suddenly changed from an afternoon flight to a morning flight, the boat was quickly arranged and we arrived at the resort smoothly. Furthermore, I was able to enjoy the lunch buffet on the day of my arrival! The location of the resort is also great! Not only is it close to big and small lagoons, but it also takes about 15 minutes by boat to snorkeling points. Excellent access to activity fields. You can see an incredible amount of fish in the sea around the hotel. A resort I would like to stay at again when I come back to El Nido

This is a bit of a special place. The hotel is right at its own private beach. It‘s very isolated from everything else which can be nice if you don‘t want to leave the hotel at all. We wanted to go to the town some evenings and that is a bit of a challenge. You first have to take a golf car (which only runs until 10pm) and then change into a tricycle. The tricycles won‘t go directly to the hotel because the last bit of the road is too steep and winded. The other option is to walk along the beach for 20 minutes instead of using the golf car for the last bit, which we did a couple of times. It‘s not too dangerous but there are stray dogs. The food in the hotel restaurant was Italian and just ok, nothing amazing. The service was not great. Two women seem to know how to run a hotel but the rest of the staff were rather useless. They often seemed annoyed, even when we were just ordering food. We once asked about the zipline that is literally next door and they didn‘t know anything about it (price, time, how to get there). They organised a tour for us, which was great, but messed up the booking somehow so the tour guide thought we were only two people instead of four, which resulted in less food for lunch. And then they even charged us more for the tour. Our room was fine. Clean and no bugs. Yes, you can hear everything but we didn‘t mind that. The room was only made up on request though. The whole area is beautiful but there were a few things that annoyed us. So I wouldn‘t come back.

This place was absolute paradise. The beach is stunning with beautiful sunsets just around the corner. There are loads of beach bars and restaurants around and the beach is clean with clear waters. Many tourists travel here for the day and stay elsewhere so this place was perfect for those evenings in a bar or on the porch and looking at the sea. This place is right on the sea and listening to the waves while falling asleep was relaxing. The amenities were excellent and a lovely warm shower to wash away the sand. The only issue with this place was the service and lack of cleaning/ restocking. Sand is an inevitability and we lacked the necessary tools to clean the room so it got quite sandy after a couple of days and the cups from the welcome drinks were there for three days. We don’t require or expect daily cleaning but we stayed 5 nights and the room was made up once (not including bedding and towels). That being said, this place is amazing. There are few better locations and the calmness made for a perfect little break for us. Will definitely stay here again! Also a little bonus for dog lovers- there is a gorgeous little beach dog that chills on the porch and gets excited every time you come and go! He was super friendly, loving us and loved by all the guests!

Everything was really nice in this hotel. I love it. The hotel is on the beach and it has really great view. The stuff is really friendly and kind. All the people here are totally polite. The supervisor of this hotel is Gorgeous woman she helped us several times and you can see that she’s almost involved in the everyday life of the guests. Well, we have the problem with the Wi-Fi, she didn’t just said they cannot do anything. She gave us another room with a good Wi-Fi that was more expensive, but they didn’t take any money from us. I strongly recommend this place to anybody who wanna live in the heaven with a great facilities.

A bit far from the town but the place is very quiet. Near when you want t go mac Donald or vanilla beach. The food options are not bad. The room is ok. Internet connection is bad I wish they could fix it. Ac is great and bed is comfy. Pool is nice and parking is great! Budget friendly hotel. I will stay here again

Some people, including my wife, complained about the mold smell. I had no problem. All the things are ok, from my point of view. I think all the people who made negative reviews came expecting conditions for a 4* hotel. For a 3* everything was ok.

The place is amazing - intimate with a lot of character. Perfect for couples. We got upgraded to a better room which was beautiful and spacious (they mentioned we’re the first ones to use that room). Since the room was new, the staffs weren’t familiar of the room number/name, and we needed to keep on reminding them for make up room and change the towels, else they would forget to do it. The food was amazing too! Just wish they included coffee/tea/juice in their breakfast package. Meanwhile, there is one amazing staff called Joe. He always has a smile on his face and goes an extra mile to remember all the guests’ names, and make sure the guests are happy and comfortable.

What a wonderful stay at Buko Beach Resort. Close tricycle ride to the hustle and bustle if you wish. This resort is peaceful if you want to relax next to the beach. The rooms are spacious, clean and the beds are comfortable with all the amenities that you need. The staff are so friendly and helpful they will assist you anyway they can to make your stay convenient. The food tastes great and there are a variety to choose from while you enjoy the Seaview. They arrange island trips for you and can also arrange SPA treatments for you in your room which is devine and so convenient. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to El Nido.
