Mountain View Hotels in EL Nido

I traveled to El Nido completely by myself this time and was a little worried about feeling lonely before I got here. Luckily, the front desk at Z Garden was super friendly, and the spots they recommended were all amazing. They could also just book my island hopping tours directly for me, which was incredibly convenient. Whenever I came back from a day out, they would chat with me for a bit, and I think it is seriously impressive how they manage to remember so many guests' names! Plus, having the night guards around made me feel super safe.

As many other guests have mentioned, the staff’s friendliness, professionalism, and warm smiles were truly outstanding. We booked a town-view room, so we had already given up expecting any ocean view. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room still offered a view of the sea. The hotel is conveniently located, with many restaurants and souvenir shops nearby. Our room was on the second floor, but we were hardly bothered by any noise at night. The front desk staff were also very helpful in arranging a rental motorcycle and a van for our return trip. The prices were fair, and the process was easy and convenient. This was truly a wonderful hotel with an exceptional team of staff. Thank you very much for making our stay so enjoyable.

I stayed at S Resort in El Nido (Palawan) and overall I was satisfied. The room was moderately clean, with no issues regarding the basic level of hygiene. The bed sheets were changed, which is a nice touch and not always guaranteed in similar hotels. The air conditioner worked properly and consistently, which is very important in the hot climate. The main advantage is the location. The hotel is in the center of El Nido, so everything is within walking distance — restaurants, shops, and tour departure points. Very convenient and easy to get around. Overall, it’s a good option if you value location and basic comfort without high expectations. It works well for an active stay in El Nido.

”I’ve visited a few sea turtle conservation programmes before. Some are there to be photographed. Some are actually doing the work. This one is actually doing the work. The staff know the current state of each nest and can estimate roughly when hatching will happen. During the release they don’t let visitors touch the turtles. At night they use red-light torches and ask guests not to use flashlights or camera flashes. That night, sixty-something hatchlings made their way toward the moonlight and into the sea. Two of them moved slower than the rest. That part stayed with me. The tent sits right on that beach. Shared bathrooms, a short walk away, not a problem in practice. The restaurant is just outside the glamping area, a little walk in the evening, but along the way one evening we saw someone propose on the beach with the sunset behind them. Quite something.”

My husband and I celebrated our second year anniversary at Cauayan. We considered other resorts but we have definitely made the right choice. The island is just breathtaking! We were greeted with a warm welcome by the hotel staff and were escorted to our beautiful villa. My husband arranged a private tour of El Nido islands, where we ended up visiting about 7 spots with our guide even acting as our photographer (he took fantastic photos and videos too). In terms of food, the buffet breakfast offered a wide array of food selection. For lunch / dinner, we enjoyed all that we ordered (though some are really very spicy, so take note). The bar staff can concoct amazing drinks as per your mood & whim. I particularly enjoyed the spa and wished I booked a much longer massage. Our stay at the island became so much more meaningful when we witnessed hawksbill sea turtles being released to the ocean….As amazing as all these are, the best part of our stay in Cauayan is the friendly and customer focused staff. They prioritize the customers’ needs, always have a smile on their faces and have just made our stay in El Nido a memorable one. Thank you Cauayan and we will surely return for another amazing experience at your island!

Not so much a hotel as a bed and breakfast, do n’t expect too high ancillary facilities. I came out alone, but I can still accept it. The breakfast environment on the third floor is good, there are mountains and trees, it is a quiet village. Upstairs and the pier are relatively close, about 10 minutes walk.

The facilities are well-equipped, and the breakfast is delicious. The staff are friendly and incredibly attentive. Renting a scooter is budget-friendly and convenient. The island hopping tours (A, B, C, D) are offered at great prices. Getting to the city center by tricycle is easy. The closest beach is just 100 meters away, right behind the hotel. The beach behind McDonald's, about a kilometer in the opposite direction from the city center, is the most popular spot for watching the sunset.

Nice Hotel with friendly Personal. We have a seaview room, the view is very nice… but many steps to climb. Rooms were big and clean, but you can hear the neighbor well. Breakfast was good but not many extensiv. For us the Hotel was good.

Small rooms, next to a party street. The size, service and even the location are not worth the money, to be honest. But at that moment there were no options, no choice. All the ports were closed, and the hotels were sold out and there was nowhere to go. We took it for one night.

It was a truly pleasant stay with a variety of choices of breakfast each day, with a stunning view of the sea and hills. Lemuel is a star server, who never missed a step in service in any way. He was professional, warm, helpful, and goes the extra mile to check in that we are fine whenever he can. He looked out for all guests no matter how busy it got, and helped with taking photos for the crowds too. While some other staff may have been blur, his presence and service made everything exceptional. He even shared with us that the sunset view from the hotel should not be missed, and it was good we were back in time one of the days to enjoy the view from the hotel. Great stay.
