Cari Hotel 3-Star di Palawan

Clean, spacious beds and super friendly staff at Spin Designer Hostel El Nido. Near town proper so walking around at night is easy + safe. Free breakfast with lots of options. Only small note: the drier area was a bit confusing at first. Great value and would come back!

Hotel with traditional feel and service. Beautiful courtyard with pool. Clean room. Quiet area. Jollibee restaurant is just beside the hotel. Robinsons Mall is within walking distance. Would stay again.

Our room was lovely. The location was perfect and exactly what we were looking for—away from the crowded town, making it peaceful and serene. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. My only suggestion would be to provide a few more rugs or floor mats to wipe our feet, as we only had one and the room can easily get wet after island hopping tours. The shower drain was also a bit slow, but it wasn't a big deal. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience at the resort and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting El Nido.

This was an amazing hotel and a great price for the value. The pool was gorgeous, the room was small but clean and had all the essentials, and the breakfast was incredible. Service was exceptional as well and not to far from all the action but far enough so you don't hear it when sleeping.

8/10 – A beautiful nature retreat with excellent service, but a few drawbacks We enjoyed our two-night stay at La Estancia. The resort is surrounded by beautiful nature, with absolute peace and quiet, plenty of wildlife, and a lovely atmosphere. We were the only guests during our stay, which made it feel like we had the entire place to ourselves! The staff were genuinely wonderful – always friendly, attentive, and willing to help. They even provided fishing equipment and bait for us to fish from the pier. We also enjoyed kayaking, and the food was delicious. However, there are a few reasons why we're giving it 8 rather than 10. First, the location is extremely remote. It takes around 1.5 hours from Coron Town, including 30 minutes on a rough, winding, unpaved road. Our private transfer cost PHP 3,500. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, so you're completely dependent on the resort. The resort itself is also quite expensive, especially once additional taxes and service charges are included. We understand that operating somewhere so remote comes at a cost, but overall, the facilities feel more like a decent three-star property than a luxury resort. Second, cleanliness could be improved. The swimming pool was somewhat dirty during our stay and was only cleaned properly on our departure day, when a larger group was expected. There was also rubbish along the shoreline that didn't seem to be regularly cleared away. The beach itself isn't particularly suitable for swimming due to seaweed. Finally, internet connectivity is unreliable. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, but power outages interrupt the connection, and mobile reception is often very weak or nonexistent. We stayed mainly to visit the dugongs and turtles, and two nights were enough for us. There's very little to do otherwise, unless you're willing to pay for additional excursions. Overall, 8/10. The excellent staff, delicious food, and peaceful natural surroundings made our stay memorable. With better maintenance, more reliable connectivity, and slightly better value for money, this could easily be a 10/10 experience. We'd recommend it for a short 2–3 night escape, especially if you love nature and don't mind being completely disconnected.

I was honestly a bit disappointed with this resort. When you see the word “resort” and pay resort prices, you expect a certain standard. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to that. The bed only had a thin sheet with no proper bedding, there was no water provided in the room, and parts of the property felt quite run down with visible rust. The bathroom, especially the shower area, could really use a deep clean. Breakfast was okay, nothing special. There were four different WiFi networks, but none of them worked properly and the connection was very slow. The staff did warn me about this in advance. That being said, the staff were absolutely amazing. Reception went above and beyond by helping with my large bags, doing my laundry, organizing tours and transport, and assisting with everything I needed. Truly a chef’s kiss to the team. They were the highlight of my stay. With some upgrades and better maintenance, this place could match the price they’re charging. Right now, it’s the staff that make the experience worthwhile.

The hotel is located just beside the public market, its not a luxury hotel but its good enough , rooms are spacious, quiet .  Staff are friendly, its a km away or 100 pesos tricycle ride to the the lively Tourist area where you can join the island tour.  But near the hotel there is also a port area name Curong Curong where you can just walk and join the island tour.  Breakfast is not bad, Rice, bread, eggs, veggies and Two kind of meat that changes everyday.  Not much restaurant around the hotel area, Town Square has a ton of restaurant.

The hotel is acceptable. It is close to where the excursions start. They gave us a room on the first floor, which is underground, but there was only one wall visible from the window and it was super humid. They were kind enough to change it for us, for which we are grateful. On the third floor it was better, despite the noise from the main street. But this is normal for city hotels in the Philippines. The internet was very bad, only in some places. The bottled water smelled of chlorine as if it was from the tap. The breakfast was good.

The Underwater Garden Resort has a unique location on the Baquit Island only 10 minutes boat trip to Coron .Foots in the water! Boatshuttle in hotelrate includet. Very quiet at night and dayover only some boats passing at a good distance. The restaurant is OK with place for improvement. Fishh-Sinigang and grilled fish are delicious. The personell is very gentle, kiind and attentive. They are trying to improve and learn everyday. Thank you for you hospitality!

Located near the main town of ElNido, with plenty of bars and restaurants around. However it’s right next to the main road in and out of town and is therefore very noise with traffic until late into the evening. The hotel was basic and clean, but had some issues with the hot water. Once it was repaired it was scorching or not at all. There was also a second shower with a sky roof. The repair could see right into the bathroom with a clear line of sight to the toilet. We ended up hanging a blanket over the gap for some privacy.
