Eastwind Beach Club- El Nido

Breakfast was great, however the kitchen was small and took a little time serving the dishes for our group of 5. The good aspect however was that everything was cooked freshly. The pool at the resort was great, however on public holidays and certain days the pool was shared with guests not staying at the resort. Staff were extremely friendly and Gina was particularly very helpful on-site and also via WhatsApp and through Booking.Com communication. The area was quite remote and chilled so a great way to relax away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. The hotel/beach club had 2 vehicles on standby with drivers that could take you to local dive canters, snorkeling excursions, or into El Nido for the tours their (about a 45min - 1hour trip). The hotel/beach club arranged other private transport to take my family and I in a small private bus from Puerto Princesca to Eastwind Beach Club - took approximately 6.5 hours along long windy roads, and cost 7,500 PHP, however if your looking for remote tranquility it is worth the trip.

The distance of the beach club from the airport made this a long trip each way (6.5hours in a single trip, however we had the vehicle to ourselves and stopped for a break along the way), even still it is a long way to travel after a flight. WiFi connection was not too bad, especially in the main dining area, however the small bungalow rooms were powered by solar panels (which is admirable), but wee not sufficient to charge high-power items (such as my tablet), and charging at night was very unstable. There are several dogs and cats on the property (Windy among them) who were very friendly, my kids love animals and were playing with them a lot but it was clear the animals had small infections etc and sadly two of my kids caught ringworm from them. The property was not sufficiently stocked for drinks and food and therefore there were many times where items on the menu were not available (as you are nearly 1 hour away from the closest city we found ourselves eating at the property for most meals, in hindsight a hire car may have been a good option) - food I can understand as the property is remote and buying fresh food which is wasted is not sustainable, but buying drinks for the fridge or to stock in storage is a good way to continue getting people to buy these. Luckily drinkable iced serving water was always on offer.

Quiet and away from the city. Good facilities and pool.

The tea/coffee facilities be provided for the rooms

The staff was very nice.

It wasn't quiet at all. Out of 3 nights, we had twice private parties at the back of the garden. Which is nice for the people but for the hotel guests, we clearly needed earplugs. On top of that, in the morning you get the dogs barking and so on. We expected something quiet since it is remote. But it wasn't. The room was never cleaned (however this seems to be often the case in "hotels' in the PH which haven't a standard). Breakfast is rather light since you can only chose one option on their menu and some of them are light ones. They tried to charge us because we asked for some fruits in our muesli. The price-quality value isn't there.

Remote location, private beach, amazing staff Gerard really helped me a lot by giving me lifts to the tours as I cannot drive (organised by hotel) or surfing I wanted to do (extra cost for the transport). The owners Gary and Eden were very welcoming and it felt like coming back to a home away from home. Food portions were perfect and enough of a variety of options despite being in a remote location. Gina and the other staff were very helpful always able to assist when needed :)

Party’s (people who rent the space/pool) can happen at the resort however music has to stop at 10pm and management was helpful in keeping it that way/asking them to be quieter when needed.

Great place, small, very relaxing No sound excep nature sounds Clean rooms and comfy beds

Swimming pool had too much chemicals Seaviwew was kimited Beach was not super clean and water not transparent

Very quiet place, big swimmingpool and beach just in front. Maybe beach is not the best one for swimming, however long to walk and relax. Staff is very helpful and able to organise everything. Highly reccommend one day trip by boat to island nearby which they can organise.

Very peaceful and relaxing, staff were helpful if you required any trips like to island hoping or into town they will arrange it a quiet location all food was reasonable price and good quality pool was clean and short walk to beach

If you urgently required to go to town el nido it was a fair distance 1 hr by tricycle would not suit people wanting to go out on the city/ town

Very chilled and relaxed place. The value for money is very good!

It took very long time to prepare food - so order in good time before you are too hungry.

The most welcoming and helpful staff, the tranquility, the direct access to a beautiful beach… simply everything…

It’s 1 hour drive to El Nido… so you need to rent a motorbike if you don’t want to stay only at the resort.

They have the best rooms on the island probably, we’ve stayed at other 5 expensive hotels before yet East Wind have air con and fan, warm water, internet and electricity all the time, it was the most comfortable room for our 1 year old son. They have a pool and playground and the sea is very shallow, good for children. The hosts are very, very helpful and pleasant to be around with. The garden is beautiful with many flowers and a wide space. Silvia&Trace&Zam

It’s a beautiful and affordable place so no complains at all. X
