Frangipani El Nido

Location for restaurants,and tours around the bay

Plunge pool too small

Small hotel, included breakfast was nice.

Rooms were dark and smelt of damp. Didn’t have the boutique hotel feeling that was promoted. Restaurant was quiet and rooms were disappointing.

The hotel is very beautiful : tasteful decoration, direct access to the beach and view on the beach from our room. Eventhough the pool is small it was nice to swim in it and chill on the terrasse. The exceptionnal professionnalism and niceness of the staff made us want to stay longer. They had a lot of small attentions, made sure our every needs were answered, helped us organize transferts before our arrival and upon our departure. They even prepared complimentary little sandwiches the day we left, for our travel, which was such a nice gesture. Also the restaurant was excellent (probably the best place we ate during our whole stay). Many thanks !

The staff were great, really helpful and service exceptional. We took a scooter and it was easy to get everywhere.

It doesn’t really look like their social media, which is great storytelling. The rooms are a little tired, and the hotel is not located on a part of the beach you can swim.

Property was stunning! In a great location! The views are something that I’ll remember forever.

location was good, breakfast and food was nice, staff were accommodating

the shower didn't have adequate water pressure at some hours of the day, wanted to use the pool but it was in service though they adequately compensated us for the pool being under maintenance.

We chose the nicest room in the hotel, so the suite was pretty amazing! Huge windows from the bedroom, living room and even the shower. Very spacious and clean and the two bathrooms ended up being pretty useful. The staff were helpful and restaurant was a bit hit and miss but generally good.

Our room had a plug in perfume appliance which was so strong we were choking! We had to air out the room for an hour - however, the pillows and sheets were also cleaned a horribly strong perfumed detergent and we both struggled to sleep with it. Definitely the biggest downside and so avoidable - lots of people have allergies to these fragrances and are rarely used in Europe. The restaurant was really hit and miss. Some dishes were incredible and delicious with locally sourced fish etc. but other dishes were randomly not so well cooked and the local desert Halo Halo is to be avoided! Full of artificially coloured jellies and glacé cherry (apparently the glacé cherry is still very popular in the Philippines!!)

The food was excellent, made fresh to order. The staff was very attentive and nice. It is a cute boutique hotel on the beach.
