DK2 Resort - Remote Beach Hideaway - Fast WiFi - Private Tours by Arrangement - Plan Ahead

The rooms were great. Also the views and the location far away from turistas.

There was not much food variety.

Our family had a fantastic stay at DK2. It's such a relaxing and beautiful place. They organised a tour for us which was very special with no crowds. The meals were delicious and beds very comfortable. The family at DK2 are very kind and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed.

What a paradise! Pure souls and Devine peace ✌️

Absolutely 10/10

Friendly but professional

Mention spéciale pour l’accueil avec noix de coco fraîches et les balades en bateau organisées directement depuis l'hôtel. Soleil, tranquillité et paysages à couper le souffle : tout était réuni pour des vacances inoubliables.

LOCATION – 9/10 The setting is stunning. The views are incredible, and just to the left, we spot a beautiful coral reef with vibrant violet corals that felt almost otherworldly. The location is private, isolated, peaceful, and truly feels exclusive and outside the chaos and bad smell of El Nido.

SERVICES – 4/10 The services were overpriced and poorly promoted. We often felt lost and unsupported by the host, even though the person handling everything was friendly and charming. It would have been great if the nearby hotels coordinated to offer a shared boat tour to El Nido, as private tours cost around €200. The kayak provided was broken, and no alternative activities or recommendations were offered by the host. There were no good snorkeling spots, no scenic walking paths, and overall, nothing particularly inviting or warm from the hosting side. The food was bland and portion sizes were small. It seemed like standard frozen meals from a hotel chain, with no variety or fresh daily specials – just the same offer repeated each day. They even ran out of beer. Fortunately, we brought our own, though we had to store it in their fridge. The host’s family stays on-site and their kids were often playing and shouting around the property. While this might be acceptable at a mid-range guesthouse, it felt out of place in a place marketed and priced as a high-end “resort.” ⸻ PRICE – 5/10 The place is extremely overpriced for what it offers – both the rooms and the services. It feels like a “touristy” resort with high prices but without the level of quality or comfort to match. If you count that a couple pay the room 130€ (with booking offer or 250€), plus lunch, dinner and drinks for 80€ and 100/200 for activities, for a total of 350/400€ per night. Comparing with Marriott resort or any other you can evaluate that it is not a great offer. Maybe for just one night! ⸻ ROOM – 5/10 The room was basic – no air conditioning, an uncomfortable mattress, and only average cleanliness. The walls were so thin we could hear our neighbors snoring and, unfortunately, vomiting one night due to stomach issues.

If you want to be completely isolated it's a nice place. There was a beautiful little beach area but no signs of fish or marine life.

It's clear that this area does not have the infrastructure for development of resort scale and kitchen waste ends up in the sea (there was no sign of anything like fish and grease flowing into the water) when there are several glamping style resorts in this small bay and more under construction. This is glamping at best and there should not really be full scale restaurants or hotels unless there is adequate infrastructure, waste removal, etc.

The hotel is located in a remote area… definitely you will get peace… more than you would like. The view is amazing but nothing special! All the region is gorgeous ❤️ But the hotel is overpriced, we were planned to stay 5 nights but we couldn’t resist so we left 2 days before ( even if we lose money). We stayed in the shared bungalow, the room was very hot because they gave us just one fan for 2 beds, the toilet was a disaster.. when you flush the wc the water raised up and it has a leak so when you flush it, the water also go out from the bottom of the wc. If you go to DK2 you need to work the patient! The food takes years to arrive to the table! It is very expensive and is not nice dishes… but the worst is the cost of the tours, they are charging crazy prices… 15 times more than what you will pay if you stay close to El Nido town. We left 2 days before and booked in other hotel with pool and buffet (same price) close to the town and the foods was amazing, very cheap transportation and tours A,b,c,d for less than 1500 pesos per person. Last but not least! They asked 5500 pesos per person plus VAT to pick up is from airport to hotel (1:30 hour for the ride) so 3 people around 16000 pesos only for the pick up… we decided to go by ourselves and we took a taxi in the airport ( which supposed to be expensive) and charged only 4000 pesos for all of us ! Ah! They charged VAT but they don’t give you official invoice so surely they are not paying taxes but taking from our pocket. I challenged to give me official invoice and just delayed and put excuses. The staff is very friendly and helpful, so we gave tips for them! Everyone was amazing but still need to work hard to improve the quality of the hotel and prices should be more reasonable. I will come back to El nido because it is a beautiful destination but surely I will not come back to DK2 or even recommend this place 👎

The resort is in a remote location 1.5 hrs away from El Nido airport. The property is metres away from the beach. The beach was very beautiful and we had gorgeous weather throughout, Rose and Rome and all the other resort staff were very friendly and helpful. We went on Tour A, arranged by the resort. Everything went smoothly during our stay. Communication with one of the owners was very easy and they responded with so much detail that there were no surprises on our trip. My only constructive feedback would be is to have a couple more dish options in the menu (beef, pork, or chicken) and snacks like chips, ice cream, etc.

It reminded me so much of this calming oasis I found in Mexico, the dogs playing in the sand. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to disconnect for a bit :) And go on the Special tour! Could easily stay 2 weeks.
