Domes and Dreams Lio Glamping

Such an amazing place to stay in El Nido! The rooms were perfect and so cosy. The breakfast was great and staff so helpful too. The motorbike was great for getting around too.

Only thing we can think of was the area was a bit noisy, but it was worth it to stay in such a special place!

Está pelín alejado del pueblo,pero te proporcionan una moto y es muy divertido circular por ahí y ver la vida de ahí!

The Domes are amazing, the location is perfect and the free motorbike means it’s a quick journey everywhere without inflated tricycle prices. Breakfast is full of options and most of all the staff are lovely and made our experience of El Nido 10x better.

Le personnel, le fait qu'on est accès à un scooter c'est hyper pratique, et l'originalité du logement !

Rien

Loin de l’agitation du centre d’El Nido tout en étant quand même assez proche pour profiter des commodités de cette dernière. Le côté nature eco lodge mais en ayant une touche de modernité. La chambre était faite tous les jours sans avoir à demander ( rare aux Philippines). Petit déjeuner copieux inclus dans le prix. Personnel aux petits soins (petites attentions d’arrivée et de départ). Prêt d’un scooter inclus dans le prix.

Vérifier quand même le scooter avant de le prendre car j’ai eu la mauvaise surprise de devoir payer pour une réparation de pneu crever sans présentation de facture ou du dit pneu juste sur simple photo qui ne prouvait en aucun cas que c’était le scooter qu’on m’avais assigné. On m’avait demandé de remettre le plein au même niveau que lorsque l’on me l’avait prêté mais cela n’a même pas été vérifié contrairement au soit disant pneu.

If you’re reading this—stop and book it. Seriously. This place is worth every single peso. • Great location ✅ • Incredible service ✅ • Super comfortable rooms ✅ • FREE motorbike (!) ✅ • Thoughtful extras like airport pickup, breakfast to-go, beach towels, umbrellas… ✅ What else could you possibly ask for? ⸻ 📍 Location The hotel is just a 5-minute drive from Lio Beach, one of the best beaches in El Nido. It’s also only 15 minutes from El Nido Town, making it super convenient for island hopping tours and dinner spots—without the noise at night. And if you’re chasing sunsets, Nacpan Beach is just 30 minutes away. Truly the perfect base to explore paradise. ⸻ 🛏️ Room We stayed in one of their domes, and it was honestly one of the most comfortable glamping experiences we’ve had. The room was spotless, cozy, and—surprisingly—not full of insects. But just in case, they also provide insect repellents. We were initially concerned about three things: 1. Roosters: Yes, you’ll hear them (welcome to the Philippines!). But they also offer earplugs and a noise-canceling machine. We didn’t need them—but it’s great to have the option. 2. Heat: Not an issue at all. The AC and fan worked so well we actually turned them off at night. 3. Outdoor bathroom: Totally fine. Clean, private, and added to the charm. ⸻ 💁 Service TJ, Bham-Bham, and the rest of the team made our stay feel like home. Our room was cleaned daily, and the breakfast was next-level good—plenty of delicious options, and they’re happy to customize based on your preferences. ⸻ 🏍️ Motorbike & Extras This is the real game changer. A free motorbike included in your stay? That alone saves you 700–900 PHP per day. In El Nido, having a bike is a must—taxis are expensive (300 PHP to town, 450 to Las Cabañas, 900 to Nacpan). They also: • Pick you up and drop you off at the airport • Offer early breakfast if you leave for tours • Provide beach towels and umbrellas Seriously, they’ve thought of everything.

⛔ Room for Improvement The only downside is a 50-meter unpaved stretch before the entrance. It’s really minor, and the hotel mentioned there’s a government plan to fix it. It didn’t bother us, but worth knowing.

We had a wonderful time staying with them, they ensured everything we needed was attended to immediately. Bam Bam was the sweetest and brought us dessert every night she was working and even lent us money from her own wallet when we didn’t have change for the tuk tuk driver. The hotel itself is a jungle oasis with domes nestled in it and was both gorgeous and unique. Very rarely do I sleep in hotel beds and the mattresses and pillows are more comfortable than my own! The outdoor bathroom is super nice and we loved it. The Filipino breakfast every morning was delicious, we would rate it 11 stars out of 10 if we could! They also provide a free scooter with your stay and it was so much fun to ride like the locals and experience the beaches/other sightseeing places. Worth every penny.

Nothing

Best service we had in the Philippines. Special shout out to Bam Bam who went above and beyond to make our stay a special one. We even got a handwritten card and bottle of wine for New Years, cake on my partners birthday, and ginger tea when he was sick. We always felt well taken care of. Located away from the busy town square which is perfect if you like a more relaxed vibe. But not too far from the beautiful Lio Beach which is 5 min away on scooter (which you get access to for free) The bed was incredibly comfy and the dome was a cool experience. Nice and clean with all the amenities you need. Would stay there again.

L’emplacement - à 5 minutes en scooter de Lio beach - très belle plage et à 20 minutes du centre. Très bon emplacement pour rayonner sur l île. Mise à disposition de scooter gratuit. Domes très cocooning, confortable, grand TV avec Netflix. Heureusement que Bambam et son équipe sont là et rende le séjour formidable Petit déjeuner frais et fait à la minutes très bon.

Piscine sans transat / juste des hamac sans parasol donc difficile à se projeter pour se reposer au vue du soleil et de la chaleur. Manquement de rangement / armoire / on ne sait pas où mettre ses affaires Amenities légère pour ce prix… pas de rasoir, pas de cap pour les cheveux, pas de d après shampooing. Surpris à l arrivée de ne pas avoir de restaurant ni de bar. Attention le restaurant ne tourne pas en ce moment.
