Coco Garden Villas

The lady at the reception was very nice! Wi-Fi was perfect. All people were nice.

I don't mind that it's old but the issue is that the inside of the cottage is dirty. I had to clean the bathroom by myself, we had to buy our own toilet paper, no drinking water provided, only 2 electricity sockets, the mattress was musty, the bed in bad condition, the entrance door broken... that are just few things. It is a very expensive rural experience, villa is not the right name. Also the chicken farm around is very noise at night and our motorbike was completly full of chicken poop in the morning. We were the only guests as apparently are all the other villas broken.

There was nothing to like

When we arrived the first thing I noticed was the pathway to get to the reception is dangerous and not well maintained. I even cut my arm open because the pathway is so close to a wire fence. There was no electricity or water due to an outage. We couldnt charge our phones, use the internet, use the bathroom or take showers. The room is open air and mosquitos and other bugs are allowed free entry. The owner and receptionist are rude. There is no redeeming quality regarding this place. There are many places you can stay closer to town with AC, hot showers, no bugs that are a similar price. The owner doesn't care about the property or being a responsible business owner otherwise they would maintain it better. I saw no garden. You would be better off staying in a tent.

Nothing

The hotel is located right next to a chicken farm with a lot of noise all the night especially around 4am. Our room was located at the back of the hotel, so we needed to cross all the room or little houses to reach ours. The facilities aren't great with little privacy for the other peoples in the rooms and the paths between them almost not built. The room wasn't clean and the bed wasn't comfy at all, with next to no sheets available, and almost no furniture. The bathroom was okay. but the water was taking time to heat, and the pressure was too low. The WiFi is horrible, and this is pretty bad considering there's almost no public wifi outside and the coverage for cellular data is pretty bad on Palawan. And a lot of the small things, like the door wasn't closing properly, the AC and fan was doing a lot of noise, etc. We spent a week there, and was regretting it since day 1.

Cosy huts with comfortable bed. Owner of the property was kind, helpful and chatty. He helped us to plan our stay in El Nido according to our needs. Very tasty breakfast.

Noise from the roosters, earplugs recommended.

Love the bamboo huts and experiencing the local way of living.

The cockerels next door need cooking, too many too loud. The inside of the huts could be cleaner. Simple can be clean also.

The little cabanas are adorable and cozy. The fan only option was quite fine and didn’t bother me one bit. The bed was cozy. Onsite breakfast (one fried egg, two toast, instant coffee) was convenient. Wifi worked well at reception (at the back of the property).

LOUD. Didn’t sleep well. I had read the reviews about farm sounds and having lived on farms I thought this would be charming. Most farms do not have 20 roosters crowing and competing with one another day and night. They also do not have the dogs barking and howling in packs on and off all night. Unless you are a very deep sleeper this is not the place for you! There were cabanas deeper set into the property that may be quieter (I was right at the entrance and could hear all the neighbourhood conversations, traffic and also smell burning plastic all night and woke up with a sore throat). Cute spot but you need to be a deep sleeper to enjoy.

Nothing

Rooms wasn't close - there are lot of insects Nearby this place was lot of chicken - it was difficult to sleep there more than 5 a.m.! Personel wasn't adjustable - they didn't agree for a breakfast 15 minutes before it normalny starts After our stay owner wanted extra money for our staying - he accused us of booking transfer to different place - situation like that has never happened
