ALON Villas

The room was immaculate and the bed was very comfy, it was perfect for the 2 of us after our island hopping tour.

Nothing! Just a couple min walk from the main road but it just added to the secluded and private aspect of the place.

The place is located in the middle of fields and very quiet, the garden and the villas are very beautiful and tastefully made. The breakfast is made in front of your eyes and super yummy, I recommend the French toast. Best quality breakfast we had in the Philippines for our trip. There is always someone ready to assist you with any request and they pretty much can do anything such as transportation, rentals, tours, in house laundry. Everything you’ll need is there.

The property is remote but is exactly what we wanted, away from the buzz and more in tune with nature. It boasts areas to relax and eat breakfast in the morning. The staff workers were very accommodating and one of the owners, Py, even went beyond to even grant our little requests throughout our stay. They helped us rent a scooter which is ideal and the cheaper way to see the town/beaches.

Incredible! The staff is amazing The room is unbelievable The breakfast is delicious We had an peaceful and very enjoyable stay at Alon!

Nothing

We had an amazing stay at ALON to celebrate our anniversary!! Carl and his team were wonderful and the villa was the perfect escape. He was easy to contact via WhatsApp and helped with arranging tours and transport during our time. Hoping to visit again one day, and experience the planned pool addition. Highly recommend for a trip to El Nido!

A little far from town and the action, but was aware of that beforehand. The seclusion and remoteness of the property was a wonderful aspect overall.

The location, the hospitality from the owners/staff, the ambiance, the decor, the concierge services and the tranquility.

My only qualm was the water pressure however, it is still much better than most island accomodation although this is not a big deal.

We had a wonderful stay here. The hotel is in a peaceful spot next to a beautiful rice field, and having breakfast there was a real highlight. It was quiet, scenic, and very relaxing. The room was clean and comfortable. We stayed for three nights and had everything we needed. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which made things even more convenient. The soap and shampoo smelled amazing and felt like very good quality. Even the towel was soft and pleasant to use. The staff were all very kind and attentive. They made everything easy and were always available if we needed anything. Check-in and check-out were quick and smooth. Breakfast was excellent every morning. I especially liked the yogurt. I definitely recommend getting that. We also appreciated how simple it was to book tours, transportation, and dinner through the hotel. Everything was well organized. At night, the dining area looked beautiful with the lights on and had a calm and cozy atmosphere. Overall, it was a peaceful and enjoyable stay. I would gladly return.

The bathroom has an open design, which is common in many modern hotels. In our room, there was a clear window looking into the shower area, so you could actually see the person showering. This setup is probably fine for couples, but since we were traveling as a family, it felt too exposed. We ended up covering the shower and toilet area when someone was using it, and that solution worked fine. The hotel is not right on the main road, so there is a short walk to reach it. However, the path is clearly marked with signs and lights, so it is easy to find even at night.

Everything the staff and the place. And I was first time to eat pancake, and it was delicious. Thank you for the pancake. Before I arrived to a ALON I was sick and the staff was kind and every few hours checking on me.

The hosts are friendly and genuinely care about the guests’ wellbeing. The location is also great – just a few steps off the main road. Some might see that as a downside, but I didn’t find it to be a problem at all – access is absolutely fine. The garden is lovely, and the staff are polite and always up for a short, pleasant chat. The bed is very comfortable – though I’ll mention one point of criticism on that in a moment. The pillows and duvet are of good quality, and overall, you can get a good night’s sleep. Breakfast was fine, but nothing special.

Despite the comfortable bed, sleeping was a challenge. On the first evening alone, I must’ve killed over 20 mosquitoes and found three massive spiders – one of them right next to the bed. Which brings me to the issue: the bed is built directly against the wall and also is directly connected with the floor. In tropical areas, that’s not ideal – it gives spiders, snakes, and other creatures easy access. The ceiling – while nicely done – doesn’t appear to be fully sealed either, or there wouldn’t be so many large spiders inside the room. I do understand that tropical settings come with insects and wildlife, but for nearly 100 $ a night, I’d expect a more thoughtful construction. I also opted out of the room cleaning – I suspect the staff leave the doors open while cleaning, which would explain the number of mosquitoes inside. A simple staff training session on keeping doors and mosquito screens shut during cleaning could solve this easily. One more thing: rather than a decorative canopy bed with open curtains, it would be far more practical to install a high-quality, fully enclosed mosquito net. At least that way, you’d be properly protected during the night.
