High Chaparral Cottages

Highly recommended...out of the ordinary...large piece of land...lots of trees...small animal farm with goats, all sorts of chicken, cow, cats and dogs, squirrels running up and down the trees, monkeys early morning on mango hunt...only 5-8 min walk form the huzzle and buzzle of downtown el nido...and the hosts r very, very friendly and hospitable...we had a wonderfull time!

Far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel super relaxed, close enough to access the town with a short waterfront stroll. Being on a mini farm keeps the kids entertained interacting with the animals. Rooms are a good size. The hosts are very hospitable, felt like being welcomed in by family - they take great care of you to even notice the small things like noticing which tea/bits of breakfast you prefer to tailor it more to your taste the next day.

Bathroom is functional but dated.

LOCATION: close to everything, walking distance to the place where the excursions leave, close to restaurants, cafes and everything It’s like a big farm with a lot of gracious animals, trees, plants and flowers STAFF: they went ALWAYS BEYOND expectations, polite, educated, and the most important, ALWAYSwilling to help you with anything Breakfast was nice, delicious fruits Very quite and peaceful

Amazing hospitality in a vast space, just a few minutes walk away from El Nido, yet far away from the tourist hubbub for peace and quiet. Rarely have we felt so warmly looked after as a family, we were sad to say good buy. The multiple free ranging animals were a huge bonus and joy to the kids, we were provided much assistance with arranging tours and other travel needs. We had an amazing time there! Also important to note was their supply of water as the property includes a well, tested yearly for drinking water quality, so where the rest of El Nido, even famed bars at prime locations was struggling with providing clean water to wash hands, we had no such concerns. I truly recommend this place, especially if looking for a simpler, quiet and enjoyable time with family

Breakfast, the hosts, how quiet it was, it was great to actually get some rest.

Internet was just so so, but from what I noticed, it was like that pretty much everywhere in El Nido.

We loved everything regarding the property but the staff was absolutely phenomenal! Everyone from Nita, Hans to Arleen and Boisy were incredible. From the minute we walked in we were treated like family. I loved the fact that they had the animals roaming around certain times of the day and my two year old was able to interact with them. Also loved their take on continental breakfast! Everything was great, just a 5 minute walk and you’re right by the beach.

Large, nice animals.

Staff is very friendly and was super accommodating for us with checking at 5am even when booked only for next night. There is a lot of space and the baby goat is very cute.

The animals in the garden are very loud in the night - imagine roosters competing on who can cry louder at 3am, then again at 4am. Bring ear plugs. Water from the tap smells off. Taking a shower with this water is not so pleasant. No AC in most rooms.
