Guest Reviews

• YUWEI (10/5): - The staff is very friendly and offering great service during our stay! And the view of this hotel is truly breathtaking! We had our breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant with the awesome El Nido Bayview everyday.
• PASANG (6/5): - Overrated
• Adventure34841922319 (2/5): Horrible Resort with a Beautiful View - I stayed at the El Nido Bayview Resort for two nights on a family trip. The view from the pool is amazing and watching the sunset was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, that was the best part of our time there. The room we stayed in had a forest view which was spoiled by a large orange construction crane. The "window" in the bathroom was a piece of wood with tissue stuck around the edges. We placed a bath towel at the bottom of the room door to block the 1" gap in hopes of keeping geckos and large bugs from coming into the room. The room was never cleaned even though we hung the "please make up room" sign on the door. The dinner buffet was unacceptable as the food was room temperature, and the food warmers were not on. The manager was apologetic stating fresh food would be available in 15 minutes, but only a few items were warmed by then. My husband did not eat anything from the buffet, as he was unsure if any of the food was safe to eat. The breakfast buffet the next morning was not much better as many of the dishes were barely warm and the made-to-order omelet station only offered peppers, onions and cheese as options. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone else.
• Becca (2/5): - This hotel is below poor and we had many issues during our stay. There is ongoing construction grind the hotel, ruining the garden views, and a new road being laid directly outside. The advert suggests this hotel has direct beach access, it certainly does NOT! It is a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach. We had ants burrowing through the wooden floorboards of our room, each morning we would wake up with new mounds of sawdust on the floor. The patio door didn’t lock, despite raising this with maintenance it was never fixed. The service is incredibly slow, some days you could wait up to 20 minutes for your order to be taken (we were one of 3 or 4 groups/couples staying). The evening menu is only half available, meaning a majority of the main dishes weren’t available. We found ourselves eating out most evenings as a result of this. Upon check out, the hotel told us we must pay in cash, despite there being a card machine at the desk and having a sign saying they accept card. As we didn’t have any cash, they told us to go to the nearest ATM and withdraw (this was at 0630 in the morning) I would certainly not stay here again.
• Luis Andres (6/5): - Upon arrival this hotel is quite beau with an amazing view. Decent choices for breakfast and a nice pool with pool bar and music. Saying all that. I also used the laundry service twice and had two missing shorts. One swimteunk and one Jordan’s workout shorts. Also their room service menu doesn’t have all the items listed to order and the waiter had to. One 3 times to get another order. Felt bad for the waiter.
• Lukas (10/5): - Our stay at El Nido Bayview Resort was phenomenal. The service from the staff was incredible and made our stay truly memorable. We felt right at home and we will definitely return some day.
• Jarod (10/5): - My overall experience of the stay was amazing. I love the layout of the pool and the dining area. Complimentary breakfast is very good. The staff is very friendly and wants to converse with you. Great choices for happy hour drinks. There are some minor cleanliness issues that would take this place from a 8.5 to a 10/10. There were some stains on the walls from a leaking AC in my room. It caused some of the floor boards to m
• MICHAEL (6/5): Start of El Nido - Check in ok. Guys who deal with luggage amazing. Communication a bit of a struggle. Food nice. Nice room
• Juan (10/5): - The whole staff made the stay amazing. Special thanks to Argel and Jerick. Overall staff was amazing and the executive suite was absolutely worth the price. Definitely will be recommending this resort and will be staying again when we return. -Juan B.
• Bryson (10/5): - I cannot say enough good things about this resort! We stayed here for 3 nights and it’s GORGEOUS! The pictures don’t do it justice. Vanilla beach (our favorite beach) was walking distance which made our life easy. The staff were what really made our stay exceptional! They were kind, attentive, and so so welcoming. When we come back to el nido we will definitely stay here again. It is WELL worth the money!
• framec (10/5): Great stay at Bayview! - We had an amazing stay at the Bayview Resort, the room was comfortable, staff were attentive and the location and view is outstanding. The food was also delicious, better than most of the resort foods we've eaten in the Philippines. There was construction works going on, but we were advised of this before we booked and it had no influence on our stay. We wished we could have stayed longer, and would recommend this place to anyone!
• F7052DFfranko (10/5): We experienced an outstanding stay at the Bayview in El Nido - We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Service was outstanding, continuously checking on us ready to help in anyway (Erica, Kendra, Madam Wee), always smiling. ALL the staff were great. The views are breathtaking. Thank you so so much for making our experience a once in a lifetime one
• Shigeo (4/5): 眺望抜群 - ビーチへの距離は2分ではありません。夜遅くまで車の通る音が部屋に届きます。素晴らしい夕日を堪能できる眺望を選ぶならよいホテルです。
• Paradise16647283265 (2/5): Very very bad experience! Dont book here - Don't check in here the place is over rated and over priced. We had a very awful experience! The room where we stayed are priced at 15,000 cause it is supposed to have a bay view but instead “tall grass” ang view. We had an emergency and hindi kami inasikaso ng staff they dont have an emergency facility in place. Para lang kayong nasa motel paying 15k/ night kasi nasa el nido kayo!
• Alexandre (10/5): Pra ficar na memória - Lugar lindo!atendimento maravilhoso,sempre atenciosos e dispostos a ajudar.recomendo!alem de um sunset imperdível!
• ARIANE (10/5): - I usually don’t leave a review but this stay was the best one that we had so far in the Philippines. We were taken care of from the moment that we checked in. Friendly and very accommodating staff, good food and breath taking views. Will come back here again.
• Walter (10/5): - Unique panorama view from the huge poolarea, very nice food - affordable prices; breakfast very asian, not western style; sometimes bacon available, but not too many choices; good salads; rooms not too big but nice; shower works very well;TV too; wifi had problems (server connexion). very friendly staff, not recommendable if you are disabled (very many steps; some rooms far from lobby/pool area)
• Verified traveler (6/5): Ferie - Fik ikke rengøring. Døren kunne ikke låse ordenligt. Ligger langt fra byen. Sødt personale
• Jonathan (10/5): - A place you should experience. Great value for the price! Note that should spend a few extra dollars to fly into the air swift airport near the resort otherwise it's a 5hr shuttle or taxi to the property.
• Jose (10/5): - The property sits on a hill, which there is steep steps to go down or come up. Overall service was good and maintained excellent!!
• Joshua (8/5): - It was decent. The picture in listing didn't quite match what we got and the WiFi was only available around lobby and pool. Other than that it was a nice place. My girl loved the pool.
• Curious10537604171 (10/5): Recommend! - Really not sure what the bad reviews are all about! The stay here was incredible. The room was so much better than expected! The views around the pool are amazing. Would definitely stay here again! The only bad thing is we had a bit of a language barrier during dinner and instead of ordering one Cajun fries they brought out 3 lots and the TV wasn't working in the bedroom. Otherwise it was a great hotel and if you're thinking of booking then do it!!
• leonlara (2/5): Do not waste your money - We have been traveling for a year, we have visited 16 countries in one year and stayed in hotel more times than we can count. We have not seen such hotel before We arrived after going to the hotel and were greeted with a wonderful view, but suddenly it turned into a nightmare. 1. We wanted to eat before going to the rooms and ordered some food from the restaurant. I waited a full hour for the Club House Sandwich. I think an hour is a long time for a sandwich which made only of omelette 2. While we were waiting, we noticed that there was a predatory housefly. Every where hundreds of houseflies. You won't be comfortable sitting around and it's not hygienic. 3. I came to the room to work. They left our luggage but did not lock the room door 4. There is a small double bed. In the reservation we made through Booking.com, it says that children up to 5 years old stay free of charge, but there is no bed that can fit a 3-year-old child and 2 people. Therefore, the rooms are not suitable for families with children. 5. Of course, money always provides solutions. I went to reception to get an extra bed and demanded 1,500 PHP, or 25 Euros, per day. Again, according to the booking.com page, the fee for an extra bed for 0-5 years old is 16 Euros, so they took more money from us. By the way, I could have bought maybe 2 or 3 of the beds they gave me with the 225 Euros we paid for a 9-night stay. 6. Since the safe was closed, they were sent back to the destination with a key. The same key opens all safes in other rooms 😂 7. He went to breakfast in the morning, again the houseflies are at work 24/7. When they couldn't find anything to eat that appealed to my taste, i asked one of the employees if they can make omelettes. She said they only had scrambled eggs in the buffet, but an omelette was made for my friend who came half an hour later. Following day my wife was asked why they told me that they are not serving omelette to us but to our friends. The answer was ‘’sorry’m 8. There is no shower cabin in the bathroom. After showering all bathroom in the water. There isn't even a drawer in the bathroom to put your belongings. 9. It is not possible to take a shower with the shower head because it does not work. It was probably put there for decoration 10. We escaped from the hotel and went out. It's a wonderful day out. The room was not cleaned upon our return. Room cleaning may also cause extra asking. Room cleaning was done only once in 5 days. 11. Children's pool water was dark green from dirt and main pool full with sand 12. Also, the hotel is located in the middle of the construction site 13. Rooms are small and unusable As a result, we have been here for 5 nights and unfortunately there are 4 more nights. It's definitely not worth the money you pay, even be careful about your health and don't come here. It is unacceptable that the hotel for which we paid 200 USD per day is so dirty, With my experience so far, I would definitely give it a minus star even though it costs a minus star.
• Brisc226 (8/5): A nice stay - I stayed at the resort twice during May, once with a bayview room and once with forest view. Bayview room is nice due to the view but the forest view room seemed to have a better finish in my opinion. If I had to pick again it would have to be the bayview room because I can never get tired of that view. The beds are extremely comfy and the Wi-Fi connection is good, tv’s are a good size so if you get a day of rain there is good entertainment on offer. The pool is kept immaculately clean and the guys around the pool are very nice and make a great cocktail. The staff in general are very welcoming and friendly particularly on my second visit and after staying at several other resorts in el nido as well, I have to say the staff attitude at bayview is fantastic in comparison. Breakfast was pretty good as it goes in El Nido, a proper coffee machine with proper beans would be a great investment. The downside is unfortunately there is still a lot of construction to be done at the hotel and it does disturb you if laying by the pool all day but I found it to be okay in the end. There are a few times where it is quite loud but most the time is alright. All in all, if I was staying in El nido again after staying here and other resorts nearby, I would chose this one. Thank you
• Luusiejaa (2/5): Weirdest stay at a hotel. A disaster. - I had the weirdest stay ever. We are traveling since last year so I saw many, many hotels, but this is probably the worst experience. Let’s start positive; there’s a beautiful swimmingpool with amazing view. On the negative side; - No internet. We are digital nomads and chose this hotel cause they advertised with having internet. The connection was too bad to have a normal conversation so we lost a few valuable days of work. -There are many dogs. Dogs from the owners and guests, I don’t know, but there are many. I saw them pissing next to the pool, against the tables, against the sunbeds, puking in the restaurant and s#%* on the stairs that lead to the rooms. The staff walked around the s#%* and guests have walked in it. -every night the restaurant is full of business meetings with touroperators and such. The restaurant is next to the pool and it gives a super weird vibe. Also the staff is not looking after their real guests anymore. No drinks served, nothing. You have to go in your swimsuit to the bar in the restaurant to get someone’s attention, super awkward. -the hotel is not finished! It’s a mess. The front is a big constructionsite, they are building and making noise, it’s not where you want to arrive at your hollidays. -The staff is never paying attention to the guests. They are not rude, but just don’t pick up a thing and forget everything they started. Bad management. -I rented a scooter at the hotel. I got a flat tire so it had to be repaired as I was far away from the hotel. My tire turned out to be so old and dangerous that I was lucky I didn’t have an accident. -The room is fine, not to many storage space but oké. The shower door is so dirty you can’t see through it. -be prepared to walk a lot of stairs from and to your room. Really weird construction of the stairs too. You have to go down and then go up again to arrive at the same level to your room with sea view. I hated it. - Without warning there was a wedding at the hotel at one day. This day the whole restaurant and around the pool was getting used for the wedding. It was packed with people and there was no place left for hotel guests. At night it was difficult and awkward to reach our room cause we had to walk through the whole wedding. No staff was giving a damn about the guests anymore. We couldn’t use the restaurant and didn’t feel comfortable to use the pool in the middle of a wedding. This hotel is not ready for any guests at all. The staff has not been trained, and the hotel isn’t finished yet. Also there has to change a lot in the mentality! And of course all the dogs have to go. There has to happen and change a lot before they can throw themselfs on the market. The view from the swimmingpool is not enough to run a hotel.
• holiday12113 (10/5): Love this place - stunning - I moved to this hotel after having a bad experience elsewhere and I wasn’t disappointed. The moment I arrived I was treated so kindly but the wonderful staff - provided with a drink, cool face towel and a necklace. The staff here are excellent and the hotel is stunning. The pool is the best I’ve seen in El Nido with gorgeous views which attract people from outside the hotel for sunset. I had a forest facing room which with very comfortable and clean, but I didn’t have a safety deposit box unfortunately. The hotel has been recently renovated and some sections are still under construction but that wasn’t a problem and there was no noise. The location was great a two minute walk away from nice cafes, a gym, and the beach. It’s a 5 min tuktuk ride into the proper town and reception arranged that for me. Breakfast was included in my room rate and was delicious. Overall this is a top hotel and I would return in a heartbeat - amazing place. It is a pet friendly hotel too so there’s some cute pups wandering around :-)
• jado_and_kea (8/5): Good value stay - We stayed here due to a vacation timeshare program. Pros: Good value and accessible to the beach through a strip mall ( although it’s mostly closed except for the gym due to the Covid -19 pandemic ) Good bed, linens and pillows. Good and new towels. We didn’t use the toiletries but it was there and there was also shower gel and shampoo in the dispenser. Strong and quiet aircon. We even turn it off when we wake up and it’s still cool until like 10 AM when we decide to go out. Water pressure is ok and hot water is dependable. Staff are the best . Always helpful and accommodating. Assists in booking vans and boat tours. Room ref was working well. Pretty strong actually as it keeps freezing our water. Hot water kettle with coffee and tea was provided, although we brought our own. Cons: Breakfast choices can be improved. It’s a bit limited but I guess since it’s only domestic tourists now they only have silogs which is fried rice, eggs and a choice of processed meats like bacon, ham, tapa or dried fish. It was ok with us. Filling and tasted fine. Also came with spiced vinegar and other condiments. Rooms with a view can be an uphill hike from the beach side and so is the restaurant. But they have road level cottages, so make sure to request those if you’re not fit 🤣 No view though . And there’s still some major construction going on. The toilet hardware can be improved. It’s a bit wobbly, but still working.
• DaniellaGK (8/5): Lovely, great views, location - We absolutely recommend this hotel! It’s the perfect balance because it’s not expensive, neither in the “cheap” category. For me location was perfect, beach walking distance, restaurants, adventure, but at the same time with privacy and distance from the noise. The views are amazing. Breakfast good. Service 100 points. We where in our honey moon and we want something simple but cute. If you have a trouble with stairs , you should not stayed here.
• R5768DTtomaszk (10/5): 5 starts for the way they handled my reservation in Feb 2020 just when the virus started to affect travels - I had a non-refundable booking done for mid Feb, and just few days before the trip airlines started to cancel flights due to covid virus. Management of Bayview resort was extremely helpful to fully refund the stay, even though they didn;t have to. Amazing customer support. Will DEFINITELY visit them when tourism gets back to shape.
• ewelinabi (8/5): A bit expensive but has amazing view - The hotel is still developing, however we didn't experience any inconvinience regarding noise or dirt. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. Getting to the rooms rrequires climbing steps but the view is amazing. The pool is very shallow, perfect for chillout with your drink. Food is very tasty, but the restaurant has a bit too loud music, was a little disturbing. Rooms are clean, have very comfortable beds, tv and management is constantly maintaining the hotel to keep it nice and fresh.There is short walk to the beach, beach towels you can get from reception upon request (free of charge). Lovely hotel! I do reccommend it!
• Fridays914 (10/5): Upgraded to Suite with private jacuzzi - We stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday (we came from another hotel in El Nido town). The owner upgraded us to Premium Suite with Private outdoor jacuzzi overlooking El Nido Bay. Across thw hotel is the beach. The staff are very accommodating, room amenities are superb except for the wifi but its fine because we wanted to relax anyway. Buffet breakfast is good and even dinner :) Though hotel is 10mins away from town but still worthy of 150php tricycle ride.
• Aaronvalerio15 (2/5): Restaurant - This is regarding their restaurants free buffet.. I was invited for a free buffet which turned out to be a scheme for a 20 years travel contract that will eventually cost you P800,000... they claimed it to be non committal which is fair but once you refuse to sign it their manager Dang becomes hostile and rude.. I’ve never encounter a manager as rude and unprofessional like her before. I still can’t believe a company this big hires an untrained and unprofessional manager like her.
• Steven (4/5): Far too overpriced for all the problems the rm has - Bad wifi using old legacy network equipment, toilet smelt so staff attempted to mask the smell with a scent mixer bowl. Jacuzzi didn't have a working heater and the tv was unwatchable due to the poor satellite signal. Food was good for the breakfast buffett and the views of the bay were beautiful however the hotel overcharged me for this room with all the problems its not worth the money, I suggest you bring a wifi adaptor with you and if you are with Globe for Cell service you wont get reception.
• TejaswiniA790 (8/5): Great Stay - Spacious rooms, friendly staff and great views. While the property is still being expanded the owners of the resort personally ensured that guests were well looked after. It is surrounded by greenery so can effect phone network and wifi. But I would totally recommend it. Also located right opposite vanilla beach.
• Christine (2/5): - Flight was canceled due to typhoon. In fact, all guided tours were mandatory canceled. However, we still cannot get the refund. We had tried to call the hotel after the flight was canceled by phone without success. The line was busy- not sure wether the phone line was down. Therefore, the request could not be made on day1
• Malamang (8/5): - The views were excellent. Unfortunately, there was a problem with our room key card. But the staff did their very best to resolve the issue. Beer was a bit pricey compared to nearby hotel.
• Javier (10/5): - Amazing stay, staff and location. Is in front of a new center and one block from the beach. Perfect location lovely apartments, cosy and big room and bed. Shower was excelent and so the breakfast!
• deepakkumarchawla (8/5): A lovely place little away from city huddle - A beautiful place on a cliff with a lovely sunset view. Place is walking distance from Las Cabana and Marmegmeg beach. Both beaches are adjacent to each other and a must visit if you are in El Nido. Interiors of the room are great with daily cleaning. Staff will help you out with all your requirements like bike rentals, van booking for airport or anything else you would need in El Nido. Place is little away from the El Nido Proper town. You would rent out bike if you wan go out for dinners and all or shell 150 pesos each side on Tricycle. i would love to stay again.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice view of the ocean and overall atmosphere The rooms were on top of hills and some good exercise to burn calories from all the good food consumed. Def need to be in shape to make the stair climb to breakfast which is all the way on top a lengthy hill!
• DaniellaGK (8/5): Really good! Staff excellent - We love everything about this hotel. Our room was big and clean, the view was amazing, Location was good because we want to be separated from the noisy town, near a beach. And if you want to go to the town is 10 min in tricycle. Also there is a new modern strip “mall” 5 min away with good restaurants and massage place. In all my Asian trip, the best service and treatment was from this hotel, you don’t have to be a 5 star to have great staff!
• djo1987k (6/5): Bay view Resort - My wife and I stayed here twice, whilst travelling two and from other islands. A perfect choice not to stay in El Nido town proper (a little quieter) very close to the up and coming Marimegmeg beach, aptly re named Vanilla Beach. The rooms were well serviced, clean, beds comfortable, air conditioned and quiet. The staff and security guards were lovely, very helpful and obliging. Amenities were minimal so I would bring your own, safe included. (Slippers, towels, soap and tooth brush supplied), no mini bar and occasional power cuts (although this happens everywhere). The views from the restaurant and pool area were particularly lovely and like wise the view from our room of the forest. A couple of points to note, in part due to the expansion and development of this area. The Resorts restaurant is currently under construction so not open during the day, room service is available. There was an issue with wifi so it would be wise to purchase a Smart or Global SIM card, cheap and means you have access no matter what. As with the resort there is currently a large construction site opposite with a crane, seemingly quiet, but does change the forest view partly. Vanilla Beach is a hot spot and as a result has some good quality tree top and beach restaurants, shops, massage shops and a variety of sports activities. With this in mind I would still personally stay here again and prefer the quieter slower pace. Although parts or the area under construction it didn’t bother me much and it’s a result of now becoming a popular tourist destination.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beach and mall very close. Away from the busyness of main town
• Brittany Ann (6/5): Disappointed - We were very disappointed that there was 0 wifi our entire stay. This is crucial for travelers and there was no reimbursement or discount for something so necessary. The room we got wasn't the room we thought we booked so getting a dark room with only one window which everyone walking by can see in was not cool. The pool is right next to the dining commons and there was tons of construction going on, people constantly working even at 7am trying to enjoy breakfast. We found a few blood stains on our bed spread the first night and was sad about the lack of hot water, absolutely no warm water to shower with.
• Damian (8/5): - Great hotel but tv and wifi can drop right out. Staff are very helpful.no hot water tho in our room. Good food, wifi booster was put in at the end of our trip
• Robert (8/5): - Very nice. It was clean with friendly staff.
• Wa Ming (6/5): Don't book this hotel - Wifi very bad Booking a room for my family through hotels.com for 2adults,2kids(one 9yrs old,one 3yrsold), the hotel ask for extra payment for my 9yrs old daughter for 1000peso each night, I have never seen anywhere else in the world, the price of a room will depend on how many persons stay in.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Too many stairs, staff friendly. Was under construction
• Jessica (8/5): Great Hotel - My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. It’s a bit out of El Nido but a trike into town is 150 pesos = 3USD. The staff is very friendly, rooms were nice, and breakfast was yummy. The only complaint we had was there was no warm water.
• Stacey (8/5): - Brand new and beautiful. No trees. No personality. Wifi rarely worked. And I got eaten alive at the restaurant. Obviously not their fault. With the amount of stairs to get to the room, some shade would be amazing!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great spot for a short stay in PP - Great little spot for a short stay in Puerto Princesa. The service was wonderful and even though there were some glitches with our reservation in terms of the info being sent by the website to the hotel, both the website and the hotel worked together to get us both sorted. They accompanied us to the airport upon our departure and also brought breakfast to the room in the morning.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - the view is very nice but it's a climb. You also need to climb down to reach the beach. The room is nice and clean. It is about 10-15 mins to El Nido town. The restaurant is nice with nice view. The happy hour is cheap. Half the food in the restaurant menu is not available. Breakfast is meh.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - room was good, a bit too expensive, getting to the room is ok if you are a regular mountain climber. they have free wifi but the wifi doesn't have internet most of the time! also no mobile network inside the rooms
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 客室はとても清潔です。温かいシャワーもちゃんと出て安心しました。エアコンもしっかりきいていました。 フロントでツアーを申込んだのですが、当日に初めと話していたことと少し違うことがあり、少しもめましたが、その後出てきた別のスタッフの方がしっかりと対応していただいたので良かったです。朝食もビュッフェ形式で、目の前でシェフがオムレツを作ってくれるサービスがあり美味しかったです。 ホテルの設備としては、部屋の中のwifiが弱く不安定でした。 ホテルの場所はタウンから15分ほどトライセクルでかかってしまいますが、綺麗なビーチが近くにありよかったと思います。
• Patrick (4/5): Nice hotel but... - The hotel is nice and well located close to Las Cabanas beach. But it is surrounded by working areas. When the electricity is down, the generator is operated, leading to even more noise. So, if you are looking for a quiet place, forget it. The stairs, to the restaurant or to the higher accommodations, are also to be considered for people with disabilities. The room #101 is lacking of maintenance : leakage on the wall providing moisture inside the room, loose sink and tap, TV not functioning. Overall disappointment considering the price of the room.
• Verified traveler (6/5): 一般般 - 酒店晚饭太难吃了，牛肉和猪肉太硬了，根本嚼不动，上菜速度太慢了，不催不上，早餐还可以！怪不得一直都有空房，一句话，性价比太低了。
• Verified traveler (6/5): Neu gebautes Hotel in Strandnähe - Wir haben relativ kurzfristig gebucht und deswegen nicht viel Auswahl gehabt. Die Zimmer sind an sich komfortabel mit guter Klimaanlage, Fernseher und relativ gutem Bad. Wasser und Strom waren immer ok. Das Ressort wurde neu gebaut und aktuell werden weitere Bungalows gebaut. Generell gibt es viel Baustelle für weitere Ressorts in der Gegend (2018) und es ist deutlich mehr los als es auf Google Maps aussieht, aber es ist ok. Eine Fahrt ins Zentrum El Nidos kostet ca. 3 Euro per Tricycle, die auch gleich um die Ecke auf Kundschaft warten. Was leider auch für ein bisschen Verkehrslärm sorgt, aber durch die gute Klimaanlage kann Nachts ja das Fenster zu bleiben. Zu Fuß sind einige gute Strandbars und -restaurants gut erreichbar. Allerdings geht es steil bergauf vom Strand über die Straße zur Hotellobby und nochmal einige Höhenmeter zu den Zimmern und Restaurant. Das ist relativ anstrengend zu laufen. Wer mit dem Laufen Probleme hat, wird hier definitiv nicht glücklich. In jedem Bungalow gibt es oben ein Zimmer mit schönen Blick steil nach unten aufs Meer. Die Zimmer unten haben in die andere Richtung Blick auf ein Tal mit Meer etwas weiter hinten. Außerdem ist die "Terrasse" dieser unteren Zimmer gleichzeitig der Weg zu den anderen Zimmern und das Restaurant. Ich empfehle deswegen, besser eines der oberen Zimmer zu nehmen für eine Terrasse mit schönen Blick und Privatsphäre.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Hotel pas recommandé - -eau jaune dans la salle d’eau( lavabo,wc et douche) les deux derniers jours -lezards dans les chambres -service client au top
• Federica (10/5): - Il resort è molto carino e in una posizione fantastica. Si può usufruire della spiaggia nelle immediate vicinanze o partire per esplorare l’isola. Il personale molto gentile e disponibile.
• Shirley (6/5): A Few Things About This Place - First of all, there’s a huge staircase you have to walk up and down everytime you want to go to your room so if you don’t want to/can’t walk up and down, go somewhere else!!! I accidentally booked this place a day earlier than the day I was going to check in and decided to just pay for that night and check in the next day because it was a last min booking and the fees would probably come out the same. Then I got an email saying it was cancelled and I would be charged a whole bunch of other fees... My data connection was super spotty when I was driving up from Puerto Princesa so I couldn’t do anything about it. I was freaking out because I was with friends and it was my responsibility... Luckily when I got there, they took care of it and made sure I wasn’t charged extra. The next day, I heard a man complaining to the front about how there was a infestation in his room and brought dead bugs to the front desk and showed them pictures of how bad it was... That’s not all though... My friends and I met a couple from Vancouver BC and they smelled smoke coming from the room next door. I guess the TV caught fire and could’ve burned that complex down (there are about 5 2-story buildings with 2 rooms upstairs and 2 downstairs). A lot of problems here but besides that... It was okay... Oh yeah, the shower water wasn’t exactly cold but it was pretty warm. You won’t get very hot water but read from other reviews that that was common in El Nido.
• Marina (8/5): Эль Нидо - Отель достаточно уютный,новый,чистый. Рядом с пляжем Ласкабанас. Персонал приветливый. Единственное - в ресторане очень медленно обслуживают, и выбор блюд невелик. Даже тот что есть зачастую не пополняют. Костгард закрыл море на три дня и мы не смогли выехать на туры по островам. Нл это к отелю нп относится))
• Verified traveler (8/5): Improve - Everything was so good. Specially the view. Fitting hotel name. And staffs were very friendly but food wasnt that good need much more improve. Then will be so good hotel for everyone.
• Verified traveler (10/5): ベストステイin El Nido - すぐ目の前が、Las Cabanas Beachで最高のロケーションです。 スタッフのサービスも良く、ホテル全て階段を登らなくてはならないが、荷物も運んでくれる。 部屋も清潔で、インテリアがオシャレ。 広いテラスが付いていて、テラスからの眺めが最高でした。朝食も付いていて、レストランからの眺めも良かった。 部屋にwifiがあれば、perfect です！
• Nicolas (8/5): Hotel Cómodo y Limpio - Hotel lindo y limpio. Algo alejado del pueblo (15 minutos). Tiene una playa frente bajando unas escaleras.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Esta cerca de la playa de Las Cabañas, desayuno muy bueno.
• aaron (8/5): great relaxing place - We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. We stayed an an Bayview room with private outdoor pool. the view from the room and pool is totally amazing! Bed Is comfortable and room nice and spacious. the staff where all very friendly and helpful. The location is across the road from the nicest beach in the area. It's a short tricycle ride to town. A few points to note, they didn't bother us as we new before hand and you need to remember where you are: the wifi does not work at all, the power goes off between 1000 - 1400, and also we stayed for four nights and by the last day our pool was dirty so would of required to be emptied and cleaned for any further days stay.
• Graham (4/5): No Wifi - As with all reviews, read the good reports along with the bad ones. To give some context I have traveled widely around the world, with this being my 5th trip to the Philippines. My wife is originally Filipina and we are both British. Our trip involved some great 5 star hotels and resorts in Cebu/Boracay and Palawan. The Bay View Resort in my opinion is not a resort, but merely a comfortable set of cliff top suites. Their website states free wifi, but there is none available in the rooms. The wifi in reception and the eating area is extremely limited as it relies upon a mobile wifi repeater. At best the mobile phone signal is available a few minutes per day, so expect NO WIFI at all. I'll repeat for the benefit of the management, there is NO usable WIFI. The hotel should best be marketed as a quite comfortable retreat. No phone signal or wifi can be an advantage. The forest view rooms are ok, if not very over priced. The cliff top suites facing the bay are almost twice the price! Other really good resorts in the Philippines are the same price as this hotel. I would recommend more time in Cebu ( Crimson Resort) or Palawan (Princess Island Garden) or Sabang ( Sheridan). There is massive room for improvement and I suggest the management take some time to visit the resorts listed above and attend to the comments people post. The showers are still very difficult to control and achieve a constant temperature. Breakfast is disappointing.
• Helen (8/5): nice hotel, almost great - Comfortable hotel walking distance from beautiful Las Cabanas beach. Hotel is nice but has some flaws. Main complaint is that we asked for a foldout bed and they set it up and it had no mattress. The floor would have been more comfortable. My friend walked down to the lobby later that night for help with it and no one was there but a security guard. She didn't sleep a wink and then they had the nerve to charge us extra for that stupid bed! WIFI was poor, you had to go to the lobby and it was still slow there (and that is quite a walk). Other than that the employees were friendly enough and the view from the rooms can't be beat!
• E E (6/5): Nice and unique. - Nice and unique. Need some maintenance but we love the wading pool in the backyard. Walking distance from Marimegmeg Beach a nice long white sand beach.
• Ann (8/5): Santorini scene in El Nido - The place is unfortunately 2 miles away from downtown so if you want to go to the proper where all the restaurants and mini night life are, you have to take a tricycle for P150 but the hotel is great! Very clean, long stairs till you reach your room so good luck if you have heavy luggages but staff will carry it for you. Garden view is glorious! You can see the amazing creation of God as well as the sea view, so win-win for both types of room. Breakfast is good and you will have a fantastic relaxation in this hotel.
• Raghav (10/5): Great stay! - They have the best staff I have come across from so many hotels. The staff is warm, courteous, absolutely willing to do best for the guests and make the stay a memorable one. I was on my honeymoon and they ensured that it was worth remembering. The food is nice, the location is great (next to las cabanas) and they have all the facilities to arrange tours in El nido. We also got a complimentary dinner from the owner on one of the nights. The room is spacious and every time we entered our room it was decorated nicely with some handwritten notes by the staff. Things to be careful about: the rooms are located on a hill which you have to climb(72 steps to be precise) and the water is chargeable although we got 50% discount since we were not aware of it. I shall definitely come back here every time I visit El nido.
• Sonia (8/5): pleasant stay - pleasant overnight stay for next day international flight. there was renovation ongoing so it was a bit noisy during the early hours of the night but in all we managed to get a goodnight sleep.
• Juliana (10/5): - Beautiful view! Nice comfy spacious room. Up the hill from beach. Spa/pool still under construction. Great breakfast. Overpriced dinner menu and very slow service so did dinner at the local beach restaurants the rest of the stay.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice stay - I really enjoyed my stay here. Very nice grounds. Restaurant had really good food and it was inexpensive. The only downside is the wifi. A better signal is needed. Oh and maybe some hotter shower water. Other than that though, this place is great.
• Yotam (6/5): and o.k place with the potential for greatness - The resort and rooms are new, the staff was VERY friendly, courteous and helpful! the room was great and with a great bay view (we took an upgraded room) but it's way overpriced.... the main disappointment was the hot water issue. we didn't have any upon arrival. we asked it to be fixed and someone came and said it's now fixed. tried taking the shower and a minute in to it, no hot water again. we called them again and they told us it will take too long to fix it and offered the room next door for the shower issue. the next day it was fixed and we had hot water for a whole day! it was back to no hot water a day later. the breakfast also includes a long waiting- about 25 minutes. it's not a buffet- you have a small improvised menu that you have to choose from and order. when looking through reviews i saw the water issue is a reoccurring problem. after all the above said, if the hotel would assure i have hot water i would still get back to the hotel again because comparing to the hotels nearby it's a real treat and surroundings is beautiful. oh... and 2 minutes walk from the hotel you have a beautiful quiet public beach (los cabanas)
