"The worst DIVE ever. Upon walking in to the area, it was completely nasty. Was offered a room without air conditioning. Are you serious in the Philippines!. Walked right out and did not get a refund eventhough we did not stay there and the terms of agreement were not honored! Be extra careful with these rip-offs!"

"Much better than my stay at The Outpost a week ago. Decent sized single bed, effective blackout curtain, drying racks outside, a small changing area in the room for privacy, sufficient hooks for ‘stuff’ as well as aircon, a fan, plug sockets, hot water etc. It’s not somewhere to hang out although there’s the vegan cafe upstairs (they do have cows’ milk for coffee for those of us who still do that sort of thing) but it’s a great place to sleep despite its proximity to the main road. to the...

"The view was amazing, but the room wasn’t was we expected, we had the private room with the private bathroom. We had to call someone from the front desk every day to turn on the hot water. The room had a smell that was hard to get over. The hallway were dusty, they tried to clean them as much as possible. And you can’t use your shoes inside. Like most reviews said, the steep hill going up is quiet something, i would recommend to use the stairs leading down to the beach (your legs will thank...

Bahala Na Villas

4.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"This place was amazing, we stayed for 4 days. Its a little difficult to find cause it goes into some small streets. Transportation isn't easily accessible, but the staff coordinates the transport anytime on your behalf whether its a tricycle or a private van. I reccommend taking the tricycle if you're brave enough and looking to save a significant amount of money. El Nido proper is about 25-30 mins away by tricycle and 15-20 by van. Cellphone reception wasn't too good on the property, so you...
