"Big Paul’s is the place to be in El Nido - we didn’t know what to expect and opted for a private twin room with for £15 each
Free rum and coke - for 3 hours
Copious free shots - made by Paul himself
Loads of other amazing backpackers from around the world
Free breakfast and just everyone is so nice!
5 mins in a tricycle from El Nido town centre
Bike rental yards away
Can’t fault it one bit - we only wish we could have stayed longer (my liver probs couldn’t take it though)"
"From the supervisors, waiters ans waitresses and housekeeping people, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. The room that we got is an ocean view with balcony, which has the best views you can ever have. The location of the hotel is in Vin Beach, which has its own beachfront access, which is very clean and has security for the hotel. Thank you to Norvin and Mitch for all their assistance! Extremely happy with the hotel and would definitely come back! "
"I really liked this tiny resort. Staff was very friendly. Food in the restaurant was outstanding. The location close to the beach with a little pool was nice. The rooms where small, but clean and comfortable. I would come back."
""I had an incredible stay! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking view—it was truly unforgettable. What made the experience even more special was the outstanding hospitality. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming at every turn. Whether it was the front desk team, housekeeping, or even the security guard, everyone went out of their way to greet me with a smile and show genuine respect. This level of service is rare and truly appreciated. I can't wait to come...
"Staff was super friendly. Accommodations were very nice and the pool and restaurant had a beautiful setting. The only thing I would warn everyone is they only accept cash (Pesos) so bring cash for amenities and the on site restaurant. Highly recommend "
"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. "
"This place is beautiful. The staff was amazing, very kind and friendly. They do everything they can to help you however they can. Our hut or housing was very nice and on the porch was 2 comfortable chairs and a hammock which was a very nice touch. Some people were saying that the water for showers were cold and my girl did too, but i just left it running for a couple minutes and it heated right up and stayed that way. They do have scooter rentals and free rides into town but to get to the resort...
"Very nice hotel, the rooms are very clean, it's very close to the beach and the staff is lovely. We loved our stay there, they were all very nice and helped us booking everything. Thanks!"
"We are so happy that we chose to stay at Bayview Country Inn at El Nido. All the staff are friendly,
(thank you everyone), food are so yummy, our room is so clean, bathroom and toilets are clean too. I highly recommend this hotel. "
"I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Stunning Republic, and I can't recommend it enough for beach lovers! Located just 20 feet from the sandy shores, this hotel is perfect for anyone looking to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean.
From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel at home. The check-in process was quick, and I was immediately captivated by the stunning view from my room. With a private balcony overlooking the beach, I could enjoy the sound of the waves and the...
"This property suited our needs perfectly. It’s right on the water and right in the center of El Nido. It’s right next to restaurants, tour information, and a convenience store, plus an easy area to grab a trike. The only complaint I have is that the rooms are all adjoining so it was a bit loud if you have neighbors. We could hear the rooms next door TV all night. Otherwise it had exactly what we needed and the staff was SO nice and caring. "
"lovely, authentic place located in beautiful nature surroundings on the top of the hill (mind there are a lot of steps to get up there, although worth it). Walkable distance (1 km ) from the Vanilla beach , were all main amenities such as ATM, shops and restaurants are available. Overall great place and definitely would recommend it."
"Really enjoyed my stay at Coco Garden. The owner Ray, his associates George and Gerri Lynn made my experience in El Nido memorable. Treated me and every other guest like family. Ray will do what he can to assist in your travels. The property itself is close to Vanilla Beach and some eateries. It’s more chill than the standard hostel. Rent a scooter and you’ll be good. Wi-fi in all of El Nido is spotty, so you have to patient, but Ray will help you if you’re in a pinch. Will be looking forward to...
