"This is a beautiful place within 10-15 mins boat ride from the lagoons. The accommodation is spacious and tastefully decorated. The only complaint was a bit of rain coming through the roof at times of heavy rain. Staff cannot be more accommodating, friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome and right at home. They offer quite a few inclusive excursions to nearby attractions, which is very nice. Food in the restaurant is a bit dear for the Philippines but the taste and quality is...
"This property was one of the nicest on Corong Beach. Sitting under the trees looking out at the sea was perfect. A great restful spot which is what we were looking for. We had some initial WiFi issues, but the IT guy was able to fix it pretty quickly. "
"Karuna has breathtaking views, simply beautiful. Dining in their restaurant is an experience itself, the food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and attentive, a wonderful reminder of how proud I am to be of Filipino heritage. The service is very professional and prompt. The pathways have an inline since it’s located in the mountain so if you are unable to physically walk up and down it may not be suitable but if you have no physical limitations then look no further, this place will be...
"It was the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in my life with the exception of not having an elevator. We had to climb about 6 stories of steps up the side of a mountain but worth every penny. It was the most beautiful view from a hotel I have ever seen. When you get to your room you really find it hard to leave your balcony. My recommendation for the next person is dress for the beach and leave a bag with dry clothes at the front desk so that you only need to do the climb once a day. ...
"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)"
"Excellent!! Staff is what really makes this resort. Shout out to Val from front desk who literally remembers every single guest name in the hotel. Also, Vince (server/bartender) who took care of us. The complimentary trip to Papaya beach was the highlight of the our stay, thanks to Val for convincing us to go:)"
"Good customer service, friendly staffs, cleanliness is one of their top priorities, very accessible to everything and it is facing to the mountains (beautiful views). Overall, I love the place and everything is amazing."
""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...
"Great stay, friendly staff, breakfast buffet was good, a bit predictable having the same thing basically every morning. The only complaint would be the shower was a bit moldy and there was nowhere to hang your towels. Also the shower is basically visible to
entire room if and no separate place to change, so if you are sharing a room with someone you don’t want to be unclothed in front of it makes it inconvenient. Otherwise a great place."
"Peaceful and quiet stay. relaxing ang chill. the place is great to stay, excellent views. We were even upgraded to beach villa. staff are friendly and helpful.
restaurant has a variety of international and local cuisines. Tried tasty grouper shashimi straight from the sea. they have a cage for live fish and we just pick the one we need. would definitely come back. wifi is 250MBPS in a very remote area. so I was also able to do some work. "
"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...
"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. "
