Great place to stay in El Nido”
The island hopping tour was canceled due to the north monsoon but it’ll never be boring to just stay in the hotel. The deluxe pool access room was spacious, clean, & comfortable to stay in. Wish we could have tried their massage services. Nevertheless, the staff is accommodating, courteous, & very responsive with our requests and needs. There is a daily schedule for van transfer to Lio Beach and the town proper to & fro. Aside from that, the staff will help you coordinate island hopping requests and in-land yours with Kuya Joseph (a DOT accredited tourguide). Buffet breakfast serves different food daily with good assortment. Will definitely come back here if we ever travel back to El Nido. 😍 It’s really good value for money & location is good for in-land travel & island hopping, as well.

EXCELLENT”
We were a group of 21 people. As you know, it is hard to coordinate a trip for such big group. Charlie’s made our lives easier. Easy to contact Very friendly and accommodating staff: frontdesk, dining, housekeeping, shuttle drivers. Very clean rooms Safe place Very clean swimming pool They have spa too with reasonable prices 5 mins drive from Lio Airport They also share recommendations on where to go, what to do and where to eat Only comment I have is I hope they can improve the selection of food for breakfast buffet. But if you ask me of the highlight why I am amazed of this hotel is really their staff, customer service is 100/10. This differs them from other hotels I have been. Thank you Charlie’s. Til the next trip!

For a first timer in El Nido, Charlie's Hotels staff made us feel at home. Their Staff is very accommodating, from the time we arrived till we left the hotel. Their staff are very attentive with all that you need and try to accommodate our request as much as they can. The location is far from El Nido Town however the scheduled shuttle that the hotel provided is very convenient and it helps us save a few hundreds from commuting. The hotel is always clean and the interior looks new. Swimming pool is a plus. We loved spending time at their pool after a whole day of island hopping and activities. The restaurant food is really good. Breakfast buffet is just right, you'll have many options for your breakfast before you start your tours for the day. We will be back in El Nido and we will definitely be staying again at Charlie's Hotel.

My husband and I went there for our honeymoon. We originally booked a Deluxe room but they were fully booked for those rooms at that time so they gave us a free room upgrade (to one with pool access!). What a gift for our honeymoon. The hotel is a bit far from the town proper but if they have free shuttle services to get you to and from the town proper. Food is DELICIOUS. You really dont need to go far to satisfy your belly. We love the pool, the room itself, the food, the spa, the friendly staff. And oh! I still dream about the omelet! Will definitely go back!

FANTASTIC caring staff ”
The hotel is very modern and clean. The swimming pools are very clean and nice. There’s a wide selection of food at the breakfast buffet - they make omelettes, or eggs any way you like. The location is quiet, on the edge of town - too far to walk, but tricycles are easy to get, and I rented a scooter for my stay. Traffic is fast and a bit scary if you’re not used to that type of pace, be very alert and you’ll be fine. They have a very nice shuttle bus to/from a beach close by and to/from town. They also have a nice van to/from the airport. The best part of this hotel is the FANTASTIC staff - every one of them deserves a raise! They are very kind and helpful, they really care and it shows :-) Please tip these folks directly, they’d treat you just as well even if you didn’t, but believe me, they don’t make a lot and El Nido is quite an expensive place to live. The only downside is ‘sometimes’ in the lower level rooms there is a smell from the sewer drains - it’s awkward as otherwise this hotel would be a 10 out of 10. *Do not get your phone wet a the beach or on a tour. Phones don’t like the salt water. Many phones stop working in El Nido as a result. Trust me, do not put your water damaged phone in rice or use a hair dryer - the phone shop explained why (re: salt water), and do not plug it in if you are receiving water warnings. Take it to a local shop and they’ll try and save it before stuff shorts out. I did the A tour - prepare to get wet - I mean really wet - dress accordingly. Buy the waterproof packs folks are selling prior to the tours - and the phone protectors / you’ll be glad you did. Once offshore, El Nido is a very beautiful area to enjoy :-)

Absolutely amazing hotel in El Nido”
Charlie's El Nido was spectacular. We travel often and this is one of the best hotel/resorts we have ever stayed in. The hospitality of staff was amazing. Each one of them made you feel cared for; they were always happy, smiling and very quick to respond to any needs you had. The location was perfect, close to the airport, Lio beach and only 15 minutes from the town. The hotel provided free shuttle service to town which was great. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast buffet. I will definitely be back again and highly recommend to all!

One the BEST place to stay in El Nido!”
CHARLIE's ELNIDO is really one of the best! The place is definitely worth every cent and place is highly recommendable indeed! Location is great despite not being at the beach front. It’s just few minutes away from the Lio airport and Lio Beach. They offer free shuttle service to the Airport, to the town and Lio beach. They offer the BEST breakfast as well! I SWEAR! The best asset of this place other than it's amenities are it's amazing staffs who are super nice, the kindest, and very friendly! A big thanks goes to it's amazing staffs, especially Lovelyn and her colleagues. Will definitely come back here! :)

Excellent!”
My wife and I booked Charlie's as we wanted to take a few days to relax and this place is perfect for it. Outside of El Nido town but close enough if you need to get into it. We hired a moped from the hotel itself and had it for the duration of our stay, perfect to explore. Staff are unbelievably attentive, kind and very human as they all like to have a chat. Food was great, pools were great as was the gym. If you want to relax I cannot stress enough how nice it was here

Best Hotel in El Nido 👌🏻”
First, location is near Lio. If you want to eat out, you can avail the free shuttle to Lio or to the town. They have a schedule for this. Breakfast is buffet and it changes everyday. It is simple, but it’s good. Room looks really nice. Comfy bed, big TV and has a balcony. The toiletries are all paraben free 👌🏻 and smells good. Reception is available 24 hours, so if you need anything, you can just call them. Pool is kid friendly. They also have a spa 👌🏻 For travelers who wants convenience, this is the hotel for you. I have to give kudos to Argan too. I got covid last month and have to rebook a non-refundable booking, but they considered my situation, so THANK YOU! They also upgraded our room for the first three nights 💛

Best! The best in El Nido! Highly Recommended”
I can't wait to go back to Charlie's on April 2023. Aside from the fact that the place is astoundingly beautiful, the staff here are also AMAZING!! They catered to everything we needed since my son had a fracture during our stay. They even surprised me on my birthday. The water supply and internet was amazing as well. This hotel will complete your el nido experience! I finally got the reset that I've been looking for. Lol!

Great For Safe Solo Travel”
Charlie's includes airport transfers and in-land shuttle for all its guests. To add to this, they also book tricycle transfers with people they know who would not rip you off. The room amenities will depend on which type you book; however, you can be assured with their commitment to cleanliness whichever room you get. They may not have a beachfront but they partner with a good local agency for the famous tour packages in El Nido anyway. More than anything, I would definitely recommend Charlie's because I felt safe and cared for my entire stay. Thank you!

If I could give 10 stars, I would.”
Booked premiere room for 2 nights at Charlie's for my birthday. Luckily, I was given the best suite that has a center view of the amenities! The food was superb, too. I guess this is charlie's edge amongst other hotels in El Nido. They cater food with a twist. The staff were very warm and approchable, and very attentive to all our needs. We transferred to Seda Lio on our third day. And I must say, Charlie's El Nido, although smaller, has way better hotel service and convenience than that of Seda which is a luxury resort. The free shuttle to and from lio beach, el nido town and airport -- just wow. Unlike in Seda, where we had to walk from the parking lot to the lobby and to our room. So inconvenient. Anywaaaay... Will surely come back and recommend you to my colleagues. Thank you, Charlie's for making my birthday a very good one!

Perfect hotel ❤️”
First of all, I would like to thank all of Charlie's El Nido's staff. Due to a regional blockade in the Philippines, we had to leave El Nido suddenly on the third day of our trip. I think it would have been difficult to return home without the help of Charlie's El Nido staff. Thank you for taking a close look at the flights and transportation like it was your business. Charlie's El Nido has a perfect room condition and sophisticated interior for the new hotel. We have everything we need, including air conditioners, refrigerators, sofa, toiletries, etc. and cleaning the room is also good with towels art. We can also use WiFi perfectly without interruption. The water quality of the pool was kept clean every morning and afternoon, so we could enjoy a pleasant swim in a clean swimming pool without a single bug. Breakfast is served with bread, cereal, fruit and s Breakfast is served with bread, cereal, fruit and simple dishes with fresh juice. Really I enjoyed breakfas

Charlie’s El Nido: the best of all”
I visited Charlie’s El Nido from December 16 to December 20. During that time the typhoon affected Palawan for 2 days. 1- Prior to your flight, they send you emails to make sure you are okay with your flight and if there is anything you need 2- they have a shuttle that comes and pick you up once you arrive the airport. The shuttle also brings you to Lio beach and the town whenever you want to. (They have schedules) 3- when you arrive you are welcomed with a delicious and refreshing cocktail. 4- The food, swimming pool, rooms and personnel are all 5 stars. 5- They took extra measures with the typhoon. They ensured we were safe and provided extra care. I highly recommend if you visit El Nido. They give also cookies tonight 😋😋

A Place to go in El nido”
If you’re looking for a hommie place in el nido, this is one of my top picks. Staff are all great. Upon arrival they have welcome drinks. They have van service from Lio Airport and some places around the island that can pick you up to and from the hotel. Our room is spacious and you can just watch netflix if you have no activities for the day. They also serve good food from breakfast to dinner and some cocktails if you want to just chill. A plus for me is that they have a gym since I love to workout too. Money is super worth it. Will definitely book again in my next staycation at El nido :)
