Great hotel and wonderful staff!”

The beachfront property is within walking distance to the heart of El Nido town proper. Or if you prefer as locals recommend use their public means of transportation- the tricycle to get around. Their breakfast buffet offerings are varied and very tasty and well-prepared. The room amenities are like a 5-star hotel from interior decor and design, with rain shower head and hose spray, herbal toiletries, and almost everywhere in the room, the ENGR logo and hotel name are visible throughout including their hot water electrical pot and accent pillows! ! Despite the poor WI-FI service in the hotel, i enjoyed my stay in this highly recommended hotel

Excellent location ”

Close to the city proper, lots of good restaurants and stores. This is about 15-20 min tricycle drive from Lio airport. Property is beachfront with a big pool. Breakfast is really good. Staff are friendly but one staff was on his cellphone most of the time and I have to approach him to assist me with check in. The room is clean and well maintained. The only downside is the poor internet connection in the room. Front desk says theres only good connection in the lobby. Otherwise its a good experience for us.

Nice stay - well located for us”

The hotel is fairly new and very modern, unlike many of the other beach front properties in town. Some of the others actually look abandoned. They may have failed due to the covid crisis. Our purpose of the stay was to go scuba diving and our dive shop, Palawan Divers, was 3 minutes from the hotel. The beach in El Nido is not the best, but the view from the pool area is unbeateble, especially at sunset. For beach fun, most people go island hopping. It is still nice to stay right at the beach. Right at the beach is also a seating area where food is served, something we enjoyed almost every evening. The food was very good, although the breakfast (served inside) was average but sufficient. The staff was friendly and efficient, cleaning was good. However, be prepared to pay with cash only. We experienced a power outage once, but the hotel's diesel generator started quickly. Overall, a very good experience.

Great value for our honeymoon ”

The service at El nido garden is great, very friendly and accommodating . They’ve helped us multiple times with booking our tours even with unexpected changes. The laundry service was really fast and the clothes smell and look great. Whenever we need our room clean the housekeeping is fast. There are also security guards who are really nice. Breakfast is delicious and more like a brunch because there’s rice and different meat options included. The fresh fruit and juices are amazing. We wish the coffee was stronger. The rooms are comfortable and we were impressed with our AC and Wifi, considering the location. Right outside of the resort across the street are motorcycle tuk tuk taxi drivers that took us anywhere we wanted at a very affordable price. There are a lot of popular restaurants nearby. The port to take the tours is walking distance. If you are considering El Nido for your honeymoon it’s a great place! We love it!

Beach front resort in the heart of el nido”

We stayed from 23-28th Dec and enjoyed our time. The rooms were fine though hot water/shower pressure is something that is hard to come by in Philippines. Breakfast was fine- fried eggs on request and then a combination of some western and Asian dishes. Pool was also good and there was a pool table. All in all it’s one of the better resorts in el nido and in a great spot My main criticism would be the staff. We had booked an island tour and everyone from our hotel was picked up in a mini van except us. We were transported to the beach via a tricycle and instead waited for 2 hours on the beach being told there was no booking despite paying 3 days earlier. We eventually were told 3 different boats and said it was because our hotel did not book us in. Book your tours elsewhere if you want a hassle free stay!
