Good place, Good service and Good people”

Highly recommended accomodation in EL Nido. When we arrived from more than 16 hours of trip from Baguio City to El Nido to the hotel they offer us free coffee and the check in is fast. Our room is worth the price it is clean and more space than expected. Beach front is clean and also the surrounding around our room. Breakfast is good and served well. Cudos to all the staff they are all nice and they do take care of their guest. 5 star for this place and will come back soon

Loved our stay. ”

Throughly enjoyed our time here. The location was perfect for us, not in the busy port area meaning less chaotic. That being said fantastic scooter rental available from the hotel or 2 mins down the main road for getting around. The staff were so friendly and the breakfast was fantastic each day. Right next to the beach so brilliant views while you eat. Kayaks available to rent just a few doors down the beach and great restaurants also within walking distance. (Bella vita pizza was great)

Best Accommodation for Budget Conscious Tourists”

Mina Grande is located along coastline of Corong Corong beach. I would say that its the best area to check in if you are looking for beach front accomodation on a tight budget. The place is 5 min walk to El Nido public market and 10 to 15 min tricy ride to the heart of kabayanan. The room and rest rooms are clean which i think is very important. This is equipped with bidet and hot/cold water temp regulators. The staff are very friendly and accommdating, could be better if they interact with tourists. The staff looks shy and timid. Overall. Id be back to stay here in El Nido.

Value for money! Great stay!”

Pros: The place is a bang for the buck. Very nice view and great location! The room is small but decent for two of us and it comes with hot shower. The bed and pillows are comfortable, the AC is working well. They serve great breakfast and coffee for free. You can request to clean the room and change sheets as well as towels every other day. The place is near town and walking distance to most establishments and the meeting area for tours. Cons: The water from faucets are brownish and smelled like rust except for the shower. You have to use mineral water when brushing your teeth and washing your face. Also, the room we booked were supposed to have TV but the room given to us does not have one. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will highly likely book this place again when we come back to El Nido.

The complimentary bfast is okay. They also provided free van transport for us from Puerto Princesa because they picked us late and we greatly appreciate it.
