Cozy like home”
Our wonderful stay in El Nido can't be whole without mentioning Relucio Travellers Pension. It was a bit sad to have to say goodbye to our kind & friendly owners. I'll come back for sure and look forward to the new renovation.

Ideal location for el nido on budget”
The Relucio Travellers Pension is the ideal stay for travelers on a budget who still want to enjoy clean and comfy rooms during their time in El Nido. Perfect location, both on the beachfront and at the heart of the village. Everything you need (especially restaurants) is at walking distance. Incredible view over the ocean from the Pension's balcony. Best for breakfast (free instant coffee and tea provided, you can get take-away food from surrounding shops.) Another good point is that you can book all your tours (island hopping, boat to Coron, kayak) directly with the tenant of the place. Prices are the same, if not lower, as those proposed downtown. Recommended.

What a view!”
We had a fantastic time at Relucio Travelers Pension. The staff that we dealt with were very friendly. Our room led out onto the balcony overlooking the bay. The AC worked well when there was power and the bed was comfortable. One flight of stairs and out a doorway and you're on the beach. When my wife's and another guest's swimming costumes went missing, the manager followed up on it immediately and they were returned before we left. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Value for Money, View and Awesome Staff”
Getting into the accommodation, I was happily greeted by the owner of the pension house and showed me my room. I only rented a fan room and was budget constricted at this point so I didn't upgrade to an air-conditioned room. Terrace was overlooking the sea - relaxing, this is my favorite part of this pension house. You also get to enjoy the complimentary coffee and tea just lined up on the left side. You also have your water dispenser on the right. You can also arrange tours with them and rent kayaks for your island hopping activities. The place is also near the beach strip where you can find your su-to-kil selection of sea foods. Prices in El Nido are just plane expensive tho. Prepare your wallets people. Thank you.

Great location, Friendly staffs”
We had a really nice stay at Relucio Travellers Pension. The room was really comfortable - nice beds, and location was perfect - close to the beach and in the middle of the town. Water and coffee are available all day. They have a beautiful sea-view balcony. The staffs are very helpful with arranging our island hopping tours.

Central location, reasonably priced”
We stayed for 6 nights. The "family room" was cozy, although a bit smaller than we thought, with a small balcony towards the street. The location was great, we loved spending our time relaxing in the terrace with the beach just on the doorstep downstairs. The view there was stunning. Endless water and coffee supply. The owner was nice enough and she helped us book one of the island hopping tours for a bit lower price than everywhere else we saw. As for El Nido, which has become a very touristy place, this pension is very reasonably priced. What could be improved: The bathroom was shared which wasn't an issue, although some cleaning of the walls every couple of weeks and fixing the drainage would be useful. Sheets were only changed once in the 6 nights of stay, upon our request. I feel they should be changed every couple of days. If you are going to use the pension's laundry services, make sure you separate the whites from the colours - otherwise you may end up with colour stains!

Nice hotel on the water front ”
Rooms were clean, AC was cold. facilities were clean. Complementary breakfast was excellent!! WIFI was good with decent speed but spotty in certain spots FYI (WiFi connection is good near the little Coffee station in the 2nd floor thats if you have a room on the 2nd floor wifi router is right below that spot.) Hotel is in a perfect location right in front of the water and in heart of El Nido tourist district. I would stay here again. The staff were friendly and super helpful The view of El Nido harbor is amazing but I would not swim in the water because thats where all the tourist boats park and the tides bring in trash from the open water. Other than that El Nido and its surrounding islands are the most stunning places I've been in my lifetime. Hopefully this beautiful place with not get trashed like other places in the Philippines and South East Asia. #trashtag

Good value for money”
We stayed here for 6 nights and it was good, I would recommend it. There is a common terrace with a beautiful sea view and we had also balcony in our room facing the street. Staff was nice and helpful (we have read some negative reviews before, especially about the guy at reception, but everything was good during our stay), they asked us if we need to clean our room during our stay, they let us to have a shower afternoon after check-out when we returned from a tour and we also rented a motorbike there for a good price. There are some negative points - no big issue, but it is better to know before. We saw some rats on terrace and balcony - they are harmless and I think it is a common problem in El Nido, just do not let your balcony doors open during night. Also there is no WIFI and there is burger smell on balcony as there is a burger stall under it.

Good stay at Relucio Travellers Pension”
I stayed for 6 nights in Relucio Travellers Pension. Room's size is OK, bed is comfortable. AC works well but no Wi-Fi. (TIP: you might use the Wi-Fi of one of the next hotels.) The Pension has a fantastic location, next to the beach. My room had a balcony exit that had a seaside view, really nice! During my 6 day stay the room was cleaned only once and I had to ask for it. Downstairs the public spaces of the pension are quite dirty, stinky and full of useless things. The pension has a great value for money. Although with more cleaning and tidying up the public places they could improve the hotel to a much higher level. It would deserve it.

Excellent Budget Accommodation”
This pension couldn't be better located, being right in on the oceanfront in the heart of El Nido. The view of the bay from the balcony was superb. The couple who ran the place were very kind and attentive and I'd definitely stay here again.

Excellent place to stay at El Nido”
Excellent sea view at balcony. Free coffee, clean rooms at reasonable price. The proprietor is very nice and helpful. The island hopping trips arranged by her son are excellent with reasonable price (she would offer discount). Will stay at the Hotel again if I will visit El Nido again.

Budget beachfront”
Amazing location Hotel balcony overlooks beach. You eat your breakfast on the balcony every morning. Self-service coffee available at about 6 a.m. Recommend getting your island hopping tours through the hotel they will let you rent a kayak to take with you. This will save you from renting a kayak at multiple locations while island hopping.b Our room was small but clean with constant hot water and good quiet air conditioning. The Wi-Fi was pretty slow but that is similar with many hotels in El Nido. There are at least 7 restaurants within a 30 second walk of the hotel front door.

Came for two nights stayed for four”
In El Nido, If you want to walk to restaurants, you need a hotel in town. This place is on the beach, close to a great dive shop, a stones throw away from several good restaurants, and a minute from the ferry. It has a really a convenient location and is family occupied and very friendly. I dove or snorkeled most days and was only a minute away from both. I initially stayed in the fan room on the street which was your standard relatively clean Asian fan room with a private bath and standard low water pressure. It was not bad nor great, but it was a decent value for a private toilet. The cheaper fan rooms share a pretty private public bathroom, so I wouldn't have hesitated to stay in those rooms if I'd known. The value of those is excellent. My last two nights, I stayed in one of the aircon rooms facing the bay with a sliding glass door. That was exceptional and the best room in the house "Ben". Here are the big pluses: 1. First, the public balcony has a beautiful view of the ocean and free coffee every morning. It's a nice place to meet fellow travelers and I did many times. 2. The host, Marilynn, is very friendly and helpful - a warm person. Her son and husband also help run the place. 3. The aircon I moved to on the 3rd night was on the side with new construction and is not average, but pretty far above what I had expected. It's a clean, solid quality room with an ocean view through a sliding glass door. The private bath is also new, so no antiquing going on there. Water pressure, just OK. Name of that room "Ben". Summary: Marylynn and her aircon rooms are great for this location. The standard fan rooms are good for the money. Not the Four Seasons, but upper middle for a backpacker type area.

Very helpful staff”
This property like everywhere else in El Nido is fairly small and a little overpriced compared to elsewhere in the country. However, the staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful in organising things. The room although very small was clean with a hot shower and A/C. The breakfast balcony overlooks the ocean with a view. Its in the middle of El Nido so surrounded by places to eat and drink. Unfortunately this also means some of the rooms facing the main road are fairly noisy due to traffic and people walking past. The WiFi was fairly useless but thats an El Nido problem more than anything - all the premises use a 4G dongle into a router and the sheer number of people in town means the mobile mast cant cope. Most of the time its totally unusable. The only slight downside is 2 of the rooms (ben,len) had a smell of diesel as they keep the containers for the boat downstairs from them overnight.

Centrally located, Beach front”
Our room has a beach front view. It has a nice balcony in front of the beach where it's nice to relax. Has unlimited free coffee, the street where it's located is the central of El Nido Town. Lots of restaurants to choose from. Hotel is family-owned and they are very warm and friendly to guests. This is a very good budget hotel.

AMAZING”
We stayed here 5 nights and its in the perfect location. right on the beach our room back onto the balcony where we had a table where coffee was provided :). The Family was so nice and made us feel like part of the family. we hired scooters through James and he even gave us a quick lesson and tips on how to drive around on the busy roads. We also hired kayak from James and kayaked to a nearby island. If we come back to El Nido we will stay here again :) good wifi and shower :)

Lovely balcony”
Great value for money in the heart of el Nido. Good breakfast, nice people, clean room and amazing view from the balcony. On the cons, in the room we stayed the door didn't lock, and without a key you were able to open it. If they fix this and the WiFi it will be the best choice in El Nido for a low budget stay.

Great location in El Nido”
We had a great stay at here! Being right on the water and right in the middle of town was a huge plus. The staff here were very helpful in booking tours for us, helping us find our way around and helping us to find rentals and other activities. The place has a few cosmetic issues but nothing that really bothered us. This is a great place to stay in El Nido for the price, we would recommend and stay again!

Cheap and beautifully located but comes at a cost”
Perfectly located on El Nido beach, Relucio Travellers Pension is ideal for backpackers or people on a tight budget and that don't mind about a small rodent problem - I unfortunately had been earlier to Bakers Hill in Puerto Princesa, the smell was too much for a little mouse to resist. The beds have a mosquito net that can easily be tucked into the mattress thereby keeping any little critter out from your immediate sleeping space. Internet is intermittent as it seems to be in all of El Nido, fortunately the Art Cafe with their solar powered wifi (wifi all day) is less than a minute walk from Relucio. No backup generator at Relucio so electricity turns off at 6am along with the rest of the town.

Great Location”
This place is highly recommended for tourist who are looking for a place in El Nido with a great location. The place is close to the beach where the boats dock for island hopping and also close to restaurants and night life. Place was clean and staff were courteous and friendly.
