    Not closed to crowded place in town, beside the high way so easy access for transportation. Can go to maremegmeg or vanilla beach that are good for swimming and sunset viewing 3mins tryk or 30mins chill walk. Quiet place, staff are accomodating and they're helping you arrange your tour and van transfer hassle free. WiFi is good it's just the mobile signal is on and off you need to go up a bit. Good value for money.

    Just okay but not recommended 🤷🏻‍♀️”

    First, the location is far from the town but that’s okay. I rate this 3 star is the room rate is quite expensive that’s why we expect the value of what we are paying for. Aircon is not working!!!! There’s no water dispenser to refill water we need to buy bottle water everytime and it’s not eco-friendly. Then, wifi connection sucks, we need to go down stairs at reception area just to connect to the internet because there’s no connection in 2nd and 3rd floor. I highly suggest book your stay near El Nido Town to save you money and for your convenience.

    7 Nights Stay at St. John”

    We arrived in the evening from Puerto Princesa and we were warmly welcomed. Nice room for it's price, the staff were helpful and accommodating. The bed matress was so old that it's uneven and warps too much as we lay in bed. We have to ask twice to have this issue addressed, explaining that we have back problems and uneven matress is not good. Airconditioning was extremely loud, we have to turn them off to be able to sleep. Windows have mesh in them but not properly installed, mosquitoes came in our room and we're constantly on fire scratching. WC/toilet had nice heated water, which is really nice. Water stinks like sewer though. Breakfast was nice, with added protein from tiny ants. Location was like 5kms or more away from town. A trike ride is Php 100, can walk as well. Access to the beach was not the best. No proper walkway installed. Overall, we could have stayed at some better place but we're glad we have been accommodated.

    Our one of the best accommodations”

    Thou St. John is quite far from downtown, it is okay for me coz i want a quiet and a scenery of nature everytime i wake up. I availed a family room for 4pax in very affordable price since i made a reservation around 7mos. in advance thou we are actually 5pax coz of a baby so upon arrival they upgraded our room to deluxe family room for 5pax with no extra charge, what a bonus one! and situated on the ground floor which is the room #1. The staff were very responsive to our needs and request, the breaksfasts are good with many options and you will have it on 3rd floor. They clean the room everyday without telling to do so unless you dont want ur room to be cleaned just inform the frontdesk officer. The place is near to Las Cabanas and also there is a sari saring store across the street. They also provide a space on side of the building where you can hang your wet clothes. St. John Island View Pensionne is really beautiful and a cozy homey hotel, and im happy that i made a right choice. What you see in the picture is what you can get. Thank you St. John and its staff for unforgattable amazing experience! Till next time.

    Really helpful staff and good services”

    It was a good decision to choose St. John as an accomodation. First of all, it is not important to be in El Nido town, so maybe it's better to enjoy great sunsets near St John bars. Nearby Las Cabanas Beach is great. Staff was very helpful and arranged a lot of services in decent prices that we needed, for example: Island hopping tours, van to Puerto Princesa, motorbike rental. The services were not more expensive because of this (we checked) and you even got a pick-up for them. The interieur of the rooms could have been better, but the accomodation was clean.

    Dear Guest, Thank you for extending your time to review your stay with us. Yes, maybe we are a bit far from the town proper but still our place has a lot to offer. The Las Cabanas beach which is 3km away from the hotel, a good place to swim and watch sunset. We have a lot of places such as bars and resto' near our place about 5 minutes away. Our staff extend their time and effort to help every guests for activity plans as well. We are upgrading our rooms little by little for better service. Thank you. Hope to see you again.

    a great location, accomodating staff and worthy”

    the view is amazing; the staff is warm and welcoming; the service is more than satisfying

    From the moment we arrived we were met with a warm and genuine smile, considering we arrived at midnight. The rooms were well maintained and quite comfortable. All our needs were catered for, with regard to the tour organisation and any transport requirements. The breakfast was adequate and always brought timeously. The drawback was the rooms were not regularly cleaned, which when requested was attended to and our linen was changed too. I would definitely consider going back to stay at the St John Island View Pensionne house when I next visit El Nido. I recommend people to stay here because it was also located in a quite portion of the town and within walking distance to most amenities and the beach.

    Great value for the money, very sweet and helpful staff”

    We really enjoyed this spot. We spent way too much on an overpriced room at more popular hostel Outpost next door before moving to St. John for the remainder of our 7 days here. The room was basic but all we needed, clean bed and clean bathroom with good AC and fan. Free breakfast was a huge bonus and saved us a lot of money as finding decent breakfast in El Nido is expensive. The only cons about this place was that the wifi stopped working half way thru our stay, which wasn't a huge deal as wifi is spotty everywhere in Palawan but we really needed it to plan and book future trips during our visit and it didn't seem like they made any effort to get it back up and running. Overall this place was a great value for the price and we would highly recommend it!

    Thank you for this wonderful review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay here with us. Yes we offer rooms that are affordable but we always see to it that the service and comfort of our guest has not been compromised. With a variety of breakfast meal you can choose from. Cleaning rooms is our daily routine to ensure a pleasing and comfortable room for our guests every day. We regret what happened to our internet during your stay here. But we really did everything that we can to fix the problem; it’s just that the technician of the internet service provider is based at Puerto Princesa City so it takes days for them to mend the problem here at El Nido. Again thank you so much.

    Pleasant Stay”

    St. John Island View exceeded my expectation of a pension house with fantastic location/view and sound accommodation, not to mention the attentive and caring gestures extended by the staff. My only suggestion for improvement are to change the getting-worn-out towels, linens and to fix the air con in our room which was already creating disturbing noise. However, overall, recommended for good service and value for money. Thanks!

    Value for money, friendly staff, close to Corong Corong beach

    We stayed in St Johns for one night and then decided to come back after we spent a few nights in El Nico town. The resort of Corong Coring is much quieter and the beach is much nicer than in El Nido town. The staff at St Johns are really helpful and the breakfast is good.

    Nice place to stay in El Nido”

    Very friendly staff! Third floor dinning area has a nice sunset view. Hotel offers the best rate from what I found for an automatic motorbike rental for the day. It's 60php trike ride (one way) to town. Our room was a little small but we didn't come to El Nido to stay in the hotel room. We were able to get our laundry done and they even got a stain out of my white shirt that the professional laundromat couldn't get out. It's not exactly in the beach as you have to walk about 3 minutes and down two pathways to get there. The beach is a little muddy so it's not ideal for swimming but great for a nice sunset and walk during low tide. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it for an affordable place in El Nido so you can save some money for all the activities. Plus, the continental breakfast (free) was just enough to fill me up, so that was very nice as well! Give it a try, you should like it there, I know we did.

    2 weeks in El Nido near Marimegmeg”

    Position, breakfast, staff

    We booked this hotel for only 4 days, but later we found it really nice and good price/quality ratio, so decide to extend our stay to 2 weeks. Hot shower was well working, TV only in the luxury room, beautiful common terrace to see the wonderful sunset. Since November 2014 the power is on 24h and 3G high speed internet is everywhere, buy a Globe Sim card for your Smartphone. + The place is outside the town centre so you will have no day/night noise, 1 km to walk (or tricycle taxi) to the absolute best beach ever Marimegmeg (Las Cabanas). Dinner in the city centre (fresh fish grilled) with tricycle taxi for 20 Pesos pro person (3 km) or nice dinner directly at the hotel + Owner always helpful giving us a lot of useful advices and informations regarding the area and the local habits + Very nice breakfast made with nice Filipino food in an international way (breakfast included is really a plus in this area) - Roosters make noise on the night everywhere in El Nido, take ear plugs
