EL Nido Hostels

We stayed 4 nights at Raje Residence in room 402. It's a family run hotel and provides very basic clean AIR-CONDITIONED rooms with ensuite facilities. Staff and owner is all friendly. Approx. 15mins walk to the city centre. We didn't mind the short walk, as it was good exercise. There is no fridge or TV in the room, but WIFI connection is good. The air-con is a small box, so a bit of noise - but it didn't bother us, as each day after sight seeing and doing tours we just past out. We could not hear street noise from our room. The shower pressure was strong. The continental breakfast is actually quite good. You get pancake, waffle or toast choice, and how you want your eggs cooked (fried, omelets etc) and a slice of fruit, plus tea or coffee. Good start to the day! For the Price you paid it's a great place to stay if you want a clean bed and hot shower. We would recommend them.

The hotel is simple but quite comfortable and clean. There were 6 nights. No special difficulties experienced. Staff polite. Happy to help us. And the restaurant in Elnido told where to take the bike and how to go to the market. Breakfast was included in the cost.

Great place to escape from the city life, relaxing and perfect to be on time for the island hopping tours , close to restaurants and shops, moreover with a nice staff.

TThe resort is “off the beaten track” and perhaps a 45-minute transfer from the airport. The owners have planning permission for eight bungalows but stick with six as being optimal for the guest experience. The bungalows have screens rather than windows, so you fall asleep to the sound of the waves; each has its own balcony. There is only a small cluster of other buildings on the beach which stretches for about a kilometre, so it’s mostly deserted. The week I was there wasn’t great for swimming due to stronger waves than normal—quite a few people come here to surf--but I still had a great time. Breakfast is included, but I had almost all my lunches and dinners at the resort as the meals are inexpensive and tasty. The special seafood Christmas Eve meal was amazing. It’s an eco-conscious spot with solar power; wifi (via satellite I think) is available for a few hours every day. Very friendly owners and staff. I really recommend this place.

●Double room for 25€ per night what is cheap for el nido, but it probably was there (22.01.20) a building site before the hotel. The staff was very friendly and the garden area behind the hotel is also very nice with good view+slangs. The rooms are also beautiful, unfortunately there is no hot water in the shower. ● The hotel is well organized and also provides tours for example the A,B,C and D BootsTours. We booked Tour C here. This was unfortunately CATASTROPHAL !!! • hidden cost (300peso+) • small boat + overfyld • poor condition of the boat. e.g. (The direction is broken and we couldn't guide anymore, with strong waves on the open sea) • Not all the images in the outstanding booklet are true. When we complained about the tour, the staff became very quickly very unfriendly and asked us to pay on our bill immediately and not only when check out

We took the island tour A with Aqua Travel and were more than pleased with the adventure. The whole day was well planned and the staff ensured that everything went smoothly for everyone which is important when there is a lot of other tour groups and boats in the same areas. We have to put in a special mention to the manager of Aqua Travel ,whom went above and beyond to help my wife and I obtain a travel pass ( S pass ) in order to get to our next destination (El nido) We were having all kinds of trouble finding someone that could help us out and she took it upon herself to assist us, which took hours of her time. She was our saviour in a very stressful time and we can't thank her enough. Thanks to Kynie, Mike and his crew, we will definitely be taking another tour with Aqua Travel next time we visit El nido !
