Our stay was terrific. The Buko team was incredibly accommodating, both ahead of our arrival and once we were here. The service was top-notch. Estephania and the reception team helped us arrange transportation, tours, and a special dinner to celebrate one of our party’s birthday. When we arrived, we found they had also decorated our room especially for his birthday and every member of the staff had signed a birthday card. The restaurant and bar was also excellent. The food was good and the menu diverse. We tried many breakfast, lunch, and dinner options and they were all delicious. The restaurant team, Roseann, PJ, and Rollen, were always very attentive. We stayed in the Sea View Cottages and found them to be cozy, intimate, and clean. The air conditioning worked great and the bedding was comfortable. The cottages were outfitted with every possible means of mosquito repellent, and the outdoor bathrooms were modern, clean, and tranquil. The pool was clean and cool, which we found to be rare considering the hot temperature (we visited in May and the pools at other hotels/resorts we stayed at were very warm). We loved how small the resort was and the gardens were well kept. Despite being close to the road, we didn’t hear much traffic. Overall an amazing stay, and if we ever come back to El Nido we would stay here again.
