The Funny Lion El Nido

The Funny Lion El Nido

10/10 Excellent
"​A nice place, the rooms are clean, and the staff is helpful, providing great information and service. The rooms are a bit small and slightly dark. ​The breakfast is a bit sparse, but the service was good. Please note that ordering a cappuccino incurs an extra charge."

Mansion Buenavista

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Mansion Buenavista was wonderful. Noud, the owner, and the entire staff were exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were taken care of. Our room was cleaned every day, and everything was always spotless. The food was delicious, with every meal prepared fresh and full of flavor. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers breathtaking views. What made our stay truly special was the warm, personalized hospitality—we felt more like welcomed guests than customers. Honestly, this was even better than staying at a hotel because of the personal attention, comfort, and home-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay with outstanding service, great food, and genuine hospitality, I highly recommend Mansion Buenavista. We would definitely stay here again."

H Hotel El Nido - Vegan Friendly Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was conveniently located two blocks from the beach with a roof-top bar that overlooks the bay. The staff was over-the-top accommodating, food was great and 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. TV was modern with streaming, internet was reliable. The room was comfortable and clean. Downsides, coffee maker in the room didn't work (but in all fairness we forgot to mention it), bed wasn't super comfortable, rooftop bar wifi disconnects you hourly, and parking was scarce but they valet for you if necessary. Highly recommend and we'll be back."

"One of the best getaways ! And this property and staff made it happen. Gorgeous views and such a perfect location that every minute of the day came with its own new look. People at the property and in general all Phillipino people are so warm and welcoming . Norvin , Dorito, Mee choo at reception were great but every one ( and there were lots of staff ) is were great. Only feedback is they should not charge for tea bags especially when stay is long and in room amenities don’t have enough bags to last the trip . Otherwise perfect !!"
