Aqua Travel Lodge

Don’t stay here

Property location good - convenient. Staff generally friendly and helpful. Room had a nice view but there was no blanket or doona. Did not like the bathroom as it was integrated into toilet area and you had to shower in a toilet basically. Also very noisy with nightclub next door

It was very nice and clean staff very polite

Very dirty bathrooms. Condition of property desperately needs fixing. Staff is good.

Location was central

Horrible. Pictures are outdated. Misleading. Construction from 6 AM until 7 PM.

Very good location, we were able to walk from the ferry to the hotel and it was only like 5 minutes. Also, is facing the beach so you can catch the sunset from the breakfast area. The room was clean, had AC and basically everything you need for a modest stay. Lots of dining / nighttime options no more than 10 minutes walking.

This was a lovely place to stay great location and a great view from the free breakfast area. The staff were great. Il be back

Friendly staffs and the price were pretty affordable. The shower head & hair drier were not working properly. Suggest to replace with the new one.

Lovely staff and amazing location to explore El Nido. The breakfast was good with a nice view. There were a few minor imperfections with the hotel room - squeaky bed, rattling windows and grimy bathroom. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at the Aqua Lodge for a good price and would recommend.

We had a seaview and were able to extend our stay 2 times in the same room. The staff were so helpful in making this possible. We did 1 tour El Nido: Jeepney Adventure tour (booked online); a great way to see the local beaches and waterfall. We also booked 3 tours through Aqua travel lodge Tour A, B, and C. The provided towels and snorkeling gear for free, other folk had to pay to rent their gear. Bring water shoes, an absolute necessity. Note kayaking is not included in the tour price so take some money (300-500 pesos). There is sn extra environmental fee 400 pesos/person that lasts 5 days. So if you book all your tours within this time frame you don't have to pay it each tour.

Great location on the street with all the restaurants and shops. Perfect for a few days in El Nido. Staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to help us.

The front desk and staff are very friendly and helpful but the rooms are quite dirty and old but it is very convenient for only staying for couple of days. 3.5/5

I am deeply disappointed with my stay at this hotel and feel obligated to warn others about the serious issues I encountered, especially regarding security and maintenance. The “sea view” rooms are not part of the main hotel but are located across the street, easily accessible to anyone. This wouldn’t be as alarming if the door locks weren’t so worn and unreliable. We stayed in two sea view rooms, both with major issues: - Ground-floor room: The main door handle was barely attached, feeling like it might fall off at any moment. Additionally, the sliding glass door facing the sea was flimsy and insecure. - First-floor room: This room was accessible via stairs directly from the street, and its main entrance—a sliding glass door—could be opened even when locked. I spent an entire day trapped inside until management replaced the faulty lock. To make matters worse, the bathroom in this room had a missing window, leaving a large open gap. This compromised privacy, allowed mosquitos in, and made showering uncomfortable, as anyone outside could see in. Beyond these safety concerns, the hotel was extremely noisy, but the lack of security and basic maintenance overshadowed everything. I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. It left me feeling unsafe, frustrated, and thoroughly disappointed. There are far better and safer options available.

Wonderfull view

Good hotel but would have been great if I didn't have to climb up 4 floors.

I like how it’s closed to the beach and the staff are very helpful.

Right near the beach great options for dining

Employees were prompt at addressing any issues you have. Front desk was very knowledgeable when asked ?s about the town of El Nido. Boat tours were easy to schedule or any other tours your interested on doing. JM is an asset to the business. Dont forget to give him a high five before checkin out. Salamat good job guys

Perfect location. Fantastic view from balcony/breakfast area, great area to sit and relax at any time. Rooms simple but adequate. Water pressure throughout Philippines was not great.
