Floresita's Beach Resort

The owner suck and is greedy ..wants cash transactions

This was an absolutely stunning place. I was not paying attention to the fact that it is not in El Nido proper, so I didn't get enough time to actually enjoy it, but I do highly recommend staying here if a hideaway cabin literally on the beach and away from civilization is what you are looking for

Location was significantly distant (approximately 3 hours from the city) Service/product quality did not meet expected standards Requesting a refund due to unsatisfactory experience

If you are looking for a quite place to spend few days surrounded by nature in front of the beach and away from the crowds of El Nido, this is your place. I came here manly because of diving with manta rays. This very simple Filipino style hotel is placed in between the only two scuba diving shops in the area. If you look for luxury, don't come here. You only will find simple rooms in front of the beach surrounded by nature with a delicious local run restaurant. The a/c rooms are larger than the fun room I stayed in. But for my backpack standards, the room was good enough for a couple of diving days.

We had a nice Stay at Floresita’s. The resort is on the beachfront of quiet Sibaltan town, about 1 hour from El Nido town. The view is nice and there are benches, hammocks and chairs on the beach. However you have to walk far to swim as the tide is low. The huts were basic and small (only bed and bathroom with no door) but fine for their purpose of only sleeping there at night. This place is perfect for resourceful travellers who want to experience “simple life/camping” experience. Electricity at night, no wifi when we were there and barely any network. It felt good to disconnect! However you might want to plan your next destination before you get there! The staff was friendly and helpful to some extent, especially for scooter rental as well as arranging our transport to and from the resort. The included breakfast was simple but good. We overall had a positive experience and would stay there again.

The staff is absolutely amazing. I literally felt like family being there. They are wonderful. The room was clean and the property was beautiful. If you want a place to relax and get away this is it. At night the waves hitting the beach were peaceful. They have several different options of rooms and have a magnificent view of the beach. I will return. The staff really make this place one of a kind. I literally felt like I was leaving family.

Great secluded place. The staff were great and very helpful =) They have free breakfast, the restaurant is open into the evening. Great place to disconnect and chill. Be aware though that this is in Sibaltan, the east side of El Nido. They have their own tours, but if you want to do the tours in the "main" part of El Nido, the west side, it's a 1 hour van ride.

Nous cherchions le paradis nous l’avons trouvé au Floresita’s. Nous sommes restés 9 nuits et nous avons adoré notre séjour au calme dans notre jolie cabane sur la plage. C’etait simple, exactement ce que nous cherchions. La cuisine était délicieuse et nous avons pu décompresser en profitant de la plage. Pour découvrir les alentours nous avons louer un scooter, c’etait idéal pour se déplacer. Toute l’équipe a été formidable, nous avons passés des moments inoubliables. Nous avons eu du mal à partir et nous espérons pouvoir un jour y revenir. Merci encore pour tout, prenez soin de vous ;) Virginie et Xavier

If you want to experience the simple life and culture of the Philippines then this place definitely offers that experience.

Its a great place to switch off and just focus on relaxing and enjoy your vacation. Their food is really good. The staff are wonderful. Their customer service is excellent. They really know how to take care of their guest.

We had a great stay here! We chose to stay in a tent to save money and were very pleased to find that it was set up right on the beach. The island tour they offer is also a great value compared to those in El Nido. There were only 6 people on our boat and the price includes lunch.

Floresitas is a perfect place if you want to tune out and just read a book or get some rest.Prepare for no internet! Its a very calm place far away from eveything else... A friendly family managing the resort takes care of everything you need, not far from the place at the beach you find more restaurants. We spent 5 days there and could have stayed forever, the "far away from everything" feeling there was exactly what we wanted. Also recommended: the snorkeling tour that takes you to amazing coral reefes

Perfect place if you want to escape the craziness of El Nido town. Very relaxed and quite, with an amazing staff that's always taking care of their guests. Also you can do island hoping from here (Sibaltan village), with beautiful islands to visit and not as crowded as in El Nido.

We had an amazing time at Floresitas. Everyone there was welcoming and went out of there way to help us. The location is beautiful and the food was lovely.

First of all the Internet does not work. At all! Phone signal for both Globe and Smart do not work. That explains why both their listed numbers don't work, including chat service. They charged 1,500 pesos for airport pickup (I guess it's reasonable due to its remote location). The place looks good online, but it's extremely small. The length fits a double sized mattress, with about a foot left. The width is about the same. If you are over 6' tall, you will feel the discomfort and mosquito bites. The mosquito net is not sufficient to keep the mosquitos out - you become the midnight buffet. Electricity is on between 6pm-6am. The Wifi by the eating area has good signal, but what good is it if there's no Internet? The island tour price is 1,500 pesos - not worth it! They take you to places that the corals have been dead. El Nido offers better tours but cheaper ( A tour - 1,200p; B tour - 1,300, C tour - 1,400). There isn't much to do or sightsee. The beach is unswimmable. One good thing about this place is its remote location where you do get peace and quiet. It's just not worth the agony of sleepless nights due to mosquitos. Then, the overprice for services. We thought the little qilted bananas were free for guests. They do charge. Anyway we originally reserved for four nights but could only stay for two. Let it be known I am retired Army infantryman...this was just ridiculous! I will not return or recommend it. Anyway, that was our experience.

Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable stay here. We knew it was an "eco-friendly" hotel going in and would not be as comfortable as a regular vacation hotel. The wifi did not work the entire stay, intermittent generator failures, and there was a few hours of not having any running water for the bathroom. It felt more like a camping experience. We spent most of our time out and about during the day. I highly recommend their day-long island hopping tour. The staff was always friendly and accommodating, they helped plan and set up our daily activities, meals were delicious, and the view from the hillside huts is amazing.

The place was nice and was right on the beach. You only have electricity from 6pm to 6am. The room has a fan but the resort has no wifi. The service was very good but we felt it was a little expensive (1000pesos) for what was offered. They charged for the use of kayaks and paddle boards. Alos, it is an hour out of town.

Good if you want to stay away from civilization and if you want to rent a bike to go around. It is more than an hour ride from town centre to this place. Not recommended if you are looking to meet other travellers.

Beautiful place, quite and very relaxing, all staff are very friendly, my only concern is no hot shower

If you want the hustle and bustle of a 'city,' don't stay here. It's in a great location for relaxation. You can rent a motorbike to see the island (and get to the city). They were friendly, caring, and upfront about what they had and didn't have. Personally, I loved it!
