This place probably has the best view in town. The staff was amazing, and Yuli, the owner, was right there alongside them making sure my stay was unforgettable.
If you’re renting a car, I’d suggest parking near the Reggae Island Bar, which is about a beautiful 20-minute walk to the hotel with incredible views and plenty of spots along the way to grab water, beer, or snacks. You can also take a tuk tuk, which is super cheap and only about 5 minutes to the hotel.
Highly recommend this place!

I had an amazing stay at the El Nido Reef Strand Resort — truly a 10/10 experience.
The view alone is breathtaking. Waking up and enjoying meals while overlooking the beach and nearby islands was unforgettable. The property feels very private and peaceful, which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Getting there can be a bit of a challenge since the road is quite bumpy, but once you arrive, it’s absolutely worth it. The hotel also makes things easy by offering a convenient shuttle service to town and the airport.
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The German owner may seem a bit reserved at first, but once you start a conversation, he’s genuinely warm and accommodating.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway with stunning views, this place is a gem.

So disappointed in this hotel. Did so much research to find the best location and accommodations and nothing was as it appeared. All the photos on the various sites were from some years ago. The rooms were poorly maintained. There wasn’t even access to the water from the hotel. The staff was amazing and that’s the only reason I am even giving stars. I’d never stay there again.

We loved the fact that they provided Netflix! So much more useful than the cable channels provided by most hotels.
We loved the view from our bed!!!
We had a view of the sunset and the beach and the sea. It was spectacular.
We loved that the music wasn’t obnoxious. We didn’t want a party atmosphere.
We loved the pool having saltwater instead of chlorine but it had alot of dead bees in it which sort of freaked me out. The staff worry about cleaning the fallen petals on the street outside the hotel (which doesn’t bother anyone) while not cleaning the pool. I don’t understand that logic.
I loved the bed. It felt like firm latex. It was very comfortable. I didn’t feel my husband moving next to me which is amazing.
The curtains are not blackout curtains though so the light from the pool and common area did disturb us. I put a shirt over my eyes so I could sleep.

The room been a little smelly, shower pressure was bad and need replacement same as door for the room because i had hard time to close it from the inside. Lots of dead insects swimming in the pool and nobody to clean it, also the water was salty so probably pumped from the sea, so we didn't really used it. The view was Great the area peaceful, staff tried best but a lot need to be done to make the resort up to standards.

Run down room, moldy smell everytime you enter the room. Thou we liked the staff especially Jima, she is really nice and helpful. The road going to this resort is really rough, narrow and not paved. The town itself Definitely need a lot of improve with their rough unpaved roads.

The good and the bad:
Good: The staff are the best feature of this property. They're really fantastic people who are helpful, friendly and kind. Someone is always available to assist whether it's 9am or 3am. The food is fantastic - we have stayed at multiple resorts in Philippines over a three week period and the breakfast we had at Reef Strand was better than all of them. The view was incredible. The resort always has a tricycle available to take you to the town square when needed, which is helpful because it's about a 15-20min walk.
Bad: The resort does need extensive upgrades and maintenance. My room (201) smells like sewage. I mentioned this to the

I'll be very honest:
Positive things:
- An excellent staff of workers, very efficient, friendly, and understanding.
- You'll be steps from the beach and see wonderful sunsets.
- Good mattress and pillows for sleeping.
- Smart TV in the room.
- Free shuttle from the hotel to town from 8 am to 5 pm.
Negative things:
- I booked the stay through the Wofit app, and the photos are nothing like the place.
- The pool was dirty throughout my entire stay.
- In room 103, where I stayed, the bathroom smelled awful, and that smell permeated the room... it was a very unpleasant smell that became very uncomfortable to breathe.
- The hotel has a lot of potential, but it lacks maintenance and investment in some improvements. The staff truly do wonders with the limited resources they have.
- The breakfast buffet was the most meager I've ever seen.
One of the biggest drawbacks is that the owner, an older gentleman, is extremely aggressive and rude. I saw him yelling at other guests (he was right), but that's no way to treat any guest. He rudely interrupts any conversation you're having with the staff, shouting back and forth, as if you were in a rural area.
They rent beach towels for $80 a day.
Consider all these pros and cons before booking a stay at this place.

This was my second stay at the Reef Strand. Last year I was there before the remodel. The place has a great new look and I'd call it a gem. Owner and most of the staff go out of their way to make things run smoothly. If your looking for a loud party haven it's not there. At the Reef you'll find peace and relaxation. However, if you want to stay up all night and drink till the sun comes up the staff will be gladly tuk tuk you to where the nights run into the day. Rates are reasonable considering pricing in the other 3 and 3 1/2 star hotels and all the meals I've eating there were very good. So if your going to EL NIdo it's well worth checking in, you'll prob be back for a second or third time like me.

We had the most wonderful stay here, thanks to Ate Rhose, Oli, and the entire team. Despite our very late arrival (past midnight after a 5-hour van transfer from Puerto Princesa), they were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived.
Almost all the rooms are seafront, so we woke up to incredible views of the bay and the opposite islets every morning. The service was also top-notch; they offered free shuttles to the town square and organized several activities for us. The team was always available and went above and beyond. I would definitely stay here again!
