卡蘭海灘別墅海燕飯店

The only real positive of this place is its beachfront location. When we arrived at the town square, the host arranged a tuk-tuk for us, but we were told to pay for it ourselves. We later learned many nearby accommodations provide complimentary transfers for check-in and check-out. We booked a four-night stay. First night: Acceptable, but the room had an old, very noisy air conditioner with no remote, and the shower pressure was extremely weak. Second night: The electricity went out. All surrounding properties switched to generators and had power. This one did not. Staff tried until midnight to start their generator but failed. We had no air conditioning, no fan, no lights, no hot water, and no way to charge our phones. The room was hot, dark, and full of mosquitoes. We assumed it would be fixed the next day. Third night: Still no electricity. I messaged the host, but we were expected to stay in the same conditions. Fourth night: After escalating the issue, we were moved to Reef Strand Hotel two minutes away. I wish we had booked there from the start. Spending three of four nights without electricity is unacceptable. The property seemed unprepared for outages and expected guests to tolerate substandard conditions. I would not recommend staying here.

Staff- good communication, courteous, always available and offered good values to island hoping packages and motorbike rental. Location- beach front. There is no front entrance to the main property which is a negative. You have to go through an alley to the side of the property leading to the beach and ti the back entrance of the apartment. However, you have to be back from downtown before 7 or 8 pm to avoid the high tide. Another draw back is no tricycle driver would like to take you back to the property during high tides. That means you have to walk about 15 minutes from townsquare, which is not bad. Although the studio apartment has a kitchen, the property is so close to other big resorts with restaurants and bars! Nice beach walk to at least three within 1 to 5 minutes! You can swim on the beach during high tides, but we prefer to use the pools in the nearby resorts for a very small fee. Price- very good value, especially if you prefer to cook your own meals and brew your coffee. But honestly, the food prices at the nearby restaurants are so reasonable, why bother cook?

Eigentlich könnte die Anlage wirklich schön sein, wenn sie zum einen besser gepflegt wäre und zum anderen sauberer wäre. Die Dusche fiel immer wieder aus, da kein bis wenig Wasserdruck vorhanden war. Das WiFi funktionierte die ersten beiden Tage auch nicht, danach gab es zwar WiFi, aber dieses war auch sehr unzuverlässig und schlecht. Unser Zimmer inklusive Badezimmer war leider auch nicht besonders sauber. Über all diese Dinge könnte man hinwegsehen wenn die Unterkunft im Verhältnis nicht so teuer wäre. Die Lage an sich war schön, man hatte eine wunderschöne Sicht auf das Meer, welche direkt vor der Unterkunft war. Allerdings war auch der Strand direkt vor dem Grundstück ziemlich dreckig. Preis/Leistung eine absolute Katastrophe.

Old dated, internet didnt work, we booked late and werent expected, the couple of workers were pleasent...

We loved the location of the property and the view is amazing. Our room was really spacious and very comfortable. It could do with a little updating, but it didn't spoil our stay at all.

Excellent service. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The property had stunning views of the sea. Highly recommended 👌

Le personnel été au top !! Super accueillant

Beach front. Homey ambiance.

Excellent séjour, le lieu est magique, une vue sur la baie, des couches de soleil à couper le souffle et le sourire deMary Anne, elle a été aux petits soins...

In general El Nido is a quite crowded place, with ugly beaches and many people trying to sell you things. If you want to stay away from this mess, this hotel is a good option. It might take you a while to walk to it from downtown (around 20 min), but I think it is worthy. The room was spacious for the price we paid, and you will pay much more if you want to have the same in central El Nido. The hotel host was quite nice and helped us booking a bus ticket and finding a tricycle to take us to the bus station (100 PHP). It is not the hotel's fault, but if I could choose again I would not waste my time in El Nido. I'd spend more time in Port Barton (for relaxing and beautiful beaches) and Coron (for beautiful landscapes). There are so many people in El Nido's boat tours that it is impossible to see anything (you will get to the so called "secret beach" and find 300 people there). In general, the hotel made us feel better in a super disappointing place.

It’s like home away from home..very nice place with very nice staff. Would likely go back here.

Place is too far from the city proper and the ride with the provided 3 wheel transportation is terrible. Roads are too narrow and the only nice feature is the view of the sea but the beach area in itself is inaccessible. There are no food facilities available and not all appliances were working plus there were ants in the rooms.

Det var väldigt lyhört.prominad på ca 15 min från stan var ok men när det var strömavbrott så var det väldigt mörkt överallt. Toalett funkade inte som det ska, efter att man spolade fylldes inte vatten, så man var tvungen att göra det manuellt.

エルニドは昼間電気が使えないところが多いとは聞いていたがこのホテルは他のホテルと比べても使えない時間が長過ぎる。ホットシャワー、エアコンがついていても電気が不通だとなんの意味もない二泊しましたが初日は深夜になってやっと短時間使えましたがその頃にはシャワー浴びる気もおきず結局入らずじまい。又、街中から遠くトライシクルを降ろされてホテルまで10分くらい悪路を歩かされるし周りにもこれといってお店やレストランも無いので結果何かしようと思うとまた悪路を歩いて街中へ。面倒なのでホテルでゴロゴロするにも電気なし。部屋は広々として清潔感はありましたがやはり我慢出来ず街中のホテルへ移動しました。一泊1500円の所でしたが地獄から天国へ引っ越した気分でした。二度と泊まらない。

calme et repos

The room is at 10 minutes walking distance from El Nido Center and is big and has a nice terrace. It' s quit and next to the sea. The housekeeper is very friendly. The villa needs a construction though.

Before anything, I would like to say that the Mary Ann, the inn keeper, was very helpful and accommodating. Knowing that the location is very shady, she offers to buy water and drinks for us during our stay. Even helped us book a van. Now to the hotel review. The beach villa is a nice place to stay in if you want to get away from people and the main city center. It takes 10 minutes by trike to get there from the city center, and you'd have to pass through very small alleys and tight roads to get there. Beside the villa is an empty lot where they repair boats. If you're looking for a beach front, this isnt it either since there isnt much of a beach to speak of during high tide, and even during low tide, the beach is filled with big rocks so that doesnt make it any better. The rooms are very traditional with their walls and roofing with a really cold airconditioner. Comes fully equipped with a kitchen and fridge. Basically, if you just plan on staying in and cooking all your meals yourself, this place is perfect. However, if you just want a nice place to stay in and then explore the city streets and meet people, this wont work for you. They do have free hotel transfers from the beach villa to the city, but it takes 10 minutes for the trike to get there.

Hyggeligt, intimt lille hotel, med store værelser og fantastisk udsigt. Venligt personale der glædeligt hjælper med daglige udflugter og transport. Vejen til og fra et mere by/turist/resturent område var meget bøvlet og ubekvem.

Had a lovely stay here. Great if you want a quiet, relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of el nido. Was in a very local area which we loved.

the hotel is nice and the staff is very friendly, however, the road to access it is very narrow so it's better to contact the hotel a little bit in advance to arrange a pick up in town
