Hotels near Ginto Island, EL Nido

Floresitas impresses with a quiet location right by the sea. If you want to switch off for a few days and focus on the essentials, this is the right place for you (if there isn't construction going on next door or the generator is running - both of which were completely bearable). In one of the log cabins (without AC) or (in our case) rooms with air conditioning, the most necessary things are available: a comfortable bed and a small bathroom with shower and toilet. Our room was relatively clean, I don't understand why the mirrors in the Philippines never seem to be cleaned. In addition, the water from the tap is rather brownish and is not recommended for washing. Right in front of the room door: white, fine sand that stretches from the sea over the entire complex. Many hammocks and seating areas invite you to linger. The WiFi throughout the property was the best we've had since arriving in the Philippines. The food was also really, really tasty - Gemma goes out of her way to fulfill her guests' wishes. Speaking of guests: here too you have more peace and quiet - we were apparently the only ones in the complex on two out of three nights (over the weekend). But there are a few things you can do: rent a kayak cheaply at the resort and explore the area yourself, go snorkeling, firefly watching from another resort a few 100 meters away, or book a private boat trip through Ursulas Resort (neighboring resort). The hosts also try to help as best they can, but sometimes there was a lack of mutual communication. But in the end, with their help, we were able to be picked up in the van right from our front door. All in all, we felt the price was a bit too high for the simple conditions and the remote location (outside of all the hustle and bustle of tourism). But we still really liked it and would come back at any time.

Absolutely amazing experience. Bathrooms were basic and generally clean but there were a couple of times they could be cleaner. I will 1000% be going back here!

The hotel is located not on the shore itself, but on a hill. There are wonderful views of the sea in one direction and the mountains in the other. Walk to the sea no more than 10 minutes. We lived in a separate house. The hotel involves living in nature: the area is very quiet, only the sounds of birds, frogs, etc. can be heard. The windows are not glazed, but there is a mosquito net over the bed. The floor air conditioner worked, but could barely cope (in April during the hot season). There is not always water in the shower, and ants come. We regard this as the price we pay for living in nature. The staff was friendly and helped us contact the dispatcher and call a public minibus to the hotel in order to get to Puerto Princesa without transfers.

My wife and I stayed her for 3 weeks last year and have already booked it for 6 weeks in February and March of 2024. They are great people to deal with. The Kitchen and gathering spot was made available when we wanted to cook. Although it is an older place the rooms are newly refurbished and all decorated with a different theme. There’s a lot of charm here and you should enjoy your stay. I would have rated it a 5 but the road is a bit of a challenge getting there. It reminds me of a castle that appears out of nowhere and that’s why I like it. It is very quiet and away from the main roads.
