EL Nido Hotels with Gym

The facility itself is nice but for the my version of a 5 star rating the resort would need to meet the standard of Peninsula Tokyo or the Park Hyatt in Kyoto. Unfortunately the facility doesn’t not meet that standard. What will make up for the lack of the amenities, cleanliness and attention to detail is the service provider. From the front desk to the waiter and waitress, to the cleaning Male/ladies, the service staff will go above and beyond to meet your needs. Last draw back is the sand flies (nik nik as the locals refer to them) are pesky little suckers….literally which makes one hesitant to enjoy the beautiful beach on the resort…which then leads to you missing the beautiful sunrise and sunset that one would expect in paradise. Over all, yes i would gladly return to this facility. It is probably the best on the island but I cannot on good conscience say the this is a 5star resort.

I have picked resort for its location and for experience to stay at the beach hut. And it was truly amazing time chilling on your veranda’s comfy chair surrounded by palm trees and the sound of crashing waves. As for the overall experience, the resort is definitely not a 5* star resort. Amenities are pretty basic, over-washed beach towels, cheap cutlery, unexciting breakfast, the core infrastructure a bit rundown down, food is average and overpriced. Staff is friendly and ready to attend to every need of yours, but are the some time not there when you need them. Had stayed at lagoon hut #14 and had a constant traffic of passing stuff or guests. So not so much privacy as you would think. Caution. Only lagoon huts facing the beach (first row) get to use the beach sun loungers. The rest of the guests need ti use swimming pool lounges.

The resort is in a great location with a small but quiet beach and a nice house reef outside. Beware that some units require walking up a lot of steps and the ones set away from the beach have a lot of mosquitoes around. The staff are super friendly and nice although the service of the hotel could be more attentive i.e when lying on the beach you don’t get asked if you want drinks. Room cleaning was only done once in our 7 day stay and only because we asked for it. Towels are not automatically offered to beach goers all the time. The restaurant is pretty slow with almost an hour for food to arrive sometimes. The food itself can be nice depending on what you order. Some is pretty good actually…others a bit average. Pricewise, this isn’t a cheap hotel and I feel that if you compare the price to resorts in other tropical beach locations around the world, you get much better service in other places like Sheratons, Marriotts and Hiltons etc. that said, overall I would still recommend Matinloc for the great beach and reef.

It's not a good idea to travel alone. You pay a deposit first, and the necessary expenses are paid from it, so you don't have to pay anything during your stay.Also, you can generally be satisfied with the activities included in the hotel plan, so there is no need to make reservations. You can truly forget about the world. Please note that transportation must be booked up to three days in advance, and activities must be booked up to the day before. It seems that the marine plants and animals on the beach in front of the hotel are being carefully protected and nurtured, and there are signs of regeneration. Even now, there are various plants and animals in that narrow cove, which can be seen from the pier, and is a great place to snorkel or dive. It is very fun. The air conditioning is so comfortable that you almost forget you're in the Philippines. There is also hot water in the bathroom. Above all, the staff are very hardworking and I would like to hear about what kind of employee training they do. The activities are also very interesting. Meals change daily. I think it's delicious for the Philippines. (In general, the food is better in Thai-Vietnamese food. I have the ingredients, so why not?) I wanted to get back the frying pan and make the omelet myself. If I give you the recipe for dessert, will you make it for me? )g The only thing is that the drainage system is weak, and there is an ammonia smell in the shower room. This is a common problem throughout the Philippines, and may be a fundamental problem with the piping system or construction technology.

Thank You to Rester (concierge/reception), Joel (driver), executive Chef (sorry, but we didn’t catch his name), Reven (bartender/service), Jeremy (??) ! You all made our first trip to El Nido/Philippines unforgettable. Your hospitality was unsurpassed and you set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Joel: Joel was our first contact with a Charlie’s employee and he made a”the best first impression. Very polite, respectful, helpful with initial questions. He ended up being our driver throughout our stay & service was always great. Rester: Whatever we needed, be it laundry service, tricycles to town, or ATV reservations , Rester, made it happen. He was always polite and assisted with all our needs. Executive Chef: The food here was top notch. So much so that we rarely ate out unless we were offsite twice). Thank you Chef for making THE most memorable dinner for us. Your love for your craft truly came through the food you prepared & we enjoyed every bite. Reven: Your helpfulness & kindness was appreciated during our stay. Whether it be drinks (your pineapple mint crush was FIRE) or just a passing “hello” as we walked by. Jeremy???: You assisted us from 7/16- 7/18 and we last saw you at our special dinner with Executive Chef. My husband has a terrible memory as he spoke to you frequently & unfortunately I didn’t catch your name. Your service was top notch every single day & we appreciate everything you did for us. Our first stop was Okada in Manila and I have to say that you all made it SO MUCH BETTER than Okada. Charlie’s is lucky to have you to represent them. Keep up the good work and good luck in future endeavors. Massages were also great. All the employees were nice & helpful.

Great Service, But Disappointing Beach Access Pros: • The villa is spacious, and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. • The service is exceptional – definitely five-star quality. • The food is good, though some dishes were a bit too oily for our taste. • Sleep quality was excellent, thanks to the cozy setup and peaceful environment. Cons: • Cleanliness could be improved, especially in the comfort rooms. There was an occasional unpleasant smell from the drain, and we noticed minor stains on some towels. • Water pressure was a bit weak, which made showering less enjoyable. • One major disappointment is the lack of a beach suitable for swimming. There is no direct beachfront, and the resort charges USD 103 to transport guests to another island with a proper beach area. Overall, while the service and comfort are outstanding, the lack of accessible beachfront for swimming and the additional cost to reach a beach make this resort less ideal for those looking for a true beachfront experience.

The first words of the staff is “welcome to paradise” and we can only say it was truly experiencing paradise. From the first second at lounge arrival to the last second of departure there was an amazing, friendly and personalized customer care! The hotel environment , the room, the food, the complementary boat trips all was excellent and gave us an incredible experience to never forget and … to return back to☺️

As a party of Turks, we spent last week at Villa Israel Eco Park. We had a wonderful time. I must express my appreciation to the entire hotel personnel. They are extremely friendly and helpful. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Jeng Jeng for her generosity. She planned a fantastic barbecue by the pool at a reasonable fee. We loved it so much that we demanded it again. One of El Nido's top beaches is accessible from the motel on foot. The village can be reached in 10 minutes by tricycle for only 150 pesos. Although it requires more upkeep, the hotel is very clean. The rooms are spacious. Breakfast might be more opulent. I would recommend the hotel to anyone seeking for a peaceful and welcoming environment.

Ora Beach needs an update, the hotel is large and the rooms large. But all the facilities, gym, aircons, TV are old and outdated. It's on a stretch of beach in a little Cove with a beautiful view , the food is... ok. But it's close to some great restaurants elsewhere. The shower was poor but the toilet worked.
