Lihim Resorts

Bella struttura, personale molto gentile e cibo ottimo.

Visited Lihim in Dec 2024 with my partner. We stayed in one of the premium villas towards the top of the resort The good: Incredible views across the bay and over into El Nido Huge room, very comfortable bed, interior cleaned to a high standard Lovely spa treatments Staff were pleasant & friendly The not so good: Location - While the views are good, the location to get anywhere else outside of the hotel is poor. The boat only operates during daylight hours and outside of this it is a minimum 15 minute car ride to get anywhere else mostly due to the long, steep, potholed driveway which was not a luxury experience. Upkeep of exterior & grounds - While our room's interior was nice, the outdoor bathroom was tired, tatty and looked in need of some TLC with broken bamboo and exposed wiring . Our pool area had broken timbers and exposed nails and the pool glass was grubby (see pictures) In the grounds, the vegetation was overgrown and overhanging with lots of debris on the floors and broken railings. Whilst I appreciate it is a tropical forest environment we saw much better examples on our trip that managed to maintain the environment in a sympathetic way and look much less unkempt. There were also random apparatus discarded around the grounds, for example gardening tools along the pathways and an abandoned SUV up on blocks just outside the steps to Henris... The funiculaire was not operational and seems to have been broken for a long time judging by other reviews. In a resort of this calibre things like this should be fixed quickly. Tours- The team really push the tours, and the concept of the Lihim 'journey', which is a future vision where guests visit different sites over the course of their stay. This is undoubtedly a cool idea. However when we went on one of the tours we were really disappointed. Hyag 'Beach Club' is not a beach club, it is a building site. We were dropped by boat at a dirty beach for 3 hours with a cool box containing 1 bottle of water each. We were offered none of the promised equipment, snorkels, kayaks etc - there was just one broken paddle board and a constant sound of construction machinery and workers shouting at each other. There was no shower and the toilet had no running water or soap in the sink, and no light so you could not shut the door. We went to the bay with the other beach lounge on a subsequent tour through our next hotel and again it was a building site. The photos we were shown before attending were in no way accurate of either Beach excursion. It feels like Lihim is getting way ahead of itself and should focus on its core offering before branching out, and tours should certainly not be taking place to areas of construction. We did complain about this at the time and were credited a round of drinks. Service - While the staff were numerous and all friendly, it felt like additional training would be of benefit for a luxury resort. For example the staff at Henri's were constantly messing around behind t

Calm and chill while surrounded by tropical paradise. The resort is a hidden gem with only few well placed villas, 2 restaurants and many-many places to visit. If you’re looking for a busy beach resort with mediocre service, don’t go to Lihim. This place makes you feel at home, the staff is extremely chill, helpful and welcoming. Shout out there to our butlers (Neil, Athena and Jude) who made our stay from memorable to unforgettable. Restaurants are also cozy and nice, if you prefer more casual and elegant then Fredi’s will meet your expectations and if you prefer he chill beach vibe then the poolside restaurant Gana is the place. Food is good portions are huge! Also kudos to Richard (the handsome) and all the people in the restaurant to make us fat Finally the activities, they are a must to have those hidden beaches and lagoons was a lifetime memory for us. Never see so beautiful beach in my life. All in all absolutely recommended!

Excellent service and exceptional people! The resort is beautiful and a hidden gem! Thank you Angelo and Eunice and team for our wonderful time and your services. You made the trip even more memorable with everything you did for us and caring for us like your own. Salamat!

We stayed for 4 days. Great reception upon arrival at the airport and at the resort. You are awarded a “Lihiam Butler” immediately that is always available to you. Just with a reach of a WhatsApp message you get what you need. The service is absolutely one of the best on all resorts that we have been. From the drivers, the cleaners, the restaurant staff, the butlers, everyone is amazing. Very good breakfast and we had lunch and dinner in the two restaurants of the resort. Don’t forget to see the sunset at Henri’s . We also had lunch at J83m a restaurant from the resort in the Valilla Beach.

A Dream Honeymoon at Lihim Resort Our honeymoon at Lihim Resort was nothing short of perfect. The secluded location and stunning natural beauty provided the perfect backdrop for our romantic getaway. Our butlers, Jake and Hannah, went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. They arranged a private dinner on the observation deck, complete with candlelight and a delicious 5 course meal. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel truly pampered. They were always only a WhatsApp message away and we're quick to respond. The villas were luxurious and private, offering the perfect escape from the outside world. The food at Gana was exquisite, and the cocktails and views at Henri's were divine. Lihim Resort is a hidden gem in El Nido. We highly recommend it for couples seeking a romantic and unforgettable getaway. Looking forward to returning with our family in the future!
