El Nido Garden Resort

We had such a lovely time at this resort. It is super, super close to the town and is literally next to AP Kala restaurant which is next to Townsquare. The food was nice at breakfast which the regular Filipino breakfast. The pool was nice and very clean although it’s only 4ft deep. It’s the nicer hotel close to ElNido town.

Great location and great views! Very calm in the midst of all the buzz and noise in El Nido town.

Good location close to El Nido town Swimming nice and large but very few chairs available to sit on and no bar service at the pool Rooms are large, clean and comfortable

The hotel is located behind the Town Square and in front of the beach. You can walk to the Canopy Walk tourist spot to see the beautiful Island from the top hop on a tricycle or rent a motorbike outside the resort to explore the island. There was a good selection for breakfast and it was slightly different every day. We had a deluxe room with a terrace and pool access. ( see my photos below) The staff was welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.

Great Hotel with a Few Downsides The hotel is in an excellent location, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was right by the pool and clearly had been recently renovated, which was a big plus. Overall, it’s a good hotel that I would happily return to. That said, there were a few issues. There was ongoing construction work in the nearby villas that we weren’t informed about, and the noise was constant—both in the rooms and by the pool. On top of that, the staff played loud music during the day, which unfortunately took away from the relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast also needs improvement – it was very basic and not on par with the hotel’s standards or price point. רוצה שאכין גם גרסה קצרה יותר או רשמית יותר?

I ordered a taxi from the airport a day before coming to stay at the hotel and they replied that they take such requests a week in advance. I did not understand if they could order it or not, but hotel later confirmed that they did. On the day of my flight to El Nido, there was a delay and I sent an email to the hotel. They did not reply and there was no taxi waiting for me. It would have been fair to know that taxi would be cancelled, then I would have hurried to take one of the very few tricycles that were available at the airport. Since I was looking for my taxi, all tricycles got occupied and I had to wait 20 min if not more until the next batch of tricycles arrived ( thanks to airport security who were very helpful to me and another couple). Upon arrival at the hotel, no word was mentioned about taxi's cancellation. Room was ok but not particularly clean (bathroom floor had some dust), couch was visibly dirty. Breakfast was fine. Check out smooth and quick.
