New Hotels in EL Nido

"I stayed at Z Garden Hotel between 28th Nov and 1st Dec. My stay was absolutely amazing. I arrived on an early morning flight, and despite check in being from 3pm, Remy re assured me that they will do their best to accommodate me within a short time. I left my luggage with reception and went to have some breakfast. By the time I returned my room was prepared and I was blown away at the hospitality of the staff as Remy realised upon check in that it was my birthday a few days before and the staff prepared my room with balloons and decor which left me speechless. The staff at the hotel really epitomise the hospitality and kindness of the people of Philippines. Every day my room would be left spotless and as a solo traveller it had everything I could have needed. Modern, stylish room and the bed was so comfortable. I generally struggle to sleep in Hotels but the bed was really comfortable and a warm space to relax. I was greeted by every staff member that passed by from the reception team, to housekeeping to the security guard at night. Any advice I needed or transport arranged, Remy took absolute care of everything as though I was her own guest and it really leaves a beautiful memory of my travels. It is in a brilliant location, in a quiet relaxing space just a short distance away from the lively scene of El Nido. I hope to return to El Nido in future with my family and without hesitation I will choose to stay at Z Garden Hotel again. Thank you Remy and the entire team for making it a memorable experience and I hope to see you all very soon!"

"Отель находится в 15 минутах от центра, поэтому не слышно никакой уличной шумихи и довольно спокойно. Жили в отеле два дня, в один из дней было слышно ремонт с самого утра. Есть горячая вода с хорошим напором, но к сожалению с железным запахом. В номере чисто но мало места. Персонал максимально дружелюбный, во всём подскажут помогут. Когда мы выселялись, нам помогли с бесплатным трансфером до центра к месту отправления трансфера на порт Бартон. Завтрак не очень понравился, по запросу предоставляли кипятильник чтобы выпить чаю:)"

"Pros: Our stay at Piece Lio was decent overall. The aesthetics matched the pictures online, and the studio was spacious with a lovely balcony view overlooking the rainforest. I really appreciated the Dyson hairdryer in the room, which made things much easier with long hair. The staff were friendly, polite, and kind, thank you guys! Cons: There were some small issues in the room, such as paint patches peeling off and small holes near the window shutters, which need attention, especially for a fairly new hotel. The biggest disappointment was discovering that there is no gym or spa, even though both are listed in the hotel’s description. This may not be a big deal for everyone, but it was for us since we had planned our trip around maintaining our fitness and relaxation routine. Instead, guests are given access to facilities within the same hospitality group. The gym and spa are located offsite, about 15 minutes away in town. While the hotel provides free shuttle service to and from that location, the drive feels much longer than expected due to island roads. The gym is small with basic equipment, and the spa, called Rituals Health and Spa, felt old and in need of renovation. Breakfast was average and not really to our liking. It was also inconvenient because most restaurants at Lio Beach do not open until around 10 a.m., leaving limited early morning options. We ended up eating at another nearby hotel restaurant, Molave, which was the only one open at that time. One of the staff members incorrectly told us there were other options available earlier, which suggests a need for better training and communication. Another issue was with a pre-booked van ride to one of the beaches. We had confirmed it via WhatsApp, but when we went downstairs, the staff had no record of it. To their credit, they handled the situation professionally and offered us a free one-way ride to make up for the inconvenience. Overall: The staff were warm and helpful, but management needs to improve communication, training, and most importantly, the accuracy of the facilities listed online. It feels misleading to advertise a gym and spa that are not actually part of the hotel. The lack of an in-house restaurant was also inconvenient, especially when you want a quick meal without leaving the property. If the hotel eventually adds its own spa and gym, it would be a much better experience. We did recommend it to friends for a short stay before their flight, but I would not suggest booking it if your priority is having fitness and spa facilities in one place. Overall, would return it they added the facilities! P.S. there’s cats! I’m not a cats person so it was a little uncomfortable to have them downstairs in the lobby area ."

"Was really lovely, close to the beach. New amenities"

"Very nice facility and hotel"

"Very pleasant hotel and careful administrator! Find the hotel problematic, is located in NO tourist location. And this is his obvious plus and the sense of privacy and viponess. There is almost no soul around. The restaurant is acceptable. Hotel is not bad on 2-3 day of stay! Рекомендую!"

"My stay was fair overall. I called ahead to ask about airport transfers and was told they were not included, but when I arrived I found out the hotel actually offers free transfers, which was confusing. I also asked if they could drop us off at another hotel on our last day and the front desk agreed, but when it was time for the transfer we were asked to pay 100 for gas, which was unexpected. The place was also a bit loud during the day due to nearby construction. Overall, the stay was okay, but clearer communication would have made the experience better."

"What a find, if you are ever going to El Nido I would 100% recommend booking this gem. It’s out of town so you get to leave the craziness behind and relax in your haven. It’s only 2kms from Lio beach a must to visit far more relaxed than El Nido. El Nido town is only 5km away. It has its own pool which is outside but inside the house, you have to see it to believe it. Honestly if this is available when you are looking at dates do not miss out hit that book now button. I didn’t want to leave."
