Homestays in Mimaropa, Philippines

El Nido doesn’t provide much in regards to accommodation, everything seems pretty basic, but you should be prepared for that before you come here. Yes you will struggle with wifi, yes you may struggle with water pressure, yes you might see some insects on your room but that isn’t just one place that is ALL places in El Nido. Overall our stay here was good, it was clean, comfortable, fan and air con too. Room cleaned daily and towels refreshed. My only issue was that it was a little bit noisy being on the main road and there’s very little to do in Corong Corong but other than that I would go back

The Bancuang is a sprawling mansion going up a hillside. It is really, really cool. We stayed in one of the (4?) penthouse suites. The room was super romantic; the views from our room were stunning; the restaurant was reasonably priced and the food was delicious; the staff was friendly. The wifi even worked most of the time (~80%). Nothing is perfect in Coron, though. The shower had drainage issues (probably because they don't warn people not to let sand go down the drain -- please rinse sand off at outdoor shower near pool). No room safe (although front desk has a giant safe you can use); no spare roll of TP in the room. Noisy wild roosters start crowing at 5am (but in the other hotel we stayed at, there were 50 church bells, right next door, at 6am -- we vastly prefer the roosters). But the biggest issue for us was SOAP. There was no handsoap by our sink in our room; to wash your hands, you had to physically step into the shower and use the body wash. We asked the front desk and they seemed to think this was fine and good. OK, fine, we can step into the shower, but this got me thinking -- do they wash their hands after using the toilet? So I checked both of the general restrooms in the hotel, and found that **one of them had no soap whatsoever** (and no empty dispenser -- nothing). This means staff are likely using that restroom and returning to work without washing their hands. And worse, this was the closest restroom to the kitchen. This is the sole reason for our 1/5 star ”cleanliness” rating; other than this, the hotel itself was very clean, just not the hands of the staff. But it seems common in Coron to not have soap in bathrooms; it seems that, culturally, it hasn't caught on, and they don't realize that this is very important to (some) tourists.

The hotel as a whole is not bad, the beach restaurants are 5-7 minutes away, but in 7 days the bed linen in the room was never changed, although this was mentioned, there is breakfast, but it is so-so. The flush in my room did not work; there was a bucket and a ladle.

Hotel for a penny is located in a very remote location the cost of coming to the center will be equal to the hotel value plus the cost of returning, deaf. But there is a possibility to rent a bike right at the location of the hotel. I am struck by the presence of 3 pieces fans in a small room

The location is good, it's close enough to the airport that it's walkable or it'll be around 50 pesos in a tricycle (expect to pay a bit more with the white tax). There is a mall nearby Robinson's with a good supermarket. Also some good coffeeshops if you need to work. Be sure to bring cash as even places like McDonald's often have issues with card machines There is a nice beach on the East Coast (photos here) as well as the Church of Immaculate Conception which is nice to see while in town.

The hotel is located right on the shore, there is a parking on the lawn. Good breakfast for the extra charge. The room is small, there are ants, they are everywhere, but I was absolutely unhindered. Very comfortable bed. Water is not hot, very comfortable temperature. I liked everything with my wife.

I had very nice stay in Ashok homestay honestly because of the owner. My stay was in February 2017 during valentine week. The hotel is at the center of the city, accessible to restaurants, clubs and beach. The location of the hotel is just perfect even during late evening. The room is clean, bathroom is clean. The wifi is weaker inside the room but very good at the lobby. I have no complaints during my stay. The owner of the property is kind, humble, approachable, helpful and smiling face nice guy. He is always ready to help in suggesting restaurants, beach, shopping areas. He even offered us to cook breakfast (bread omelette) in his kitchen which was a kind gesture often not found. He was flexible with checkin-checkout time. I would highly recommend Ashok homestay for the best beachy exploration and a cost effective vacation.

Great place, all very clean and close of everything. Also they offer breakfast, very delicious.

Pension can easily be located since it is just along the road; a 5-minute drive to Cathedral and 7-10 minutes from Pasalubong Center to Orange P and it’s only 100php for 1 tricycle. They had a hard time finding my reservation since Traveloka is a subsidiary of Expedia. We had the Standard room with BF and we were informed that their standard is a bunk bed, but they offered the queen bed with shared bathroom (just beside our room). It was clean and sweet-scented room. What I love about was their big mirror at the lobby. Wi-Fi is slow as expected. Plated breakfast as shown in the picture. They have soap and tissue but no shampoo, so better bring one. Staff were friendly. This pension is highly recommended for those who want to stay on a budget yet classy place and near to airport, pasalubong center, cathedral and bajao.

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.

I really enjoyed staying at Coco Garden! But you must understand that these are bamboo houses, essentially huts, inside of which there is a bed under a mosquito net. The houses are basically in the jungle, so geckos, ants, etc. can run in. But behind the mosquito net you won’t be afraid of them! But unity with nature is 100%! The house has a shower and toilet. Fan. Every morning a simple and delicious breakfast. WiFi worked flawlessly. And the employee Lamy was so friendly that she smoothed out all the shortcomings! It is best to immediately rent a scooter, because the nearest beach and the town of El Nido are a bit far away on foot. The stay turned out to be very authentic! I'm happy!

if you want to experience the province life in palawan, clear sky fresh air mountain views and sea view, in the evening stars shine so bright , i think this is the place to visit .. an hour and a half drive from elnido , we ride motorcycle from sibaltan to nacpan beach .. amazing place !

I am very grateful to their staff here, they are very kind and diligent and they are very attentive to us and their other guests. even early in the morning if you need something, they will give it to you right away, and especially on the birthday of one of our friends, they even made an effort to design a happy birthday on the wall, they even printed a picture. I will come back to this hotel when I come back to El Nido Palawan. thank you very much especially to Sir Jhay and Mam Chubby hehe I forgot his name. thank you so much!!! ❤️ Highly recommended!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯✨

The Ac is extremely noisy, same with the fan. Really needs to be serviced or replaced. The broken towel hanger in the bathroom also very annoying. The front desk was extremely professional and helpful. Was a good stay.

What a great little find, tucked away from the noise of the traffic of Puerto Princesa but still close to the main road, we found The Golden Pension, what we loved about it was: - Clean room - Clean sheets and towels - Hot water - Quiet - Secured compound - Friendly owners - Good TV - Fantastic air conditioner And most of all, value for money and the owner dropped us of at the Airport which is only a 10 drive away . Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful Pension.

Between the main bus station and the airport in a quiet area, and only a 100 peso ride from the airport. A 20 minute walk from a large shopping mall. The whole place is very clean and nice, with comfortable sun beds by a large clean swimming pool. Room is comfortable and clean, with good aircon and linens. Shower pretty powerful. Excellent WiFi. Outside areas with small Gym, bar and food area. This place doesn't accept credit cards, wants a 2000 peso cash deposit and you can't check into your room a minute before the 2pm deadline. Also no check out flexibility, or use of the pool after check out which they will charge for. Room fridge full of expensive drinks, but there is a shop a 2 minute walk away where you can buy soft drinks and use the room fridge to keep them cool. Breakfast is adequate and basic, but good value in terms of the overall price.  Overall very good value and i would highly recommend.

Eat een fenomenale plek. Ben na verschillende trips drie keren specifiek hier teruggekomen. Het is er zo mooi en vredig. Superaardig en behulpzame medewerkers. Heerlijk ontbijt.
