SANSE Boutique Hotel

Sanse was a nice small hotel, in a great location close to the beach. Also close to great food outlets, our favorite restaurant was Big Brd Thai.

Hot water seemed to be absent, but the shower was ok.

Lovely spacious room and location was perfect in the heart of el nido. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with anything we needed and even helped us sort out getting our laundry done.

It didn’t always feel 100% clean but it is more like the outdoor indoor feel. The noise from the outside clubs was the only downfall of the property, it was extremely loud and did go on until 4:30/5am each night, but this is not the property’s fault.

Excellent staff!

The reception manager was super helpful and attentive - she looked after us and ensured we're happy despite us having a few complaints. The location is great - we were always within 5mins of most attractions. The bed was really comfortable and the main room felt clean.

Our room was a king room with a bathtub which is one of their more premium rooms. We didn't realise that the bathroom set up including the shower, bathtub and toilet was actually outside. This meant that it never really felt clean and it was a bit uncomfortable always having to get outside to use the toilet. The appliances outside (the bathtub shower and the shower) also weren't working particularly well - they were rusty from the humidity, the pressure wasn't great and the drain wasn't working so we ended up having a big puddle in what was the middle of our bathroom. The second big issue was the breakfast was not great. The pictures look good, and the intention is good - they don't have an actual restaurant so they bring it to your room, in the morning - but, the breakfast is not nice. We also had an issue one morning - after ordering "no nuts" every single day and mentioning it repeatedly, we ended up being given a granola bowl (on our last day) which had chopped cashews through it. This could have been really bad, as my partner is allergic to all nuts - but luckily he saw the chopped cashew and didn't eat it.
