El Nido Reef Strand Resort

We loved the fact that they provided Netflix! So much more useful than the cable channels provided by most hotels. We loved the view from our bed!!! We had a view of the sunset and the beach and the sea. It was spectacular. We loved that the music wasn’t obnoxious. We didn’t want a party atmosphere. We loved the pool having saltwater instead of chlorine but it had alot of dead bees in it which sort of freaked me out. The staff worry about cleaning the fallen petals on the street outside the hotel (which doesn’t bother anyone) while not cleaning the pool. I don’t understand that logic. I loved the bed. It felt like firm latex. It was very comfortable. I didn’t feel my husband moving next to me which is amazing. The curtains are not blackout curtains though so the light from the pool and common area did disturb us. I put a shirt over my eyes so I could sleep.

This place probably has the best view in town. The staff was amazing, and Yuli, the owner, was right there alongside them making sure my stay was unforgettable. If you’re renting a car, I’d suggest parking near the Reggae Island Bar, which is about a beautiful 20-minute walk to the hotel with incredible views and plenty of spots along the way to grab water, beer, or snacks. You can also take a tuk tuk, which is super cheap and only about 5 minutes to the hotel. Highly recommend this place!

We completely enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The location is perfect for a quiet get away

Run down room, moldy smell everytime you enter the room. Thou we liked the staff especially Jima, she is really nice and helpful. The road going to this resort is really rough, narrow and not paved. The town itself Definitely need a lot of improve with their rough unpaved roads.
