Everything was perfect at Desert Rose, staff, food and accommodations.

The staff were exceptionally welcoming and approachable, always ready to provide everything we needed throughout our stay.
Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, offering both Western and Filipino dishes that were genuinely delicious!
They also offered us discounts on island-hopping tours and their motorcycle rentals, which made exploring El Nido even more enjoyable.
Above all, the service stood out. Everyone, including the owner, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of exceptional.
One minor inconvenience we encountered was with the bathroom door lock. It just locked itself every time we close it. On one occasion, we even had to call a staff member to unlock it for us so we could use the toilet. But overall, this wasn't a dealbreaker and did not affect our time with Desert Rose.

Good location, a short walk from Corong Corong with excellent views across the bay. The property was free from exterior noise and had decent WiFi.
- The bathroom was incredibly odd with the shower and toilet being in a separate cubicle to the rest of the bathroom. This was further compounded by the shower gel and shampoo being outside of said cubicle. The biggest issue was that the whole toilet/shower floor was constantly wet, as was the toilet seat.
- The breakfast, which for some reason you had to decide what and when to eat the day before, was incredibly poor quality and pretty much inedible. The coffee was the worst I have ever had in my life.
- Ancient air con (that was for some reason framed amongst a little curtain) was loud.
- In general a strange atmosphere and vibe in the hotel - quite hard to describe without experiencing it, but maybe the dated interior and odd layout.
- Overall, the place is very dated and in need of a full refresh.
