El Nido Reef Strand Resort

We arrived in El nido and decided that we would go see the hotel reef strand as thats where we decided we would stay for the last leg of our trip to Palawan , We learned that the reef strand was Actualy .8 from the edge of town and that you had to walk or take scooter or Tricycle up Very bumpy flooded road , Once arrived we were greeted by Hotel staff and was informed that the Deluxe Ocean view room was Actualy given to someone else and that I would be staying in room just next to it rather than the Actualy one with two large windows that define deluxe sea view, The room had leaking water from the roof and they had a towel behind the sink to sop it up , Stairway to the room was one you would see in a sub marine very narrow and steep to say the least , other than that the room wasn't bad , The rooms have no fridge to keep your snacks cold , , After couple days I had to give up my stay Told No refund “ to find a bottom unit closer to town cause that’s why your their in the first place is to enjoy El nido , Hotel just made you ask for everything even simple toilet paper seems to be a big deal , Service and value are found more in the town of el nido , I would recommend El nido beach hotel ,

Very remote loacation and the only way to the resort is to rely on one trike driver to either pick you up from town. Unfortunately the driver and hotel is a bit unrealiable on this front and really need to work on their customer service skills. Overall the hotel was ok, and wasn’t the worse place I stayed. It has a lovely view from the pool, but again if you’re wanting to be close to town this is a good 20min walk In the pitch black away.

This hotel probably had one of the best views out of all the hotels we stayed at. Loved the pool area because you literally could watch the sunset. Food wasn't horrible, but i felt a lot of it was on the greasy side. Location was great except for the fact that you had to get a ride from one of the bigger scooters since it was a little truck to the hotel from the beach. Rooms weren't horrible (meaning they weren't dirty) but the shower head wasn't really working and kept leaking. Overall, this was a nice stay.

We loved this hotel!! The staff were the most helpful and kind we have encountered. We missed our ferry and the owner of the hotel managed to book us into another hotel for that night and organise our ferry for us the following day and offered us their shuttle. They were so so helpful and accommodating! The rooms were very clean and modern with an amazing view of the sea. The breakfast was lovely, they offered both Western and Filipino breakfast. The rest of the staff were always so happy and it was lovely to hear them singing and enjoying themselves whilst at work. The hotel is quite a trek to get to if you walk from the town as at high tide you cannot walk along the beach. However the hotel offer a free shuttle which was great! You can just call them and they will come to collect you from the town or the beach. We really enjoyed ourselves at this hotel and in El Nido. 100% would come back here!

This is a small budget hotel year priced high. The owner is German and he tries very hard to accommodate and gets full marks. My complaint is access, the hotel is located with a number of other such hotels along a bumpy lane and riding in a yuk yuk is uncomfortable in the extreme. The night life is in town but the hotel gets cut off at high tide. None of this is explained on the website fir obvious reasons. So you are captive or you stay out until the tide ebbs but for us with kids, not an option. The weather didn’t help but the hotel has no control over that. This is not negative only honest. Other than location issues the property is great and the owner, Uli, a great guy.

Hotel is overpriced for what it is. The view from the hotel is nice but the location is bad too since you need to take a rickshaw for about 15-20min from the hotel on a terrible road to access anything. Staff is really nice but unefficient.

A little far from town but resort offered free transportation to a common location

This was one of the best part of our trip. All the staff from the hotel was lovely and always willing to help us to book any tour or to have a Tura Tura trycicle to transfer us from the hotel to the city. Our room was incredible and the swimming pool and afternoon were just so amazing! Our recommendation for the hotel would be if maybe for the breakfast you could include a bit of more adds on :) highly recommend this place and the lovely staff we loved our adventure in El Nido! Thank you 😊 we did as well all the tours booked through the hotel and they were amazing!!

The hotel and its vicinity is good and the view from the hotel is amazing!

It was a great stay. We like that there's a swimming pool because you can't really swim on the beach, but we're gone most of our stay anyway to our island tours so it was just fine. The sunset view and the mountain view across the ocean is amazing. The only downside is 10 to 15 minutes walk to the main road.
