1. Frangipani El Nido
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 42 reviews
A beachfront boutique hotel amidst the backdrop of El Nido's famous Karst Limestones. Each suite offers hotel comforts and spacious living spaces that face the beach, with sunset views of the islands of El Nido. Perfect for couples, and friends. A dip in our garden pool, a drink at our lounge, a moment of pause.
They disappeared ... no refund for covid-19
Reviewed By eryx89I booked a 10 day stay at the Frangipiani. Reservation made in September 2019. The stay was scheduled for March 2020. Due to the covid-19 the trip was canceled and Frangipiani had assured me that I would get a refund. To date, more than 2 years have passed and I have not received anything, they have stopped responding to my emails and messages. They disappeared. Other smaller and cheaper hotels refunded me immediately when the pandemic broke out. The frangipiani, on the other hand, has disappeared. Angel and Paco (I don't know if they work there anymore) wrote to me in 2021 that I would receive the refund within 30 days, but obviously it wasn't like that. I don't know if I should call a lawyer or keep writing to the hotel in hopes of their response. The problem is that in 2019 to make the reservation they asked me to pay the full amount, or more than € 2,000 so that's a lot of money.

Basic but all you need
Reviewed By dcawdzEl 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

Nice hotel
Reviewed By SezPhezBlue Mango is a nice hotel which feels very down to earth. Very nice and accommodating staff, the food at the restaurant was great. There are always tricycles available outside the hotel for transportation. Be warned the WiFi is poor/non existent, the power was off a lot which meant no AC. Cash only.

Beautiful beachfront beach house
Reviewed By no_juan_is_an_islandDuring my San Vic trip, I also stayed at VICTORIA’S BEACH HOUSE -- a cheaper option to Lazuli's. This is a very homey beach house that is literally by the sea. Also located at Brgy. Alimanguan, Victoria seems to be a common choice for travellers’ who are in for a longer stay. It has its own bar-resto that serves affordable and sumptuous meals. (Heads up though, if you are up for a place with strong wifi connection, Victoria doesn’t have that. I could barely connect to their wifi). You can contact them at +63999 994 1332 or email them at [email protected]

Aqua travel
Reviewed By warrensK5538LIWe took the island tour A with Aqua Travel and were more than pleased with the adventure. The whole day was well planned and the staff ensured that everything went smoothly for everyone which is important when there is a lot of other tour groups and boats in the same areas. We have to put in a special mention to the manager of Aqua Travel ,whom went above and beyond to help my wife and I obtain a travel pass ( S pass ) in order to get to our next destination (El nido) We were having all kinds of trouble finding someone that could help us out and she took it upon herself to assist us, which took hours of her time. She was our saviour in a very stressful time and we can't thank her enough. Thanks to Kynie, Mike and his crew, we will definitely be taking another tour with Aqua Travel next time we visit El nido !

Wonderful weekend
Reviewed By curmdWe were delighted with our trip to El Nido! Rose and Ulli (hotel owners) made us feel most welcome and right at home. It was quite remarkable to wake up to the spectacular views that the room offers. Our son truly enjoyed the wonderful pool, and again... the views that it offers. It is true that the beach is rocky, but provides a cool opportunity to look for critters. When coming to El Nido, we knew what to expect, so our main goal was to explore the nearby islands and locations. Rose organized our private tours and we had a spectacular time. Be sure to go to the small lagoon if you are there - this was our favorite part of the tour! To top it off, Rose is a great chef, and we got to enjoy wonderful meals while there. She was most kind to accomodate our vegetarian requests and we never went hungry. After our departure we discovered my husband left his phone in the room. The owner personally raced to the airport and got it to us just in time as we were walking to the plane. It's like I told you, they treat you like family. We loved our trip to El Nido and happy that our hotel selection resulted in us meeting such lovely family.

The BEST wifi connection in El Nido!
Reviewed By jaredxtianI've been to El Nido 3 years in a row and I have stayed in three different places. Bunakidz Lodge is the most inexpensive of the three and it has the best wifi connection in all of El Nido! The room was small but very clean and comfortable. Each room has their own bathroom although not connected to the room. The price included breakfast which was a very good Filipino breakfast. But as always, the best was the staff's hospitality. I forgot the electrical charger on my macbook and low and behold, the owner had a macbook and the charger was the right size. She had no problem lending it to me. As a matter of fact...The people of El Nido will do everything possible to help tourists. Today, during our island hopping tour, some tourist dropped his Iphone Xs into the sea. The water was at least 40 feet deep. A boat with divers arrived and miraculously retrieved it from the bottom of the sea!!!

Love, love, love this place!
Reviewed By 869charlottevThe rooms are bohemian styled and super clean! The resort is under renovations, but we were properly informed on forehand. When we arrived I was sick and the staff helped us so much in getting better. As a gesture they offered free minibar. Nice feature as well ; the huge lcd screen in the room with Netflix (mediaTV) which was great whilst laying sick in bed haha The resort itself looked smashing and we cannot wait to get back there for the full experience ones finished!
