Quiet stay in the secret garden
The stay here was lovely, and it is close to the town square and the beach. I slept like a queen with black out curtains, and ac after a warm shower. Thank you for the hospitality.

The entrance to this pension is a terrible narrow unpaved alley with no enough light or signs at night, so getting in and out at night time is so unpleasant , we visted the pension to check in but we had to cancel our reservation for two nights for no refund because of that. If you are on a tight budget this place is still a good choice.

Hotel was very pretty, like the name says is well hidden but quiet pretty, rooms was very basic, no tv, quite small but it was ok as we was only staying there for 3 nights. Is very near the main restaurants and everything else which was nice, the beach was only 5 mins away if not less. Staff were really nice and welcoming.

Overall a good spot for the low price. Upon entering the room there was a bit of an odor likely due to the high humidity. After turning on the fan or air conditioner it goes away. On my second day, there was a blackout in all of El Nido so staying in the room was not an option because no lights, fan or air conditioning. Considering the place is a cheap pension there isn't a generator to provide power during blackouts. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you're on a budget and don't plan on spending time in the room it's fine.

Staff was very nice. The owner of the place was very nice and had us booked a ticket for a van going back to Puerto Princesa. Room was clean. Place was quiet. The place is near the port area when you do the Tours. When we got there last Sept 20, 2019. Some of the area was under construction. But it didn’t bother us for the duration of our stay. Will definitely be back.

Quiet little place to sleep and shower, but a little hard to find :).
I had a few mosquitos in the room, but that is normal.
I really like the quiet place and the host was amazing.
Definitely no "western standards" but I found it very clean and comfortable.
I would stay again!

A Decent 6 night Stay
I liked my stay there. The location is just far enough away fm all the action as it's a peaceful stay. I also enjoyed the hotel staff leaving coffee every morning on my little porch. Don't expect to get water pressure when taking a shower and expect EL Nido to get Black outs for 1-2 hrs just about every night!

This place it really HIDDEN!! Really liked the place, including the staff, location to the center of town and the room is great for the price. We only had problem with the water being clogged in the shower and the water has metal taste in it. (Consider yourself warned, most places in El Nido have this problem) We liked the privacy and quietness of the place, the compound is single floored surrounding a garden. They bring coffee/tea maker to your patio every morning and if you do request more it is free of charge. There's bakeries just down the street. AC works perfectly. Bed is on the stiffer side.The room is not newly furnished, but decent and roomy enough! Will def come back!

Awesome Hidden Gem
Hotel is in a great location, very nice touch is the coffee served on the balcony in the morning. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room is clean, hot water, comfortable bed. Ian arranged a scooter and all our tours for us which made it very convenient. Thanks so much Ian for all your help. We had a wonderful six night stay.
