"We love the cleanliness of the room, very modern amenities, super friendly and helpful staff. The convenience of free shuttle. The awesome beach and beautiful scenery, great restaurants walking distance to the hitel. The airport is 5 minutes away. This place is a real paradise."
"While the staff was very friendly and helpful. This place is absolutely not prepared to host guests. It is listed as a resort however, there is only one villa that is actually completed and the rest of the property is very, very much a work in progress.

It’s about 800 feet or so, but this place was completely totally...

""Open the door, and Nacpan is right there. No searching, just there.
My girlfriend said this place made her forget why people take photos, because every angle is already good enough and pulling out a camera felt like an interruption. We had our own little bungalow. The room is compact and you take it all in immediately. Outside the door there’s a small terrace, plants on both sides giving some privacy, and we sat there for a long time doing absolutely nothing.
One practical thing: there’s no...
""Honestly, as someone who treats eating like a religion, my biggest fear coming to El Nido was checking into a place that slaps “vegan” on the menu and serves you a sad plate of lettuce with nothing to say for itself. H Hotel is not that place.
The chickpea omelette eats more like a French crêpe, slightly bitter at the finish, but in an interesting way. I went back for more that evening. Breakfast has real variety too. Over three days I had something different each time: pancakes, the chickpea...
