"Excellent Staff "

"amazing staff, amazing villa and the decor inside and amazing food and their presentation. everything was just so well thought out - i'm truly amazed"

"From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Noud and his team are spot on with everything. We had room 5 on floor 3 and the view was beautiful of the limestone casts and the sea. The young lady who spoke English was an absolute star from check in, trip booking, waitress, housekeeping and anything else we wanted. We don't eat garlic so eating out in the Philippines can be quite a challenge. After discussing this, the chef adapted the menu for us by cooking to order and the food was lovely. Airport transfers were arranged easily too. The pool area is in nice condition and great to cool off in. The location makes it easy to walk down to the beach, restaurants and shops. Trikes are plentiful if you don't want to walk. We always ate in Mansion Buenavista. On our last day we had an early flight before breakfast was served and they made us a packed breakfast to take to the airport. It showed such kindness and we really appreciated it. Thank you to the whole team who work hard to give their guests an amazing stay. We would highly recommend Mansion Buenavista and it will be our first choice if we can make it back to El Nido in the future. "

"Incredibly beautiful hotel and location. Literally a paradise! Very friendly, accommodating, and professional staff. Highly recommend it!"

"Amazing place, staff was second to none, beautiful amenities from room to pools to the gym, highly recommended"

"Late night check in was appreciated! "

"Loved this place so much. Would absolutely return, the staff was wonderful, and the location was great. Didn’t get the noise at night that other people comment about at hotels closer to the beach. "

"ROOM I had the Casita Deluxe (villa type accomodation). There are only two of these available. Both front the water and I would consider them the best option for the hotel. Coming in second best is the casita rooms, I think there is between 3-5 of these rooms available. Only one fronts onto the water, but the others are still lovely and you can see the water from the front balcony. Double gem is one of the best resorts along corongcorong. There are maybe 2 fancy ones, but a very different price range. There is room for improvement. The room and sheets were clean. Clean towels were given. The safe worked. Aircon and fridges always worked well. LOCATION The location of corong corong is good - many options for convenience stores, laundry, food etc. it has everything. It is only a 10 min trike to the other more northern el nido beach location which is 100-150 peso. I’d prefer to stay on corongcorong as you can swim in the beach and it has beautiful sunsets (unlike el nido beach). SERVICES The service from all of the workers is great. Jong from the bar (with the little ponytail) was so happy and helpful all of the time. We watched him deal with some unpleasant people and he handled it very well. Always made great drinks and had great service. Jovert (I think is his name) helped with our bags, and anything we needed help with. We would be sitting at the pool and he would be rushing by to help guests, all with a smile. BREAKFAST "

"Hotel in good location. Rooms are very basic & need better furniture, (wardrobe door & shower doors did not work). Very good breakfast & friendly staff."
