The staff was very helpful and friendly with everything we wanted to know. Quick to respond via WhatsApp and all around great staff. The room was spacious, very clean and quite silent for the position it has. Still they provide earplugs! Worth the money and a great experience to have stayed there. Free cold water taps near each room. The breakfast at Ver De was delicious and good in portion size too.

It was a very calm and relaxing environment, the facilities were very well maintained, the staff was extremely nice and the wellness activities and instructors were phenomenal. The description of the shared bathrooms does not do it justice, for all intents and purposes these are very very regularly cleaned outdoor full washrooms which are closed door and private when in use. The food and cocktails were to die for!

Fantastic location, walk to main centre, beach and canopy walk. Short taxi to Vanilla Beach. Staff are exceptional at everything they do, daily breakfast was fab! Not So Thai across the road is the best I’ve eaten outside of Thailand.

What I really liked about this stay was the exceptional service from the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. (shout out Remy), and another staff member whose name I unfortunately forgot. They kindly helped treat my leg after I accidentally fell into a hole, which I truly appreciated. The room itself was very nice, clean, and well equipped with plenty of amenities. I was impressed by the high-quality equipment, such as the Smeg water heater and Dyson hair dryer, as well as the LED mirror. The air conditioning was very cold, making the room extremely comfortable. The location was also great, just outside the main town, so it was peaceful and away from the noise, yet still convenient. Additionally, the hotel did an excellent job arranging my Tour A activities and assisting with bike rental, which made my stay smooth and hassle-free. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

We really needed to disconnect from a stressful year and spent the New Year there. From the adventurous trip to actually get there to the accommodation, everything was unique. We had a great time. The great hosts just opened this camp recently and you can tell how passionate they are. They can be very proud of what they did. We forgot our busy life and relaxed fully. Thanks to them.

If you’re reading this—stop and book it. Seriously. This place is worth every single peso. • Great location ✅ • Incredible service ✅ • Super comfortable rooms ✅ • FREE motorbike (!) ✅ • Thoughtful extras like airport pickup, breakfast to-go, beach towels, umbrellas… ✅ What else could you possibly ask for? ⸻ 📍 Location The hotel is just a 5-minute drive from Lio Beach, one of the best beaches in El Nido. It’s also only 15 minutes from El Nido Town, making it super convenient for island hopping tours and dinner spots—without the noise at night. And if you’re chasing sunsets, Nacpan Beach is just 30 minutes away. Truly the perfect base to explore paradise. ⸻ 🛏️ Room We stayed in one of their domes, and it was honestly one of the most comfortable glamping experiences we’ve had. The room was spotless, cozy, and—surprisingly—not full of insects. But just in case, they also provide insect repellents. We were initially concerned about three things: 1. Roosters: Yes, you’ll hear them (welcome to the Philippines!). But they also offer earplugs and a noise-canceling machine. We didn’t need them—but it’s great to have the option. 2. Heat: Not an issue at all. The AC and fan worked so well we actually turned them off at night. 3. Outdoor bathroom: Totally fine. Clean, private, and added to the charm. ⸻ 💁 Service TJ, Bham-Bham, and the rest of the team made our stay feel like home. Our room was cleaned daily, and the breakfast was next-level good—plenty of delicious options, and they’re happy to customize based on your preferences. ⸻ 🏍️ Motorbike & Extras This is the real game changer. A free motorbike included in your stay? That alone saves you 700–900 PHP per day. In El Nido, having a bike is a must—taxis are expensive (300 PHP to town, 450 to Las Cabañas, 900 to Nacpan). They also: • Pick you up and drop you off at the airport • Offer early breakfast if you leave for tours • Provide beach towels and umbrellas Seriously, they’ve thought of everything.
