Spa Hotels in EL Nido

"”Twenty-one days in the Philippines, five different hotels. H Hotel is the best one. No debate. That’s it. First morning, still half asleep, stepped out onto the balcony and the bay was just right there. Neither of us wanted to leave. The staff remember things. Not in a trained way. They actually remember what you said yesterday and bring it up today. That’s different. For breakfast, sharing one portion between two people is more than enough. You can add a smoothie or a coffee alongside it. After days of heavy food, an easy plant-based breakfast is exactly what you want in the morning. It felt like a reset. The room is clean and comfortable. We spent time in the hanging chair, we didn’t want to get out of bed, the TV is big and the picture quality is good. We genuinely had to push ourselves to go outside. Piece of Sky at night: good cocktails, the bay lit up below, live saxophone. I don’t know where else in El Nido you get all of that at once. That’s the stay. Worth it.”"

"Finally, a good night's sleep in El Nido! The biggest worry about staying in the town center is the bass from bars and the noise of motorbikes at dawn. I chose J Boutique because it’s located on the outskirts of the main town—it's much quieter, and there’s a huge massage parlor right next door! The room isn't big, but the refreshing color palette is very relaxing. My only minor gripe is that you can still hear people talking in the hallway, but compared to the chaos of the main street, this place is heaven. The bedding was dry and fresh, which is a huge plus for me since I hate that damp island smell."

"Even with a late check-in, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious. The room was very clean, and having a terrace was great for drying swimsuits after a dip. The direct access from the pool to the sea was incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The bed was plush, and the pillows were super comfortable. The pool is stunning! The location is also fantastic, being close to shopping areas, restaurants, and tour operators. And a big bonus: at night, you can see countless stars from the beach in front of the pool area – it's like they're pouring down! Everything was perfect, with only one minor drawback: there was only one mirror, located in the bathroom, which was a bit inconvenient. If there had been just one more mirror, it would have been absolutely flawless."

"Top location. At once beautiful bay. Sustaining was darkened by the power and water shutdown in the first day. The hotel was not ready - there seems to be no generator, so when the island is a problem with electricity, the hotel is dark, although the nearby hotels included generators. According to the room itself - no criticism, acceptable, although there are ants and very old air conditioner in the room. But it works, so there are no downsides here. The service is minimal and very non-invasive. In 5 days cleaned once."

"Staff was amazing, friendly and caring! And this hotel felt more like a resort. All the amenities were wonderful. Loved the cat living in the lobby. He made our day! More shuttles to and from the beach and El Nido town are needed. We struggled getting our own transportation from the hotel."

"Located just north of the main town and boat departure beach. Complimentary 24-hour tuktuk service, but walking only takes 15 minutes or so. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was nice and A/C worked well. Bed and pillows were a little firm, but reasonably comfortable. Included breakfast is good. Resort is divided into 3 parts. Cadlao 1, 2, and 3. 1 is at the entrance, 2 is next, and 3 is the farthest away (but still only a few minutes walk). 3 is also the most secluded, which might make it a little quieter. J Benito tour agency is directly across from the entrance, if you want to schedule tours."

"I'm not picky and we travel a lot, so I have plenty to compare with. But here, I was shocked by the sheer number of negatives all in one hotel. We stayed in two different room categories (including a suite). For its price range, this hotel was a huge disappointment (this is our third hotel on Palawan, all located near beaches, and the prices were more or less the same). Inside, even on the bed, there were tiny ants crawling around. Breakfast isn't included, and the rooms aren't cleaned. Once, throughout our entire vacation, I asked them to clean the room and change the bedding. They came by evening, but they just took the towels and didn't replace them, saying everything was being washed 🙃. After showering, I had to dry myself with a dirty t-shirt because nothing in the room dries properly. The Wi-Fi constantly cut out, and for the last few days, it didn't work at all. Overall, it was a complete misunderstanding; the only saving grace was the ocean view from the room! There was mold on the walls, I even saw spots on the mattress. The extractor fan in the shower didn't work at all, the toilet seat was loose, and there was hardly any water pressure in the sink and shower, just a tiny trickle (I assume for economy — even in the suite) – I've attached photos (notice how the faucet is installed). On the last day, the air conditioning even started leaking. There's no safe, and the door lock sometimes fell out with the key, and I had to reinsert it into the hole. If you want a somewhat comfortable stay, only book the suite; the price difference isn't that much. The TV is in the photos, but it's not actually there, though we didn't need it anyway."

"Enjoyed my stay so I extended twice! Friendly staff. However, the noise from the street can be heard in the rooms."

"AUG 2025- BEAUTIFUL weather to celebrate 50th Birthday in Paradise. Top-notch hospitality, warmth, and exceptional service!! I am long overdue in sharing my review, but I am excited to share my experience. My husband booked Seda Lio for my 50th birthday celebration. From the moment they picked us up from the airport in a golf buggy , which my boys loved, to the front desk, where we were greeted with drinks and a wonderful welcome, we knew we were in for a exceptional time. The service was unparalleled, led by Miggy, Devine, and their team. They upgraded us to a beautiful and spacious suite, closest to the beach. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and I must mention the delicious Taho and exceptional service provided by Jason and his team (forgot to mention the lady that served our table across the main door who was equally exceptional as well ). I received birthday cake greetings twice during breakfast, courtesy of Jason who made sure I blew my cake before we went for Island hopping, and again during dinner. Kuya Eddie was remarkable, making us feel safe during our island adventure and taking my sons snorkeling.And made my sons coconut palm hat. Seda Lio exceeded my expectations, making my 50th birthday celebration truly unforgettable. Thank you, and I cant wait to return to paradise.. 5 ⭐️"
