愛妮島小灣渡假村 - 愛妮島

The El Nido Cove Resort is part of the LIO HOTELS GROUP which also includes the Huni Lio, Seda Lio and a few others. I was booked into the Cove but at the last minute was involuntary "walked" to a much lesser property, the Huni Lio. No compensation was offered by Lio Group and they did not offer even an apology. I booked a resort (# 7 in El Nido) and ended up in a Motel 3 1/2. I highly recommend you AVOID THE LIO PROPERTIES as your holiday may end up in the dumpster. There are better more ethical properties out there that may WANT your business.

The staff is composed of 6 14 year old boys from what I could tell. And the floor in my room was never swept and dirty the entire stay. There was a pitcher of water in the room and no glass. I’ve enjoyed hotels much better at half the price in El Nido. Also it is not 6 km from town center rather a 30 minute trike which is scary in the dark. The breakfast gets 4 star but other than that the food was basically non existent. If you go get there before dark because there are roots to trip over.

Hotel staff are amazing. However hotel itself needs some work. Not a massive investment needed to make it fabulous. tea & coffee, hairdryer and bath mat would make all the difference!

We decided to stay here as it was one of the only resorts we could find in El Nido at a reasonable price. The resort itself is located a 5 minute drive from El Nido airport and the hotel offer free airport transfer which was a bonus. The hotel was clean and staff were extremely friendly. The hotel is also a 5 min drive from lio beach and the hotel offer free shuttle to and from here too. The town is about 20 mins by a rickshaw which costs approx 300 pesos each way. The breakfast was average - not a lot of choice for vegetarians but other than that I would definitely recommend this hotel- the restaurant view is stunning and overlooking the sea. Overall I was very pleased with my stay.

Service was excellent. Location not so good unless you want to stay on the beachfront throughout your stay and have some peace and quiet. Charged me more until you find out the locals pay much less pesos. Special trips like to a nicer beach is even a lot more pesos. Would recommend town proper if you plan to be there anyway for island tours, food and bars.

The staff was so welcoming and helpful! My room was spacious and the view was breathtaking. I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful, quiet, peaceful resort.

It was very nice

The forest rooms are very dark, although you have more privacy. The island hopping tour company arranged by the hotel was not good, and kept racking on charge after charge. You’d be wiser to stay closer to town where every single activity is.

Great service, staff was friendly and accommodating. Location was pretty close to town, about 25 mins on trike. Room had a faint mildew/moldy smell but we weren't too troubled by it - may need to remove the floor rug to help with that. Like the property and thought the place was a good value. We took a kayak to one of the islands, was really nice.

Service was really good. Staff was friendly and pleasant. The down side is its quite far from the town area. Need to take a tricycle for 25 min to get to town and some part of the roads is quite bumpy. Hotel has extremely limited wifi and the electricity gets cuts from time to time.
