Was expecting better

Booked as the pictures looked great. The hotel is not cheap. Unfortunately, pictures looked better than actual. My balcony was overlooking the staff quarters which was not a pretty sight. Needs more attention on maintenance and cleanliness. On my request for them to arrange a van ride to Port Barton, Hotel Covo staff endorsed me to a transport group which charged more than 2x the regular cost of the van ride to Port Barton! I felt they treated guests just an invoice - no care to ensure a good experience and handover.

Very much liked the service of the attendants at Huni. Covo is currently undergoing renovations but we were informed on arrival straight away that they had re booked us and upgraded us at Huni one of the neighbouring hotels.

We originally booked to stay at Covo but when we arrived we were met with a series of unfortunate events met us. A typhoon had hit and while weather was bad the team at Covo didn't really seem to be doing much to attend to issues. When we got to our room there was now bedding, just a sheet on the bed, no towels & not hot water. The rooms don't feel finishe week, more like a glorified hostel than a $200 a night hotel. After going for lunch we can back to our room flooded! Final straw. We complained to management and surprisingly move to their sister hotel. Much better cleanliness, facilities and not water / zero flooding! Thankyou to the lovely Cat for looking after us and turning a potential 2/10 holiday back to 5 star.

Totally worth the money. We spent last two days of our trip there and it was best decision. The hotel us on par with Europian/American hotels. Rooms are very clean, crispy sheets, choice of pillows, powerful AC. Breakfast is ok, it’ll keep you going but definitely you can get a better food at the restaurants near by. The area and the nearby beach is georgeous.

small hotel with small rooms, close to airport

close to the airport, right by the beach, a few restaurants close. Small rooms, so so breakfast included, it didn't help it rained both days there, but not much else around. Free ride into town was nice.

Overall had an amazing stay in hotel covo. The resort facility was amazing, 1 min walk to LIO beach and accessible to many restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Easily accessible to the spa and the booking tour agency as well. Free 10min to shuttle ride to El Nido town ( which is overpopulated with too much construction going on). Hotel covo was perfect to get away from the city but fairly close by tricycle, shuttle and scooter. LIO beach was beautiful, with an amazing sunset, and much nicer than the beach located in El Nido town. The staff were very attentive and and caring for our needs and extremely helpful with anything we needed. Room was a decent size for 2 people. My only complaint would be that there were too many bees and bugs in the vicinity which you would expect being on an island. The bees however do not bother you unless you bother them. Looking forward to staying here again.

New hotel already in need of repairs!

Not a great stay at Hotel Covo. The hotel is set in a new resort area, Lio Beach which is lovely and not crowded like El Nido town (yet!). There is much development happening in the resort so hopefully there will be better services available in coming years. Service is below average at the hotel. Rooms are already needing repair and it looks as though he hotel has only been open a few months. We had a leaking ceiling for the whole stay regardless of housekeeping coming in daily and not doing anything about it and having no action taken when I told the front desk. Myself and partner were celebrating an anniversary and to be fair they did mention it on check in buyback honestly I would have preferred to have consistent good service than a couple of towels on the bed. All in all pretty disappointed with the stay. Lio Beach is lovely though so I would just reccomend checking out other hotels available in the area.
