Great place, great staff, great location. The only issue I had was the noise of the dogs barking way too much at night. They had some house dogs that they should really put somewhere else besides, let them walk around at night because the other dogs on the beach will try and out bark them.

Not much available in town. Nice staff. Bev is friendly and helpful. Our oceanview room was spectacular due to the view. The room itself is a conglomeration of what ever materials they had laying around.

Fantastic value for money stay in El Nido. Make sure you get a room overlooking the beach. Cleanliness could be better but everything else including staff helpfulness is first rate. Don’t be picky and you will really enjoy your time here.

The room #1 was great for the view and the bed was comfortable, however, being next to the restaurant sucked! People were loud until after midnight and the staff were nowhere to be found to complain to so I had to tell others to be quiet myself. The water in the bathroom stunk like sewage and the room needed repair as it was old and dated. Furthermore, with breakfast included, it was not good and the staff would either knock on your door late at night or early morning waking you up to ask for what you wanted to eat the next day only to be met with a cold meal when you got up to the restaurant. Lastly, the dogs around in the restaurant stunk and caused fleas to be around. Like I said, the location right on the sunset beach is amazing, but the place needs serious attention to look after their patrons…hopefully the nice front desk lady sees this and makes it better for others. There are many other properties close by that we would stay at next time

Great place to stay

Really enjoyed the stay. Just enough out to main town so you can detach but still within walking distance to everything. Breakfast was good and a great cup of coffee to aid a hangover.

We liked the beach view from the restaurant and super friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to the beach. Our breakfast was included, however the options weren't great and portions were small. Our room was nice and spacious, good AC ,however the shower was not great, on one or two occasions we had no water at all. Overall we had a very nice stay!

So when I first got here, there was so much wrong with this place that I was leaning toward two stars, but then overtime, the view and amazing staff won me over. So let’s touch upon some of the bad before we can focus on the good. First, my check-in was delayed until 4 o’clock. Not a major thing, but a little annoying. However, something that was really annoying was the construction that went on all day long. Oh, and on the note of construction, I got trapped in my first room (the moved me to three rooms throughout my stay) when the lock seem to break for no reason. One of the hotel workers heard my cries, and we were able to free me by slipping the key out the window. So how does this place rate four stars. Well, the view for one. It was so relaxing to get away from El NIDO proper, and just spend the day looking at the waves and those giant rocks off shore. The area of success was the staff. Everyone was so nice, and so friendly that I soon forgot the negatives. In fact, when I got sick, the manager sent her employees out for medicine and supplies. The genuinely concerned for my health and that means a lot So would I stay here again. Yes.

It's a Filipino resort that looks and feels like it was built and furnished from leftovers found at the salvation army store. It definitely has character! The beach and sunset are awesome. The wifi is really horrible. And the cell signal is terribly weak. If they only fixed the wifi it would help justify the room rates they charge. And breakfast could be also be improved. But chill out and enjoy Palawan 🙏

I like this place. It’s not perfect like other modern western style hotels. But it’s the imperfections that make this hotel perfect for me. The cottage has character. The garden is so peaceful. And the beach is literally 4 steps down from the patio. Can’t say enough about the staff. No uniforms here. Just friendly and accommodating people that treat you like family. And they have puppies! Yes puppies! Two adorable and very friendly puppies. My son loved them. We’ll be back!

Sunsets at our balcony were great. Our room is in disrepair. Cracks on the wall, tiny roaches scrambling, water was brownish...yes, as in rusty and smelly too. AC was working but filter is full of dust. No soap or anything in the room. Breakfast reservation was at 7am, nobody was there. We had to wait for 15 or more minutes before someone greeted us to check in. They were painting the walls, great. But, more than that they should deep clean the rooms and rstaurant. Overall, the place can be in a much better shape if managed properly. Will I recommend Island Front? No!

Perfect stay

I found this accommodation to be surprisingly good. Front desk was very nice and helpful. The room was clean, beds were comfortable, and we had a balcony overlooking to the sea. The beach right in front of the hotel is beautiful and quiet and there is nothing more relaxing than sitting there during sunset. Breakfast was yummy with three different breakfast options: Filipino, American and Continental. A good sign of appreciation towards their customer is that upon check-out they greeted us with some cookies. Definitely this accommodation is underrated on Hotels.con

The natural and wooden style is very nice. However internet was not working at all, my deluxe room also did not have hot water in the shower (got hot water once, other times it was either warm or cool), at times there was dirty water coming out of the shower and the sink. Also breakfast are very small, monotonnous and overall quality is just bad. Generally I don't think this place is worth the money.

Good views but only an ‘ok’ stay

Islandfront was ok for the few nights we were there. The breakfast was very poor as very little options and even though there were two signs to say coffee and tea there was no tea. The WiFi wasn’t connected when we got there so the staff had to go and buy more data and then when they did that it only lasted ten minutes so we had to go to a cafe to check emails and book other accommodation for our trip. The room was nice and had a lovely view but very basic and there was two power cuts which made the room very dark

Fantastic stay!

At fisrst when reading the reviews from prior guests, i was a bit skeptical....but then when we arrived, i seriously didnt knkw why there was so many bad reviews! We checked in and within 2 minutes, everythin was sorted, from room, to van back to Puerto Princessa and even tour A for the next morning. The young lady took us to our room, and the photos did not do it justice at all. The view was just amazing overlooking the entire bay and the sunsets were mindblowing. So i would reccomend paying a bit more to get the better room, but totally worth it. The room itself is very basic, but everything you need from fridge, ac, bed with net. The restaurant staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to help us. The knly setback was the wifi....but if you go to el nido....you dont need wifi. Overall a fantastic couple of nights and we will reccommend it for sure....but remember, book the better rooms for beach front view!
