Misleading photos. Property very outdated and not in the best area. Staff and hospitality was great though I did not end up staying there but the staff had pleasure in assisting me in finding a much better hotel which was very much appreciated by them.

I stayed here on August for a solo trip. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I also really loved the room that I stayed in as it was very spacious. The only concern that I had was not being given a discount when the management offered to give me one before I checked in due to the pool being not available. The reason why I booked the hotel despite the location was the pool. Would have appreciated the stay more if they processed the discount or partial refund as they promised but they didn't get back even after 3 months have gone by. Nevertheless, the best thing about the place were the staff.

The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff, while mostly new, provided good service. However, the area was a bit inconvenient, since it was located off an unpaved road that you had to constantly rent a tricycle to get around the area. Since tric fare was a bit pricy, the costs added up. Plus, they did not have their own van to provide as transpo for guest to and from the airport.

Nice place, but have to improve some issues

The place is nice (nice bedrooms, nice pool) and staff are nice but there are son issues they need to address. They do not accept card payments or dollars. We are in the 21st century and this in not a cheap hotel, I don’t think this is acceptable at any descent hotel. How can be possible on this days that a quality hotel does not take card payments. Also we needed to change some reservations and they said the only have incoming calls not outgoing. Im talking about local calls. Hope they fix that as well. Also the hotel is on a very bumpy road and a little far from El Nido (It has a very nice beach close by though, Lio Beach) some times tuk tuks don’t want to take you there or they charge you more. I don’t think they can do much about it. I still believe this is a nice hotel, just hope they fix this issues. Just be aware if you decide to stay.

The place was very nice. The staff were super accomodating and very hospitable. The only issue was proximity. It was far from the town proper, appoximately 20 to 30 minutes away, and the tricycle fares were a little bit expensive (400 roundtrip). The road going to the hotel from the main road was a rough road (less than 10 minute rough road). There was a frog and a worm swimming in the pool at night. One hanger was broken and the phone wasnt working in our room. But overall, im still a happy customer.

Beautiful hotel!! Staff was amazing!!

Best hotel so far in the Philippines! Staff was lovely and very Accommodating. It’s quite far from the city but we just rented a scooter and were driving from hotel to town (so much fun!!) be careful the street is a little bumpy, but we looked forward for some adventure;) I would definitely recommend the hotel especially for couples and groups of friends maybe not the best place for single travelers however if you need some me time best place!!!

The staff are super friendly and helpful and the food was good enough. However, while the rooms look nice and modern, the cleanliness needs work. There was something about the bedsheets that made us itchy and I ended up waking up to a lot of bites. Not 100% sure if they were from the sheets though because my doc said they were sandfly bites, but I guess the sheets aggravated them cuz they only appeared the next day. We only stayed here for one night as well after our flight got cancelled. Getting to the hotel at night was also scary as hell, there’s hardly any street lights to begin with and google maps shows you two lio locations, one of which was wrong.

Small independent resort located nearby to town

It's a really nice little resort located close to El Nido airport, about 15 minutes drive from El Nido town. Simple but comfortable native-style rooms with aircon, TV etc. Restaurant has a large menu and the food is very good. Staff are super-friendly.

Great little resort away from the town

The staff at Lio Villas were exceptional. They're very kind and down to earth and will do everything in their power to make your stay a great one. Breakfast was included in our stay and that was also delicious! Also, renting a moped from them to travel into town was quick and effortless. The road towards Lio Villas is very bumpy however, and is sometimes difficult to find, as you have to turn into a residential road to get there. But, after a few trips to the town, you get the hang of it. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks to Ivan, McNeil and Walter for a great stay!

Nice quiet hotel away from El Nido Proper

My fiance and I flew into to El Nido on Air Swift. This was a great experience and saved doing a 6 hour van ride twice. I recommend it. The hotel arranged for pickup at the airport. The pickup was on time and the ride was only a short trip to the hotel. Most transportation in El Nido is by a motorized tricycle. This is a rather interesting mode of transportation but works well for the area. It is just a little bumpy and noisy. We were greeted by friendly hotel staff and they remained this way the entire time. They were very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. They helped arrange tours and we even rented a scooter from them one day which is a great way to explore the area and town. Breakfast was included and very good. Dinners at the hotel were tasty also. Depending on the person the distance from town could be a good thing or bad thing. We liked how peaceful it was. The area is quiet but about a 20 minute ride from town. This will cost 200 pesos by tricycle. They have a strict cleaning/damage policy. I suggest they revisit it. My fiance was having her period and we accidentally got a small amount of blood on two pieces of bedding. Nothing major and some hydrogen peroxide would have cleaned it right up. We were charged 1600 pesos (approximately $30 usd) for this. This seems excessive but the policy is clearly printed on the door. If this would not have happened I would have rated 5 stars. Overall it was a good experience.
