The hotel is in dire need of a make over. Th owner should reinvest some of that high room rate ( for the condition of the room) into new shower head, or toilet paper holder and maybe some small shampoo and conditioning. If you book, insist on room 11, otherwise you get view of coconut tree.

bay-side hotel - basic, clean and helpful.

Great hotel, our room faced the beach. Rooms are basic, with a wet bathroom (which is common across Asia), breakfast is also good. Good location away from the main noise of El Nido. This was my second stay at Rosanna's. They do have rooms that do not face the beach, so just check what you're booking. Reading other reviews, its clear that some people come to El Nido expecting city-level service and facilities. El Nido might be 1 hour flight from Manila, but its still remote, with limited and under developed infrastructure--power, sewerage, electricity, internet, roads, health services.

The only good thing is the view from the balcony

We booked this hotel in March 2017 via Expedia for stay from 1-3 Jan 2018. When we arrived at the hotel, the staff could not find our reservation. She tried to search our booking reference number, name and even in cancellation lists but without success. She told us to call Expedia to sort out the problem. With no other options, we had to make an international roaming call to Expedia. The staff at Expedia were going back and forth with us and the hotel, giving other reference numbers for the hotel to search but still nothing. All this time we had to talk to different people from Expedia and hold the call while they contacted the hotel. The call lasted more than 30min which we were billed about US$60. Although staff from the hotel and Expedia were trying to help but we were not satisfied with their method. When we told the staff at Expedia to call us back once they had sorted out everything, they just kept on telling us to hold. The hotel staff also looked very confused and didn’t know how to deal with the situation. They did offer us to check into another hotel and give us a cost difference refund if that other hotel costed less but could not give us an answer to what if it costed more..? It was just a very frustrating situation. In the end, with our luck, one of their guest checked out earlier than expected, so we eventually got the room we wanted. The room had a nice balcony with the view of El nido town and the sea. I will never book through Expedia again. Bad experience!

Ideal hotel to bookend El Nido Paradise tours

This is a comfortable hotel within steps of the El Nido Paradise tour boats (and their office, and restaurants)...That means ultimate convenience -nothing between you and the beach but your patio and immediate access to rest (and quality air conditioning) when you complete island hopping. As of our visit (yesterday), wifi was based out of the lobby -not the rooms- but we had a room near the lobby and that gave us fairly reliable signal.

This hotel is in a great location of El Nido and it is a very clean and well kept hotel. The staff was ok and the breakfast was good. This hotel is directly on the beach and has beautiful veiws of the sunset. The rooms are very clean but a bit small but it was ok.

Room double booked, resolved eventually

We booked a beach front room (at extra cost) 6 months before our stay, when we arrived we were told that the room was unavailable due to a plumbing issue. Alarm bells rang, I had read a similar review about them before. We questioned this as all of the beach front rooms were obviously occupied and eventually the staff admitted it was a lie and they had sold our room to someone else! With the support of Hotel.com and after lots of complaining at the hotel we were given the room we had booked, compensated for their mistake and we had a lovely time. I just want to warn others, if they try to say that there is a fault with your room you should question this as it's possible not the truth!

Friendly staff, Clean basic rooms, beautiful beach

We visited as a couple. Located near the end of the busy El Nido strip, a short walk to the nearest restaurants, cafe's, bars and shops- plus a super pancake shop at the end of the road. Beachfront- the sea crashing literally meters away from the balcony. Clean hotel, friendly staff. The upper level rooms were much nicer and quieter than the first lower level room we were in. The drainage in the bathroom of the lower level room 7 not great and smelt, luke warm showers which drenched the whole bathroom- could do with a shower curtain in both rooms. For the price, free wifi (although a little slow) and location, you get what you pay for. Id stay again in the top level floors.
