"We were at the Lawin room and it was awesome! lovely view, quiet and rooms were super clean. Friendly staff and very accommodating. The location is perfect as it’s far from the noise of the town area but close enough to walk if you like or it’s just a tuk tuk ride which the hotel provides for free.
Overall it’s amazing stay and we recommend this resort!"

I & my wife really had an amazing time at Buko Beach. We visited this July 2023, and the receptionist Arlyn was so kind and nice. She was able to book us Island hopping tour trip and other activities. We really enjoyed our time there. It was superb. Overall the hotel workers treated us so kindly and with a warm smile all the time. Worthy visiting.

The location is excellent, right in the middle of everything yet fairly quiet with an amazing view. The staff was very friendly and helpful and it was safe and clean. Most importantly for me, the bed was comfortable :)

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Seriously that best service I've had. We booked the beach front room and it has the most beautiful views. The place is seriously breath taking with clear blue waters and limestone cliffs. Breakfast is complimentary and of course I ordered the Filipino breakfast every morning we were there. Our waitress grace was awesome. Their Blanca pizza was delicious and on our last night we had the filet mignon which was delicious as well. We did the island hopping...

ALL staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially PJ. The food was good, waiters and waitress did well with recommendations. Nice clean large beach. Liked that they also have Kayaks to borrow and activities if you want to participate. We were very pleased with the guys who took us on the island tours "A", booked through the resort.

The staff was friendly and very helpful when it comes to questions. Their food and drinks is also good. Location was convenient if you want to go to the town or restaurants. It is also close to the airport you can just ride a tricycle. I love how its just for adults. It is a very relaxing place to stay. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. No complaints. I would stay here again when I come back to el nido.

The Staff is amazing. The room we had was incredible. The view is the best you will find in El Nido. The restaurant is great also. It’s on the hill side so there are some uphill walking involved but they also offer vans to take you into town at a really great price. And they pick you up whenever you ask just WhatsApp them. They couldn’t be happier with my stay here. Will be back.

Great place because it was downtown, close to everything. You can book any tour from the hotel and they will come pick you up. Comfortable bed, small shower room but great room for the price. Staff was very accommodating. I would definitely stay there again.
