Sofronio Espanola Vacations from $236

It was a budget Hotel but location was good Was a lot of ants but it's the Philippines

This property suited our needs perfectly. It’s right on the water and right in the center of El Nido. It’s right next to restaurants, tour information, and a convenience store, plus an easy area to grab a trike. The only complaint I have is that the rooms are all adjoining so it was a bit loud if you have neighbors. We could hear the rooms next door TV all night. Otherwise it had exactly what we needed and the staff was SO nice and caring.

Newly opened property, still not at full operation, but I can only imagine how fine a hotel this will be after the grand opening. Little touches of service make this place special. Complimentary airport transfer, welcome drink and towelette, turn down service with local sweets, no charge for late check out. The staff know your name and always greet you with a smile. The food and drinks were excellent quality. They even packed me a to-go breakfast for an early morning tour, and had a beach towel in a branded tote ready to go for me. Wonderful experience in Puerto Princesa!

Lihim Resort in El Nido was an absolutely amazing world-class experience for us. The service and professionalism of the staff is absolutely top notch and far exceeded our expectations. The way the resort is designed allows you to experience the beauty of nature in El Nido while simultaneously enjoying a luxurious villa that is well appointed and thoughtfully designed. Restaurant Gana at the resort has some of the best Filipino food we have had in the Philippines, but can also serve great dishes for those that prefer more western cuisine. We participated in two boat tours, one of which included trips to Lihim’s private lagoon in Cadlao, and a private beach in Hayag. These trips were the highlights of our travels, with amazing views, delicious lunches, and wonderful guides. We can’t recommend this feature enough! If you stay here you must take a boat tour at least once.

We had an amazing vacation here for 5 nights. The beach view suite was spectacular! Everything was worth every penny. The views, sunsets, snorkeling at your feet, private beach, lemon squash drinks, island private tour, the amazing staff, and our romantic birthday dinner. Thank you to the incredible staff and manager! Hope to be back again and stay a little longer.
