“Big Paul’s is the place to be in El Nido - we didn’t know what to expect and opted for a private twin room with for £15 each
Free rum and coke - for 3 hours
Copious free shots - made by Paul himself
Loads of other amazing backpackers from around the world
Free breakfast and just everyone is so nice!
5 mins in a tricycle from El Nido town centre
Bike rental yards away
Can’t fault it one bit - we only wish we could have stayed longer (my liver probs couldn’t take it though)”
“From the supervisors, waiters ans waitresses and housekeeping people, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. The room that we got is an ocean view with balcony, which has the best views you can ever have. The location of the hotel is in Vin Beach, which has its own beachfront access, which is very clean and has security for the hotel. Thank you to Norvin and Mitch for all their assistance! Extremely happy with the hotel and would definitely come back! ”
“"I had an incredible stay! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking view—it was truly unforgettable. What made the experience even more special was the outstanding hospitality. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming at every turn. Whether it was the front desk team, housekeeping, or even the security guard, everyone went out of their way to greet me with a smile and show genuine respect. This level of service is rare and truly appreciated. I can't wait to come……
“Wifi very bad
Booking a room for my family through hotels.com for 2adults,2kids(one 9yrs old,one 3yrsold), the hotel ask for extra payment for my 9yrs old daughter for 1000peso each night, I have never seen anywhere else in the world, the price of a room will depend on how many persons stay in.”
“This was a great experience staying! U can walk to the beach within 2 mins. Along the beach u also can go to other hotel bar to enjoy your meal n watch the beach view. If u bring ur kid is very okay to leave them play around the beach. Parents can sit in front of bar to watch them.
The price compare with same location hotels is really fantastic but the facilities maybe better than others! If u wanna live here u also can consider the villa room because the price of villa room just a bit higher……
“This place is beautiful. The staff was amazing, very kind and friendly. They do everything they can to help you however they can. Our hut or housing was very nice and on the porch was 2 comfortable chairs and a hammock which was a very nice touch. Some people were saying that the water for showers were cold and my girl did too, but i just left it running for a couple minutes and it heated right up and stayed that way. They do have scooter rentals and free rides into town but to get to the resort……
“Very nice hotel, the rooms are very clean, it's very close to the beach and the staff is lovely. We loved our stay there, they were all very nice and helped us booking everything. Thanks!”
“We are so happy that we chose to stay at Bayview Country Inn at El Nido. All the staff are friendly,
(thank you everyone), food are so yummy, our room is so clean, bathroom and toilets are clean too. I highly recommend this hotel. ”
“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. ”
“lovely, authentic place located in beautiful nature surroundings on the top of the hill (mind there are a lot of steps to get up there, although worth it). Walkable distance (1 km ) from the Vanilla beach , were all main amenities such as ATM, shops and restaurants are available. Overall great place and definitely would recommend it.”
“Really enjoyed my stay at Coco Garden. The owner Ray, his associates George and Gerri Lynn made my experience in El Nido memorable. Treated me and every other guest like family. Ray will do what he can to assist in your travels. The property itself is close to Vanilla Beach and some eateries. It’s more chill than the standard hostel. Rent a scooter and you’ll be good. Wi-fi in all of El Nido is spotty, so you have to patient, but Ray will help you if you’re in a pinch. Will be looking forward to……
