We had the most wonderful stay here, thanks to Ate Rhose, Oli, and the entire team. Despite our very late arrival (past midnight after a 5-hour van transfer from Puerto Princesa), they were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. Almost all the rooms are seafront, so we woke up to incredible views of the bay and the opposite islets every morning. The service was also top-notch; they offered free shuttles to the town square and organized several activities for us. The team was always available and went above and beyond. I would definitely stay here again!

This was my second stay at the Reef Strand. Last year I was there before the remodel. The place has a great new look and I'd call it a gem. Owner and most of the staff go out of their way to make things run smoothly. If your looking for a loud party haven it's not there. At the Reef you'll find peace and relaxation. However, if you want to stay up all night and drink till the sun comes up the staff will be gladly tuk tuk you to where the nights run into the day. Rates are reasonable considering pricing in the other 3 and 3 1/2 star hotels and all the meals I've eating there were very good. So if your going to EL NIdo it's well worth checking in, you'll prob be back for a second or third time like me.

Great location with lot's of charachter and a great staff that made all arrangements for us including tours. The location way down the Strand is what made it special, but also a little ways away from town. Their dedicated Tuk Tuk driver was awesome and easy to schedule, which eliminated that problem...
