We absolutely loved our stay at Lio Villas! The staff were some of the best—super accommodating and genuinely welcoming. The pool and food were both amazing. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot away from the crowds, this is the perfect place. They offer motorcycle rentals and tours, and they’ll gladly arrange everything for you. We really appreciated how well they took care of us from start to finish.

I asked for a late checkout and was initially told it would be no problem as there was nobody booked after us, but alas apparently the manager had a problem with that. I was willing to overlook problems because of the late checkout, but now I will air my grievances. The AC unit upstairs was not working, and there was no phone so I could not report this. It was pouring rain and no umbrellas so I could not go to reception. No TV in room as advertised. WIFI was VERY slow or not working at all. There was no hot water for shower. No restaurant on sight. A stinky dog hanging around lobby area. The pool was nice and so was the gentleman working reception. Will not return.

I stayed here on August for a solo trip. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I also really loved the room that I stayed in as it was very spacious. The only concern that I had was not being given a discount when the management offered to give me one before I checked in due to the pool being not available. The reason why I booked the hotel despite the location was the pool. Would have appreciated the stay more if they processed the discount or partial refund as they promised but they didn't get back even after 3 months have gone by. Nevertheless, the best thing about the place were the staff.

The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff, while mostly new, provided good service. However, the area was a bit inconvenient, since it was located off an unpaved road that you had to constantly rent a tricycle to get around the area. Since tric fare was a bit pricy, the costs added up. Plus, they did not have their own van to provide as transpo for guest to and from the airport.

Nice place, but have to improve some issues

The place is nice (nice bedrooms, nice pool) and staff are nice but there are son issues they need to address. They do not accept card payments or dollars. We are in the 21st century and this in not a cheap hotel, I don’t think this is acceptable at any descent hotel. How can be possible on this days that a quality hotel does not take card payments. Also we needed to change some reservations and they said the only have incoming calls not outgoing. Im talking about local calls. Hope they fix that as well. Also the hotel is on a very bumpy road and a little far from El Nido (It has a very nice beach close by though, Lio Beach) some times tuk tuks don’t want to take you there or they charge you more. I don’t think they can do much about it. I still believe this is a nice hotel, just hope they fix this issues. Just be aware if you decide to stay.

The place was very nice. The staff were super accomodating and very hospitable. The only issue was proximity. It was far from the town proper, appoximately 20 to 30 minutes away, and the tricycle fares were a little bit expensive (400 roundtrip). The road going to the hotel from the main road was a rough road (less than 10 minute rough road). There was a frog and a worm swimming in the pool at night. One hanger was broken and the phone wasnt working in our room. But overall, im still a happy customer.

Best hotel so far in the Philippines! Staff was lovely and very Accommodating. It’s quite far from the city but we just rented a scooter and were driving from hotel to town (so much fun!!) be careful the street is a little bumpy, but we looked forward for some adventure;) I would definitely recommend the hotel especially for couples and groups of friends maybe not the best place for single travelers however if you need some me time best place!!!

The staff are super friendly and helpful and the food was good enough. However, while the rooms look nice and modern, the cleanliness needs work. There was something about the bedsheets that made us itchy and I ended up waking up to a lot of bites. Not 100% sure if they were from the sheets though because my doc said they were sandfly bites, but I guess the sheets aggravated them cuz they only appeared the next day. We only stayed here for one night as well after our flight got cancelled. Getting to the hotel at night was also scary as hell, there’s hardly any street lights to begin with and google maps shows you two lio locations, one of which was wrong.
