The hotel itself is beautiful with a lovely breakfast and clean cool with hammocks. The location of the hotel however it is in the jungle area so walking distance to the centre of town can be tricky. Also, they didn’t have the bicycles on hand so we had to take taxis. However, if you were looking for solitude, it is very close to an amazing beach that doesn’t have lots of people which can be worth it. Sadly, we went during mosquito season so you have to be in your hotel by 7 PM. Otherwise you will be eaten alive.

The hotel was beautiful and quiet, but expect avery remote location. You do have to take taxis or bikes everywhere, which adds cost so be aware. The staff were friendly and helped as much as they could. The free breakfast was not very exciting, same thing everyday, yogurt, granola, fruit and biscuit, I skipped it most often but it was fresh when I had it. The last day, there was a very loud group that checked in that partied in the pool and their rooms till 2am, kept me up, but there are no staff onsite overnight so not much could be done about it. The rest of the trip was very peaceful. AC had issues in beginning but it got resolved. No fridge, and limited filtered water, so just buy a couple bottles to keep in room. Overall though the place was clean, safe, beautiful pool area, people are friendly and responsive, mostly quiet, but expect remote location and not a lot of dinner choices unless you walk for a bit. Thank El NIDO, I needed to recharge.

Clean but basic and lacks a central location

If you don't want to be near the centre, this is perfect. The manager is exceptional - and works long hours (but there isn't a permanently manned reception, so service may not be available promptly). Rooms are basic - no fridge, would have liked a filtered water dispenser in the hotel and I had to move to have a room with a desk and chair (not all have them). I can't fault the service or cleanliness. You can see the sea - on the horizon, between buildings- but it isn't on the beach.

Not a 4* hotel, lower your expectations

The hotel is very basic and I am not sure how they reached their 4* rating. Basic amenities (fridge, water) were missing from the room and reception shuts well before the last ferry to the island. Almost nothing is included in the hotel price and bikes, breakfast etc. cost extra despite being listed as included. Their marketing is very good but for half the price you can stay at a better hotel in the same part of the island.

The hotel is a tranquil place to stay. The soft music adds to the ambience. Brandon was very polite, friendly and professional. The rest of the staff were also very professional. The swimming pool and the area around it is a nice place to relax. The hotel is quite far from Centro so transport is required otherwise it's a 30-minute walk, which in the sun isn't advisable. There are very few restaurants nearby. The menu at the hotel has limited options. During my stay the cook was on holiday so the menu was even smaller. It would have been nice to have had more meal options available because as a vegetarian I am unable to choose widely. Besides this I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I would really recommend guests to stay here as well.

El Nido is A Gem!

El Nido is such an Incredibly Romantic Gem. The ambiance was felt immediately by My Partner & I. The Proprietor has done an Exceptional job creating a delightful and uniquely tranquil atmosphere. The energy of the space was just what We were hoping for on the Island. Very well managed & maintained. The staff was great…helpful and very detail oriented. They definitely made sure Our stay was pleasant. We will absolutely be returning for another stay next time We make it to Holbox. What a Beautiful Property!!

Property was very pretty, very close to beautiful Punta Cocos. Staff was excellent and very charming. About 30 min outside of town altho very easy to walk or take taxi. Beware there will be puddles if taking taxi, just a special part of Holbox.
