I arrived very early and the hotel staff was kind to allow me to leave my luggage at the reception. Everyone was very friendly and the location is beautiful, perfect for a relaxing time.

Prior to arrival, it was extremely difficult to communicate with the resort to book the hotel transfer from the airport and boat trip. However, a couple of days before after several tries I got a response confirming airport pick up.. For the boat trip, I was lucky as there was still availability for that day when I arrived.

The resort is in great location, just a few steps from beautiful Lio Beach. Resort is nice, clean and the staff is very pleasant and helpful. The room was comfortable with enough space for our stay.

I would recommend looking into the kitchen/cuisine improvements. The resort has the potential due to its location, why not make it a favourite place to eat? For us, the breakfast was not good, the choice was poor. You don't want to eat heavy fried stuff or pasta for breakfast. We ended up eating eggs every day, as you have a cheff to prepare it for you to your liking. We didn't go for dinner here. Maybe next time, if it improves? 🙂

Very close proximity to Lio Beach, pier, restaurants, and airport.

The position of bed is away from electrical outlets. You cannot lounge in bed while charging your phone. They charge $500 for van ride to airport which is about 3 minutes away if stay is thru booking.com. Compared to the other resort we stayed at in Puerto Prinsesa which had complimentary airport pick up and drop off and much wider variety or breakfast items and drinks. Isla Amara just fell short of what is advertised and value for money.

What we liked is the beautiful decorated rooms they had. It felt good walking in it the very first time. A wonderful room we can call home away from home. We also liked the pool and the reception area with polite and happy staff. In addition we like the breakfast and the ability to have someone make omelet, although it could used more flavoring. The

Overall our stay was pretty good, what made it not as good is the keys to both rooms malfunctions multiple times, the safe we used malfunction the first time it was used and the food’s flavoring could be better and the road leading to the hotel is unpacked and didn’t look as presentable.

good stay at lio beach. the place is clean and the beach is beautiful. many shops and quirky restaurants. as a spaniard i have to recommend the spanish restaurant, it really met my expectations. prepare yourself for European prices. pool is good and clean, i read reviews that it was bad but not for me. breakfast is decent, i also read bad reviews but i saw good variety. obviously the price of the hotel is for the location and the security. very pretty at night too! very well taken care of.

property told us the typhoon knocked the wifi. you only have signal and wifi at the small lobby. i understand that accidents happen. they do tell you about the wifi. but its been 2 months of reviews complaining about the wifi. i do advice the property to change this so they can be compliant with their resort status

Honestly we loved our stay. We read many bad reviews but for us it was one of the best hotels in the Philippines in that price range. Beautiful hotel, fresh and clean rooms, comfy bed, lovely staff, amazing location right by the beach with plenty of good restaurants. Very happy with our stay!

Breakfast was a bit too simple, but it didn't bother us too much

Friendly staff and accommodating waiters during breakfast. The rooms including the restrooms were spacious. On our last day, it was a Saturday, the food served in the buffet was good (mushroom chicken and chicken adobo).

There were small roaches in the restroom. We waited a while (around 40 minutes) for a single plate breakfast to be served when it wasn't in buffet style, it was a Thursday. There were times when the pool didn't smell good.

Location is very near the Lio Airport and Lio Beach, which was amazing. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Keep it up.

Although the breakfast was varied from day to day…it could still be improved with better selection and taste especially for foreign tourists who normally don’t eat Filipino type breakfasts. For the fruits, I suggest that they taste if it’s sweet or sour before serving.

The hotel had a good variety of food for breakfast, the staff was very nice and helpful, and the location was great relative to shops and the airport.

The water pressure of the bidet was a bit powerful for private areas, noise was a bit excessive at night and early mornings.

Amazing location, right on Lio beach and close to all the restaurants. Very good value for your money. Scooter parking right beside the hotel for easy rides into town and around. Lio beach is perfect for sunsets, watersports and swimming. Staff was very flexible with our check in and out times. Highly recommend for your stay in El Nido.

Breakfast options can be improved. No salad nor fresh vegetables. Limited fruit. After making the room, only 1 towel was replaced while we were 2. Also no hooks in the room to hang towels or swimsuits to dry. Water also wasn't refilled but there were machines in the hallways.
