The staff at the hotel were so helpful and flexible . A really friendly resort . They arranged our tours and transfers , helping us to arrange a private tour. Incredible sunset views from the pool and the sparkly lights at night in the pool were magical . A great atmosphere and all you could ask for .

Amazing pool and hotel, but bathroom was average and smelt of mould, which is a shame as it’s an amazing hotel otherwise. Food is average/reasonable.

I have mixed emotions about this place, though the Manager and her gesture of a bottle of wine was kind they need to focus on service and cleanliness. This is a nice resort however it needs a lot of TLC and attention to detail. We paid extra for a room with a pool that we did not use because of lack of cleanliness, the pool was green and they did not attend to it daily. The sheets to the private pool in our room were disgusting. Pool Water was just sitting and developed algae. We were here for 4 nights and they can 1 time to clean the rooms. The staff is so slow to attend to our needs and to service the rooms, they come late in the evening vs early morning when we leave the room. A lot of things on their menu they did not have, we had breakfast 1 day only due the the limited availability and lack of flavor. This resort dos have ice views and is away from crowds.

Enjoyed our stay at the Bayview. Loved the bay view from our room. Pool although was really nice, wasn't kept clean enough and was very cloudy. Don't think it helped with having day passes into the pool area. Location was very good for Vanilla beach and very easy to get tuk tuks outside of the hotel.

Incredible sunsets from the pool. Walking distance from Vanilla Beach and McDonalds. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Only thing our view from our room was construction and it is not handicap accessible as there are many stairs (no elevators) and quite an incline hill to get to your rooms. Overall, had a good experience with amazing views.

The dedicated staff at the Bayview resort was amazing. The team was friendly, helpful and always greeted us with a smile. Very hard working group of people. The room was clean, service was amazing, atmosphere and food was excellent. It felt like I was saying goodbye to my new family.

Our friends, who visited last year, said this year’s stay was better than last year thanks to the new manager and chef. Thank you staff at El Nido Bay View Resort for making our vacation memorable.

The staff at this resort truly made our stay unforgettable! This has easily become my favourite place in the Philippines, and I’m so glad we chose to stay here. My partner and I booked the Executive Suite with a stunning private pool — pure luxury! While there was a small technical issue with the pool lights, it didn’t take away from what was an incredible 10/10 experience overall. We even had the chance to chat with some of the staff and the manager, all of whom went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely perfect.

This hotel is below poor and we had many issues during our stay.
There is ongoing construction grind the hotel, ruining the garden views, and a new road being laid directly outside.
The advert suggests this hotel has direct beach access, it certainly does NOT! It is a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach.
We had ants burrowing through the wooden floorboards of our room, each morning we would wake up with new mounds of sawdust on the floor.
The patio door didn’t lock, despite raising this with maintenance it was never fixed.
The service is incredibly slow, some days you could wait up to 20 minutes for your order to be taken (we were one of 3 or 4 groups/couples staying). The evening menu is only half available, meaning a majority of the main dishes weren’t available. We found ourselves eating out most evenings as a result of this.
Upon check out, the hotel told us we must pay in cash, despite there being a card machine at the desk and having a sign saying they accept card. As we didn’t have any cash, they told us to go to the nearest ATM and withdraw (this was at 0630 in the morning)

I would certainly not stay here again.

Upon arrival this hotel is quite beau with an amazing view. Decent choices for breakfast and a nice pool with pool bar and music. Saying all that. I also used the laundry service twice and had two missing shorts. One swimteunk and one Jordan’s workout shorts. Also their room service menu doesn’t have all the items listed to order and the waiter had to. One 3 times to get another order. Felt bad for the waiter.

Far too overpriced for all the problems the rm has

Bad wifi using old legacy network equipment, toilet smelt so staff attempted to mask the smell with a scent mixer bowl.

Jacuzzi didn't have a working heater and the tv was unwatchable due to the poor satellite signal. Food was good for the breakfast buffett and the views of the bay were beautiful however the hotel overcharged me for this room with all the problems its not worth the money, I suggest you bring a wifi adaptor with you and if you are with Globe for Cell service you wont get reception.

Disappointed

We were very disappointed that there was 0 wifi our entire stay. This is crucial for travelers and there was no reimbursement or discount for something so necessary. The room we got wasn't the room we thought we booked so getting a dark room with only one window which everyone walking by can see in was not cool. The pool is right next to the dining commons and there was tons of construction going on, people constantly working even at 7am trying to enjoy breakfast. We found a few blood stains on our bed spread the first night and was sad about the lack of hot water, absolutely no warm water to shower with.

Great little spot for a short stay in Puerto Princesa. The service was wonderful and even though there were some glitches with our reservation in terms of the info being sent by the website to the hotel, both the website and the hotel worked together to get us both sorted. They accompanied us to the airport upon our departure and also brought breakfast to the room in the morning.

Nice hotel but...

The hotel is nice and well located close to Las Cabanas beach. But it is surrounded by working areas. When the electricity is down, the generator is operated, leading to even more noise.
So, if you are looking for a quiet place, forget it.
The stairs, to the restaurant or to the higher accommodations, are also to be considered for people with disabilities.
The room #101 is lacking of maintenance : leakage on the wall providing moisture inside the room, loose sink and tap, TV not functioning.
Overall disappointment considering the price of the room.

A Few Things About This Place

First of all, there’s a huge staircase you have to walk up and down everytime you want to go to your room so if you don’t want to/can’t walk up and down, go somewhere else!!! I accidentally booked this place a day earlier than the day I was going to check in and decided to just pay for that night and check in the next day because it was a last min booking and the fees would probably come out the same. Then I got an email saying it was cancelled and I would be charged a whole bunch of other fees... My data connection was super spotty when I was driving up from Puerto Princesa so I couldn’t do anything about it. I was freaking out because I was with friends and it was my responsibility... Luckily when I got there, they took care of it and made sure I wasn’t charged extra.

The next day, I heard a man complaining to the front about how there was a infestation in his room and brought dead bugs to the front desk and showed them pictures of how bad it was... That’s not all though... My friends and I met a couple from Vancouver BC and they smelled smoke coming from the room next door. I guess the TV caught fire and could’ve burned that complex down (there are about 5 2-story buildings with 2 rooms upstairs and 2 downstairs). A lot of problems here but besides that... It was okay... Oh yeah, the shower water wasn’t exactly cold but it was pretty warm. You won’t get very hot water but read from other reviews that that was common in El Nido.
