Great staff. Somewhat distance from the town center (approximately 15 mins by transportation). Some of my time was spent on tours and eating dinner by the town square. Not much to do at the hotel. Most of your time will spent going to other destinations.

Charlie’s El Nido was an absolute gem. It’s not on the water but it is only a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach and very close to the airport. The pool was crisp, the facility was well maintained and the rooms were great. We did have a suite but still, what we had was quite nice. Especially compared to some other properties around the area. My extended Filipino family also loved their breakfast stating it was very good. They offered a variety of Filipino classics along with pancakes and eggs for a more westernized (American) breakfast. We will definitely consider Charlie’s again for a return visit.

The hotel has very efficient staff with quick, no-hassle check-in. The room assigned to me was clean but was located in one of the hotel's wings that required a short (down) stair to reach. It has a front balcony that was slippery from the rain. I will not recommend this hotel for those with mobility issues. There are, however, many pluses for most guests. The staff is very attentive and engaging. Their shuttle drivers, in particular, are very accommodating without sacrificing efficiency. They have a regular run to the El Nido city center, allowing their guests to join island-hopping tours without the additional cost of the ride to the tour's departure point. They also have a scheduled trip to and from Lio Beach- an excellent free beach that those visiting El Nido should not miss.

I like the location-very close.to the airport. It is a bit far to town but we didnt mind. The hotel was quite, clean, had the necessary amenities such as pool and restaurant. The hotel does provide shuttle to Town but very limited, so we had to ride the tricycle for the most part. The only negative I can say about the hotel is the room smell- its a bit musty especially if the AC is not on. Overall, we liked the hotel. As I mentioned if you like to be close to the airport and want a quite environment. this is the ideal hotel.

Our stay at Charlie’s El Nido was absolutely wonderful and truly exceeded expectations. The rooms were perfect — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The bathroom was spacious and modern, and we loved having a balcony overlooking the pool, which made mornings and evenings especially relaxing.

The restaurant was fantastic. Breakfast every day was excellent with plenty of options to choose from. The omelet station was a highlight, along with fresh fruit selections, a variety of hot dishes, and fluffy pancakes made fresh upon request. Everything felt fresh, well-prepared, and enjoyable.

What really made this stay special was the staff. Every single team member — from the front desk and restaurant staff to security and transportation personnel — was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay.

The hotel amenities were great as well, including a full bar, gym, and a beautiful pool area that was perfect for relaxing after island tours.

Overall, Charlie’s El Nido is a fantastic place to stay, and we would absolutely return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting El Nido!

The hotel is fairly new, clean and with a nice pool area. The staff is attentive and helpful. You can book all tours directly with reception. The room is spacious and comfortable. However, the air con has some very strong lights which blink overnight, disturbing your sleep. The roosters next door were also a natural alarm clock we did not want to have in our holidays. Although fresh, the buffet breakfast was more like a continental type and could have a bigger variety of western food including cheese and cold cuts. Lastly, the shuttle times to the city and Lio beach were very limited (once in the morning and once in the evening), so we had to pay for a Tuc-tuc to get to those places nearly every time; it would be great if the shuttle ran every hour for guest convenience. Overall it was a great stay.

This isn’t far from town proper , and they offer a few shuttles per day into town or the beach. I highly recommend Lio beach , sunset is amazing, and so much good food to enjoy.

We rented a room with pool access which is the only room I’d ever book. It was so nice to go to your balcony and swim whenever you wanted.

Room service was so amazing. We sued the fridge to stick up on drinks as theirs only a small store nearby with limited selection. The restaurant was great, many options. You’ll enjoy the breakfast and prices.

Staff was so so amazing. Would stay again

We did get stomach issues during our stay, though we tried to be very careful. Cant say for certain it was due to food at the hotel but be wary of the water while you shower, no ice, only bottled water, only cooked food, etc.

The staff at reception were not the usual friendly philipinas...except when checking out. The room was very poor. Took 3 visits to reception to get internet and a phone. Room was dark and damp. Not what i expected at all from an \"exclusive hotel\". In the restaurant flies were everywhere too.
Long way from town and only 1 free shuttle in and out. Expected alot more shuttle runs in a resort like this. Not good!

The lobby and public areas of the hotel were quite nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful, our room was incredibly damp and the bathroom remained wet with condensation running on and running down the walls even 12hr after a regular hot shower. I don’t think the fan was doing anything at all and the window was open. In addition I realised on the last night in the room that there unfortunately were bed bugs and some pipe had bust leading the room to be filled with a putrid stench

The hotel is nicez looks kind of new. The positive points is that the area is peaceful, not noise. Not too far from Lio Beach. They have a shuttle to El Nido town and to Lio Beach. The shuttle to the hotel from the airport is very convenient but make sure you call them before.

The negative points is that tge towels to go outside of the hotel to beach or excursions are not.complimentary, you have to pay to.rent them. The hotel is around 20 min from the town and they only offer the shuttle 3 times a day. Otherwise you would have to get a tuk tuk, many tuk tuk drivers don't know where is the hotel even if you show them the location.
In the town is where most of restaurants and activities are located but could be noisy.
Lio beach is so beautiful, but again they have only 4 times a day shuttle.
I think the location of the hotel is not the best, there is nothing around but the hotel looks nice.

Noise levels were often quite high in the bedrooms from street and roosters from neighbouring properties. Communal area was also noisy at unexpected times like a 4 hour pool party with loud music. Restaurant was also not up to scratch and the fact you can’t expense to room is also annoying. Another example of an issue is that on one evening there was a buffet dinner that wasn’t communicated at all, and given distance hotel is from town this caused a lot of hassle for our family. Finally, there should be more frequent shuttle buses to/from town given how far away it is - tricycle is fun once! Summarising: better communication and service standard from a hotel that pitches itself highly, but based on our experience doesn’t meet.

We were upgraded the first night to a Premiere room because they oversold the rooms. That room was beautiful, but the next day we had to wait for the original room we booked to become clean and available. That room with 2 beds was all right. It was clean so we didn't mind. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family, and we would definitely stay here again.

For value of money, a la carte breakfast is below par.
Not much choice for those whose booking didn’t include breakfast.
Puto bumbong and bibingka a great addition.
Staff are excellent, friendly, efficient.
Hotel is inconvenient except for shuttle but it’s per schedule.
The pool made up for the vexation.
Booked superior twin room and it was so tiny, no space to move for two people.
I had to upgrade to family room and cost me more plus breakfast was also not included.
In all, it proved to be expensive for me.
Booked through WOTIF who failed to follow up on my complaint. The booking was for El Nido but system recommended Puerto Princesa advising it is nearer the place of accommodation I’ve chosen.
I ended up paying another $900 approx to book from MNL to ENI direct per family suggestion as van from PUERTO to El Nido will be sheer punishment for my 72 years. The air fare could not be refunded, flight destination could not be changed, flight unable to be cancelled. WOTIF not of any help, bad customer service.

Our stay at Charlie’s El Nido was absolutely perfect from start to finish. 🌴✨ The resort is modern, peaceful, and beautifully designed — everything feels fresh and well cared for. The pool was stunning and such a relaxing place to spend time, and our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable.

What really made the difference was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely thoughtful — they made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The service here truly goes above and beyond.

The breakfast buffet and restaurant food were excellent, with plenty of variety and consistently delicious meals. We also appreciated the convenient shuttle service to town and Lio Beach, which made exploring easy while still being able to return to the quiet comfort of the resort.

This was one of the best resort experiences we’ve had in the Philippines. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in El Nido with top-notch service, modern facilities, and a tranquil atmosphere, Charlie’s is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Family of 6. Stayed in April 2025. The resort was clean, modern, and ideal for families. We booked two family rooms with balconies overlooking the pool. Staff were friendly, and the breakfast buffet had a good variety. We also had dinner at the restaurant, where staff kindly sang for a family member’s birthday. Food was delicious. The two pools were perfect, and rooms had air-conditioning. The balcony had a rack for drying swimsuits—very convenient.

A couple of issues, though:

1. **Egg station at breakfast** needs improvement. The chef was by themself and confused, and orders were delayed and got mixed up. Guests were waiting too long or taking eggs that weren’t theirs because they did not want to wait any longer. Suggest assigning a second staff member to take and manage orders by table number. Our daughter didn’t even get her eggs until we were finished eating.
2. **Shuttle coordination for private tours** was disappointing. Our tour ended early, but there was no shuttle back. The front desk told us to wait an hour, pay for private shuttle, or pay for tricycles. We paid a premium for the private tour and expected better coordination. Staff insisted we use their shuttle but failed to provide return service without extra cost. It felt disorganized and unprofessional. We had a rental car and we could’ve just used our own car if we knew this would happen.

Despite these issues, the resort was still a pleasant and relaxing place to stay.

I wouldn’t stay there again. I’m not sure why but there is a heavy odour that is coming from downstairs. We booked this hotel because it has a gym but we were unable to use it simply because the smell in that area was unbearable. The chocolate in the room fridge they placed for a fee is covered in mould, like it is sitting there for years. We also didn’t have a hot water on the first day. Neither we had a good experience at the restaurant, staff forgot about our order, we waited nearly an hour to eventually have grilled squid to arrive uncooked. Breakfast bar is decent, lots of choices. The location is near construction site but there was no noise. It is 6 mins away from Lio beach that is very beautiful and has lots of restaurants. The hotel offers free rides to the town and to the beach.
