One of the best getaways ! And this property and staff made it happen. Gorgeous views and such a perfect location that every minute of the day came with its own new look.
People at the property and in general all Phillipino people are so warm and welcoming .
Norvin , Dorito, Mee choo at reception were great but every one ( and there were lots of staff ) is were great.
Only feedback is they should not charge for tea bags especially when stay is long and in room amenities don’t have enough bags to last the trip .
Otherwise perfect !!

Great hotel in an amazing spot on maremegmeg beach. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. The rooms were so clean and waking up to the view every morning was incredible, it was stunning. Couldn’t fault the mua tala and would highly recommend.

As others have said, there are times when you’ll need to splash through the water along the beach to reach the hotel entrance. It adds to the charm, I suppose.

The location is beautiful. Nearby restaurants are quite mixed in quality.

Loved this hotel and the staff were fabulous! However the food was appalling and service for food was extremely poor. Such a shame as can not fault anything else other than this. Poor choices and wanted the cesar salad one day but no chicken then tried to order it the next day but no lettuce. This was the norm for any food that you tried to order. I wanted poached eggs for breakfast but got hard boiled instead. They really need a lot of training in the kitchen to make this hotel great! Location was perfect

This place was magical. Rooms were gorgeous - the view!!! The overall resort was so well maintained, staff were constantly cleaning. The only downside (and no joke from other reviews) was the stairs. BUT you can only get the views from climbing up 😀. It is a walk through their little shops, through the beach and tons of stairs which made it a little bit of a trek for mt elder parents but honestly so worth it! Very much recommend thia place

Lovely beach and view, high tide makes it an adventure to access the property wading through shallow waves. Windows are rustic paper thin, lovely to hear the sound of the waves not so much the geckos and birds early in the morning. No water supplied and advised not to drink the service water by reception. Stay next doo at the Meg Meg beach club bit more expensive but is more refined. This place is all about the view great for a short stop but you’ll miss comforts for longer stays.

It was the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in my life with the exception of not having an elevator. We had to climb about 6 stories of steps up the side of a mountain but worth every penny. It was the most beautiful view from a hotel I have ever seen. When you get to your room you really find it hard to leave your balcony. My recommendation for the next person is dress for the beach and leave a bag with dry clothes at the front desk so that you only need to do the climb once a day. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was the best I have ever had in the Philippines. I have been traveling to the Philippines for 14 years and normally not very impressed with their food but they are always wonderful people

Right in front of Marimegmeg beach - so nice to be able to walk to it in a few steps from the entrance. Clean and spacious room with a great ocean view. Staff were attentive and helpful, and breakfast was tasty (only had Filipino dishes this time but they had western options as well). Would definitely come back when visiting El Nido next.

The room that we got is an ocean view with balcony, which has the best views you can ever have. The location of the hotel is in Vin Beach, which has its own beachfront access, which is very clean and has security for the hotel. Thank you to Norvin and Mitch for all their assistance!

Beautiful View, But Poor Cleanliness and Management

The view from this hotel is absolutely stunning. Waking up to the scenic landscape was the highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.

The overall cleanliness of the property was disappointing. There were dogs and cats roaming freely around the grounds and restaurants, which not only created a mess but also made the place feel unhygienic and poorly maintained. The noise at night was another major issue: barking, howling, and other disturbances made it hard to get a good night’s sleep.

We brought up our concerns with the management, but sadly, nothing was done to address them. There seemed to be little to no effort in enforcing cleanliness or providing guests with a peaceful environment. With some proper care and attention, this hotel could be a wonderful place, but until then, I can’t recommend it!

Everything did close up early and it’s fairly out the way so great for a quiet stay but maybe not for you if you want lots of choices and bustle although a transfer was easy and cheap.

Beautiful quality rooms and very attentive, friendly service through out the hotel. There is the most spectacular veiw out over the beach and ocean from the rooms and all public areas. Watching stunning sunsets from the pool was a highlight.
The Beach Shack downstairs is a great place for a casual lunch or dinner & drinks, with lots of choices. Plenty of sun lounges & chairs on the beachfront & the complimentary use of paddle boards & kayaks was fantastic. We truly loved our stay & didnt find the many stairs to the room too taxing.

This property have a million dollar view. I had stay there for seven nights. The breakfast was so so, Most of the time is a bit too salty. There are 2 servers are very exceptional, Lila and Ariel, Lila, she is very patient explaining the menu of local food to my wife. In the morning, the dining room is undermanned. I had observed that certain customer did get frustrated with the server, only one server in the morning for the entire dining room. Can only do so much by one person if too many guests show at one time.
The morning I checked out. It was very early---0400 hrs. my flight was 0600 hrs.The hotel sent 2 helpers to my room to assist my luggages. They were extremely on time. I would stay there again.

Mua Tala was exceptionally clean! The bed was comfy, and the shower had great water pressure which was lacking in a previous resort. The rooms were exactly how it was online, but better. Staff were helpful and very friendly. They carried our luggage’s from the beach front to our van transfer which was very very appreciated. We would recommend others to stay here and we would again whenever we return to El Nido :)

Lovely very elegant beachside property. Hotel is not drivable, you have to walk a fair distance from the road to property along the beach. There are no elevators so getting to the rooms is not suitable for anyone not willing to climb multiple sets of stairs.

WiFi did not work. AC did not work. No TV in room. I asked for a power adapter to charge Bluetooth speaker that was provided in the room and they just removed the speaker instead of providing a power adapter. For $330 per night, I was very disappointed. There is no parking, so if you have a rental car, as I did, you have to park on the very busy main highway and walk 700 m to the beach and hotel. The hotel is right on the beach, literally right next to the water, which is nice. It’s also a very busy beach, so take note if you’re looking for a quieter place. The hotel next door had a DJ playing at fairly high volume most of the afternoon into the evening. So no afternoon naps. The view is fantastic and it’s nice listening to the waves. The shower was great, very hot water. The breakfast buffet was solid. But I can’t get past this place not being able to provide basic amenities like WiFi and AC properly at that price point. I would definitely not stay here again and recommend against it.

Mua Tala is a gorgeous hotel. The view from our room “ UDTO” was spectacular. The staff is so nice and super helpful. Shena especially the restaurant host was extremely nice and accommodating. My son became sick while there and Shena and the chef suggested that they make Arroz Caldo for him. I thought that was extremely thoughtful. I asked if they had champorado on their menu and they said no but they made some while we were there. It was delicious. I definitely will recommend this resort.
They will not regret it. Thank you to all the guys who carried our luggage’s through 6 flight of stairs. That was the only downfall was the stairs but I just thought it’s my exercise for the day.
