Mahogany is a hidden paradise! At first it looks small and basic, but once you see the rest of the property, you realize you don't need anything else! The rooms are so charming and well planned, they give you a sense of privacy, relaxation and a jungle-like feeling but with the amenities and luxury of a 5-star hotel.
The food at the restaurant is amazing! A small menu but has everything you need. We especially enjoyed breakfast (not included)! The coffee, the croissants, the fruit and the eggs, all delicious!
The staff in general are very kind, helpful and they look like the enjoy working there.
My husband and I loved the experience at Mahogany and will very likely stay there again!

Cannot complain at all with the cheerful staff, and the great location. Bravo. The only gripe would be that we found better food alternatives nearby, which was a pity - if the owners could look
around a little and improve their offering they would get my 5 stars

The resort was amazing. We stayed in a beach cottage sea view and it was so relaxing. The resort is boutique and very intimate. We felt so relaxed from the moment we arrived till the moment we left.

The pool is quite small but more than enough to take a dip and swim around. The beds in the water on the second pool were a bonus. Very chic. We always got a bed lounge to sit on.

The sunsets at the resort are amazing and people come from all over the area to see it and eat at the beautiful restaurant

We found the food very tasty and ate there most breakfast lunches and dinner we were in the rssort . We found it so easy and the prices were so reasonable.

There are alot restaurants in the area too which are a short walk away. Bella vita pizza in paricular is just as good as pizza you get in italy.

I read that the beach was not nice, but for us it was really stunning. The water was shallow but was very clear. More than enough for a swim, you just had to walk out a bit.

The staff are super friendly and they made our stay so memorable. I dont think You will be dissapointed if you stay here.

Its probably the most relaxing place we have been to and we are very well travelled staying at alot of 4 and 5 star hotels and resorts.

This place punches well above its star rating.

Thank you to all staff and manageement for making our stay so memorable.

A bonus is that tour a and c depart from the beach out the front of the resort.

We stayed for 8 nights and had a fantastic trip.
The rooms are basic Mediterranean style and a little rough around the edges, but they're very clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the bedding and towels smelled amazing every day. There's also a huge seating area in the room which was really comfortable, decent enough aircon, and a surprisingly good hairdryer. The fridge, however, was pretty useless.
Housekeeping was incredibly efficient our room was serviced almost the second we left each morning although the often forgot the replenish coffees. A nice touch was the tap outside the room to wash the sand off your feet when coming back from the beach.
The location is unbeatable, right on the beach.
Sunset views from the bar and restaurant are absolutely exceptional. The pool is lovely too, a great temperature and we always managed to find somewhere to sit although we were disappointed to see other guests reserving sunbeds and disappearing for hours towards the end of our trip.

We stayed in room 11 and I actually disagree with the other reviewers who say to stay closest to the sea. Those rooms are also closest to the pool and restaurant, so there's less privacy.
Our room was set slightly back and it was incredibly quiet.

The grounds are beautifully kept with lots of gorgeous plants, making the whole place feel like a little oasis. The manager always said hello in the mornings, which was a nice personal touch, and there's also a very cute resident dog.

As hotel inspector, below is my brief a summary of my stay
1, El Nido airport - hotel transfer Score 0 out of 10
Requested and hotel airport transfer for 1 person.
Hotel suggested Van transfer for P 1.200, as they have another car option for P1.000 which would be better suitable for 1 person, even so no Van arrived and I had to arrange private transfer,
2. Hotel to El Nido Ariport transfer - Score 10 out of 10
A very professional car transfer service
3. Food - score 8 out of 10
Excellent dinner food quality and great value for money for Philippine options. Tuna Tarte and Sisig Pork was outstanding, however non- Philippino breakfast food quality was poor, somehow better at hotel next door.
4. Hotel facilities - Score 5 out of 10
Beautiful gardens, nice pool, a large nice accommodation, however some room furniture requires maintenance, a very slow water flow in the shower. When I arrived TV was missing and no Internet for 3 days. Safe hard to operate.
5, Beach - Score 3 out 10
Beautiful views, however dirty beach and working vessels near by - not able to swim
6. Checking out - decided to leave earlier and stay a few days in Manila instead. During checking out hotel miscalculated my bill and overcharged. Requested refund but still awaiting on this. This is not a lot of money, but principle counts.
Hotel also did not offered some refund or compensation for my earlier departure
Overall ok stay, but unfortunately I would not consider to stay again.

Nice resort on the beach. Spacious room, nice pool, landscaping is well done. Friendly and efficient staff. Good food at reasonable prices and excellent massage. The resort is small and the immediate surroundings are shabby and scruffy, which is par for the course in El Nido. The views over the water are nice and the beach is clean. However it is not really a swimming beach, more of a tourist boat parking area, and walks along the beach are spoiled by the ubiquitous stray dogs - some of which are friendly, but not all. Overall, I would recommend this hotel as the resort itself is very nice and it is easy to get to other areas cheaply by using the tricycles that wait at the entrance.

Small 12 room resort with beautiful bungalows and great views of the pinnacles of El Nido. Gorgeous sunsets! Staff were extremely attentive, dining options were great and several other restaurants available right from our beach that were great culinary options. A quick tricycle trip for $2.50CDN gets you into the town of El Nido with some shopping and restaurant options as well as great dive shops. Rooms were beautiful but bed was very hard. Thanks to Joel for treating us like family.

Great stay, definitely recommend

Overall a great stay at Mahogany. The staff are super friendly and accommodating - a must-have for me when travelling. The food was tasty, especially breakfast! The pool is as pictured, as are the rooms. My room was clean and the A/C functioned well. Some things are a little bit dated, but still very functional and well kept. The bed was comfy too. My only complaint is the flies, ants, and mosquitos. I kept them out of my room pretty well except for a couple of pesky mosquitos. I know this is fairly unavoidable in this climate, but would be helpful to provide mosquito repellent and some methods of keeping the flies at bay, especially when eating. However, didn't detract from the quality of my stay!

Generally very nice but improvements needed

A lovely beach resort with a lot of lush vegetation and some cozy bungalows. We had a problem with our front door lock and the staff first seemed to have cared very little. The WiFi was of the poorest quality of all 3 resorts we have stayed at during our time in El Nido. The property is surrounded by some great restaurants but the dining options onsite are quite limited. It could do better with a bit more attention to details!

5 night stay. Rooms are clean, but no face cloths. One day returned to find no towels. Towels very worn out. A bit of investment would go a long way.Spa was noisy, no music , not relaxing.waste of money.Breakfast was cold most mornings, but loved coffee press. Caesar salad lacked flavour and dressing , the croutons were like soft bread. My wife could not eat it.Grilled fish is great. Front staff are great.. But the sunsets from the bar are one of the best in El Nido!

However the shower is very weak. The towels have stains and holes. The toilet is easily clogged (no, we didn’t do anything drastic). Many leaflets in the room about services that they can charge extra for, but not a single one about how to use the room, wifi or how to use the safe etc.

Overall had a nice time! The staff was friendly and our room was nice and cozy as well as super spacious. It also had the best shower I’ve had so far at the hotels I’ve stayed at. We had our own little porch and were close to the pool and quite close to a beach area. The breakfast was pretty good. My main complaints are the following: the Wi-Fi was quite slow and overall very unreliable, the floors seemed a bit dusty and not as clean, and the electricity randomly went out about 2-3 times overnight (fortunately, it was only for a few minutes each time and the power remained on for the rest of the day.) All the staff members we interacted with were quite friendly and super helpful. I would probably stay here again if I’m back in the area.

Angie the frontdesk lady has no customer service manners at alll. If she did not like what she hears, her standard response started with “ NO MAAM”. Very poor coommunication skills. We rented 3 cottages that could accomodate 8 total; there were 7 of us and pee-paid prior to arrival. At check-in wewere told by Ms Angie that an extra person will cost P150 a night. The place does not provide a statement of what you paid at check-in and what is payable at check-out. No receipts are issued for financial transactions either, ie tours, transpo & hotel stay. So at check-out without a statement issued at check-in and the poor communication of Ms Angie, we were given a surprise news that we owe a balance P5k for lodging. Again by word no statement provided. It apparently cost for 3rd person in bench-like setting that they consider a bed, an outrageous additional amount of P1,500 per night. We rented 3 cottages all with non-working door locking mechanism. The Deluxe Room that sleeps 3 was not allowed to have 3 but the Seaview Cottage was allowed; both have the same floor plan except one has a view. At check-out, food charges were being billed to us that we never incurred. The facility location is nice but the quality of sheets, towels, are very old/thin/overly used. The bathroom has no door nor even a shower curtain for privacy. The most disappointing was Ms Angie’s attitude of unwilling to first listen to the customer and interrupting with a “NO MAAM”.
