ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Phenomenal staff with amazing service, the most stunning location with the beach/ocean right in your front yard, & an awesome food/drink selection that all tastes great! Zipline/island hopping tours/activities/shops & restaurants are all walking distance from the beautiful resort (front desk helped arrange our tours and shuttles). They also offer their own massages, provide good wifi, and have talented live music during dinner service. Rooms of course were super clean and cozy as well with a TV, and crisp air conditioning. This experience blew us away, I couldn’t recommend the lovely Las Cabanas crew and their establishment more!

Overall excellent customer service.

The weak internet is a broadband issue for the entire area and not the hotel. I’ve talked to the owner and he understands the need for a faster internet access.

As of today, they’ve installed a Starlink (Elon Musk) satellite internet dish and this should greatly improve wi-fi speed. But this is for future guests to comment on.

Lovely location, but weak room and services.

Lovely location and comparatively quiet beach versus other parts of the beach, BUT this is definitely a 2.5* hotel. First, there’s a substantial 200m hike from the road along the beach to reach the hotel. The WiFi is extremely weak and only works at the lobby/ restaurant. The rooms are reasonably-sized but very austere and of very poor design. I was fine with no TV, there there was no reading lamp. In my room there was quite a powerful AC unit but no controller. You’d have to be 7ft tall to reach the controller. An employee smiled and suggested that pulling the plug from the outlet was the only means of controlling the AC. There’s no hot water in the rooms - it must requested and brought via jugs. I had to request bath towels. The toilet seat didn’t stay up (no problem for women I guess). The mattress and pillows were fine and clean. The restaurant Food is ok, but there were no napkins at dinner, and during the day they ran out of 2 of the 3 beer styles they served. Staff were friendly, but they could use some guidance as to improving service levels.

Our stay at Las Cabanas in El Nido was a beautiful complement to our time in the fast moving city life of Makati. The beach cottage (cabin #1), the visual environment, the water, the people - every aspect of our stay left a deep and memorable impression on us. We were moved by the hospitality and kind welcome we received. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff is thoughtful and accomodating. Every view is of paradise. Much is said about the sunsets, and this is understandable, but the sunrise is something spectacular. I woke early every morning before the beach torches were put out so I could wade through the water as the morning sun burned away the mist from the surreal-looking islands, and illuminated the world class landscape.

I would suggest avoiding the group Island hopping tours and instead talking to Hazel early about chartering your own boat for the day. The trip with “Tom & Jerry” and “Captain Jack” was the highlight of our stay, and that says a lot. The whole venture brought us to 4 islands, one completely private beach, a feast of a lunch, an encounter with a 4-foot monitor lizard, kayaking, swimming, & cost us 1750 pisos for the day, and we tipped the guys the rest of what we had because it was so spectacular.

When we return to the Philippines we will undoubtedly return to Las Cabanas. Make sure to bring a range of cash (no cards accepted - you can catch a trike up to El Nido to the ATM for 150 Pisos each way if necessary) and please, tip well.

Manageress wanting to overcharge

Wouldn’t stay there again. Multiple times the manageress (not Hazel, the other lady in charge) bumped up a price they’d previously quoted us for each day trip we did. That explains the shouting match we witnessed on our first day between a lady checking out (she was paying for trips) with staff about her being overcharged. The first time it happened to us we paid the extra 1200 peso but after that we firmly said we weren’t paying more than they told us and she then went with the original price. It doesn’t make for a nice feeling about the place you’re staying in though

Amazing sunsets...

This place did not disappoint.
The location by the beach is fantastic tho far from the main town which can be a plus.. to reach the resort .. it's a 30min local ride of php 400. Then walking down a steep staircase of 71 steps..and a walk along the beach for 10minutes. The beach is quiet and vendors are almost non existent as opposed to the Caribbean resorts. Las Cabanas have a well kept landscape with several hammocks hanging between coconut trees. They also provide number of sunbeds for guests. Their restaurant serves a pleasing fruit platter or mangoes, pineapple, watermelon/apples for breakfast . For dessert, try their mango float.For dinner, we enjoyed their Tinola. a chicken ginger soup with green papaya and pepper leaves served with rice. We ate most of our meals at the resort and they are delicious and nicely presented.
We stayed in a room with no AC but the fans and the sea breeze made it comfortable. The room was clean and the bathroom is equipped with a decent shower. Shower is just room temperature no hot water. Take note : they provide a complimentary 1L mineral water everyday but no shampoos. They do provide a huge bottle of body wash.
What we love about this place.. your door opens up onto to the beach, the sunset, the island life before your eyes, the complimentary breakfast and the wonderful, hard working staff.

Great location

Overall was satisfactory. The location was amazing but be prepared to be isolated from town its a little bit of a venture however in my opinion worth it. I liked the room but there is no hot water or ac which didnt bother me. I didnt have much good to say about the staff esoecially front desk they were not helpfull we didnt have any sort of helpfull welcome or check out and the food and drinks were completely over priced and not worth the cost luckily there were other restaurants along the beach.

Un hôtel charmant face aux vagues

Excellent séjour. L’hôtel est face à la mer. Il n’y a aucun bruit à part le bruit des vagues. Tout est reposant.
Ambiance zen. Le restaurant est dressé sur la plage entre la piscine et la mer. C’est très agréable. Ambiance musicale réussie également.
Le personnel est à la fois souriant, aimable, serviable, attentionné. Tout est parfait.
Ne pas hésiter à aller voir le bureau pour les tours en bateau. Tout est très bien organisé.
Pensez également à réserver le transfert depuis l’aéroport et vers l’aéroport car il est difficile de venir par soi-même.
L’hôtel est en effet situé à un endroit décalé de El Nino le long d’une plage où se trouvent des bars et des restaurants.
Les repas, boissons et excursions se paient en cash.
Le wi-fi ne marche pas partout de façon uniforme.

Hotel parfait

Hotel parfait.
L'accès se fait uniquement par la plage mais je vous assure que cela vaut le coup.
C des bungalows individuels.
Pas de clim et eau tempérée ou chaud à la demande.
On revient à la base qui en fait d'ailleurs tout son charme.
Éloigné de la ville mais heureusement car seul les bruits des vagues viennent nous bercer.

The views of this venues are incredible, just for that is worth it. To arrive to the hotel you have to walk 10 min through the amazing beach of corong corong so is not that hard, they helped us with the backpacks anyway.
The room was nice with a terrace in front of the beach. the bathroom renovated and beautiful. As they don't have hot water they facilitate you some if you need it. The breakfast is very good and also the coffee. They are a bit slow to elaborate so better not to be in a hurry.

Enttäuschend

Obwohl das Resort sehr schön gelegen und auch sehr gepflegt ist, war unser Aufenthalt sehr enttäuschend! Dass die Bungalows eher einfach eingericht sind, wussten wir bereits und machte uns auch nichts aus. Der Grund wieso wir hier keine Nacht mehr verbringen würden liegt schlichtweg am Service! So einen schlechten Service (ganz geschweige vom Essen, aber das ist ja bekanntlich Geschmackssache) haben wir auf unserer ganzen Reise nicht erlebt und spiegelt auch überhaupt nicht die Gastfreundschaft der Philippinos wieder, welche wir ansonsten erleben durften! Wir fühlten uns überhaupt nicht wilkommen, es war auch niemand wirklich für Anliegen zuständig und es interessierte auch niemanden. Wirklich eine Schande für diesen schönen Ort und dieses Resort, es macht meiner Meinung nach so viel kaputt. Es ging soweit, dass wir in den 4 Tagen, in denen wir hier nächtigten, nur zum schlafen hergekommen sind. Wer auf eine schöne Lage mehr Wert legt wie auf die Freundlichkeit ist hier genau richtig. Für alle anderen: Sonnenuntergang anschauen ok, mehr aber leider auch nicht...!
