We had the most beautiful stay at Bahala Na Villas. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They anticipated our every need and delivered a high quality service from beginning to end. Just exceptionally beautifully maintained property and amenities. We loved every minute of our stay. Best room service food I’ve ever had at any hotel. You can tell the kitchen staff put so much love and care into the preparation and presentation of every meal. Excellent communication with staff via WhatsApp was so convenient. They really go above and beyond. I’m already recommending this place to all of my friends and family

Hi MiMi. We miss El Nido so much. You made our stay very special. Here is a review you can use.

From the moment we got to Bahala Na Villas , our stay was absolutely amazing. From the welcome drink and accommodating our early check in, Mimi and his staff went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. The property was incredible, rooms were so clean and staff were always available
To bring us water or whatever we needed. The breakfast every morning was delicious. We were able to rent motor bikes directly from the property. Everything was absolutely perfect. When we are back in El Nido we don’t have to look for another place to stay because there is no where we would rather be than Bahala Na Villas. Thank you Mimi and staff! 🙏🙏🙏❤️

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the villa and would rate the entire experience a perfect 10 out of 10. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with refreshing coconut drinks waiting for us, which immediately set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

One of the highlights was the amazing private pool. It was beautifully maintained, offering complete privacy and the perfect place to unwind at any time of the day. Whether it was a morning swim or a quiet evening dip, it truly made the stay feel luxurious.

The staff were exceptional throughout our visit. They were always friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful with anything we needed. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay, and the staff made the whole process effortless, providing great support and guidance, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable.

The food was another standout feature. Every meal we had was delicious, fresh, and clearly prepared with care. It added so much to the overall experience and made dining at the villa something we looked forward to every day.

On checkout, we were pleasantly surprised with a thoughtful farewell gift of homemade cashew sweets with sugar, which was a lovely and memorable touch.

Overall, everything about our stay was perfect. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-cared-for villa experience.

Loved our stay in Bahala Na Villas. Downside is definitely the location—roads are undone, and it takes a while to get from one place to another.

However, the service, communication, and attentiveness of the staff is what made our stay exceptional. Great massage service, breakfast included, and food selection.

Private speedboat was a great touch. Few mishaps due to the weather but the team coordinated to give us the best experience.

Would love to stay again!

The villa was lovely, and everything was spotless. They even served breakfast each morning, and the happy hour drinks were quite good. However, there were a few small hiccups. For instance, the safe in each room didn’t work, even with the key.

The most worrying thing happened when the carbon monoxide detector alarm went off. I called the front desk, and they sent someone to investigate. They took out the batteries, which obviously stopped the alarm from working. Probably should have handled that issue differently. Safety issue.

Overalls, our stay was nice, and the staff were very helpful. I’d definitely think about staying there again when we come back.

Had an incredible stay with my family at Bahala Na. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home. The staff were so friendly and helpful with planning our stay and daily activities. Villa was really comfortable and we loved the convenience of the in-room menu which had so many yummy options for kids as well. Great location, with only 5mins drive to Lio Beach and many restaurants, shops and activities. Will definitely be back!

Everything was perfect! Only comment that we have is that going in to the property is annoying. Not their fault but the government (talk about local and national government corruption). The road going in is all muddy. We just felt bad for the tricycle drivers/hotel staff because of the road situation but still they were too nice and gave their best serving the guests. Would def recommend still!

Bahala Na is a Diamond in the Rough kind of place. They are able to offer you anything in the area which means less hassle and all the options available to you. The place is beautifully kept which gives you many opinions available to you. If I ever visit El Nido again I would definitely come back.

This place is so close to being a little oasis, but just falls down on a few big things.

Firstly, the access road. Simply not fit for purpose.

Secondly, it’s noisy. Cockerel’s nearby constantly making noise - it’s incessant, to the point where sitting outside on the patio is unbearable.

Lastly, premium prices require things like a bathrobe, slippers, body lotion, conditioner, constant restocking of water (as tap water cant be used even for teeth cleaning). Wouldn’t cost much, but would elevate the property so much.

Lastly, the staff are lovely! Really excellent service and a credit to the property.

AMAZING HOSPITALITY

INCREDIBLE!!! The service was just amazing. The staff is on top of everything and they are there to make your stay as memorable as possible. We were so thrilled by the hospitality alone that we extended our stay a few nights and shaved our other non-refundable stay off the trip haha. All in all, the staff is the BEST you’ll get and the stay is just beautiful. I’m going to dream of coming here again!!

I would highly recommend staying at Bahala Na Villas! Staff were so friendly, kind, and accommodating. The actual villa itself is stunning, prestige, and very clean. Normally I don’t like resort food, but their room service was absolutely delicious and the presentation was amazing too! They arranged tricycles and private vans for us. They were willing to arrange tours. It was a very close location to beaches and attractions. They even held on to our luggages before and after we checked in and out of our room because we wanted to explore El Nido! On the last day, I was also feeling sick so they were very generous and extended their hospitality towards me to ensure I felt safe and was sheltered before my flight back. I can’t express enough my gratitude to the staff here! They were so so carring!

Bahala Na Villas provided very kind and attentive service. The What's App communication made it very easy for us to chat with the entire team (esp Monic & Win) to schedule transportation, ask questions, and more. All of the staff was so welcoming and supportive of our adventures! The giant morning breakfast basket was a great way to start the say with Pinoy cuisine, fresh juice and French-press coffee! We can't wait to return-especially for Bahala Na's Speedboat Tour with Capt Ed and 1st Mate Sean! Maraming salamat!

This place was amazing, we stayed for 4 days. Its a little difficult to find cause it goes into some small streets. Transportation isn't easily accessible, but the staff coordinates the transport anytime on your behalf whether its a tricycle or a private van. I reccommend taking the tricycle if you're brave enough and looking to save a significant amount of money. El Nido proper is about 25-30 mins away by tricycle and 15-20 by van. Cellphone reception wasn't too good on the property, so you have to rely on the staff to coodinate on your behalf, but they had strong and stable wifi on the property. There aren't much food options in the nearby vicinity, but the food they offered on the property was great with reasonable pricing. Our villa was incredibly clean and spacious, and the pictures they show are exactly how they are. We communicated with the staff thru Whatsapp for any of our needs, which was incredibly convenient. This is a great place for people who value privacy and time for relaxation. There aren't too many villas on the property, so chances are you won't have much neighbours while you're there. The staff's hospitality go above and beyond, they're very kind, accommodating, and helpful. If you're planning to go island hopping (Tours), try looking into the packages they offer. We had 5 people with our group and we saved a lot of money with our tours, and at the same time we had our own private speedboat and tourguide (you just need to let them know ahead of time).

Am from Toronto, Canada and we had a great stay on Bahala Na Villas last October 12-15, 2024. This is very spectacular private villas. When we arrived at night Win and Pao welcomed us so well and they offered us fresh coconut juice. The bedrooms are very comfortable, kitchen has complete utensils, bathroom is very clean. It is very cozy.
I would like to go back to this villa again.
Highly recommended 👍

We had transportation needs to and from and they helped to coordinate it all. The Villas were stunning and Janet and her family were all so impressed. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing vacation or getaway. Thank you! 🙏

This was a great place to stay if you don’t like crowds and other tourists. First off, they have beautiful rooms and the friendliest staff anywhere. Second, the food was amazing and simple. I was surprised how good the food was and they offered local and popular cuisine. Third, the privacy was key for me. You can easily stay in your room for a day or two during your trip to wind down. We loved our stay and we would definitely room with Bahala Na again.

This villa was very clean and comfortable. Cleaning service comes and clean the entire place daily from dishes, bed, pool cleaning, floors, outdoor area and even sorting out our personal items like folding clothes etc.

There’s two specific females that usually work the afternoon and night shifts that we really enjoyed their company, they were lovely, helpful and always greet you with a smile on their face. I forgot their names but if anyone chooses to stay at this villa, you will be in good hands.
The road to the villa is rough but the place is private and quiet and it has everything you need.
Highly recommended.

sehr schön, aber etwas abgelegen

Das Bahala Na Villas ist etwas abgelegen und wenn man nicht selber Motorrad fährt braucht man eigentlich für alles ein Trike. Das Zimmer selber ist gross und vorallem das Bett ist angenehm. Eher schade fand ich dass es keinen TV gibt, sowie ausser dem kleinen Privatepool es keinen andern Pool gibt. Das Frühstück wird im Zimmer serviert und ist teilweise zu gross ausgefallen. Speziell zu erwähnen ist das freundliche Personal, vorallem die Bedienung an der Reception ist immer sehr freundlich und ist immer hilfreich. Grundsätzlich eine tolle Unterkunft, halt eben mit dem Nachteil, dass man für alles ein Trike (Zusastzkosten) benötigt und die Villa selber preislich sich eher im oberen Rahmen befindet.

In general we had a good stay in Bahala Na Villas. The accomodation was very clean and nice decorated. In addition the stuff was super friendly and the communication super fast and good. The only thing is that the property is a bit far away from the town and the water pressure in the shower too low. We had a good experience.

Mykonos-villor i Filippinerna

Magiskt boende en bit utanför El Nido city center, men nära till favoritstranden Lio Beach. Avståndet var inget problem tack vare scooter uthyrning direkt från boendet. Med otroligt vackra villor i Mykonos stil, en högklassig service från personalen och smakrik frukost kändes Bahala Na Villas som hemma och blev snabbt mitt favoritboende på Filippinerna. Även om sängarna kändes en aning hårda för min smak, så blev villan en perfekt tillflyktsplats att spendera några dagar i när jag och sällskapet lyckades bli magsjuka och med en trevlig personal som tog väl hand om oss blev vår tid på El Nido väldigt lyckad trots motgångar.
