Pros (+) Best location in El Nido. You can kayak to Small and Big Lagoons, Secret Lagoons, and other secluded beaches. One of the best snorkeling sites is in front of the resort. The staff were friendly. Clean facility. Great bartenders and cocktails. Eco-friendly. Great excursions.
Cons (-) The place needs a major update. I think it was built in the 1980s and stayed there. It's becoming frayed around the edges. You can see some things are not well maintained. Food is variable but mostly over grilled or overcooked. Wine selection is mediocre to poor.
