“Superb place with great staff!”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Great place with great staff and service. Very clean, drinking water provided (free). One of the best places in El Nido! It is about 15 minutes walk from "Downtown" and that is a good thing. Breakfast is great and owners and staff are very helpful. Value for money, Small "shop" is just 1 minut away if you need softdrinks, shampoo... More

Everything that clean u could lick the floor. Great, great (and pretty!) stuff. A bit off track - so u can be sure of quite- and peacefulness. Advice: Try the... More

We pre-booked through agoda and it was every penny worth! The lovely, very friendly staff provided us with everything we needed and the owner herself took even care of our special wishes, like flight bookings etc.

“Quiet place in a beautiful area”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

Twenty minutes away from town in a nice neighbourhood with good places to eat nearby. Very friendly staff. They serve breakfast and dinner. Very polite and helpful. We liked the cave with the monkeys. We love the terrace with seaview and hammocks. It's defenitely worth a stay!!!

“Great place!”

We stayed in both a beach front cottage and a garden cottage and found both were great. Obviously the view was better in==on the beach front but the garden one was still comfortable, our own porch and hammock, Beautiful gardens around and lovely staff. Very relaxing and well worth the price. Nice to be a short stroll from town too.... More

El Nido was a fantastic place to celebrate my birthday, and Golden Monkey's was the perfect spot to stay. It is ideally (view- and noise-wise) located just outside of town (10 min. walk), with stunning sunset views. Host Rose is wonderful and the hard working staff is always friendly. The boat trips booked from the resort itself are also great... More
