We spent 2 weeks at El Nido near Playa Chiquita in April. Paolo, Vittoria and Nina were the best hosts you could possibly ask for. They were there to take care of us and addressed anything that needed attention immediately. We felt well taken care of. We arrived after Easter Week and the entire coast had slowed downed considerably and... More

Just returned from 4 days at El Nido Cabinas. I highly recommend staying here. The hosts are wonderful and strive to make your vacation as relaxing as possible. Breakfast is included and was always delicious! You are surrounded by the jungle so keep your eyes open for monkeys, sloths, butterflies, etc. The beauty of the beaches is beyond words! I... More

Well, I don't even know where to begin to tell you about how absolutely perfect our stay at El Nido was. Our Casita was so much more than we had expected. I could live there forever if I were given the opportunity. Everything was absolutely perfect! To say that we loved staying there would be the ultimate understatement. We can't... More

Everything was in good working order. Hot showers with good water pressure. Comfortable beds with fluffy pillows. Excellent kitchenette for cooking small... More

Thank you Paolo, Vittoria and little Nina! My husband and I stayed here for a few days after vacating Pachamama in a hurry - we went from dirty to meticulously clean - so nice! As it was slow season we had the property to ourselves and it was so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. A hummingbird had just given birth in... More
