Top Hotels Near Matinloc Shrine in El Nido from NZ$37

"I had mixed feelings about my stay at Double Gem Beach Resort. The property itself is beautiful, with lush greenery and a peaceful, natural atmosphere that I really appreciated. The staff were also very kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. I did appreciate that breakfast was included, which is always a nice touch. The drinks were actually very good, including the alcoholic options. The Filipino food was also enjoyable and felt authentic. However, if you ordered anything outside of local cuisine, it didn’t quite hit the mark and felt more like a rough interpretation rather than something well-executed. That said, there were a few things that made my stay less comfortable. Not being able to flush toilet paper and having to dispose of it separately was difficult to adjust to and affected my overall sense of cleanliness. I understand this may be standard in some areas, but it was still uncomfortable for me personally. Additionally, there was no Wi-Fi in the rooms and cellular service was very limited, which made it difficult to stay connected when needed. Overall, while I can appreciate the natural charm of the property and the friendliness of the staff, the lack of certain comforts made it hard for me to fully enjoy my stay. This may be a better fit for travelers looking for a more rustic, unplugged experience."

"Wonderful stay in paradise"

"Great hotel, great breakfast, beautiful view and an easy walk to town. Definitely get the pork sinigang for dinner."

"The Cadlao Resort is beautiful with breathtaking views of the sea and nearby mountainous islands and very helpful staff with beautiful smiles. The restaurant was lovely with wonderful fresh food and our room was very clean. We would definitely recommend this."

"Breakfast limited variety. Every time we ate food barely there. We usually eat quickly & did not enjoy breakfast. "

"I had an amazing stay at the El Nido Reef Strand Resort — truly a 10/10 experience. The view alone is breathtaking. Waking up and enjoying meals while overlooking the beach and nearby islands was unforgettable. The property feels very private and peaceful, which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Getting there can be a bit of a challenge since the road is quite bumpy, but once you arrive, it’s absolutely worth it. The hotel also makes things easy by offering a convenient shuttle service to town and the airport. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The German owner may seem a bit reserved at first, but once you start a conversation, he’s genuinely warm and accommodating. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway with stunning views, this place is a gem."
