The staff here is warm and welcoming. The property is incredible with fantastic snorkeling right out the back. The air conditioning was strong and the location was great. I would absolutely stay here again, it is a great value for the price!

Mixed feelings. Could get better for the price.
For this one I have mixed feelings. 1. There is no free bottled water. You get 1 free bottled only when you arrive. And you need to ask for it. 2. Breakfast is very poor. I recommend eating somewhere else. 3. No air conditioner. Only fan. So its hot and noisy when you sleep. If you get a room facing sea side, its even noisier from the ocean waves. 4. Check your room for the small bugs that can bite your skin. Ask for staff to spray the room if you found some. 5. Upper small rooms have only shared WC with shower. That was not written when we were booking the room. 6. I cant complain about staff. They do what you ask. But in the same time it feels that they are tired of tourists already. 7. Only good thing is location. You will find everything from here, restaurants, Atm, diving centers. 15 meters in the ocean you will find a lot of sardines! 8. More about the staff. We came from Cebu city with taxi. The moment we arrived was very bussy and hecktic and my girlfriend left her phone in taxi. The car left and we tried to call the phone but taxi driver shut it off. He wanted to steal it! So the staff was very helpfull in this situation. They found a guy who went for a pursuit of this taxi and cut it off. The guy took the phone from taxi driver and returned to us, but we had to wait long time until he came back with the phone. We payed 200php to the guy. Anyway, we have the phone and are very gratefull for this... hope this review will be helpfull. :)

This should be the best accommodation along Panagsama Beach. It has its own sand beach right in front of the lodge, which I think is man made. The other hotels do not have sandy beach. The room is simple and clean. I enjoyed the American breakfast with a beautiful sea view. Highly recommended.

Great small hotel
First time in this hotel and very pleased with it. Room was small but very clean with good bathroom. Staff we excellent, helping with parking, luggage, heating our baby's food, let me take my mountain bike inside....great breakfast included in the room rate, cold aircon and ceiling fan...lovely view out to sea from the veranda ( where you have breakfast ), saw a turtle less than 50 metres from the hotel when snorkeling, super location for walking out to lunch/dinner

Great place to stay
Overall, an excellent place to stay. The only issue we had was that the room was very hot even with the fan on, but ours was the only window without any tree coverage so this is not surprising. Also, if you plan to go snorkelling make sure you get a wetsuit as there are small jellyfish that aren’t super painful, but do take away from the experience. Would definitely stay again, the lodge was great, staff were friendly and helpful, very clean and close to everything!

Great location and hotel
We were lucky enough to have an ocean-view room!! Simply mesmerizing! Location is great right on Corong-Corong beach where it is a bit more quiet and less chaotic than the city (literally 5 mins away). Service at the reception is very welcoming and great, at the resto/bar not so much. Breakfast is great and coffee/tea is always available 24/7. Room is clean :) Internet is barely available not only at the hotel itself but anywhere in El Nido... please make sure to do book or use the internet for everything thing you may need, before arriving in El Nido. Even though hotels and restos claim to have Wifi, it does not work! Even with a sim card, people had almost no signal! Only downside of El Nido and Palawan itself

Dear Sofia! Greetings from Sumisid Lodge, Moalboal! We think this is the wrong review for the wrong hotel because we are not located in El Nido but in Moalboal, Cebu. But hopefully we can welcome you one day in our cozy lodge. Sunny regards from Moalboal, Cebu! The Sumisid Lodge Management

Just Ok - You get what you pay for
Location = Very good. Nice beach directly behind hotel with Sardine ball a short swim out. Many eating choices within a stones throw away. Accomodation = Average. The room was very basic and small but the price probably fits the accommodation as you get what you pay for. The A/C was old and quite loud. But we didn't complain. Others might care, but we really did not. Service = Poor - There are two older Filipina ladies that I believe were the bosses/managers. ONe stayed behind the front desk, the other was in the lobby from time to time. They weer unaccommodating, borderline rude, never smile, never say hello, and respond with 1 word answers. Surprised they are in the industry as their personalities don't fit what is needed from a customer service perspective. The rest of the staff serving breakfast was VERY GOOD. They were nice and sweet.

Dear Peter, Greetings from Sumisid Lodge, Moalboal! Thank you for your review about our accommodation. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the short swim to the Sardines on our house reef! They are amazing right? I will share your comment about the poor service from the staff in Sumisid with my team. That is of course not the right way to respond to guests. We will have a look into this. Once again, thank you for your review! And hopefully we can welcome you again one day in the near future.

More for backpackers than a regular tourist
It's an okay place to stay for a night or two if think it's okay only with a bed and fan. sharing shower and toilets with all other guests isn't exactly up my alley but it worked out just fine.

바로 앞에 작지만 모래사장이 있어 휴식하기엔 정말 최고 입니다. 아침 일찍 혹은 늦은 시간 썬베드에 누워 파도 소리 듣고 있는게 젤 좋았습니다. 하지막 딱하나 에어콘 없는 방은 낮에 넘 더워요. 새벽 1시는 되야 겨우 잠듬 ㅠㅠ

真正面に沈むサンセット
ログハウス風で石のステップなど造りこみが素敵です。調度品も厳選されいい雰囲気です。今回初めて共同シャワーの部屋に泊まりましたが、設備も新しく清潔に手入れされています。食事もとれるテラス前は、小さいですが砂浜のビーチがあって甲羅干しや子供の水遊びでにぎわっています。ほんの50ｍも進めばそこではイワシの大群が戯れています。そのテラスからはまっすぐ目の前の海に赤く染まった夕日が沈んでいきます。たくさん泊められたバンカーボートが影のように暗く見えてすばらしい景色です。一方、夕方になれば道路に出るとバーベキュー店、リーズナブルなプチレストラン、ミニバーなど飲食にも事欠かないサイトでチャンスがあればまた滞在したいところです。

Super placering men dårlig service!
Super god lokal placering, men servicen var ikke at prale med! Man følte sig ikke særlig velkommen og havde man spørgsmål angående sit ophold, fik man lidt nedladende svar igen. Super ærgerligt, da selve "hotellet" ligger lige ved stranden, med den smukkeste udsigt.

Herttainen pieni guesthouse
Herttainen pieni guesthouse. Kodikas tunnelma. Mukava hlö.kunta. Siisti. Yhteiset tilat tosi kivat. Ahdas huone, koska sänkyjä laitettu huoneeseen kolme. Huone kuuma päivisin, mutta yöksi viilenee riittävästi. Siisti yhteinen kylppäri. Aamiainen ok. Lodge rannalla, jossa sardiinit ovat. Näkyipä yksi merikilpikonnakin. Vieressä sukelluskauppa, josta saa snorklit näppärästi vuokrattua. Hinta-laatu -suhde hyvä. Suosittelen ehdottomasti.

Viele Bars und Restaurants in der Nähe, für jeden Geldbeutel etwas dabei! Tauchbasis direkt am Hotel angeschlossen, auch für Schnorchler. Das wunderschöne Riff erstreckt sich über den gesamten Küstenabschnitt und beginnt 20 m hinter dem Strand. Der Strand ist vor dem Hotel extra aufgeschüttet worden. Am Wochenende wird er auch von Einheimischen genutzt.

ビーチフロントのホテル
デラックスルームに6泊しました。 ダブルベッドとシングルベッドの部屋 です。 シャワーの水圧や水はけもまずまずで フィリピンの宿によくありがちな、 シャワーカーテンが短くてバスルーム の床がビショビショに…なんてことも ありませんでした。 マットレスの硬さがちょうど良く、 寝心地が良かったです。 コーヒー・紅茶・ポット・ミニバー・ セイフティーボックス・ティッシュ ペーパー付き。 モアルボアルの ホテルには他にも泊まっていますが、 部屋にティッシュが置いてあったのは 初めてです。 ホテルのHPには ドライヤー付きと書いてありましたが ありませんでした。 朝食は海を眺めながらのんびりと。 モアルはビーチが少ないので、ビーチ フロントのホテルはポイント高いと 思います。夜はキレイな夕日や星空も 見ました。 マイナス1点はバルコニーがない ことと、部屋のドアがうまく開けられ なかったこと。 カギを差し込んで回すのにコツが あるようで、いつもスタッフに 開けてもらっていました。 最後までコツを掴めませんでした。 隣のダイビングショップ「シークエスト」 の経営なので、シークエストを利用する と便利だと思います。私たちは他の ショップを利用していたので、スタッフ みんなに「次はシークエストでね」と 言われました。 部屋は少々狭めですが、ドアの件以外 は特に不都合もなく、今までモアル ボアルで泊まったホテルの中では一番 快適だったかもしれません。
