Hotels in the Philippines

Exceptional couple offering you the luxury of a quiet retreat in a beautiful island. Both Virly and Xavi made us feel at home straight away and have been nothing but lovely for the entirety of our stay there. They are running this very homey resort with a great sense of hospitality, always ready to answer our needs and giving advice or just simply having a chat with them because they really are great people all-around. And then you'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the small island village with turquoise water and bird singing and can do a star gazing session while in the swimming pool in the evening. Thumbs up to Virly also for her delicious and homey cooking (we loved the baracuda fish). If you're looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to rest in total simplicity, this place is just made for you.

we loved absolutely everything

I travelled with several family members to Kalanggaman Island and found Bellavista as the closest and nicest place to stay. The front desk manager, Heaven, greeted us and took care of all of our needs during our stay. Mae, the housekeeping manager was also very nice and helpful. The 2 bedroom family suite with full kitchen and living room was excellent as was the king suite.

The place is nice, beautiful and relaxing. And the food is good.

Very nice location, beach front cottages are best choice!

I like the good vibes in the property. The owner/manager of the resort are very good host!

Wonderful! We booked 1 night in this really cool beach bungalow and it was so good that we extended our stay for 3 days (and got a good discount). It was right on the beach and felt like we were on our very own desert island, waking up to the sound of the waves and taking a swim in the fantastically clear warm water before breakfast. We didn’t see any tourists at all on the beach, just some locals taking a walk and kids playing in the water, it was surreal after staying in Boracay with all the crowds and noise! The staff gave us snorkeling stuff for free and David the owner led us out to see the incredible variety of coral, which started just a short distance from the beach and though we saw many varieties of fish, it seems that there were many more before the pandemic, but the locals have decimated the stock as there was no work for them. But the starfish were prolific, we counted 10 different colors including some really bright blue ones, but be careful of the sea urchins, they’re only on the coral, so don’t swim over the coral at low tide. Ely took us for an island tour in this amazing 6 seater off road UTV, it could go anywhere and we took off road tracks to cliff jumps, deserted beaches and caves, this is a must, which you would never find if you hired motorcycles. Now the restaurant on this fantastic balcony (or you can eat at the beach bar). The food my god was soo good, Malou and the other staff were such good cooks, with both local and foreign dishes, don’t miss the yummy spicy spareribs, the stuffed baby squid, the curry, the adobo and of course the seafood; simply delicious! We wanted to stay longer and wished we had come here first and not bothered with Boracay, so sad to leave and will defiantly be back and skip the Boracay stay!

We love everything! ✔️ They clean the room everyday. ✔️ They have solar and generator in case of power interruption. ✔️ They have a water dispenser, hot and cold. ✔️ Walking distance to the beach ✔️ No water interruptions ✔️ Super yummy breakfast ✔️ Great and wide rooms and bathrooms ✔️ Very nice people, and dogs too!

I would say that this is definitely the best hotel in the Philippines. And this hotel is the most satisfying one in my 14 day journey in El Nido. The location of the hotel is great. 2mins drive from the airport to hotel and 1min walk from hotel to Lio beach, which is where I like to go for sunset run. They have hotel transportation to town as well. The hotel room was soooo AMAZING, high ceiling with remote curtains is my favorite thing that really blew my mind in a third-world country especially in an island like El Nido. The room is equipped with a small kitchen with cooking facilities for perfect for my midnight snacks. A kettle, refrigerator, and capsule coffee machine. There are wine glass, artsy plates and coffee cups. The bathroom has separate toilet and shower, by the way it’s also remote controlled TOILET with heated seats. I like all the details they provide in the room and hotel services. I like being close with nature, the hotel is located in the forest, surrounded with big old trees and palm trees..I was lucky to see a Palawan hornbill just passing by right in front of my big french window. Sometimes, I see monkeys and squirrels jumping around playing, and maybe some people wouldn’t like that. But to me, it brings different cozy feelings. The room is really QUIET and it makes me feel so safe. I’m such a light sleeper. But I was able to adjust my jet lag and have quality sleep on all the nights. I’m so appreciative to all the staff in the hotel, they are so welcoming, their suggestions of the travel tips are so great and they made me really felt like home. Thank you Piece Lio. You make my journey the best and gave unforgettable experience in El Nido. Xoxo

This is a gem of a hotel Staff unbelievably friendly and helpful Room and bathroom excellent for the money Food very good. It’s right on the beach in Station 3 which can not, in fairness , be described as quiet but it’s a lot more peaceful than station 2 Lack of a pool not a big deal A great discovery for short breaks if you live in The Philippines I will 100% be back

Beautiful and comfortable rooms at a very reasonable price! I don't think there's anything like this on the island 😊 And the owners are very cute and helpful and keep a very warm environment in the place!
