From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and met every expectation. The staff made sure we had "to go" breakfast on a morning that we were leaving for a private boat tour, so kind. The dinning area is incredible; we could've just sat there for hours as the view was perfect! Right on the water; so beautiful. Food was great. We walked to and from town, for us no big deal only a short walk to everything. The grounds are as clean as they could be and so beautiful with the flowers, trees, rock walkway, and little sitting areas. Our "cabin" was perfect, air conditioning worked very well, clean, and just what we needed. We would recommend this place to everyone and if ever in the area again would stay here. Thanks for such an amazing stay!!! ##### Stacey ### 8/10 Good #### michael 22 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property has new owners There is still a few issues they are working through however based on my experience here this will be a fabulous place to stay for my future visits ##### michael Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very relaxing place, clean and good staff.

The cottage I stayed in was basic with just a ceiling fan, which is fine for me, with a very tropical jungle feel to the rooms. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept immaculate. The breakfast included was simple, but delicious and the view from the restaurant/bar everyone morning is memorable. Really enjoyed staying here and not in town centre. Would return on my next visit to el nido. ##### Liam Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 6 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I booked room one, a family room, as it was the last room available at the time. I didn’t need the additional space but it was worth the additional cost for the view. There was seating and two sun beds on the deck overlooking the bay. Unrestricted water views. The hotel isn’t new, but gets five stars for the view and the excellent food. ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kimberly 18 Oct 2024 Views wonderful. Noise around area and within property disappointing. I was awoken quite a bit by staff, construction workers, loud guests. Staff gave misinformation and was not prepared for transport when said would. ##### Kimberly Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeff 5 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Monkey. The staff was great. The breakfast in the morning was good and filling with strong brewed coffee served by a nice girl named Vanz. There was another server, but I missed her name. The wonderful July at the desk arranged our tour and rides to the airport. Pads the tuk tuk driver was great, also helped carry our luggage to the second floor room with a great view. It’s not a high end resort, but very comfortable with a short ride or 15 minute walk into town. Beach was good for shelling. Not great for swimming. Best beach for swimming is the Corong Corong side or El Nido town. ##### jeff Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pieter 3 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice place when staying in El Nido Very nice accomodation. Amazing food in the restaurant by a French chef. Well recommended. Just some troubles with the water pump during our stay, meaning there was no water for a few hours, but that’s part of the things that happen when travelling in a country like the Philippines and can’t really be helped. They are a little bit away from El Nido town, but provide a free tricycle to get to town and back, so that’s really not an issue. ##### Pieter Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carmelina 5 Jan 2023 Disliked: Amenities Wifi wasn’t working for the first 4 days we were there, was rather inconvenient ##### Carmelina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Savannah 8 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Some of the reviews were very dramatic, and frankly not a reflection of the experience I had at Golden Monkey. I loved the rooms, decor, bar (albeit intermittently attended), hammock and quick access to the beach. I would recommend taking a separate tricycles if you have anymore than two people and bags, otherwise your third will have to jump off during the narrow streets to the hotel! Also loved the cats Frida and Melon, their very own in house Golden Monkey! ##### Savannah Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 10 Jan 2024 Bathroom was very old, needs a remodel, towels were old and floor matt was a rag ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely beautiful property with awesome place to sit right in front of the water. Best view. We arrived very late, the property communicated with us quite well and arranged our pickup as it’s not accessible by car. They send a very cool little tricycle that drove us along the beach and down a narrow pathway to the property. Was fun and made it even more of an experience. Comfy bed and basic but nice room. Awoke to the stunning view and a nice free breakfast :) would stay again for sure ##### Alexander Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We are very happy with our stay, the view was unbelievable! win win! Free breakfast was also a plus, basic Filipino Breakfast and they do serve European Breakfast. Walking distance to the town square, and we walk along the beach to get to the town square. However, the sign on the street is so small that the tricycle driver have to ask me several times the name of the hotel which increases my suspicion if there is such a hotel or not. :) The road going to this hotel is so narrow that no car can fit, but only tricycle or motorcycle. ##### Cathy Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oceanica Resort Panglao](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panglao-Hotels-Oceanica-Resort-Panglao.h7811250.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Shangri-La-Mactan.h190534.Hotel-Information) > > [The Funny Lion El Nido](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-The-Funny-Lion-El-Nido.h88935484.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lawn Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horley-Hotels-The-Lawn-Guest-House.h1194538.Hotel-Information) > > [The New Globe Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malton-Hotels-The-New-Globe-Inn.h6174798.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagen Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Lagen-Island-Resort.h1231565.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakawon Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cadiz-City-Hotels-Lakawon-Island-Resort.h48718784.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrazas del Duque 2, terrace,sea view, only 300m to the beach, heated pool,wifi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-Terrazas-Del-Duque-2.h27611533.Hotel-Information) > > [SanSal Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-SanSal-Boutique-Hotel.h49200969.Hotel-Information) > > [Aureo La Union](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Fernando-Hotels-Aureo-La-Union.h16099636.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Europe-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d6022967-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Mactan-Island-Cebu.h1192069.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Saalbach-Hinterglemm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Apartments.d180981-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Charmillion Club Aqua Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Charmillion-Club-Aqua-Park.h7340948.Hotel-Information) > > [BQ Delfín Azul Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcudia-Hotels-BQ-Delfin-Azul-Hotel.h1314780.Hotel-Information) > > [Flory's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liloan-Hotels-Florys-Inn.h15435100.Hotel-Information) > > [Campuestohan Highland Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talisay-Hotels-Campuestohan-Highland-Resort.h35238602.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Hatfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatfield-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d7746--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Savoy Hotel Mactan Cebu near Newtown Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Savoy-Hotel-Mactan-Newtown.h41903828.Hotel-Information) > > [Siargao Island Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/General-Luna-Hotels-Siargao-Island-Villas.h19384669.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in South Wales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Wales-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6054274-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Johannesburg (JNB) to Mpumalanga (SZK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jnb/szk/johannesburg-to-skukuza) > > [Flights from Phoenix (PHX) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/phx/man/phoenix-to-manchester) > > [Aegean Athens (ATH) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/aegean-from-eleftherios-venizelos-to-heathrow/a3/ath/lhr) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Enugu (ENU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/enu/london-to-enugu) ### Cars > [Car hire in Weybridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Weybridge.d5469.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in St Ives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-St-Ives.d182650.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Córdoba Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cordoba.d6046810.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit County Cork](https://www.expedia.co.uk/County-Cork.dx603083)
