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 #### Nathan 26 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice little cottage away from all the city noise. Right on beach. Wake up in the mornings and simply take a few steps to the water ##### Nathan Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liam 6 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A beautiful location on Calaan Beach, which is just an easy 5-10 minute walk into town. 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 ### 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 #### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mia 24 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This property is such a gem! I love how secluded and peaceful it is, away from all the noise of the town. It's also beachfront, so you can go for a dip whenever you want on the clear waters of Palawan. Since it's secluded, it's a little far from the town proper, probably a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute tricycle ride which they offer for free, just message them whenever you need a ride. Our room was at the 3rd floor which was so spacious, we had our own balcony with a hammock and the best view of the waters. Staff is amazing too, July at the front desk helped us out with everything, from van transfers to booking a massage, she was so nice and truly the highlight of our stay here. The other staff at the restaurant (breakfast and evening), and the kuyas who drove us with the tricycle are all so nice and warm andbalways very accommodating. It's free breakfast too! Only wish is for them to have more breakfast options but otherwise everything was so great. I'll stay here again in a heartbeat when I go back. ##### Mia Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Aly 12 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful views and friendly staff Such a great property. Staff was great, Anna was very helpful. Our room (15) was on the 3rd floor, all stairs, but the view on the balcony was beautiful. Bed was nice and firm, AC unit and ceiling fan was really good, but only thing that I had a problem with was that the shower drain was a little clogged and no one ever came up to unclog it (but that did not change my view of how nice the property was). Eating area was nice and open, but if I were to really be picky it would be all the cars that roam around the area cause I’m allergic. Another downside to the property is how to get there from the main road. A little rough but manageable. But overall I would come back and suggest it to anyone. ##### Aly Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marco 19 Feb 2024 Got “upgraded” because they doubled booked with someome else so last 2 days were booked at a nearby hotel. It was a massive downgrade, checked prices, much lower than what we spent per night, room was 2/3rds smaller, smelled like mildew, dirty, air conditioner louder than a full washing machine full of trash. Dusty as all hell, no shampoo or soap, overall trash experience. This was booked 3 months prior to leaving and then we were notified to move less than 2 weeks prior to arriving. No reimbursement, and no notice of actual new hotel until literally the day of transfer, they couldnt provide the name because they probably didnt want us to see the massive downgrade to their sister company. Terrible experience, regardless if the first hotel room wasnt half bad. Terrible managing of our stay, no thanks ##### Marco Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Julien 20 Dec 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A nightmare What a disaster…the internet sometimes works sometimes don’t. The breakfast is really low quality, the third night my new towel was smelling fish, I have no clue what they did with it before but I couldn’t even touch it. The glass in the bathroom for your toothbrush was disgusting with yellow moisture marks at the bottom, other (funny thing) one of the two glasses in the bedroom had lipstick mark on it … should I ask that they closed the whole restaurant/internet section for a whole day so that the owner could have a private Christmas party…what you need to know also is that you are 15 minutes walk from the town, after 10 pm you’ll have to walk in the dark, in the mud and even have water up to your knees to cross the sea( yes you read this write: given the high tide at night this is the only path to come back at night from the town)…. ##### Julien Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ## 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)
