Hi my name is Myra, from the beautiful island of PALAWAN. I may consider myself as nature lover that i've plan to build this beautiful resort called FLORESITA'S out of native materials. I have good friend who manage the resort and other staff that are very approachable and attentive to the guests needs. I am not always around the resort for i do work on a construction, but i always find time to visit as often as i could. And when i 'm there, I personally entertain our guests or have a cup of coffee while talking with them. I want everyone to come as GUEST/S and feel comfortable in staying with us and leave us as we are FAMILY.

We visited this place in September. OK, it was off-season and no guests so perhaps it is the wrong time to expect good service. The beers were not cold and we had to ask for ice. If it was run properly this place would be a much better place to relax. I should point out that this place is not actually in El Nido town but in a village called Sibaltan, 25 kms from El Nido on the east coast.

This place is what I wished I had picked first but luckily we found this place on our second night. It is very well run and is a quite and safe place to enjoy paradise. Next door is a scuba/snorkel dive center that offers many options. Massages and kayaks are available on site. We really enjoyed our stay and the staff made us feel like family. I will definitely return to this place.

The best place for a family vacation. Friendly atmosphere, the owners want the client to feel great in every way. We felt like in a private luxury resort. Clean rooms, equipped with solid mosquito nets. Lots of coconuts, coconut water and milk that they made especially for us. A vegan-friendly place. They made great fresh meals without meat especially for us. They organized a beautiful wedding with floral decorations, delicious food, pastor and details. We got married there and we have great memories. We were there in 11 people and we felt safe and comfortable. Resort's located by the beach. Beautiful views from the room. Banana trees, papaya, coconut palms. It's a great place for people who like nature and disconnecting. the best vegan food, we felt safe, great cheerful and contact service everyone speaks english, the organization of a wonderful wedding, nice houses, lots of flowers everywhere !!! beautiful wild resort. I recommend it very much!…

pro: very kind people, we had a great new years party with the divers group. they offered us a big philipian buffet. if you have the right Bungalow its simple but nice, the beds are okay. Nice surrounding with several sunbeds or hammocks. Very quiet during the day. Close to the new diving center at Ursulas Beach Resort. Thx to the dive team(Jhong, Sana, Noelle, Moritz and Mark) for the amazing dive experiences. Close to the barrio/ village. You should try the massage there. Con: You need earplugs during the night (barking dogs, Generator, motors) but Sometimes its quiet you only here the Sea, then its nice. Every morning or sometimes in the day they are parking their cars for hours or leave just the motor running (why????) tjen the hole area smells like downtown Manila.

Our group was picked-up by their van from Puerto Princesa, which is a convenient way to travel the 6-hours long drive. Floresita's is one-hour drive from El Nido town center, the road is paved except for some parts where there are ongoing repairs. There are four resorts around the area, but far from each other. Floresita's offers accommodation in native cottages. I asked to be moved to another room because I find it difficult because the toilet in the cottage we're assigned does not have a "step". There's no night life in the area, intermittent mobile service and no wifi -- this is good for people like me who prefers a quiet place to stay. The rooms offer spartan accommodations -- just the basics but good enough as we tour the islands during the day. There are few rooms with aircon. Floresita's is in front of the beach, with powdery cream-colored sand. It has a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes to choose from and a bar. It also offers other services like- massage, island tours, jet ski, kayaking.…

If you're looking for an Indiana Jones type of adventure, don't stay here. You won't experience that. Looking for action? Think twice or schedule tours and rent the motorcycle. However, if you want to get away from the city, have things a little 'primitive,' try it. You don't even arrive via a typical route. When I checked in they were very forward of what to expect. No daily cleaning (not necessary in my opinion), mosquitoes (but they'll spray bungalow in the evening if you want, plus they have mosquito nets), no electricity (but a generator at night to use lights and fan, and solar power for the main 'building' and will charge your device if needed), breakfast hours, but she might not have mentioned the no hot water aspect. (Yet we all survive as we just grin and bear it.) Living in a huge city I wanted to escape for a few days. This did the trick. Great beach walking; island hopping available; books and some games available; relaxing beach atmosphere; motorbike rental to get around island, and more. They also clean the sea debris from their beach area each morning. Bungalows vary. They can be quite small, but spend your time on the beach, not in your room. Each one has an outdoor seating area as well. Since my birthday fell within the range of my stay (as my passport revealed), they fed me the traditional Filippino meal and sticky rice. They were excellent. Breakfasts were also delicious. You can eat almost any time of day. I don't know if I've ever experienced a friendlier staff. They were helpful, kind, filled my day with birthday wishes, and helped in any way I requested. It's not a luxury resort, but it's a relaxing resort. If you want this type of experience, go for it and stay here. And the views are magnificent!…

Floresita's is one hour from downtown El Nido, on the other coast of the island. The place is great and the beaches around it are amazing. However, there aren't many services around, just two or three restaurants, a small village and not much more. If you are not obsessed about service nor about wifi, it can be a good place to stay. The noise of the generator during the night can be pretty unpleasant, though. I feel that Floresita's could be really amazing if they improved their service a little bit.

Location is great and the island tour was very good. Staff in the hotel is not quite welcome and it feels like they are not willing to help you in any way. Actually there is nothing to do there except the tours - beach is not well for swimming, bar at the hotel and nearby Tapik hotel are closed at approximately 9 pm. You can take kayak (if it is free as there are only 3 of them) and go to a very close small island - just to do something. But THE WORST thing is the electricity generator. It works 6 pm - 6 am and if you live close to it, sleeping becomes a challenge. Be sure to ask in advance to get a room furthest from that thing.

It was a regret that we didnt book our stay here although we were able to taste their sumptuous filipino food in the couple of days. The staff were great very accommodating and the resort got loads of cushioned bed outside to relax in. Highly recommended if you want a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Electricity is available at a limited time only due to the location of area.

We stayed in Floresita's for almost 10 days, during the Christmas holidays and New Year's, and althought the place where it is located is nice, far from everything, quiet and just what we looked for, there were several things that upset us as well as other guests which where spending the holidays there. Summarizing, and beginning on the bright side: +The location, as we said and the facilities, full of places to lie around. +The room was pretty good, clean, nice bed and with a good bathroom. +They invited us to have dinner with them in Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, which was completely free and with traditional food. +The island hopping was great, no one around the places where we stayed, great food and nice crew. + BUT, on the other side: -There was never WIFI on the place, althought you end up paying for it in the final price of the room. The excuses where hilarious, like: "we are far from El Nido" (althought the resort next to our had it all the time) or "the boss didn't pay for the bill", that was our favourite. -Breakfast was a nightmare if you woke up with an appetite, they spent almost an hour to serve it and it was just two dishes of pancakes, something you can make in no time. That you can "understand" when there is 30 people waiting for it, but it happened too when we were the only ones waiting for it... The same happens with other meals, but that is not included, so you can always go to the next resort. -The bills were a mess the day we asked for them, as we wanted to pay through Paypal (next door of course) and they mixed our room with other orders, ending up with a lot of food orders we didn't ask for. The price for the room at the beginning wasn't the same we booked through internet and they tried to charge the private van when they assured us we would have a shared one... -And the vans where one of the other issues. The first day for a late pick up (justified because there was a lot of traffic... ok) and on the last day because the 7-7:30 van to El Nido came at 8:30 with 10 people waiting for it. Some of us took it as we weren't in a hurry, but others just tried other ways. -It doesn't make sense that the generator is working all night if we are all sleeping and then when we wake up just stops, because the toilet we had was almost pitch dark even during the day and going to the bathroom first thing in the morning became a "risk". -On the island hopping, they tried to put 9 people on a boat that we barely fit 7. All this just the same morning we had to do it because someone just thought it was a good idea. Lucky for us, two people just decided not to come and in the end we could fit in the small boat, but they pretended for two of us to just sit on the floor... -They have a serious problem with english, not for complicated things, but for the basics. Some of them can understand you, but when they are not around... well, you better not have an emergency then... -Finally, the mosquito net is completely useless as they enter inside and transform it in the perfect cage for them to hunt, they should do something about it, like smoke them from time to time. So, in the end, it is a nice place, well located and so on, but we really think they should do something on how they treat the clients, as a lot of the people we stayed those days ended up complaining and regretting their choice. Just to put and example, almost no one was having lunch or dinner there, and it wasn't because of the food, it was because of the waiting time and the wifi, that it may seem not that big of a deal, but keeps customers away from your place. They should think about it. Anyway, stay there at your own advice ;)…
