Welcome to Buko Beach Resort, El Nido's most unique beachfront haven. Located between the lush, jungle-clad mountains and the beautiful beachfront of Corong Corong, our Grand Villa (4 bedrooms for groups and families) and six distinct cottages (for 2 adults 16+ years) have been designed and built with native materials, local Filipino craftsmanship and an attention to unique design that is the hallmark of the 'Buko' experience. In the Philippines, the word 'Buko' means coconut, and the coconut is commonly called "the tree of life" - due to its diverse number of uses ranging from food to building materials. We appreciate the land on which our resort was built upon, and strive to maintain the integrity of our operation with an environmentally-conscious vision to the best of our ability. We look forward to hosting you on your next vacation to our tropical paradise in El Nido.

We headed out to El Nido for our 4th Wedding Anniversary and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Our goal was to have a nice experience for us and we didn't want a "party vibe" at all. Buko Beach provided that with the assistance of their really wonderful staff. From the moment I booked it, they got in touch with me and assisted me all the way. They were helpful all the time and their staff is smart and therefore were a joy to talk to. The food in the bar was good too and the servings were usually bigger than I expected. Try out the fried spring rolls! The rooms looked far better than in the pictures and taking showers practically outdoors was a treat in itself. But I have to go back to the staff who were most accommodating and even gave us a bottle of wine for our Anniversary. (Sadly, most of our Buko Beach pictures are in one of our phones that died near the end of the trip and I am not sure if we can still get them). The staff moves fast, always active, attentive, assisting, courteous, friendly, intelligent and always seem to be happy. We were sad to go and to be honest, we have been thinking of staying even longer if such an arrangement can be done! It was a beautiful experience and one that we will fondly remember.…

We cannot thank Buko beach resort enough for our stay. It was our honeymoon & the thoughtful card, decorations on the bed & other sweet gestures you made meant so much to us. The staff are simply wonderful, I apologise that we can't remember all your names but Esmeralda on the front desk was so helpful and couldn't have done more for us. Jake was always a pleasure to see and chat to at meal times, and again couldn't have been more helpful if he tried! The staff really make Buko the memorable success that it is. As for the facilities, again perfect! Everything is so clean and well looked after, lovely pool, good food and stunning sunsets can be enjoyed from the pool or bar/restaurant - see the picture attached, NO filter!! The air conditioning in our room worked perfectly at all times and we didn't get bitten once which is a huge statement as we are both prone to mosquito bites. If you use the plug ins and cream provided, you won't get a single bite! It's also worth mentioning safety, there is security 24/7 patrolling the grounds (and lovely men they were too!) which was comforting, even though we saw no trouble the entire time we travelled through the Philippines! Great location too, cheap and quick to get into town and to Vanilla beach. Thank you so very much Buko, I will sing your praises and encourage everyone I meet headed to El Nido to visit Buko beach Resort! xx…

I never thought I would enjoy staying in Corong Corong area; this is a lovely beach front resort with beautiful pool and charming villas. Restaurant serves good food. Staff are uber-friendly and attentive. There are only 6+ villas and during our stay (where there are very few tourists in El Nido), we were the only guests in the resort. A perfect place to chill and great sunset too. Good job to the staff and would love to come back.

Just a bit of background story how we discovered this place. We had an original booking at another resort which was paid in full a few months back. A few days before our flight, we found out through the airline that the hotel we booked didnt have compliance from the Dept of Tourism to operate due to covid restrictions. We almost cancelled the trip but we inquired Buko resort and Esmeralda took care of our group, no questions asked! We booked the hotel without any expectations; we just wanted to get away from the city. Our first trip outside Manila after more than 10 months of lockdown. We got to the hotel and it was what we hope it to be! Quaint, quiet, and secluded but has a beach front. The pool is also enough size for lounging. The food is amazing and the rooms are GREAT. And most of all, the staff are very hospitable and attentive to the needs of the guests especially Esmeralda who made things possible! Will definitely go back next month! Note to local travellers: make sure your hotels has a Certificate to Operate before booking. If they have none pr tells you its still in process, find another resort! …
