Detailed Reviews
Greenviews staff was friendly and the room was nice and clean. There was an AC unit, which was nice! The reception area is also their restaurant and common area, as it's the only place where WiFi works. You can book tours and get bottled water from reception as well.
The opening times for the bar area seemed a bit inconsistent, but the beach and outdoor seating areas have great views, so you can't go wrong.
The property is located near some great restaurants and even a little shopping area.

We stayed at the Greenviews Hotel in El Nido for 4-nights in mid-March (P2200/$55). We travelled from Puerto Princesa with Daytripper Vans, a new company that has larger vans with more leg room (P800/person; 6 hrs).
The Greenviews is an older hotel (the first in Corong Corong) situated on a long narrow lot running from the busy El Nido road to the waterfront. The back of the property is undeveloped (parking, storage, generator) and buffers road noise. The cottages are in closely packed rows boardered by gardens, with a narrow path providing access to the main building (kitchen, common area with seating, TV, and a book exchange, bar/restaurant/office upstairs) and the beach. There is a palm tree shaded seating area at the front of the resort (bamboo-weave hammocks, driftwood-style chairs and tables, shower) that is separated from the beach by a fence. The hotel is at the center of Corong Corong Beach, which has soft white sand but is very shallow for a long way offshore. Its location is the hotel’s best feature. There are fabulous views of the Bacuit Archipelago, and the sunsets are breath-taking (best seen from the 6 loungers on the beach because the fence partially obstructs the front seating area, as does the thatched roof over the bar).
The cottages are fronted by narrow verandas furnished with rustic chairs and a burl table; ours faced the water and had a beautiful view. Inside, they are moderate in size but feel small and claustrophobic (despite the 5 windows) due to low ceilings, dark plywood panels on the lower walls and rattan thatch panels on the upper walls and ceiling, and limited lighting (half the ceiling bulbs removed, no bedside lights). They are furnished with a double bed, side table, large built-in clothes cabinets and a long, narrow open cabinet for storage; no refrigerators or safes, and no complementary water or glasses (unlike almost all other Philippines hotels). The bathrooms have large showers, but the water pressure is very low. Our cottage had a tired and dated feel, with worn hardwood floorboards, cheap plywood panels and scuffed wood trim and doors.
The bar/restaurant on the second floor of the main building is nicely furnished with the varnished driftwood and burl furniture that is a trademark of the Greenviews. It also serves as the office, and has a board where you sign up for tours the next day. The tours are a good deal – great lunches, and the same price as in town (A: P700; C: P900) but the convenience of leaving from the hotel. Free WiFi is available, but only from late afternoon when there is electricity. Breakfasts are expensive at P200-275, with juice, coffee or water costing extra. Dinners also seem expensive (P250-400); however, they are actually 3-course meals with a soup, main course with salad, and dessert, and are very well prepared. They advertise live entertainment with dinner on Fridays, and seem to attract a large local crowd on Sundays. I understand the attraction of outside revenues; however, they really should warn their paying guests because, if you don’t have reservations, you don’t get in.
There are no restaurants or bars nearby except at a few other hotels. We went into El Nido a couple of times for drinks and appetizers (with the large tour lunches, that’s all you really need) and to enjoy the crowded beach scene. There are plenty of tricycles; if you bargain, expect to pay P10/person into town and P15/person for the later evening return. There are no ATMs, but the Palawan Pawn shop near the Art Cafe advertises a currency exchange. There is a small store across the street from the hotel for water, rum, juices and snacks.
The staff (except the manager, her assistant and the boatmen) at the Greenviews are aggravatingly ineffectual. The simplest request has to be repeated several times before they get it right – if they do at all – and empty bottles and glasses are left in the restaurant and front area for hours.
I found it difficult to provide an overall rating for the hotel. Despite its deficiencies, it does grow on you and it is probably not a bad pick for Corong Corong. The bottom line, though, is that at the price charged, I expect greater value than what they provide.

Booked the sea front cottage for 4 nights (worth the small extra cost).
Booked 3 tours A, B & C by noting on board at the bar the night before.
Free breakfast due to booking tours.
Great sunsets, air conditioning & 24 hour power ( no tv though & free wi-fi a bit hit & miss).
$50 pesos trike fare to town (recommend Art Cafe for food, drinks & music), also recommend a walk along main town beach in front of resorts, restaurants & bars). Not much else to do in town.
Would recommend tours A & C only, I would skip tour B and hire a trike & driver for the day and travel to Nacapan Beach.
Travelled by Eluen Joy van from Puerto Princesa, cheap but an uncomfortable 6 hour drive as they pack as many people in as possible, ask to be dropped off at Greenviews Resort as it's on the way.
Resort provided free van transfer to Eulen Joy bus terminal for return trip.
El Nido islands are stunningly beautiful and resort staff friendly.

Staff not professional but kind, wifi average. For almost 50 usd, you expect clean room, no spots, dust, ants, ... forget the comfy bed as well, it is awful. Fortunately, good location and nice boat trip.
Hope the management will really improve.

Great location, surrounded by lovely gardens and an excellent view. It's a little way out of town but quite accessible by tricycle. Service was very disappointing. It was clean, but basic only offering cold water until the evening. Attention was paid to making the bed look pretty rather than practicality. You should not have to make the bed each day, ask for your blanket to be returned after laundering or for toilet paper when you first arrive. I would probably look for something different next time.

I wasn't happy with the level of service, before we got there my parents were told of the price of 1,500 pesos a night, by the time we arrived at the resort the owner decided at that point to up the price to 2,000 pesos a night, without warning or a phonecall and he then told us that the room we booked he gave it to someone else and he would give us a room, with no air-con or a fan and that we had to pay extra if wanted an electric fan in our room along with an extra bed, we were truly disappointed, that we travelled far and was hoping a nice place to stay after a long journey, the owner then made what seemed like a joke to him but came out as an insult!

I stayed with a friend. For starters, the room was super dirty, the floor looked like it had never been cleaned.
Staff tried to charge more for EVERYTHING constantly. We were made to pay 60% of the price of a boat tour we didn't take because of a super dangerous thunderstorm because it was the cancell fee ???
Also they will charge 200PHP more for every tour or transport and won't say until the last minute.
We made friends with other guests and all of them were as upset as we were.

Yesterday evening, my girlfriend and I have been to the restaurant of this resort (we are not staying in the resort anyway) and we have been totally food poisoned.
For the dinner, they gave us an appetizer (egg soup or something like that) for free. We thank "well that's nice". Big mistake.
During the night, around 4am, I woke up to vomit. That was the first time of my life. I have been to bed again and slept until the morning. My girlfriend slept well.
But in the morning it started: diarrhea, vomit, painful stomach... Since this morning we are vomiting and going to the toilets every single 10 minutes. That's horrible! Now it is 7:30pm and I start to feel better. My girlfriend is still vomiting etc...
Well, the service was nice, the food tasted nice, but the food is not fresh at all.
The lodge seems nice, but NEVER EVER GO in the restaurant.

The resort is out of town and doesn't have an inviting swimming beach, but well positioned between El Nido and Las Cabanas - both are musts to be visited during your stay here. You will need to pay for transport every day to access these places but its only 50 - 100 pesos.
I was disappointed with the elder woman who seemed to manage the resort - she refused to provide towels when doing tours that were not operated by the resort, never smiled, and was generally a miserable presence at the resort reception when asking for assistance. The younger staff were more pleasant but I know they 'took the piss' out of several of the guests in their own language (sometimes justified!). Tours seemingly only operated from the resort when multiple people booked with them so I booked the tours in El Nido town.
Lack of hot showers and electricity from 6am and throughout the day and being woken by roosters at sunrise is the main inconvenience here, but also part of the charm of roughing it in El Nido. The 'home cooked' food, the grounds, the sunsets and the hammocks are a highlight. The wi-fi was frustrating and inconsistent.
I think the resort is over priced by Philippine standards for what it is - very basic - however I would recommend it and do not regret my choice but if I returned to El Nido I would stay elsewhere to experience something else - probably the resort at Las Cabanas beach.

Lovely oasis of calm, relaxation, peace, home from home in Palawan. There is a sense of space, quiet, its really a special place. I can't imagine anywhere else in El Nido is comparable. there are a few dogs there, all totally chilled out, not aggressive, they look to see its a tourist & then go back to doing whatever they are doing. There's an otter that has adopted & been adopted by a dog (that had lost pups) so its sucking on the milk, the other dogs/puppies treat it like a puppy. There's a couple of piglets, a bearcat (a palawan native). Its all really cool, great vibe, animals pick up on that hence they are so chilled. Bungalows/cottages I think I are preferable to room, especially those with aircon. Cooler, and aircon works well. Beach on the doorstep with amazing sunsets.
