My wife and I stayed at Charlies while vacationing in El Nido. I was extremely pleased with the hotel. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. The food was excellent, especially the breakfast buffet and the bar made excellent drinks. The hotel is located a few miles from town but has a shuttle bus that frequently runs to town and the beaches. The most impressive characteristic of the hotel is their super friendly and accommodating staff! I can't say I have ever experienced a more hospitable staff! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in El Nido!

We had an amazing time at Charlie’s El Nido - so glad we stayed here after reading such great reviews. Airport pick up was excellent - it was on time and air conditioned. There are no taxis in El Nido (only tuk tuks), so we were very grateful for the free airport pick-up with our luggage. Check-in was prompt and we were showed around our room and given a delicious welcome drink. We stayed in a deluxe room (I was actually grateful for having one not on the ground floor - you have a balcony with a bit more private space, rather than potentially having people being able to swim up right to your room). Air conditioning was fantastic and quiet, and the Wi-Fi worked really well. Bed was super comfy. There are plenty of filtered water machines throughout the hotel (and usually there was a flavoured water which was ice cold in the bar). Tap water is not safe to drink in El Nido, so this was amazing to have ice cold drinking water available all the time. Friends of ours staying in different accommodation became ill from drinking unfiltered water. The breakfast is fantastic - perfect mix of local and more 'Western' options. The omelette bar was great as well. The staff were beyond friendly, attentive, and professional. They were always there to give a helpful hand for whatever request and question. Irah who works in the restaurant and Raster behind reception were so friendly and helpful - many thanks to them both. Charlie's officer a free shuttle at set times to Lio Beach and El Nido town. We used the shuttle to El Nido town a few times (the journey in a tuk tuk is 450 pesos and those tuk tuks struggle a bit up the hills!). We also rented a moped from Charlie's - very reasonable price and the bike was brand new so we felt safe driving even in the rain. We really enjoyed our stay and couldn't recommend Charlie's El Nido enough!…

Charlie’s El Nido Hotel have exceeded our expectations and my family and I are grateful for the fantastic 2-day experience. We want to highlight three main aspects: 1. Exceptional service - The Hotel Manager was accommodating and offered the best possible room for my family in light of our last minute booking request. The staff were beyond friendly, warm, attentive, and professional. They were always there to give a helpful hand for whatever request and question. 2. Convenience of transport - Offering transport options to Lio Beach and the main city proper was a lifesaver. It provided a safe and convenient way for my family to explore the best of El Nido. 3. Relaxing ambience - The entire hotel was truly a home away from home. The shared facilities and dining area were pristine and tidy and contributed to the hotel’s relaxing (and healing) ambience. Overall, we were happy that we stayed at Charlie’s- truly a world-class hotel in the Philippines.…

Absolutely loved staying here. The staff were all so welcoming, friendly and overly helpful (especially at 11pm when our flight was cancelled and we needed at get a ferry!). It’s slightly outside of El Nido town centre (about 5-10mins by car) but Charlie’s offer a free shuttle at certain times throughout the day. They also go to /from Lio beach. Holiday started off great as they include transfers from the local airport. The facilities are clean, modern and they offer free cold filtered water fountains on every floor which is a great extra perk. The pool area and bar is lovely and the gym has air con & new equipment. Only had some bar snacks so can’t comment on the in-house food but what we had was lovely. Charlie’s recommended a local restaurant Kusina ni maya which was amazing. Would stay again and highly recommend.…

As soon as we landed, there was someone waiting for us outside with the Charlie's El Nido sign. He was very engaging and giving us tips on what we can do during our trip. When we got to the resort they welcomed us with open arms and we were given a welcome drink which was very refreshing. We arrived just about lunch time so we were hungry so we headed towards the cafe, and we ordered the crispy lechon belly and the grilled liempo and both orders were terrific!! We stayed in the villa and it was gorgeous!! It had a master bedroom at the ground floor and it has access to the pool. The surprise here, it even has an outside bathroom!! 2 bathrooms in 1 room! Amazing! The villa has 2 floors and they didn't skimp in the design as well as the smell. The room smells sooo good -- fresh! Here are my recos: Breakfast - TAPA! For the win! Meal / Snack - Crispy Lechon Belly, Grilled Liempo, Charlie's Burger, and all meat Pizza Drinks - Happy hour is the best, my drink of choice will always be Mojito super refreshing. …

We had an absolutely amazing experience staying 2 weeks at Charlie's El Nido! The room was spacious, clean, and had with a direct entrance to the pool which was great for cooling off on a hot day. The food at Charlie's restaurant was delicious, there was a great variety to choose from and everything was clearly prepared fresh. I absolutely recommend the meatballs and sliders! The drinks from the bar and the Happy Hour from 3pm-6pm is a great deal - the watermelon & mango daiquiri's were our favorites! The entire staff at Charlie's were professional, attentive, and always willing to help in any circumstance - they are happy to share any knowledge about excursions, massages, restaurants, or what to visit. Charlie's also provides shuttle service multiple times a day to Downtown & Lio Beach, this made travelling around the island a breeze and the tricycles are available anywhere else to get you where you want to go. Absolutely recommend staying at Charlie's for anyone visiting El Nido, we'll definitely be back!…

Mainland El Nido is dotted with hotels of all sorts from high end resorts and run down facilities. It really is the case of you get what you pay for but Charlie’s is more than that, value is getting more than what you paid for. Clean and bright with friendly staff always catering to your needs. Great management team highly professional and impressive background. It doesn’t have the best of everything but you do get more than you’ll ever need. The free transportation to the city allows you to e joy the day and night city life and go back to a more peaceful hotel. Multi level pool, open seating in the dining area where you can hang with family and friends and a welcoming lobby. To be honest, one goes to beautiful islands and beaches to hang out in those areas and then come home to rest and recover from the day’s events. That’s Charlie’s for you in El Nido.…
