Best accomodation in El Nido!

My first time in El Nido and I don't think I would've wanted to stay anywhere else. This is the only place along the beachfront that has their own outdoor beach area with lots of trees. It couldn't be any more central and the police station is directly outside the gate. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They organized scooters for us to rent for the day for only 500 pesos. All in all I would choose to stay here again over a fancy hotel any day.

In all the action!

The MaryGold Inn is a quaint and small inn with a lovely beachfront view and shady trees with hammocks. The staff are exceptional! They are all so friendly and accommodating. The rooms are small but satisfactory and clean with cooling and ensuite bathrooms. The little breakfast nook is fine and brekkie was ok. This inn is right in the thick of all the action! Shops, restaurants, bars and more just outside the gate. The only thing I wished for was more quiet at night. Which the MaryGold cannot change being next to a karaoke bar. The hotel is self was great!

Rooms with great views of the bay

Perfectly positioned with great views of the bay . Loved the rooms very clean , and I say rooms as we stayed for a week and because of how busy it was we had to book 3 times for 7 days as the likes of booking.com tell you it’s fully booked unless you go down to daily then you can get a room just means moving to another room occasionally. The staff are truly amazing, breakfast delivered to your table outside your room if you like that which we did. Most reviews have mentioned the noise which is beyond the hotels control. It seems absolute madness that the karaoke bars blast the music out so loud, they are literally biting the hand that feeds them. It’s every hotel on the beachfront that suffers. I will definitely return, I loved it there.

Very good!

The hotel is located directly on the beach. Rooms very clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a small garden with loungers and hammocks, which makes the time very pleasant. Very good wifi. The hotel quite expensive, but its location and the view from the room is worth it (I mean room #2 located in the main building).

Fantastic location with an amazing view

This is a very basic clean room, but the location is great. The breakfast was fantastic and delivered to the room. The property is cozy with a great view. There are hammocks to enjoy and small table outside of the room to sit and enjoy the view. All of the staff were friendly.

Had a great stay in this resort

The location is really great because it's in the town center and in front of El Nido beach. Every morning the tourist and tour guides are right outside the beach, collecting passengers for different tourist. All staff are friendly and accomodating. The rooms are cute with their color and decorations. They have a restaurant that serves breakfast. At the entrance of the hotel is a police station, and you can access the different restaurants around the area. Staffs are friendly and accommodating.

Very cute

The rooms where pretty clean and it’s right on the beach although you can’t swim at the beach. The inn is situation in the centre of town so everything is walking distance and the towns not too big. The staff were really friendly and breakfast was included in our rate which you have a choice of food. There is a karaoke bar very close which closed at midnight so if you’re there to party is not an issue and it’s actually really amusing. The only downside was there was a few ants in our room but we did have food in there so I’m sure that’s the reason but I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing location

We booked the Jessica room just at the side of the restaurant and adjacent to the kids play area. What a great choice for looking onto the beach and harbour. Just 20 steps onto the beach and some great places to eat. The other option is 20 steps to the shop side with an abundance of shops bars and restaurants. Reception were very helpful and clear about cleaning, breakfast and tours when we booked in. The room is tastefully decorated and has a feel of being in a dolls house/candy store. We are on a tour of the Philippines and would have loved more time at this resort. The only negative is the hard bed mattress.
