Detailed Reviews
We stayed at the mansion Buena vista from the 13th of January until the 28th. El Nido is like heaven on earth. We had problems finding somewhere to stay that didn't have negative reviews for one reason or another. We then stumbled by chance on to mansion Buenavista. We could not ignore the amazing reviews so decided that was the place. We were not disappointed! The room was so lovely and clean, overlooking town and sea. Air conditioning and wifi spot on also had a fan so you can choose what level of coolness you prefer. Breakfast awesome my girlfriend loved the pancakes I loved the muesli topped with little pieces of all manner of fruits and a cold jug of the most delightful cold yogurt and we both loved the American cooked breakfast. Didn't try any of the others. Staff were lovely as was the security guard. Noud the owner was the icing on the cake, nothing was a problem for him, he organized everything with great ease, I will remember him for the rest of my life with great affection. I would recommend to anyone to stay at this little gem of a hotel with complete confidence. I hope this review helps you. Darren and Lidia.

If you are looking for somewhere conveniently located from downtown El Nido (10 min walk)/El Nido dock (15 mins) but away from the hussle and noise of the downtown area, with lovely rooms, a good breakfast, friendly staff and a convivial owner, look no further. Located about a 20mins drive away from El Nido airport, it has everything you could ask for a relaxing holiday. Noud, the owner, is a dutch national with a Filipino wife who has found his nirvana in El Nido and is intent on ensuring your stay is a memorable one. If you are thinking of staying at Mansion Buenvista, I would encourage you to book. You won't regret it!

The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Everything was very clean. Comfy bed and awesome view of the town and cliffs from the balcony. The breakfasts are big and yummy with fresh bread from the bakery that isn't the sweet bread you get everywhere else. The owner Noud was extremely helpful with tour bookings, suggesting places to visit and eat at and organising transport to Peurto Princesa for us. Would definitely stay here if visiting El Nido again.

We are sitting on the terrace of the hotel enjoying a tasty breakfast.
We highly recommend this oasis and hope that many more guests will enjoy the warmth of the hosts.
The rooms are beautifully decorated and the view from the balcony is outstanding. The hotel is located in a quiet area and yet you can walk to the center. Come here when you are in El Nido!

We were so pleased we booked rooms at Mansion Buenavista. The rooms themselves are clean and spacious. The breakfasts are tasty and generous (my sons would highly recommend the pancakes, my husband the dried fish and garlic rice!) and there was hot water available all day for coffee or hot chocolate and a water cooler to refill water bottles. The hosts - Noud and Jennifer - were great and really helpful. They booked us our boat trips, suggested places to visit, organised us trike drivers for days out and lent us beach towels. When we got stuck due to all boat trips off the island being cancelled, they let us stay on and helped us book flights so we could carry on with our trip. We couldn't have asked for me - thanks both so much.

We loved Mansion Buenavista, charming place with a nice view. Walking distance to El Nido town. Confortable and clean rooms. Delicious breakfast. Great service, kind and professional staff. The manager Mr Noud is here to help on any request and gives special attention to his guests. I recommend this place and would definitely come back.

This review is long overdue. We stayed here for about 5 days after taking a boat from Coron.
Location: close enough to walk easily to the heart of the city and beach, without being stuck in the hustle and bustle of the tourists. It’s just 2 streets, maybe a 4-5 min walk into the town and about 10-15 to hit the beach.
Rooms: spacious, exactly what you see on the photos. The view from the 2nd floor middle room was awesome. I know a few reviews mentioned the 3rd so we considered asking to see if it was open, but our view was perfect. The balcony was great too, spend the mornings there packing for the day.
Staff: Super friendly staff and owners. This was actually probably our most memorable part because the owners were always available and happy to chat with us about our plans, tours, or get/find us things to do. They have someone on staff at the gate all day/night which was cool. The owners even saw us walking to the mountain area to do the climb and picked us up on their scooters and dropped us off.
Thanks for the great time, recommendations and making everything feel easy and accessible.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Mansion Buenavista. This actually wasn't where we were originally supposed to stay, but we had such a negative experience at our first hotel that we started looking for another place to stay. We stopped by Mansion Buenavista to inquire about openings based on all the positive reviews online, and Nourd and his team were so accommodating and helpful from our first interaction. They made moving to their hotel very easy. Our stay at their hotel was wonderful. The room was cleaned regularly, and the overall service was excellent. Our flight got canceled because of the weather, and we ended up extending our stay. Nourd and his team were so helpful in making sure we could get back to the hotel and helping set up transportation back to the airport. Very welcoming and relaxing stay. The food is delicious. Breakfast is included in the stay, and you have multiple menu options to choose from. We also ordered dinner one evening, and everything was delicious. We highly recommend Mansion Buenavista. You won't regret it!

Noud and his staff welcomed us to their home, not his hotel.
Location is great in terms that you are on a main road but away from the middle of el Nido town where it is quite load through all hours of the night. But it’s still accessible by a 10min walk. There are no sidewalks and a moderate hill so not the best for people who aren’t the most physically able. But, a quick tricycle ride can get you there easily.
The view is as good as the name states. The balcony is private and has places to hang your swimsuit/towels.
Breakfast was delicious every morning and included with the price. There’s even a bar with cheap, quality drinks to start your night off.
Noud was the best! He arranged airport shuttle service, scooter rental right outside, and even helped us transfer to our next resort. We wished we stayed because our next resort was Las Cabanas beach resort which was AWFUL! Don’t stay there! Read the reviews!
But I would absolutely stay at Mansion Buenavista again. It was honestly the best lodging experience I have ever had

The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The place is quiet and away from the noisy downtown flurry of activities during night time. It is very clean and reasonably priced. Breakfast was very good. Thanks for your hospitality. We rented a motorbike on the second day. That was a good idea for us. We had a lot of sun and view was very nice!

March 23 and 24 we have a vacancy. Couple's room at P 5500 per night, with breakfast. Just book it through Hotels or Expedia. There is a Member's discount of 10%
Regards, Noud
We allow early check in, if the room is vacant. Pick up from El Nido airport or Puerto Princesa? Anyway, we can arrange from both, at a cost
Regards, Noud and family
Hi Lauren,
Sorry but we are fully booked already those days :-(
Regards, Noud
