Floresita's Beach Resort — Hotel in El Nido

If you're looking for an Indiana Jones type of adventure, don't stay here. You won't experience that. Looking for action? Think twice or schedule tours and rent the motorcycle. However, if you want to get away from the city, have things a little 'primitive,' try it. You don't even arrive via a typical route.||||When I checked in they were very forward of what to expect. No daily cleaning (not necessary in my opinion), mosquitoes (but they'll spray bungalow in the evening if you want, plus they have mosquito nets), no electricity (but a generator at night to use lights and fan, and solar power for the main 'building' and will charge your device if needed), breakfast hours, but she might not have mentioned the no hot water aspect. (Yet we all survive as we just grin and bear it.) ||||Living in a huge city I wanted to escape for a few days. This did the trick. Great beach walking; island hopping available; books and some games available; relaxing beach atmosphere; motorbike rental to get around island, and more. They also clean the sea debris from their beach area each morning. ||||Bungalows vary. They can be quite small, but spend your time on the beach, not in your room. Each one has an outdoor seating area as well. ||||Since my birthday fell within the range of my stay (as my passport revealed), they fed me the traditional Filippino meal and sticky rice. They were excellent. Breakfasts were also delicious. You can eat almost any time of day. ||||I don't know if I've ever experienced a friendlier staff. They were helpful, kind, filled my day with birthday wishes, and helped in any way I requested. ||||It's not a luxury resort, but it's a relaxing resort. If you want this type of experience, go for it and stay here. ||||And the views are...

Best for those, who want to disconnect from civilization and spend all day long just chilling in the hammock or long chair at the beach. Friendly lovely family owners. Nice breakfasts (1egg, 3 toasts, butter, jam, coffee or water) good WiFi. Book this hotel if you want a nice vacation by the beach where you can’t really swim because of the low tights but can rent a kayak and go to an island nearby (if no wind) or go kite surfing if there is wind. Diving is also organized here by another hotel. Lovely and lonely cabins right on the beach. Google maps don’t show the exact location. After you arrive at your destination keep walking right to the beach and to the right 300m along the beach. You’ll see it there. But best of all contact the hotel to be picked up as you don’t see the name anywhere. Nice sunrises but no sunsets. 43km away from El Nido. If riding a motorbike chose the road to the north it is longer but it is paved and partly illuminated with lights on the road. No tours are organized from here. There is a restaurant and a massage place on the beach. No city. No big shops or supermarkets. Owners tell you about it as you book.Get mosquito repellent. Even though our bed was covered with the net, there were some holes there and we got a lot of bites. No electricity at night mostly (sometimes there is and sometimes there is no. Couldn’t get our phones charged at night. No hot water. After reading other reviews I was so excited about their kitchen but I got really disappointed when saw from my terrace their boys first picking nose and then touching my dish without even washing hands, also licking the ladle and again touching the food without washing it. I wish I haven’t seen it.Amazing starry nights, palm trees and chill is the motto...
