Hardin De Marbella — Hotel in El Nido

I’m happy to write the first google review here! My BF and I were really skeptical when booking this place as it’s really new and doesn’t have many reviews on any platform. However google map satellite view plus Instagram confirms this place is legit. And I just had good feelings about it.

Location is about 15 min scooter ride to main town. Close to beaches. If you don’t ride scooters you can get around with tricycles.

The scenery is great and the place very picturesque. There are two dogs on property and they are the cutest most laid back dog.

Drinking water is provided(just bring a bottle to refill), breakfast is included and the owner really goes above and beyond to help guest’s request like booking motorcycles for tours.

Wifi works great. And there’s is a main area for guests to hangout. Coffee and tea provided.

One thing to note is the as of now only cold showers available but given the hot climate it’s not an issue. If you’re sensitive just shower during the day, the water gets quite...

My boyfriend and I had such a lovely stay here. Karla and her family are so accommodating and welcoming. The breakfasts are delicious and they help you plan tours, get a motorbike and help if you have water/food poisoning (thank you!🥰). The rooms are quite small but they have everything you need. Good to know that there are power cuts quite often, no hot water and the location is quite a bit out of el nido so it is useful to have a motor bike or tuktuk driver.

Feedback: the beds are quite small for two adults so it was not very comfortable. There was a lot of gecko poo on the walls and even some on the floor which could have been cleaned. A dryer/rack to hang clothes outside the rooms would be nice especially as most visitors come home with a lot of wet towels etc.

Thank you again!...

Very friendly family run accommodation. Carla helped us to order tuk tuks and also booked our transfer to Port Barton. The complementary breakfast was really nice - either continental or pancakes. The hut was clean. Nice pizza place could deliver pizza as there are no restaurants nearby. We had geckos in our room, they help keep insects away but useful to know if you’re not a fan of them! Difficult to find in the dark and down a very rocky road. You have to take a tuk tuk into El Nido, this takes around 10-15 mins. A bit expensive considering we had to pay around £6 a day to and from the town. Not many food options around. The WiFi didn’t reach our room, the shower was always cold, and we didn’t get a mosquito net until the second night because our door didn’t...
