Panari Lodge — Hotel in El Nido

Booked here for 4 days 2 rooms booked one family room and one deluxe double room. Booked and paid half of the booking fee directly to the lodge. |Krissa greeted us and kindly let us check in early at 12 pm while we wait for the double room to be ready. The family room is very basic. Aircon is old, drips and very noisy and although it was set on 16 degrees it was still quite hot in the room. |The tiles entering the room is uneven and wobbly. My daughter every hurt her foot on it. the second ceiling light and fan is broken. There was no safe, kettle or any drinking facilities in the room. No tables only a very old cabinet below the TV where the smallest fridge sits. The only power point next to one of the beds is faulty and so loose that it cant even hold what you plug in. The toilet smelt of sewer and the water from the bathroom stunk so bad. The beds are fairly comfortable but old and the bedsheets are old and work out and looked dirty. I didn't sleep very well as I cant face putting my face into the actual pillow. ||My parents room stunk of sewer so bad. The sink was located in the actual room and not in the bathroom. Little ants constantly coming out of the tap and shower every time they used it. There was no fridge in their room and the safe was faulty. |The room also stunk of sewer so bad that when my parents complained they have kindly tried to sort the issue out by cementing the bottom of the toilet seat where the smell was seeping through. The staff also tried their best to mask the smell with numerous air fresheners but you could still smell the bad sewer smell in the background. The staff has kindly tried their best to try improve the smell. We have lost 1 day of our 4 day trip due to them trying to fix the problems.|We felt quite sick and unwell from the smell that we decided to move elsewhere and find a cleaner accommodation where we can be more comfortable and enjoy our trip here in El Nido better. The feedback and photos online doesn't seem to reflect the actual conditions of the room and the place otherwise I would definitely would have not wasted our time booking there. We cant afford to be ill when we are on holiday. The staff has been kind and accomodating though so that is the only positive thing I can actually say about...

We had a great stay at Panari Lodge! It is a nice, small, quiet and clean little place. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and welcoming! The location was perfect for us, being right on the beach, but also still quiet and relaxed, which is our preference. No need to go anywhere else for a beautiful sunset, we enjoyed walking out along the water and seeing all of the starfish and watching the sun go down. You are a very short walk away from many restaurants, and a short tricycle ride away from El Nido town for more restaurants and shopping. There were always tricycles available on the road behind the lodge. The room was cozy and comfortable and had a wonderful view of the beach and ocean. The value for your money is fantastic...

Overall, the Panari Lodge is a gem in El Nido, with its cozy accommodations, friendly staff, and awesome location. I couldn't recommend it more for anyone looking to experience the best of this...
