Family hotels and homes in Manlalec

The staff is very friendly, very helpful, the location is amazing, stunning view, very quiet, great for kayaking, everything was clean, the food was good and not as expensive as in el nido town, I stayed in a tent which was much more comfortable than I thought (:

The hotel is simply amazing. One of the best we have been to. Really modern and spacious. With great water pressure, what we really appreciated after Tao Experience. We loved the complementary juice, coffe, coke and sprite that we got in the fridge in our room on the first day and then fresh water refill everyday. We even got a free totem bag with hotel logo. The only downside is that the pool area is a bit to the small side and in a shadow because of being placed between two tall buildings. But some people like my boyfriend like the shadow :) The staff of the hotel is really outstanding, they remembered our names and would great us everyday using our names. They would order us transport to the airport and other beaches and so on and once they even drove to get me a plaster because I had a pretty bad wound on my finger from snorkeling. And let’s not forget their private beach which is AMAZING. Just a true little heaven on earth. Just on the side of the terrible horrific Seven Commandos Beach, which is a part of tour A, where there is like 100 and 100 of tourists. Meanwhile on the Papaya Beach, hotel’s private beach, we were mostly alone. It was heavenly, felt like a paradise on earth and we were drove there and then we took 5-10 minutes boat ride. The breakfast was very good as well, we mainly ate Filipino style breakfast, fruit and cakes, but there was also European/American style breakfast options. And coffee was good as well. And I usually don’t eat breakfasts in the hotels, because they aren’t too good usually. When we left we got some bracelets with Happy Lion logo on it for free and the entire hotel crew was waving us good bye when we were sitting in the taxi. It was very relaxing. Not to mention that it is really in the center of El Nido town and close to meeting points for boat tours, like 5-10 minutes walking. Pro tip if you are in the area I recommend eating at the Food Truck Philippines- very good Asian food and good prices.

Received a warm welcome from the staff and a tour around the area, which was unique. Villa was spectacular with great views a great location and quiet location easy to locate on google maps. Room was clean with daily room service and staff would regularly check to ensure we are comfortable. Food was awesome and breakfast was also great with a selection of menus. We really wanted to extend our stay but the place was fully booked. We will definitely be coming back again! Totally worth it.

Great room, great swimming pool and external facilities. very clean and high end room loved it! food and room services were great. breakfast was perfect. everything was very accessible.

Location, arrangement, breakfast

this property has exceptionally beautiful views due to the fact it is nestled on the side of a forest covered hill and looks out over the ocean. the staff are the other highlight of this property. nothing is too much trouble and they go out of their way to make your stay special.

Great place! Nice rooms, clean and tidy. The food os good too and we ended up having dinner there for a couple of times. Nice views and friendly staff. They drove us down to hire a bike and to Vanilla Beach, which was included in the service. Recommended!

right at the beautiful beachfront spas, cafes and restaurants are within walking distance comfortable bed refreshing Kalamansi welcoming drinks much needed after 6 hours van ride

This was without a doubt the best accommodation we had during our entire trip to the Philippines. The house itself is spectacular – beautifully decorated, the rooms are extremely comfortable, and there’s even an aqua service inside. And the views… simply unbeatable! Lee and Rufi are truly wonderful hosts. They carried our backpacks up to the house, prepared delicious breakfasts every morning (worthy of a resort!), and were always ready to give us tips or help with anything we needed. They even lent us a dry bag for our island hopping tour. We honestly have no words to describe how hospitable and kind they were. Staying here was an unforgettable experience, and we would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

Very high quality rooms, very big and with private pool. Amelia - The best host in the world. She help us with everything from activities, places, restaurants, parties, and also for national ID lost, transfer to airport etc
