El Nido Four Seasons Beach Resort

As stated, this hotel is located right on Corong Corong beach and is easy walking distance to local shops, restaurants and bars in the quieter part of El Nido. Not walking distance to town, we rented a motorbike. This hotel is very dirty, we stayed for 5 nights and left the 'please clean room' sign on each day but they never cleaned our room. We also had to ask repeatedly for toilet roll and most of the time we were ignored so ended up buying our own. There is no bar or restaurant, only breakfast which is actually quite good food. We rented a motorbike via the security guard, who seems to be the one running this hotel, and he asked for 600 peso and insisted we pay immediately. When we rented at reception for a second day we were charged 500, when we asked why we paid him 600 the day before, all he said was commission. He also quoted 12,000 for a private island tour when other companies quoted 6000 so we gave that a miss. One our first 2 days the pool was out of action and filled with yellow dirty water. This did improve but the pool was still dirty. There are also dead Hornets in the lamp shades of the rooms. Would not return, rubbish value for money and dirty. Such a shame because given the location they could make this place so much nicer.

Wouldn’t recommend staying at this place. Overpriced, not very clean and the staff aren’t that friendly. (The security guard was so kind and helpful though! So thanks to him). They don’t have wifi- so don’t believe them when they tell you they do. They’ll lie and say they have wifi and convince you to buy a SIM card because the wifi doesn’t work on a foreign phone. Location is great though! Corong corong is a great spot to be, away from the dusty, craziness of el nido with lots of restaurants/bars along the beach.

Horrible experience!... Very expensive compared to resort just next door! No WiFi! No fresh drinks! I have to claim to clean the room and the last night someone came at 10:30pm to remind me that I have to check out the next morning
