This place probably has the best view in town. The staff was amazing, and Yuli, the owner, was right there alongside them making sure my stay was unforgettable. If you’re renting a car, I’d suggest parking near the Reggae Island Bar, which is about a beautiful 20-minute walk to the hotel with incredible views and plenty of spots along the way to grab water, beer, or snacks. You can also take a tuk tuk, which is super cheap and only about 5 minutes to the hotel. Highly recommend this place!

Run down room, moldy smell everytime you enter the room. Thou we liked the staff especially Jima, she is really nice and helpful. The road going to this resort is really rough, narrow and not paved. The town itself Definitely need a lot of improve with their rough unpaved roads.

The room been a little smelly, shower pressure was bad and need replacement same as door for the room because i had hard time to close it from the inside. Lots of dead insects swimming in the pool and nobody to clean it, also the water was salty so probably pumped from the sea, so we didn't really used it. The view was Great the area peaceful, staff tried best but a lot need to be done to make the resort up to standards.

We had the most wonderful stay here, thanks to Ate Rhose, Oli, and the entire team. Despite our very late arrival (past midnight after a 5-hour van transfer from Puerto Princesa), they were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. Almost all the rooms are seafront, so we woke up to incredible views of the bay and the opposite islets every morning. The service was also top-notch; they offered free shuttles to the town square and organized several activities for us. The team was always available and went above and beyond. I would definitely stay here again!

I had an amazing stay at the El Nido Reef Strand Resort — truly a 10/10 experience. The view alone is breathtaking. Waking up and enjoying meals while overlooking the beach and nearby islands was unforgettable. The property feels very private and peaceful, which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Getting there can be a bit of a challenge since the road is quite bumpy, but once you arrive, it’s absolutely worth it. The hotel also makes things easy by offering a convenient shuttle service to town and the airport. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The German owner may seem a bit reserved at first, but once you start a conversation, he’s genuinely warm and accommodating. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway with stunning views, this place is a gem.

The good and the bad: Good: The staff are the best feature of this property. They're really fantastic people who are helpful, friendly and kind. Someone is always available to assist whether it's 9am or 3am. The food is fantastic - we have stayed at multiple resorts in Philippines over a three week period and the breakfast we had at Reef Strand was better than all of them. The view was incredible. The resort always has a tricycle available to take you to the town square when needed, which is helpful because it's about a 15-20min walk. Bad: The resort does need extensive upgrades and maintenance. My room (201) smells like sewage. I mentioned this to the
