El Nido Bayview Resort, Inc.

We took the day pass here (swim and dine) for 1650 peso per person incl. tax. This includes free use of pool towels, 1 free drink, and 1 free dish (like burger, fish & Chips, etc.). They have happy hour from 16:30 onwards, so cocktails are then buy 1 get 1 for 380 peso. In the evening they even had a music band play live music. On top of that all, the pool beds are so comfortable and plenty. The pool is lighted up very cool during the nights. And the view is amazing!

This resort is a mixed bag, offering stunning views and tranquility alongside notable logistical and service issues. The highlight is the star light swimming pool, which provides a breathtaking view of El Nido Bay and sunset (as shown in the photos) and features a great poolside bar. The spacious rooms offer lovely bay views, and the daily breakfast buffet and inclusive tour package are strong selling points. It's a peaceful, quiet escape, perfectly secluded from the busy town proper. However, the seclusion comes with drawbacks: it's far from Calle Hama (P150 one-way tricycle fare), and the necessary stairs to reach the rooms are a challenge. Connectivity is poor—there is no data coverage and the Wi-Fi is slow. Be prepared for mosquitos. My major disappointment upon arrival was the unexpected P1,400 fee for the van transfer. Despite confirming a pick-up at a nearby lounge (as the RT airport transfer was included in the package), I was charged without prior notification. The front desk's subsequent disregard for this concern was frustrating and needs addressing. Overall, it's a beautiful, relaxing getaway best suited for guests who prioritize views and quiet over convenience and strong connectivity, and who are prepared for the extra travel costs.

I went here for a day trip to see the the hype about the amenities and view and I can say is that it lived up to the hype. The view was amazing and the pool was simply perfect for the view. The food was also good, I had the burger. On top of all that, the service was also amazing. I would say it's worth the visit if you are not looking into getting tours for the day. It's quite far from town tho so I'm not sure if staying here will be worth.

We were sold the cheaper room at the price of the more expensive one. When we asked for a room change or refund, we received no response until after we left. Only then were we told we would not receive any refund because we didn’t leave earlier or switch rooms — even though the hotel never replied to our messages. We were also only informed about ongoing construction works after we had already paid, with the booking marked as non-refundable. The construction was extremely loud, starting around 7 am and lasting until the evening (about 8 pm), making it very hard to relax. The staff were rude, especially the hotel manager, who ignored us completely after we raised the issue and even called staff to handle us instead of speaking with us directly. In an emergency, when the bike they rented to us broke down in the middle of nowhere at night, we called nine times. Nobody picked up for a long time, and when they finally did, they told us to find help ourselves. The path to the rooms is very far and requires climbing many stairs, which makes it difficult to access. The breakfast was mediocre. The room itself had many problems: the sink was clogged, there were geckos inside, the bed was difficult to access because of the couch placement, the shower doors wouldn’t close, the water was dirty, and there was no view at all. Below I will post the photos of the room advertised on Booking versus the room we actually got, as well as the broken tire from the bike they rented us.

Loved staying at Bayview resort. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were so nice and clean and obviously the views are stunning. I highly recommend it!
