    “The resort is absolutely beautiful—peaceful and far from the hustle and bustle of El Nido, yet it’s very easy to get around as tricycles are readily available at very low prices. The staff are incredibly helpful and attentive, always ready to assist with anything you might need. You can truly rely on them for everything, which made our stay even more relaxing. The restaurant serves delicious food at very reasonable prices. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up having dinner there every evening, and the cocktails are excellent as well. I highly recommend booking the tours through the resort. They include the environmental fee, towels, and snorkeling equipment. Just a small tip: you might be asked to pay again for the equipment on the boat, but simply mention that it’s already included—otherwise, the boat staff may not be aware. In the end, it’s actually more cost-effective than booking on the street. We booked all our tours through the resort and were very happy with the experience.”

The staff could not have been more attentive and friendly, the location was paradise, the hotel itself was magical. I couldn’t recommend staying here enough. We adored it. Thank you to the Buko team for making our stay so magical.”

    “Staff is fantastic, they go above and beyond. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, location is nice, away from El Nido town but short trike ride to town.The help with tours, transportation and really anything we needed assistance was professional, thorough and executed with a smile.The bungalows are picturesque. Went to Lio beach via hotel arranged transport for the day and recommend that, did a boat trip and did a canopy walk. So many terrific restaurants in El Nido town and outskirts. Our Garden villa living space was generous, lots of nice touches such as bug repellant and a beautiful welcome for our group.”
