As much as we paid - that's what we got. An excellent host - she goes out of her way to help us rent a scooter, she organized transportation to the airport. The breakfast is excellent, as is the home-grown fruit. It was too hot in the room, but they announced the renovation.

It has a nice touch of the local atmosphere and nature side while offering a comfortable stay! The staff are lovely and helped us with anything we needed!

Be prepared for lots of bugs and bees haha but it is due to gorgeous scenery and plants. Nothing bad to say about this. Annie and David are the best!

The staff/family are so kind and helpful. The communication was so clear and they were so so lovely, made me feel very safe.

For us, everything was fine but you should not expect more from this than what it is: Little bamboo huts that don't have the most comfortable beds with a mosquito net, light and fan. The hut is not perfectly sealed so there can be insects and some moisture if it rains. There are shared bathrooms with simple local showers that don't have a lot of pressure and you have to walk a bit to get there. Bottom line: It feels a lot like camping with extra comfort. Just don't expect a hotel room which would be much more expensive in El Nido. We decided to stay and ended up loving our stay. The owner even offered us a better price when we wanted to extend because of the previous power outage. If you are open minded and come with low expectation, you will love your stay 😊

The owner is the sweetest, she always arranged for us when we had problems or wanted to extend. One night the electricity was cut (in the whole city) and she insisted in offering us the night for free. The garden is beautiful, the breakfast is simple but we had daily fresh fruits, the people here are open minded, the pillows were so confortable, and its surprisingly quiet at night (when there is no power cut). We felt very welcomed in their little family.

Nice stay for the night before my early flight. Staff were friendly and organised a tuk tuk to the airport nearby. Everything clean and comfortable.

Cabins may be a little small for some with lots of luggage

Nice little cabins out of the main touristy area of el nido, rent a bike and you can be in the town in a few minutes. The family are super friendly, giving us free fruit and tips on things to do and places to eat, they also have a very cute puppy

Nothing to say about it

Absolutely amazing place. Nature next to you. If you enjoy spending time in nature, don’t hesitate and plan your accomodation there. Owners treat u like a friend not client. Beautiful people. Breakfast tasty and with smile. Brilliant for me

Annie is so Nice and helpful, the food was really good and generous. Our boat trip with Christine was wonderful

Beautiful stay away from the main part of El Nido. Annie and her family were amazing people and made our stay memorable. A short walk to local shops and restaurants as well as Lio Beach being nearby which was a highlight. Would recommend staying here for a unique backpacking experience. Great value for money and would definitely recommend booking all trips with Annie!!

The laid-back Banana Grove was a really pleasant stay! Ani was so accommodating, kind, and helpful! She went above and beyond, providing so many comforts, as I was battling an illness. They gave us so much information on what to do around El Nido and helped us plan everything, from boat tours to ferry's to other islands. The food is incredible and probably the best local food we've tasted in the Philippines!

Nothing!

We loved our stay at Banana Grove - our standalone hut was cool in the night, had everything we needed included a mosquito net and was only a short journey into El Nido. Breakfast every morning was brilliant with a choice of multiple options, but the best part of our stay was the owner - Annie. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, sorted everything we needed to properly see El Nido and travel onwards plus was really helpful with recommendations. If we return to El Nido, this will be the first place we’d book in to stay again!

The nicest people ever! It’s not an host, they are family to me! Supergood breakfast, best advices for tours and places, always helping people! I definitely want to come back!

Stayed in December 2024

The location is peaceful, quiet and a 15 min walk away from one of el nido's beautiful beaches. The best part of our stay was the wonderful hosts and their awesome families and friends. If you are looking for a warm and welcoming place in the middle of banana trees, super friendly and fun local people, that's the one. Thank you guys again for the wonderful stay!

Very nice host and location

For my partner it was no problem, because he has a very deep sleep but I have a very light sleep and couldn‘t sleep that well because you can hear everything and there were a lot toktoks/bikes passing in the night. But except from that everything was perfect and I‘d definitely come back

Very nice community, Annie is so lovely and kind and maked very good breakfast! You can choose between three breakfast options or take a special one for an extra price. We were also able to rent a scooter there. For some it may be a bit too remote but for us it was perfect. If you like it more local and not that much touristy, than this is the perfect spot for you to stay in el nido!

If we have to mansion something it would be warm water in the showers and a wall mounted shower head would be super nice.

The kindness of the staff and flexibility
