My room wasn't massively sound proofed from the people next door who were VERY inconsiderate noise wise. Nitz then spoke to them and they were more normal and quieter after that, which helped, but just in case you get bad neighbours, I'd bring ear plugs.

Nitz and the staff here were so friendly and helpful. It felt like a home away from home. I loved the animals, the breakfast was good, the location was nice in that there were lots trees and felt like an oasis in the craziness and concrete of El Nido and it was only a short walk around the bluff from the main part of El Nido. I walked alone at night and felt completely safe. The ensuite bathroom was huge in my room and it was nice to have flushing toilets. The AC worked really well. They did my washing, had great restaurant recommendations and even let me try cashew fruit.

Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Big room, no air con but the fans were plenty good enough. Love the location just around the corner from town. Lots of goats and farm animals added to the experience.

The shower was awful - the pressure was very poor and I ended up having to rinse out the conditioner under the bathroom tap!

Great location - just far enough from the hustle and bustle but still walkable. Niz was great, very approachable and we were very happy with the tours/bike we rented. Our laundry was the cleanest we've ever had it - the girls did a great job.

Great location, within walking distance to town. Nits and her hubby were super friendly and hospitable. Kids loved the goats. Room had everything we needed.

We had a lovely stay at High Chaparral Cottages! Very peaceful place surrounded by beautiful nature, conveniently located 10 min away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido. The bungalow was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious! There was a little farm, which we especially enjoyed as animal lovers. Made friends with an adorable baby goat! However my most favourite part were the lovely owners - they were super welcoming and helped us book activities. It was very nice to sit down at breakfast and have a little chat about life with Nitz and Hans. Felt like visiting family! Thank you for the amazing time. Hopefully, we will be back!

Very nice location, in a quiet part of El Nido but only 5 minutes walking from the main centre. The hosts are welcoming and serve a tasty breakfast. Good restaurants close by as well.

Nothing

The spacious outdoor area and serene location create a peaceful retreat. The owners are incredibly kind and always ready to assist. Truly a hidden oasis in El Nido

None at all

We had an amazing time at High Chaparral Cottages coz it feels like home away from home. We were treated like family and were very well looked after. We love that the place is like a farm with the animals just casually roaming around the property. We arrived way too early for check in and since our room is not available yet, they made sure we’ll get some rest at one of their private places with the view of the beach.. we appreciated the recommendations and good conversations with the couple who own the place!

Great location, very large room. Hot water shower. Though chalet not air conditioned, the fans kept the room at very pleasant temperature. Large verandah outside, with comfortable seats to enjoy the garden view..

Roosters were noisy at night, ear plugs definitely helped.

This is such a unique and wonderful property. Hosts were so welcoming, attentive and helpful. There were so many friendly animals roaming the property, if you are an animal lover, this is a very fun place! Breakfast was amazing and reasonably priced as well as very flexible (especially for those who like to sleep in a little bit on holiday.) Scooter rental, tricycle booking, island hopping tours etc can also be booked through hosts who were very helpful with making your stay as convenient and enjoyable as possible. Location was close to town but far enough that it was quiet. Less than 10 min walk (however, depending on the time of year, the tide can be high enough that you need to walk through the waves to get there. This isn’t bad though if you time it correctly) Nita and Hans were exceptional hosts. They even organized a surprise birthday breakfast with decorations and pancakes for my partner which was so special. We hope to come back one day!

Excellent location- right next to town but very quiet and lots of space. Staff were so helpful and friendly, and helped us book everything from boat trips to ferry tickets to scooters. Highly recommend

No A/C and fridge. I would recommend an outdoor bug zapper and mosquito net for beds.

The location was close to the Town Square (about 5 mins walk). If you want to go to the beach, the shore was just across the street. It was relaxing seating on the front patio watching the animals.

Good location, in 5 minutes you are in El Nido Beach where all the restaurants, bars, etc. are. The hotel itself is situated in a quiet, large garden. Breakfast is good with lots of fresh fruit. You are surrounded by lots of animals. Hans and Nit are very helpfull and have a lot of good tips.

Internet just dont work there.. mobile coverage is also absent. Not possible to work online. But soon they will have starlink and things should improve. And in hot season AC is recommended, was hard with only fans.

Great place - next to center - but silent. Great owner, careing so much, helping with all things.

I loved everything.

Loved pretty much everything about High Chaparral. The owners, Nita and Hanz, are lovely and they have loads of animals around. The location is perfect, because you can get to town by 5 minute walk, there's a beach by the door of the property and it's quiet at night to get some good rest. I really would've loved to spend more time in this place, and enjoy more of their company and the beautiful baby goats they have around. They offer a great breakfast in the mornings, which they will accommodate to your needs (I'm vegetarian). I definitely recommend this place <3

WiFi was a bit hit and miss

Location and has all the amenities

Highly recommended...out of the ordinary...large piece of land...lots of trees...small animal farm with goats, all sorts of chicken, cow, cats and dogs, squirrels running up and down the trees, monkeys early morning on mango hunt...only 5-8 min walk form the huzzle and buzzle of downtown el nido...and the hosts r very, very friendly and hospitable...we had a wonderfull time!

Bathroom is functional but dated.

Far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel super relaxed, close enough to access the town with a short waterfront stroll. Being on a mini farm keeps the kids entertained interacting with the animals. Rooms are a good size. The hosts are very hospitable, felt like being welcomed in by family - they take great care of you to even notice the small things like noticing which tea/bits of breakfast you prefer to tailor it more to your taste the next day.
