    JUST THE STAIRS I HOPE IN A FUTURE THEY WILL HAVE ELEVATOR.

    I highly recommend this place. The staff are accommodating and it’s easy to access various attractions in El Nido. Our room was clean and comfortable, with the air conditioner cleaned before our arrival due to my allergy concerns. The beautiful view and quick staff response were also great, along with the delicious breakfast choices.

    1. Sometimes the AC and water stopped working, but luckily there was a ventilator in the room so it wasn’t so hot 2. There is a deposit 1000 pesos you have to give them when checking in

    1. It was very clean and renovated including the bathroom, it was in perfect condition. 2. We got free upgrade to the triple room instead of twin room 3. Drinkable water, nice breakfast (pancakes, eggs, or rice with meat) 4. There was Netflix in the room, so you can watch movies during rainy afternoon 5. You can get a massage, but it’s quite expensive 6. 15 minutes walk to El Nido

    Nothing fancy, but it was a nice stay. A/C and hot shower worked well. Just 2–3 mins by motor to town, or a 10-min walk. Staff were super friendly and the free breakfast was good. Worth it for the price

    Only the stairs

    Wi-Fi, food, air conditioning, bathroom is spacious, and cleanliness was all great. The only downside is that the accommodation is located on the 3rd floor with no elevator, so carrying heavy luggage can be a bit of a challenge. Since it's a small place, there was only one male staff member at the front desk, but this didn’t affect our stay. The staff were very friendly and hospitable, especially Mr. Franco—if I remembered his name correctly. The food was tasty, and they also had options for non-rice eaters. There's a market conveniently located right downstairs, and the balcony where breakfast is served was a great spot to relax and enjoy the morning. If you stay here, I highly recommend leaving a tip for the staff. I really wanted to, but I was in a rush during checkout as our pick-up was already waiting downstairs, and I didn’t have any small change on hand.

    Lakandiwa Tourist Inn really pleasantly surprised us. Seeing that it had only opened quite recently and didn't have many reviews we were curious. The stay was outstanding! The rooms were nice and spacious. The Hosts were so nice, they really were ready to help you with anything. The breakfast was also perfect. Don't hesitate to book this!!!

    An Unforgettable Stay at Lakandiwa Hotel! We had a wonderful time at Lakandiwa Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the exceptional staff, who were always kind and attentive. The hotel’s location is perfect, just a short walk from the center of El Nido, and only two minutes from the beautiful Corong Corong Beach. It’s the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the island’s beauty. The breakfast was delicious, offering a great variety to start the day right. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. We highly recommend this hotel for its great location, excellent service, and friendly atmosphere. A real gem!

    Nothing

    The hotel is clean, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Our room had everything we needed and was great value for money. Breakfast was good, especially the generous portion of fruit. They informed us in advance about potential noise from the nearby power plant, but it didn’t bother us at all - it just sounded like an air conditioner to us but that could be because of the location of our room. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend!
