Top Big Lagoon Hotel Reviews

H Hotel El Nido - Vegan Friendly Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Staff are top notch room was very comfortable. Has lots of amenities. Close to water and all the shops. Would highly recommend"

Pangulasian Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Customer service great facility great"

El Nido Moringa Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was clean"

Lime Resort El Nido

10/10 Excellent

"Lime Resort is very professional and customer-focused, with service that goes above and beyond. Every staff member from security, front desk, and concierge to the drivers and restaurant servers was accommodating, friendly, and always greeted us with a smile. Before our arrival, they proactively informed us that the infinity pool would be closed and offered the option to switch to an affiliated hotel or keep our original booking. I am so glad we chose to stay. Not only is Lime conveniently located near town and Vanilla Beach, but the staff truly made all the difference. A few minor issues: the TV didn't work properly, the shower tended to leak water onto the bathroom floor, and the sink area could benefit from a wider shelf for toiletries. Additionally, a broader breakfast selection with more fresh fruit or cheese would be nice (though my family was completely happy with it). Overall, we were very satisfied, highly recommend Lime Resort to everyone, and will definitely stay here again if we return to El Nido"
