We were the only guests during our stay in this hotel. CoVid restrictions were still tight in El Nido last February and the local government still requires permit and antigen test upon entry.

We have stayed in this hotel for 3 times already. Room is spacious for two and we enjoyed the view of the pool and quick access to the pool from our room. Breakfast is requested the night before since it is still restricted, there is no breakfast buffet for guests.

Overall, Casa Kalaw is one of those accommodations in Lio Estates that we recommend. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Great Hotel inside Lio Estates

Very good service, friendly staff, close the airport and very good amenities. Enjoyed our weekend at Casa Kalaw, the rooms were clean, the staff practiced good safety and health protocols. The beachfront is wide, clean, not crowded, and the hotel can lend you kayaks so you can enjoy the beach. There is a good restaurant beside the beach (Globy) that serves good food. I recommend those wanting to explore El Nido to stay here. Its also good for friends and families looking for a shor getaway.

Very good location, friendly staff, and has all the amenities you need for a short stay

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in our first time in El Nido. Tessa and the rest of the staff at Casa Kalaw made us feel like we were royalty. From helping us get the (albeit very stringent) travel requirements from the El Nido LGU to upgrading our rooms to the overall cleanliness of the hotel to granting our special requests, everything was superb.

Great first stay at El Nido and first in the midst of a pandemic

Stayed here with 13 of my family members for Christmas till the 27th.  Clean and modern yet comfortable beach resort.  Private property so it is very safe, no street merchants irritating hotel guests and their visitors irritating you on selling things while enjoying your time at the beach.  Plenty of restaurants, eateries, bars around the property, literally not even 1 minute walk.  Complimentary breakfast wasn’t the best food but still good and enough for a good wake up pick me up for yours and hour family’s activities.  

Staff did their very best to accommodate my family with the storm, and contacting dispatch.  Staff also did a great job in helping tend to my grandmother who needed to rent a wheelchair from the Local medical clinic, and tending to my sick brother.  Staff was very accommodating and generous in letting us use their shower facilities even after we’ve checked out so that we can be fresh for the airport on the flight home after a long half day of island hopping. 

Casa Kalaw and all of the Lio properties helped make mine and my family’s Christmas getaway truly memorable. 

con- there is a visitor’s curfew rule of 10p.  No visitors of guests are allowed to be in guest’s rooms after 10p and can only meet with guests in the common area of the resort.

Beautiful Private Beach Front Property

Situated 5 mins away from Lio Airport. There’s a free shuttle provided by the hotel. The staff was friendly and accomodating. Santy maybe new to the role as a receptionist but upon arrival he was very hospitable and was able to look after our needs. Even though there was a little confusion about our group booking, it was easily resolved by coordinating with management. Breakfast choices maybe limited to some but was enough and filling us. Liza was more than accomodating to our group. Water purifiers were complimentary so we were able to refill our drink bottles daily. 
Located 20-25 mins away from El Nido town proper which is the resort’s benefit if one wants a peaceful and quiet holiday. There is a free shuttle every hour but can accomodate 20 ppl. Rooms were clean and serviced daily. There a pool in the property which was nice to cool off and relax after the tours. A short walk to the beach with choice of restaurants, a drug store and an ATM nearby. The area is kids friendly as well. 
Thank you Casa Kalaw staff for looking after us and made our first El Nido experience unforgettable. 

Great rates, good location, safe, tranquil and family friendly

We arrived at the hotel very early in the morning and the receptionist was kind enough to let us check in earlier so my daughter (heck, all of us) could rest. They have a swimming pool for adults and kids (fixed water depth for both pools). I liked the food they serve for breakfast - simple but delicious Filipino/Asian dishes mostly. There is a free shuttle going to the town - the road going there is very bumpy though. We did have to change rooms on our 3rd night because our aircon broke. This hotel is just a few steps away from the restaurants and other hotels within Lio Tourism Estate. I recommend this place for families especially with kids.

Family-friendly hotel with very kind staff

Originally booked Balai Adlao as we reach El Nido via Airswift we were picked up by JR who is very courteous, friendly and helpful. We were informed that we have been upgraded to Casa Kalaw. What a fantastic surprise! 
As we reach the hotel we were too early (8am) we had our breakfast and a brisk walk at the beach. We had our room set up by 10am. 
Thank God! We were assist Krizza from front desk whose very nice lady. 
Our stay in the resort itself is excellent. I love the serenity of it. There’s already shops and restaurants that made it convenient. 
Our rooms were right by the pool. Big enough soave they even have drying rack for wet clothes. 
Kudos to Krizza for making our stay wonderful. Always greeting us with a big beautiful smile. Irah from F&B that makes our morning bright with her beautiful smile too. 
It’s worth staying in Casa Kalaw. 

Hospitality at its Best! 

It was a destination wedding for an eldest son and we choose  to spend overnight at Casa Kalaw before heading over to Miniloc.  An afternoon cocktails was arranged fronting the beach  for all guests and families in order to have a good fellowship before the marital rites the day after.  We arrived before lunch and we booked immediately to a huge family room good for four pax.  The room was quite spacious and had very good shelf spaces for our clothing.  The lobby was quite welcoming and at the back  of the reception is the nice glimmering water of a fresh water swimming pool.  The facilities were quite nice , the only hitch was they lacked other guests accessories wich as iron and the board.  We had to wait for nearly an hour since it was used by other guests.  The hotel grounds were also interesting with the way the landscaping of natural palm trees and plants lining the buikdings.

A Pre Nuptial Overnight at Casa Kalaw

Best location to stay in el Nido! Clean, quiet and secluded on the quiet Lio Beach Estate. Great staff especially Santy who was most helpful.
Room was spacious and clean. Great pool and buffet breakfast. Lio Beach is quiet and clean with security and secluded. 
Even though it was completely booked we didn't see many other guests around.
Best location on the small estate which is secluded and private, with 10 small restaurants, bars, dessert, cafe, stores, spa and pharmacy away from busy el Nido town.
5 min drive from the airport with transfers included and free shuttle bus into town 15-20 mins away.
You can also take tour transfers from the pier and travel agency there. 
Only issue was our sheets smelt damp one night & a compendium would be a great help to know how to contact reception & know what's available in the area.
Would strongly recommend staying here!

Nice, Quiet & Secluded

Staying at Lio Estates is a good alternative if you wish to visit El Nido and does not want to blow your budget by staying at El Nido Resorts.

While Casa Kalaw is one of the older hotels in Lio Estates, the hotel is well-maintained and things are working as they should i.e. water heaters heating properly, a/c working fine, faucets/locks, and floorings OK. While the bed may be small (it is a single bed) for certain individuals, the mattress is firm. My only complaint is the pillows which are too high for me. Other than that the room is good.

As for the buffet breakfast, considering the price point for the hotel, the food is fine and selection enough to fuel you through a day of island hopping. Coffee could be stronger, but otherwise its pretty good.

There are shuttles from Lio Estate to Town but they almost always get full really fast as they serve not just guests from Casa Kalaw but whole Lio Estate including staff and residents. There are tricycles around but a trip to town could set you back about PhP300/trip. Either way, staying at Lio Estate and chilling at Jungle Bar is never a bad idea.
