This place has had a make over and is stunning! Absolutely gorgeous and the staff is friendly. I would definitely recommend watching the sunset from the pool and enjoying a cocktail there. 
I would definitely go back and enjoy the view again.

New Make-over is Stunning

Wow, what a hidden gem! We had a fantastic stay at The Nest, El Nido.We stayed in Apartment No.2 which was located opposite the pool/restaurant and just by the beach. We were made to feel incredibly welcome by the staff from the moment we arrived.All staff were amazing and couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating (special shoutout to Neil, our adopted son).The apartment was great and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The food and cocktails were really good, especially the breakfast, where you can pick from a number of options on the menu - I would recommend the ham and cheese omelette which was very tasty.Location is great and the hotel is right on the beach with beautiful views.The hotel garden/grounds was very well maintained and clean and tidy.Its about a 10min walk into the main town where the restaurants and bars are or alternatively, the hotel provide a free shuttle pick up/drop off service.Suggested improvements would be a few more sun-beds around the pool (although we didn’t actually have any trouble getting a sun-bed when we wanted one).There was also building works going on in Apartment No.1 during our stay with some drilling and banging however we didn’t let this bother us but just something to note if staying at the hotel in the next couple of months.Big thank you for such a fantastic stay and making us feel so welcome.

Wow, what a hidden gem!

This place in hidden in greenery and you need to know it exists to find it. A truly amazing place worth all the steps we had to climb to get to it. A self sustained place, part of a Glumping development, with full respect to the environment, spectacular views and delicious food. A relaxing atmosphere (sunset yoga is also part of what they offer), a warmly decorated restaurant with attention to detail.
It is shame we only discovered it the last evening, otherwise I would be going there every night. Reservation is a must. We were ’lucky’ we were there during the COVID-19 outbreak, so we could get in without a reservation and the place has only half full. 
Well done to the owners!

Best meal I had in El Nido

This sweet little hotel provided excellent service with a gorgeous outlook and relaxed vibe in a quiet location (except on NYE but to be expected). The rate included return airport transfers and a good breakfast (maybe a few too many non-western options for a predominantly western guest). The restaurant had a good choices for lunch and dinner on the menu for reasonable price. We were so happy we booked a Bayview room which had a large bedroom with high ceilings, an enclosed balcony with lounges and chairs, and a fabulous plunge pool/spa overlooking the beautiful formations of the bay. The hotel is an easy walk away along the beach to town for tour departures to the islands. The bathroom is a little small and water pressure is low but I think that’s El Nido in general. Not a bad toilet for SE Asia either. You can expect mosquitos at night and ants in your room if you leave sugary drinks around but thats life on an island near the beach so you just have to adjust accordingly. The power shuts off when you leave the room as its room key operated but thats good for energy conservation and the room cools quickly when you get back. The road from the town to the hotel is unpaved via a dirt bike with trailer so older/people with back problems/injuries may not enjoy the bumpy off-road ride to/from town. We just walked along the beach if we wanted to visit town for any reason. I think El Nido is paving that road soon too. My only other concern is that the neighboring resort is much louder which may not be ideal for light sleepers/people with children. I would request a room on the same side of the property as the restaurant or further from the beachfront if you like quiet. I would happily recommend this property and would stay again.

Lovely Beachfront Boutique Hotel

It is very nice clean comfortable and to my opinion the best choice in El Nido
Food is very delicious. Breakfasts are the best you can find in EL Nido. 
For Dinner there is not too much options in El Nido, THe Nest Resort Restaurant is one of the best limited choices.
Hotel crew is very nice very helpful.
They have a transfer with tricycle to everywhere in between 10am to 11:30pm. out of this time period yu can find tricycle to Ferry to Coron for 100 pesos for 2 persons.
Room is great.
Restaurant has a very nice island and sea view.
But the best thing about the hotel as the villa room and the restaurant is its Pool inforont of the restaurant. The hotel and the pool is just by the sea. the sunset in the pool is priceless. I strongly recommend the hotel.
You can make all bookings to the tours from the hotel except the diving tour. Diving in El Nido was one of the best experiences in the world.
And it is funny that you take off your shoes while entering the restaurant.

The best place to be in paradise

We stayed here for 2 nights, but we wish it could have been longer! The staff are incredible. So friendly, professional and very welcoming. The best view of the sunset from the pool and the restaurant. My favourite meal in el Nido was the arancini balls at the hotel restaurant. Would definitely come back again.

Amazing service

The Nest was the nicest hotel we seen in El Nido - definitely the right choice! It’s a family run business so they go above & beyond to please! We arrived at the airport (definitely worth paying the extra for a flight & the hotel accommodates transfers) from the minibus we transfered into a tricycle, abit odd, but we turned the corner, both looked at each other & said WOW ... the views are amazing! They have a tour guide who was very helpful we did trip A & C which was adventures of a life time definitely recommend! Are reason for visiting El Nido was the TAO tour but The Nest was the start of a fabulous trip ❤️

The best hotel in El Nido

Wish we could have stayed for longer! The trip along the beach every day into town was different. Food at restaurant was really good too. It felt almost secluded but also accessible from the town. Nice breach to walk along at your doorstep.

Amazing views

The cottages/suite has beautiful design. Only two things that was defective in our room, water in the bathroom sink drips out and to the floor, i also found a big chunk of hair in the shower wall. Overall is very good especially the food at the restaurant and the best mango daiquiri ive ever had. We like hanging out by the pool side having delicious food and good cocktails while the ocean view was fantastic!

Decent 3-star resort

Probs: Just by the beach ( not ideal for swimming). It is located in a quiet area, about 5min drive from the El nido town. Complimentary ride to near the town is nice! Hotel area is well maintained and they got fairly new and nice pool with seaview. We stayed in a basic room and it was okay, no complaints. You will find basic stuff from the room, fridge, flat screen, safe deposit. Aircon worked fine! Yoga studio is great! Food is good at the restaurant. Staff was friendly and spoke good english. 

Average: Breakfast is okay, not great but not bad. WIFI worked okay. 

Cons: Located in a quiet area, so if you want to be at the heart of El nido this is not your place. :) Complimentary ride they do have! Price is high, but that seems to be everywhere at El nido at the moment. 

Overall: A good place by  the beach! Overall it seems like a 3.5 star hotel. Definitely a place to try!
