"Pros: LOCATION – 9/10 The setting is stunning. The views are incredible, and just to the left, we spot a beautiful coral reef with vibrant violet corals that felt almost otherworldly. The location is private, isolated, peaceful, and truly feels exclusive and outside the chaos and bad smell of El Nido. Cons: SERVICES – 4/10 The services were overpriced and poorly promoted. We often felt lost and unsupported by the host, even though the person handling everything was friendly and charming. It would have been great if the nearby hotels coordinated to offer a shared boat tour to El Nido, as private tours cost around €200. The kayak provided was broken, and no alternative activities or recommendations were offered by the host. There were no good snorkeling spots, no scenic walking paths, and overall, nothing particularly inviting or warm from the hosting side. The food was bland and portion sizes were small. It seemed like standard frozen meals from a hotel chain, with no variety or fresh daily specials – just the same offer repeated each day. They even ran out of beer. Fortunately, we brought our own, though we had to store it in their fridge. The host’s family stays on-site and their kids were often playing and shouting around the property. While this might be acceptable at a mid-range guesthouse, it felt out of place in a place marketed and priced as a high-end “resort.” ⸻ PRICE – 5/10 The place is extremely overpriced for what it offers – both the rooms and the services. It feels like a “touristy” resort with high prices but without the level of quality or comfort to match. If you count that a couple pay the room 130€ (with booking offer or 250€), plus lunch, dinner and drinks for 80€ and 100/200 for activities, for a total of 350/400€ per night. Comparing with Marriott resort or any other you can evaluate that it is not a great offer. Maybe for just one night! ⸻ ROOM – 5/10 The room was basic – no air conditioning, an uncomfortable mattress, and only average cleanliness. The walls were so thin we could hear our neighbors snoring and, unfortunately, vomiting one night due to stomach issues." ~Theo

"Pros: We had a very lovely stay at Natua’s Beach. We literally felt as if we were with our family thanks to the kindness and love Natalie, Madeline and all the staff have showed us. Natalie was very caring and kind to us. It wasn’t like a sanctuary. The place is so calm and peaceful and you might be the only tourists in the area. The food was amazingly tasty and good and plenty of it; it’s affordable as well. The place might be a bit far from the airport and El Nido center (01h30) but we will surely choose to stay there again instead of El Nido as we don’t like crowded places and this one was perfect!" ~Mohammed
