S Resort El Nido Managed by H Hospitality

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I had an incredible stay at the S Resort, the location was perfect as it was just a short walk to the beach and bars where you could head off for your tours. The staff were absolutely phenomenal (shout out especially to Carl, James and Nicole) everyone was so lovely and accommodating! GG was so well looked after and behaved it was hard to leave her, and the amazing masseuses that would come to the room and put us to sleep."
