From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and met every expectation. The staff made sure we had "to go" breakfast on a morning that we were leaving for a private boat tour, so kind. The dinning area is incredible; we could've just sat there for hours as the view was perfect! Right on the water; so beautiful. Food was great. We walked to and from town, for us no big deal only a short walk to everything. The grounds are as clean as they could be and so beautiful with the flowers, trees, rock walkway, and little sitting areas. Our "cabin" was perfect, air conditioning worked very well, clean, and just what we needed. We would recommend this place to everyone and if ever in the area again would stay here. Thanks for such an amazing stay!!! ##### Stacey ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liam Mar 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A beautiful location on Calaan Beach, which is just an easy 5-10 minute walk into town. The cottage I stayed in was basic with just a ceiling fan, which is fine for me, with a very tropical jungle feel to the rooms. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept immaculate. The breakfast included was simple, but delicious and the view from the restaurant/bar everyone morning is memorable. Really enjoyed staying here and not in town centre. Would return on my next visit to el nido. ##### Liam Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I booked room one, a family room, as it was the last room available at the time. I didn’t need the additional space but it was worth the additional cost for the view. There was seating and two sun beds on the deck overlooking the bay. Unrestricted water views. The hotel isn’t new, but gets five stars for the view and the excellent food. ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We are very happy with our stay, the view was unbelievable! win win! Free breakfast was also a plus, basic Filipino Breakfast and they do serve European Breakfast. Walking distance to the town square, and we walk along the beach to get to the town square. However, the sign on the street is so small that the tricycle driver have to ask me several times the name of the hotel which increases my suspicion if there is such a hotel or not. :) The road going to this hotel is so narrow that no car can fit, but only tricycle or motorcycle. ##### Cathy Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mia Jan 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This property is such a gem! I love how secluded and peaceful it is, away from all the noise of the town. It's also beachfront, so you can go for a dip whenever you want on the clear waters of Palawan. Since it's secluded, it's a little far from the town proper, probably a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute tricycle ride which they offer for free, just message them whenever you need a ride. Our room was at the 3rd floor which was so spacious, we had our own balcony with a hammock and the best view of the waters. Staff is amazing too, July at the front desk helped us out with everything, from van transfers to booking a massage, she was so nice and truly the highlight of our stay here. The other staff at the restaurant (breakfast and evening), and the kuyas who drove us with the tricycle are all so nice and warm andbalways very accommodating. It's free breakfast too! Only wish is for them to have more breakfast options but otherwise everything was so great. I'll stay here again in a heartbeat when I go back. ##### Mia Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christian Reyne Nov 26, 2025 Disliked: Amenities Room is good and comfortable. However frequent power outage. The AC is very weak and not cold during hot weather which is most of the time. The staff has very strict rule of not being able to bring in food so if you have left overs from restaurants you cant bring it back to the hotel. ##### Christian Reyne Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy Sep 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had an amazing stay here! The staff was awesome and my accommodations were perfect. The only thing I didn’t like was the convenience of getting to and from El Nido. The hotel provided free transportation but only to the main square. ##### Timothy Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David Aug 31, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a run down hotel. It was dirty and black mould throughout the room. The bed was like sleeping on a rock. We actually moved to lime resort and it was fantastic ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Jan 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast options and in generell good food, close enough to all the bars and restaurants directly El Nido, amazing view and not many people but still close to everything ##### Simon ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great value for money ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana Jan 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was amazing! ##### Dana Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### michael Jul 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property has new owners There is still a few issues they are working through however based on my experience here this will be a fabulous place to stay for my future visits ##### michael Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan Apr 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice little cottage away from all the city noise. Right on beach. Wake up in the mornings and simply take a few steps to the water ##### Nathan Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kimberly Oct 18, 2024 Views wonderful. Noise around area and within property disappointing. I was awoken quite a bit by staff, construction workers, loud guests. Staff gave misinformation and was not prepared for transport when said would. ##### Kimberly Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pieter Sep 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice place when staying in El Nido Very nice accomodation. Amazing food in the restaurant by a French chef. Well recommended. Just some troubles with the water pump during our stay, meaning there was no water for a few hours, but that’s part of the things that happen when travelling in a country like the Philippines and can’t really be helped. They are a little bit away from El Nido town, but provide a free tricycle to get to town and back, so that’s really not an issue. ##### Pieter Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carmelina Jan 5, 2023 Disliked: Amenities Wifi wasn’t working for the first 4 days we were there, was rather inconvenient ##### Carmelina ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeff Dec 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Monkey. The staff was great. The breakfast in the morning was good and filling with strong brewed coffee served by a nice girl named Vanz. There was another server, but I missed her name. The wonderful July at the desk arranged our tour and rides to the airport. Pads the tuk tuk driver was great, also helped carry our luggage to the second floor room with a great view. It’s not a high end resort, but very comfortable with a short ride or 15 minute walk into town. Beach was good for shelling. Not great for swimming. Best beach for swimming is the Corong Corong side or El Nido town. ##### jeff Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Savannah Feb 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Some of the reviews were very dramatic, and frankly not a reflection of the experience I had at Golden Monkey. I loved the rooms, decor, bar (albeit intermittently attended), hammock and quick access to the beach. I would recommend taking a separate tricycles if you have anymore than two people and bags, otherwise your third will have to jump off during the narrow streets to the hotel! Also loved the cats Frida and Melon, their very own in house Golden Monkey! ##### Savannah Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lakawon Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cadiz-City-Hotels-Lakawon-Island-Resort.h48718784.Hotel-Information) > > [Astoria Palawan](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Princesa-Hotels-Astoria-Palawan.h7863024.Hotel-Information) > > [Camp Netanya Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mabini-Hotels-Camp-Netanya-Resort-Spa.h15967910.Hotel-Information) > > [Dos Palmas Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Princesa-Hotels-Dos-Palmas-Island-Resort-Spa.h8082271.Hotel-Information) > > [Coron Westown Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Coron-Hotels-Coron-Westown-Resort.h6117776.Hotel-Information) > > [The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Lipa-Hotels-The-Farm-At-San-Benito.h4850057.Hotel-Information) > > [Acuatico Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Juan-Hotels-Acuatico-Beach-Resort.h12321918.Hotel-Information) > > [El Nido Garden Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Nido-Hotels-El-Nido-Garden-Resort.h20125738.Hotel-Information) > > [Karuna El Nido Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Nido-Hotels-Karuna-El-Nido-Villas.h22418590.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanica Resort Panglao](https://www.expedia.ca/Panglao-Hotels-Oceanica-Resort-Panglao.h7811250.Hotel-Information) > > [Aureo La Union](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Fernando-Hotels-Aureo-La-Union.h16099636.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagùn Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Nido-Hotels-Lagun-Hotel.h24156404.Hotel-Information) > > [Bacau Bay Resort Coron](https://www.expedia.ca/Coron-Hotels-Bacau-Bay-Resort-Coron.h27364069.Hotel-Information) > > [Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan](https://www.expedia.ca/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Crimson-Resort-And-Spa-Mactan.h3742416.Hotel-Information) > > [El Nido Moringa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Nido-Hotels-El-Nido-Moringa-Resort.h32567103.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Balai Isabel](https://www.expedia.ca/Talisay-Hotels-Club-Balai-Isabel.h2964073.Hotel-Information) > > [Campuestohan Highland Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Talisay-Hotels-Campuestohan-Highland-Resort.h35238602.Hotel-Information) > > [Puerto Del Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bolinao-Hotels-Puerto-Del-Sol-Beach-Resort.h9404916.Hotel-Information) > > [Camaya Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Camaya-Coast-Hotel.h33786001.Hotel-Information) > > [Cadlao Resort & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Nido-Hotels-Cadlao-Resort-Restaurant.h8961577.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunlight Eco Tourism Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Culion-Island-Hotels-Sunlight-Eco-Tourism-Island-Resort.h32565536.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor at Camp John Hay](https://www.expedia.ca/Baguio-Hotels-The-Manor-At-Camp-John-Hay.h16009390.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Seasons Coron Island Resort ](https://www.expedia.ca/Coron-Hotels-Two-Seasons-Coron-Island-Resort-Spa.h6118021.Hotel-Information) > > [Camayan Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Morong-Hotels-Camayan-Beach-Resort.h8782508.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu](https://www.expedia.ca/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Shangri-La-Mactan.h190534.Hotel-Information) > > [Thunderbird Resorts - Poro Point](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Fernando-Hotels-Thunderbird-Resorts-Poro-Point.h2185153.Hotel-Information) > > [Solea Mactan Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cordova-Hotels-Solea-Mactan-Resort.h15715493.Hotel-Information) > > [Cebu Safari and Adventure Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Carmen-Hotels-Safari-Camp-At-Cebu-Safari-Park.h42543778.Hotel-Information) > > [Canyon Cove Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nasugbu-Hotels-Canyon-Cove-Hotel-Spa.h4727200.Hotel-Information)
