“A tranquil paradise in an amazing location that left me feeling relaxed and recharged”
+Ananda House was a quiet paradise in an amazing location. I was suffering from major travel burnout when I arrived, but when I got to the villa, my stress and fatigue just melted away. The grounds were landscaped beautifully, the pool was immaculate, and the interior was clean and vibrant. I really can't say enough about the place, and I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I come through El Nido. (Which is a rad beach town btw). I'll be making sure to put a few extra days aside next trip, so I can soak up the tranquility radiating from the place. I left feeling like a completely new person --totally relaxed, refreshed and recharged!! Owners were also on the ball for all my requests, and the wifi and power were A+. Thanks so much for being an amazing part of my vacation!

“Very enjoyable”
+The apartments themselves are lovely and were represented clearly in the photos. The location is somewhat distant from El Nido so one has to either hire a tricycle or a scooter to get in and out of town. The chap next door is very helpful in providing tricycle transport for approx 350 php one way into the town The apartments themselves are lovely and were represented clearly in the photos.
−It was inconvenient to be asked to move from one villa to another on successive days

“A gem in El Nido”
+Such a relaxing stay! The villa is beautifully designed and has everything you need. Loved the plunge pool and being surrounded by the lush garden. We really appreciated the solar since blackouts are apparently common in El Nido. The hosts were kind, responsive, and made everything easy. Overall a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

+We really enjoyed our stay at this villa. It’s cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The location is peaceful and private, away from the busyness of town but still just a short drive to the main attractions. We loved having our own private pool. It would’ve been nice to have a spot to relax by the water, though the owners mentioned they’ll be adding lounge chairs soon. There was a power outage during our stay (pretty common in the area), but it wasn’t a problem for us at all with the solar setup. The wifi was also fast and reliable The welcome guide was a nice added touch. We could really tell that the owners are locals. The recommendations were spot on, and even though it wasn’t our first time in El Nido, we found some new faves thanks to the guide. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-designed villa and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

“Loved it”
+We had a lovely time at Ananda House. Would have loved to stay longer. The owner helped us also, when we needed help desperately - Thank you for that!

+The whole villa was nice and spacy! Privat pool and pool-area, super. Nice living room, and well equipped kitchen. Pretty bathroom with the green area. Overall a small piece of paradise.
−Could have been some shower, or water possibility at the pool area, for cleaning feet or body, before entering pool or the villa. We had some rainy days and after walking on the streets your feet are dirty. This is just an improvment suggestions.

“Tasteful villa in nature”
+I liked to have the own flat with pool for myself. Quite outside the crowd and chaos. The interior design is well curated. The host has been very kind and helped me with booking scooter during my stay.
−I was expecting a bit more privacy around the outdoor pool.The apartment was also quite hot, even with the fan and AC on, so I had to keep the windows wide open during my stay to cool it down entirely which unfortunately led to insects and small animals getting inside hehe

+Loved our stay here! The villa’s tucked away in a quiet spot so you get peace, but it’s still just a few minutes from town too. Pretty convenient spot. Super comfy with everything you need a full kitchen, cozy rooms and fast wifi. It was pretty easy to coordinate with the hosts too. The private pool and garden were the best part. it was perfect for slow mornings or sunset drinks. Definitely a gem in El Nido.
