+This property was a disaster.You first walk past as if you are going through everyone’s back yard. Then open a gate to the property which looks like it’s abandoned huts, it’s dirty, landscaping is like overgrown grass and plants. You will be sleeping in premade huts. There is a toilet out in the open, once we saw that we walked out of the property! It felt unsafe and unclean. You are 20-30 minutes from El nido!

+Really enjoyed my stay at Coco Garden. The owner Ray, his associates George and Gerri Lynn made my experience in El Nido memorable. Treated me and every other guest like family. Ray will do what he can to assist in your travels. The property itself is close to Vanilla Beach and some eateries. It’s more chill than the standard hostel. Rent a scooter and you’ll be good. Wi-fi in all of El Nido is spotty, so you have to patient, but Ray will help you if you’re in a pinch. Will be looking forward to seeing Ray and company soon!!!
+we stayed there for 3 nights + Beautiful nippa huts + a lot of space + nice garden + breakfast included + the owner (Ray) is very friendly and tries to help as much as possible to make your stay pleasant. - very far away from the City centre (you Need to rent a Scooter!) - very loud at times (you can hear every word the neighbour in the hut next to you is saying; a lot of roosters around

+I like that you get to experience the traditional bahay kubo theme and it was done nicely at Coco Villa

+Good and clean place with nice and helpful owners. Well priced highly recommend
+we arrived later in the evening coming from the bus from puerto princessa, and were welcomed warmly into a karaoke night the owners and some of the guests were having! we were shown to our villa, which is a bamboo hut with a entrance room comfortable for sitting that has a table, a bed section with a comfortable clean bed and mosquito net as it is not fully sealed to the outside, and a bathroom with a sink shower and well working flush toilet. the shower is cold water only but i think you’ll find this common in the philippines. there is no AC, but there is a fan with kept us nice and cool. this is not a fancy schmancy hotel, but it is clean, cozy, unique, homey, and the service is out of this world! free breakfast every morning, the owners and staff will help you out with whatever you need. because it is a bit far out of town-they can help you rent a scooter (totally worth it it makes everything on the island accessible) or call you a tricycle! for the price, i believe there’s no better place to stay in el nido. we love and miss our lil villa already and would totally stay again!

+Proximity to beach, restaurants and local shops. Services by owner and staff were satisfactory, always willing to lend a helping hand.
+Arrived in El Nido upon my check in date. The island had some bad rain and flash flood (according to the owner). NO ONE CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT WE COULDN'T CHECK IN DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THIS PLACE. I HAVE STAYED HERE TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND REALLY ADMIRED THE PLACE AND THE STAFF. NO ONE INFORMED ME NOR TEXT ME NOR EMAILED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE PLACE WAS RAMSACKED DUE TO THE RAIN. I ARRIVED AT COCO GARDEN, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE, THE PLACE LOOKED ABANDONED AND EMPTY. AFTER YELLING OUT FOR SOMEONE, FINALLY THE OWNER CAME OUT AND TOLD ME THAT HIS PLACE WAS HIT BY THE FLASH FLOOD AND THE RAIN. THERE IS NO WATER AND THE PLACE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I RENTED 3 COTTAGES AND NOT ONE WAS AVAILABLE. RAY TOOK THE LIBERTY TO DRIVE AROUND WITH US TO HELP US FIND ANOTHER PLACE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF PLACES WERE SOLD OUT AND COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE US FOR 3 ROOMS. AFTER LOOKING FOR 2 AND A HALF HOURS, WE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE WITH ONLY 2 ROOMS AVAILABLE - EL NIDO BEACH RESORT, WHICH WAS PRICEY. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CHECK IN AT EL NIDO BEACH RESORT. THE OWNER TOLD ME TO NOT CANCEL WITH EXPEDIA AND JUST LET IT GO AS IF WE CHECKED IN. AND THAT HE WILL JUST REFUND ME THE MONEY

+Mein Freund und ich hatten zuerst nur eine Nacht gebucht, sind dann aber wine Woche geblieben weil wir es so toll fanden! Meiner Meinung nach die beste Unterkunft was du für das Geld in El Nido finden kannst. Die Bungalows liegen etwas außerhalb vom Stadtzentrum, man erreicht es aber in kurzer Zeit und für wenig Geld mit einem tricycle. Dafür aber ist der schöne vanilla bzw. las cabañas Beach sehr nah, dort haben wir die meiste zeitverbracht. Der Host Ray ist der beste Host auf Erden! Wir haben oft mit ihm gekocht oder ein Glas Rum getrunken, er hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben, uns sogar zb zum Busterminal oder in die Stadt gefahren und hat allgemein alles getan damit man sich wohl fühlt. Eigentlich hatten wir El Nido schon verlassen, sind aber wieder zurück gekommen weil wir ihn tatsächlich vermisst haben. Er ist wie ein Papa 😁 Also ich kann jedem die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!
