Staff : friendly, helpful, accommodating, and providing ”top tier” hospitality
The location is a major highlight, as the hotel is only a 2-5 minute drive or a short walk from the Puerto Princesa International Airport.
rooms are spacious, clean, well-designed with unique hand-painted murals, and having very comfortable beds.
I really love this place! It's super close to the mall, which is great. The staff is so nice, especially the lovely lady at the front desk. She's just the best. The room is spotless and the hot water is a nice touch. I highly recommend this hotel.
Op het eerste gezicht heeft dit hotel alle voorzieningen die je nodig hebt: een geweldig zwembad, een fitnessruimte, een biljarttafel, het ligt vlak bij het strand, er is gratis ontbijt en een luchthaventransfer. Dat waren zeker pluspunten. Het ontbijt was echter een beetje vreemd: een buffet met één fruitsoort, rijst, vleesgerechten (gisteren kip, vandaag vis of eend), brood, wafels, diverse sauzen, salade, een eierstation waar je een ei naar wens kunt laten bereiden en twee soorten ontbijtgranen. De kwaliteit was goed en je kon zeker vol zitten van het eten, maar de keuzes waren nogal willekeurig. Wij vonden het niet erg, maar het was niet voor iedereen weggelegd.
Het grootste probleem met deze plek is de kamer. Die is heerlijk ruim en comfortabel, maar zoals anderen al hebben opgemerkt, is het er extreem vochtig. Zo erg zelfs dat we de eerste avond de schoonmaakdienst moesten bellen om onze lakens te laten verschonen en de vloer te laten dweilen. De vochtigheid liep langs de muren naar beneden, hoopte zich op in de vloeren en op andere oppervlakken, maakte onze tassen en kleding vochtig en zorgde voor een walgelijke muffe geur. We vermoeden dat dit geen ongebruikelijk probleem is, ondanks de 'verrassing' bij de receptie, aangezien de kamer vol schimmel zat. De enige manier om dit echt te verhelpen (maar niet volledig op te lossen) is door de airconditioning extreem hoog en ijskoud te zetten, wat we niet konden doen omdat het niet warm genoeg was en we niet ziek wilden worden.
Het zwembad was echter erg schoon, de biljart- en tafeltennistafels waren een welkome bonus, maar het strand is niet geschikt om in te zwemmen, dus houd daar ook rekening mee. Een prima verblijf als je een overstapvlucht hebt, maar absoluut geen 'resort'-ervaring.
Het beste aan dit hotel zijn het uitzicht en de zonsondergang vanaf de bovenste verdieping naast het zwembad. Het hotel is nieuw en heeft een zeer vrolijke, frisse en jeugdige sfeer. Veel zeer jong personeel met bloemenshirts, altijd klaar om je te helpen en met een grote glimlach. De kamers met uitzicht op de bergen hebben geen enkel uitzicht, alleen een witte muur en weinig anders. En degenen die uitkijken op de zee hebben ook uitzicht op de nabijgelegen hotels en hun daken. Geen enkele kamer wint als het gaat om het uitzicht waarvan u vanaf het zwembad kunt genieten. Dineren is een goede optie en beter als u een van de tafels heeft die het dichtst bij het zwembad liggen. De locatie is niet erg goed. Het hotel is het laatste aan het strand en er is niets in de buurt in de omgeving. Tussen 5 of 10 minuten met de tuc-tuc naar het centrum van El Nido. Het ontbijt is geweldig, zeer goed en een grote verscheidenheid aan eten. Het enige minpunt is dat de liften erg stinken. Hoewel ze parfumdispensers hebben, blijft de geur hangen. Ze gebruiken de liften om het eten (vis) naar het restaurant op de bovenste verdieping te brengen.
Room is clean, with friendly and nice staffs. Located just opposite the public market whereby you can get lots of fruits, vegetables etc. There are nearby supermarkets n small malls where you can get snacks and necessities. Also walking distance to SM mall. It is nearby the airport too. By tuk tuk it cost you 150 to get go airport. Walking distance to Baywalk where you can enjoy sunset and nice seafood dinners. Or relaxing stroll along the busy baywalk.
Paid 300 to get to the other side Sicsican where Ka Joel, baker’s Hill, etc are.
Overall, I would this hotel to anyone visiting Palawan. It provides good value for money and relaxing atmosphere and a convenient location, making it ideal for families,business travelers,couples. I would definitely consider staying here again
Service was great, friendly staff who helped my colleagues and I to book a restaurant reservation at short notice. Rooms were really spacious, great for organising our luggage. Amenities were more than sufficient, and wifi and AC was great as well. The location was close to a bunch of drive thrus (Jollibee etc) and it’s across the street from the mall. Just overall great stay!
Fijne plek om uit te rusten. Ik voelde me niet helemaal lekker dus we zijn hier 3 nachten gebleven. Dit was een hele goede plek daarvoor aangezien je niet perse weg hoeft omdat ze alles hebben op locatie. Het eten was prima maar niet super. Heerlijk geslapen dat wel! Leuke bar bij het zwembad. Wij hadden een kamer aan de tuin, dit was erg prettig omdat we dan niet continue rondom het zwembad area zaten.
High regards to the staff of the hotel whose sincerity and warmth made my stay very comfortable. There may be limitations in terms of the facilities but the competent staff overcome all of these. The location of the hotel is also a great advantage. The food is also perfect that is made more delicious because of the warm accommodation of the staff.
Zeer goed

Great
AAnonymous UserHands up to this place. The room was nice, the staffs were very friendly and accommodating. They will tend to your concern and make you feel their hospitality. They also have free breakfast every morning and all of it are freshly made.
The room has fresh linens, cold AC, hot and cold showers. The only cons during our visit is that there’s no wifi due to aftermath of a recent typhoon but overall this is 10/10 hostel. I’ll stay with them once I go back soon
SSimagin_IvanThe resort is nestled in a quiet harbour within a small village just a short distance from Puerto Galera — you can reach the town in about 10 minutes by tricycle for 50 pesos. The property sits right on the waterfront, with its courtyard opening directly onto the bay. The setting is incredibly serene, cosy and picturesque. The grounds feature plenty of relaxing spots: comfortable chairs, sun loungers and hammocks where you can unwind. We especially loved the chair near the large tree — it was the perfect place to relax!
The sea near the resort is a bit murky due to local currents, so not many people swim here. However, this isn’t an issue at all, as you can quickly and affordably reach the stunning beaches of Sabang (I highly recommend La Laguna) by tricycle — or even on foot if you’re up for a walk. During low tide, you can explore the seabed right near the hotel. The resort also has a small swimming pool, and despite other guests staying there, we never had any trouble finding space to take a dip.
The rooms are clean and well‑maintained, featuring a small kitchenette, stylish bathrooms and even a bathtub. We stayed on the ground floor, so we occasionally noticed small ants and once spotted a gecko — but they never caused any inconvenience. Please note that the air conditioning is rather weak, so the room might feel a bit stuffy or not quite cool enough at times. There’s both a ceiling fan and a standing fan available, though, and overall the accommodation was comfortable.
The on‑site restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes for breakfast and other meals, with prices typical for a resort area. We were very pleased with the food. The staff are attentive, always smiling and eager to help.
During our week‑long stay, the resort wasn’t crowded, which made for a truly relaxing experience — you really get what you came for. Occasionally, local guests can be a bit noisy, laughing loudly or singing karaoke, which might disturb your sleep or meditation. However, this is not the resort’s fault, and it’s still relatively quiet compared to other spots around Puerto Galera, such as White Beach.
What could be improved:
1) Flip‑flops. It’s odd that a seaside resort doesn’t offer free flip‑flops like most similar places do — they only rent them out here. Even budget hotels usually provide this small convenience.
2) Charge for outside food. Corkage fees are normal, but charging an extra 150 pesos for any outside food is too much. Even though we weren’t charged, the mere existence of such a rule makes the resort look stingy. This rule should be removed.
3) Wi-Fi was dead almost all of the time. Don’t rely on it.
Thanks to the Blue Crystal Resort for a nice stay! I highly recommend it.
CCT20We traveled as a family of four and booked two rooms—one twin-sharing and one queen double. Both rooms were in good condition, clean, and comfortable. The staff were consistently friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Daily housekeeping is available upon request, which was convenient.
Before our trip, I was a bit hesitant after reading some negative reviews mentioning repetitive breakfast options and the absence of hairdryers. However, it seems the hotel has addressed these concerns. Each room now comes with a brand-new hairdryer (ours was still in the box), and we were pleasantly surprised that the breakfast offerings were varied and different each day.
The hotel’s location in Coron town is another big plus, making it easy to walk to nearby restaurants.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again if we return to Coron.
SScott1968This was an amazing hotel and a great price for the value. The pool was gorgeous, the room was small but clean and had all the essentials, and the breakfast was incredible. Service was exceptional as well and not to far from all the action but far enough so you don't hear it when sleeping.
OOlisheranPerfect hotel! We booked individual overwater villas, which was an interesting experience! The rooms were clean, and there was a good variety on the breakfast menu. There are two pools, one with fresh water and one with saltwater! There's also a separate pavilion for watching the sunset or just relaxing and admiring the beautiful surroundings, set a little distance from the shore! The staff are friendly, young guys always ready to help! They greeted us with welcome drinks and helped with our luggage! (This hotel should definitely be more expensive!)
TTadej SarjasThe hotel is average. In the booking they said it has a hair dryer which they didn’t have. Even went to ask to the receptionist. The bathroom was so so, the sink water was on a sensor which didn’t work properly, was annoying when I had to shave, even brushing teeth was abit difficult. The toilet cover also kept closing and I when I told the receptionist they sended a guy and he taped it which didn’t hold for too long. We were 2 and they only gave one shampoo and bath gel. 🤷♂️They not had a kettle or any other “normal” appliances you see in a 3-star hotel. But the bed was comfy, the receptionist was nice and its direct on the beach…
AAlexey VerbitskyA nice location, but our room on the ground floor was dark and damp, we constantly caught a cold because of the air conditioner, there is no balcony, only access to the mini pool that resembled a mini paddock, it did not work for heating, there is no breakfast here, it's a pity that there was no room for us on the second floor, which affected the vacation in this place we were not satisfied because he is good in the photo but not very good in reality + all these disadvantages that no one wrote about.
Next time, I'll choose a much more comfortable place to vacation.
MmoahmadEL nido suites Location and the hotel facilities are the best.
The staff was helpful and room was good. I was able to book massage, tour and motor bike from the reception staff. Breakfast did let me down but still not bad. Bus terminal is next to it and the el nido public market.
Vanila beach, lio beach and nacpan beach is not far. Especially old town is around 10 minutes of walking distance from the hotel for the night life and for good restaurants.
Overall i would definitely recommend this hotel.
CCarina Y. B.The service and amenities are superb. The personels were very polite and accommodating. They gave us a very quiet room which is located on the 6th floor right on the roof deck. The food is good, breakfast is served in buffet which we really enjoy. It was such a memorable stay and we will definitely come back here.
