I like the location it’s in a quiet location of the town; 10 mins walk to the town proper; I love the setting of the property lots of trees; staff and owner were super accommodating ( shout out to Pabs and Joshua)! They gave me breakfast for two since I am traveling solo and I booked for two; free ride from the property to main town until 10 pm ( or depends on high tide times)

I like to go out and stay late so coming home late is a hassle; the property is located where transportation is impossible after 7 pm until 3 or 4 am (depends on the high tide times) . So either you walk through the high tide which isn’t bad but if you’re walking by yourself it gets really dark

Phillipina food & their hospitality.. this is a nice place to stay with family culture.. easy for travelling with family & we stay for a week in this hotel for hopping island & kids also can swim at nearest beachclub.. The hotel also help us for many activity with good price for private family tour: 1. Prepare car for pick up from airport 2. Give us recommend tour travel boat for hopping island (we choose tour a + c) 3. And they help us for rent a car for city tour (we went to 3 beach, lio beach, vanila beach & nacpan beach, kids love it!!)

Unfortunately they only serve breakfast only... FACT Their food is DELICIOUS!! So i think, they should prepare a restaurant, so guests can order food at any time.. Lucky us, for the last night we can try their phillipina's traditional food for our family dinner..

We booked only 2 nights but ended up staying for 12! (They helped accommodate us and just had to switch rooms once which ended up a bit bigger room which was great) It is set away from the town and we loved the walk along the sea front and through the village. If it's raining or you don't want to walk, Pablo can give you a ride in the tuk tuk! He's a great driver! The rooms are really comfortable and kept lovely and clean. It can be noisy through the night with the rain, insects and frogs but we also loved that. It really felt like home for a few weeks and enjoyed breakfast there every morning and the communal area to eat and sit when not in our room. Great to be able to refill our water bottles and use the microwave too and be given beach towels when needed. They also helped with booking tours and giving recommendations for the area. A great stay and would definitely recommend! Thank you!

Not negatives, just things to be aware of so don't let it stop you from booking! When it rained a lot the room got quite damp but I think this would have been the case anywhere - there was a lot of rain!! The second room we stayed smelt a bit damp too but they had put an automatic airfreshner to help so were aware of that. The air con was a bit tricky to get right and could be noisy but very glad to have it! They have a few dogs on site so just watch out for dog poo. It is cleaned when spotted but nearly stepped in it a few times! The road also gets flooded but we avoided having to walk through it with a bit of planning and utilising the free tuk tuk rides on offer! You can always wash your feet if you get caught out!

I loved to stay at Bella Athena Garden. The best breakfast. Very stylish place. Drinking water and coffee all day free. Good room size, clean, working ac, hot water in bathroom. Location is good walking distance to El nido center but if you dont like walking you can rent a motorbike in this hotel for good price. But especially I liked the administrator of this hotel. She was very polite, educated and perfectly controling situation in the hotel. The best reviews about her.

I really loved our stay at Bella Athena! the staff/s were so friendly and the owners itself are very accomodating. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable to sleep in. The aircon is working well. They offer free tuktuk service if you want to go out and the breakast they served are very scrumptious. What I loved most is that we can sleep soundly at night with no noises or whatsoever. Only the sound of raindrops you can hear at night. When you wake up in the morning, you will delight see the mountain view and they have unlimited coffee drinks as well. As a first time couple staying in El Nido, we really had a great stay and we loved everything about the place. We will definitely go back.

None. Maybe they need to put some dryer racks outside the rooms. But over all, we had an amazing stay and no complaints at all.

The breakfast was great each morning, with some nice options to choose from. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They really made the stay for us. We enjoyed the location because it was far enough removed from the main part of town to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk to what we wanted to do.

The wifi was spotty at times and the tap water was not drinkable, but there are El Nido's issues, not the hotel's issues.

Away from everything, we really appreciated the calm and beauty of the place. The rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is homemade and was excellent. El Nido town is easily accessible on foot. We had a blackout one evening but the hotel had its own electric generator which allowed us to have electricity during the night.

We enjoyed everything.

f you go to El Nido I would definitely recommend you to stay at Bella Athena. Very friendly family. They always helped us and gave us recommendations and what to do. For a little more money they organize you a scooter and tours but you can also just book them in town. They pick you up with a tricycle as it is a little tricky to get there. Sometimes we had a scooter and sometimes we just walked to the town which is about 10-15mins. There was free water, coffee and tea the whole day, the rooms have an AC and they clean it whenever you like. The room is pretty with a nice terrace where you can comfortably sit for breakfast. The breakfast was diverse and pretty good. You can also say what you would like to have from their options.

The only thing is that it was quite noisy as there where frogs quite loud during the night and chicken in the morning. The accommodation was absolutely worth its money and it was not more expensive than other hotels around.

We had such an amazing stay! Every staff member made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The helped us organize airport transfer to the hotel, and booked our tours in advance. The room was clean with AC, bathroom had hot shower, and bonus little deck area with bean bag chairs and a small table. The front desk area has seating and complimentary tea and coffee anytime. Really nicely decorated! There are also the cutest puppies and kittens to hang out with! We felt very at home :)

The room was a bit small, but not an issue for us. We didn’t spend very much time in the room, and the deck area is a nice extension of it. The property is a bit far from the main strip, which we kind of preferred because it’s quieter. The hotel offers tricycle rides into the main part of town for free. When it’s high tide, you just have to walk along the beach a bit to get to the pickup point, which was fine for us. We also rented a motorbike from the hotel, which made it really easy to get into town.

Staff were all polite and helpful. We loved the vibe of the property, feels like home. We love the garden theme and we got so fond of the owners' pet dogs. 😊

The dodgy doorlock. We were struggling to lock the room that at one point we asked one of the staff to lock it for us. We ended up having to sleep one night with our doors unlocked as we couldn't do it ourselves.
