Golden Monkey Cottages

Enjoyed our stay. We found it difficult to get to when we arrived, we weren't told to notify hotel but were lucky enough for a local to ring for us when they saw us walking with luggage. It is a fair but enjoyable walk to town or a very interesting bike ride across the beach.

The hotel is in a quiet area around 10-15 mins walk from town but it has its own tricycles and can drive guests to/from town. Rooms are quite basic but spacious. The restaurant has a beautiful view on the beach. It is not possible to swim in that area because the beach is rocky. Staff is generally helpful Overall pleasant stay but overpriced

The place has a very nice view of the other island if you choose it on your booking. Beach is a bout few feet from the balcony. Can hear waves at night .Clean comfortable , has AC and electric fan in the room. Very nice people . The place is about 15-20 min walk to the main strip for eating and strolling around. It is only accessible by a small tricycle for the road is very narrow going there.

Plus: stunning views; nice cottages; A/C; Drawbacks: Must walk a mile (or tricycle) on wild dog path (1 bit my partner)

The room was really nice and clean with a balcony that had great views out to the sea. Some other rooms didn't have any views though. Our toilet didn't flush. The staff were helpful. Breakfast is included and is ok thought a bit simple. The location is nice and peaceful away from the main town of El Nido although could be a bit of a trek every time you want to go out for food or do an activity. There is a tricycle service for 50php each way to the end of the road. The hotel seems to be missing a trick by not having a bar or restaurant. They have a breakfast area with tables and chairs overlooking the sea but they don't serve any drinks or anything except at breakfast.
