This was an absolutely stunning place. I was not paying attention to the fact that it is not in El Nido proper, so I didn't get enough time to actually enjoy it, but I do highly recommend staying here if a hideaway cabin literally on the beach and away from civilization is what you are looking for
Location was significantly distant (approximately 3 hours from the city)
Service/product quality did not meet expected standards
Requesting a refund due to unsatisfactory experience
If you are looking for a quite place to spend few days surrounded by nature in front of the beach and away from the crowds of El Nido, this is your place.
I came here manly because of diving with manta rays. This very simple Filipino style hotel is placed in between the only two scuba diving shops in the area. If you look for luxury, don't come here. You only will find simple rooms in front of the beach surrounded by nature with a delicious local run restaurant.
The a/c rooms are larger than the fun room I stayed in. But for my backpack standards, the room was good enough for a couple of diving days.
In SibaltĂĄn gibt es derzeit nicht viel Auswahl an UnterkĂŒnften und Floresita's war die einzige, die man online buchen konnte. Nach der Buchung wurde uns auch die Organisation eines Shuttleservices angeboten (dies nutzten wir dann fĂŒr die Abreise). Die Spuren der Pandemie sind leider noch in ganz SibaltĂĄn und somit auch in der Unterkunft spĂŒr- und sichtbar, aber die Gastgeberfreundlichkeit von Myra und Co. machen das schnell wett. Die Bungalows sind sehr einfach einfach eingerichtet und ca 12 qm groĂ. FĂŒr Backpacker geeignet.
Pro:
- super Essen
- direkt am Strand
- Hilfsbereitschaft
- leistungsstarker Ventilator (gibt auch Bungalows mit Air Conditioner)
- kein LĂ€rm von Baustellen
- Mosiktonetz am Bett
- eigenes Badezimmer im Bungalow
- FrĂŒhstĂŒck inbegriffen (bei unserer Buchung): hierfĂŒr gibt es keine Speisekarte, sie zaubern dir das, was du wĂŒnschst im Filipino-Stil :)
- warme vegetarische Speisen waren soooo lecker!
- der Restaurant-/ Verweilbereich ist ĂŒberdacht und hat wirklich WohlfĂŒhlcharakter. Tolle Naturmöbel.
- wir zu einem Karaokeabend eingeladen und das war richtig lustig! :)
Contra:
- Strom nur von 6 pm - 6 am (Pandemie)
- Wasser nicht wirklich klar (Pandemie)
- Betten etwas klein
- viele Ameisen
- kein WiFi (auch nicht mit SmartBro)
Preis-Leistung-VerhÀltnis: 8,5 von 10
(Wir hatten 1 Nacht gebucht und sind am nĂ€chsten Tag fĂŒr 2 NĂ€chte in die besser bewertete Unterkunft nebenan gezogen. Nach der ersten Nacht dort sind wir wieder zurĂŒck zu Floresita's!!!)
We had a nice Stay at Floresitaâs. The resort is on the beachfront of quiet Sibaltan town, about 1 hour from El Nido town. The view is nice and there are benches, hammocks and chairs on the beach. However you have to walk far to swim as the tide is low. The huts were basic and small (only bed and bathroom with no door) but fine for their purpose of only sleeping there at night. This place is perfect for resourceful travellers who want to experience âsimple life/campingâ experience. Electricity at night, no wifi when we were there and barely any network. It felt good to disconnect! However you might want to plan your next destination before you get there! The staff was friendly and helpful to some extent, especially for scooter rental as well as arranging our transport to and from the resort. The included breakfast was simple but good. We overall had a positive experience and would stay there again.
The staff is absolutely amazing. I literally felt like family being there. They are wonderful. The room was clean and the property was beautiful. If you want a place to relax and get away this is it. At night the waves hitting the beach were peaceful. They have several different options of rooms and have a magnificent view of the beach. I will return. The staff really make this place one of a kind. I literally felt like I was leaving family.
Lovely, tranquil place away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido. Located right on the beautiful long beach, 5 minutes walk to Sibaltan village for some basic shopping. Delicious meals served directly in the property. We opted for island hopping tour - definitely worth doing, different atmosphere and sights than the ones organized in El Nido (which are worth it too!). Very relaxing stay in stylish huts made of natural materials.
Great secluded place. The staff were great and very helpful =)
They have free breakfast, the restaurant is open into the evening.
Great place to disconnect and chill.
Be aware though that this is in Sibaltan, the east side of El Nido.
They have their own tours, but if you want to do the tours in the "main" part of El Nido, the west side, it's a 1 hour van ride.
Its a great place to switch off and just focus on relaxing and enjoy your vacation. Their food is really good. The staff are wonderful. Their customer service is excellent. They really know how to take care of their guest.
We had a great stay here! We chose to stay in a tent to save money and were very pleased to find that it was set up right on the beach. The island tour they offer is also a great value compared to those in El Nido. There were only 6 people on our boat and the price includes lunch.
Floresitas is a perfect place if you want to tune out and just read a book or get some rest.Prepare for no internet! Its a very calm place far away from eveything else... A friendly family managing the resort takes care of everything you need, not far from the place at the beach you find more restaurants.
We spent 5 days there and could have stayed forever, the "far away from everything" feeling there was exactly what we wanted.
