Buena's Haven Travelodge

I couldn't shower because the shower water smelled like iron. The iron smell was so strong that I couldn't even brush my teeth. I booked a 3 night stay but only slept for 1 night and had no choice but to go to another hotel. The toilet water is red too. It also smells bad.I booked 3 nights. I requested a refund for 2 days, excluding one day because I slept there.No answer.It's really bad.I had a great trip but it was ruined. I spent twice as much money.

The hotel with 8 rooms is located on the main road in El Nido. The rooms are normal in size, some things need repair, for example, our bathroom door opened with great effort and one day the door lock broke. The air conditioner and fan work well. Hot water from solar panels, sometimes it flows well, sometimes it barely. Nearby there is an Italian restaurant, shops, a pharmacy, an exchange office, a direct passage to the beach (the beach itself is not very good, either very shallow, or at high tide there is no beach sand at all). There is a kitchen downstairs, but it is for the staff, probably we wanted to cook shrimp, they charged us 100 pesos for this. You can use the refrigerator for free. And the biggest minus: the frames in the windows are metal, 100% audibility, the windows overlook the chicken coop! This means that from three in the morning until six in the evening you will listen to the crowing of roosters and the clucking of hens, non-stop. If you are a light sleeper, then choose another hotel. Without exaggeration, it is simply impossible to sleep normally.

The hotel is located in the middle of the route to the beaches of El Nido, it is very convenient. In front there is a direct pass to the beach and a very good restaurant with international and local food at affordable prices. Each floor has a free-to-use seating area with coffee and hot water to chat with friends. Smoking is not allowed inside the hotel, a constant in many hotels in El Nido. The bathroom facilities are a bit rustic, old and the water of poor quality at night (yellow color) but the water pressure and the shower with hot water were no problem. In the mornings there is a bustle of animals, roosters and chickens and singing birds. If you are not fussy about these details and are looking for a comfortable hotel, this is the place. Detail, there is no elevator. If you have a lot of suitcases it can be difficult but the service guys will help you load them. Rooms facing the street are the best, with a balcony and table and chairs for conversation.

This was my first visit to Palawan Island, and I took a minibus Toyota Hiace from Puerto Princesa to El Nido for 4 and a half hours on a winding mountain road.I applied for a tour and enjoyed the wonderful sea of ​​El Nido! ️

Since it is solar powered, the power will go down at dawn or depending on the weather.
