Happiness Boutique Resort El Nido

Llegué a este complejo sin muchas expectativas ya que la calificación de Tripadvisor era solo <4,0. Este era el complejo que reservó mi primo, así que tuve que reservar el mismo alojamiento. ¡Pero he aquí! Me impresionaron mucho los interiores de inspiración boho, la tranquilidad del ambiente y el ambiente íntimo del lugar. Nos recibió Vlad, el director del complejo. Fue muy servicial y llevó nuestro equipaje a la habitación. El personal también fue igualmente cálido y sorprendente. Una de mis partes favoritas de mi viaje a El Nido fue trabajar en mi computadora portátil en su restaurante. Me encantó la música que se escuchaba allí y el ambiente relajante mientras trabajaba. La ducha me pareció interesante ya que estaba abierta y sin puerta. Sólo tengo dos comentarios. En primer lugar, la iluminación de la habitación estaba un poco oscura para mi gusto y, en segundo lugar, el personal se tomó un tiempo para preparar nuestro desayuno a pesar de haberlo pedido la noche anterior. En general, fue una experiencia agradable alojarse en Blue Mango Rooms and Villas.

This place is fine if you’re on a budget, however the hotel has a few cats and dogs that they don’t take care of. They are super sweet, but very neglected and forced to scavenge to survive. They rely on kind guests (not all guests are kind) and neighboring resorts to feed their animals. It is heartbreaking and I wouldn’t stay here again for this reason. Take responsibility for your animals!

Blue Mango Resort is situated in Brgy. Corong Corong, the entrance is quite subtle, so you might not even see it if you’re driving fast. If you pay attention, you’ll see a lush path leading you to the restaurant. As you enter, it’s like you’re inside a jungle paradise, you’re surrounded with nature while you dine in for breakfast or lunch. Light peaking from every corner, it’s aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The hotel is quite small & intimate like a loft type home. The second floor is where the rooms are. You will still have the view of the restaurant from the door of your room, so everything is quite open. I haven’t stayed in one of the rooms but what I can review is the food & service. I love the staff! They’re all so friendly & accommodating. They even remember me from my visits before. For the menu, I love that they have a wide range of food options— I’m pescatarian. I’m happy with the food & the serving!

We didn’t stay here but we did eat breakfast here a few days, I loved the breakfast and felt it was the best we’d had in the three weeks we’ve been travelling the Philippines. We did check out the rooms as we though we might stay on in El Nido and the rooms do look lovely too. Friendly and helpful staff, but be prepared to wait a bit for your food, it is worth it though.

What an incredible experience at the Bluemango hotel. The staff was genuinely what made the difference - caring and super helpful recommending restaurants and things to do in El Nido. My friends and I got a very bad food poisoning during our stay in El Nido and the staff was so supportive, checking in on us regularly and pampering us really. We were offered medicines, extra blankets and late check outs to help get us better! Personally I also had an inconvenient accident with a sea urchin (ouch!) and they provided me with hot water and vinegar twice a day to help me heal fast - all while having a big smile and such a friendly attitude. The food there was also really tasty. We tried the Filipino breakfast choices as well as more international dishes and everything was delicious. The room was spacious, clean and the air conditioning works properly. I totally recommend this place!

I booked this hotel for 4 days based on the beautiful images and reviews but when I arrived I instantly wanted to leave. The hotel is not located in corong town, its based outside of it which means a long walk down a main road, which at night is terrifying due to the traffic. The sea views that are advertised are non existent due to the overgrown garden that sits central to the hotel. Also don't expect a path down to the beach... There isn't one. Thirdly, no breakfast included and quite frankly the menu is dire... No real choice and the prices are expensive for what there is. Our room was meant to be rustic looking but instead it was dark and dingy and the toilet smelt. Electricity on the island can be hit and miss but all hotels have a generator but this hotel switches theirs off to "rest", more likely to save fuel costs. So no Internet, hot water or lighting in your room. We walked down the beach and found better hotels for cheaper so demanded our money back.. Thankfully we got a full refund and quickly left to move into a stunning hotel in the actual town... Don't waste your money here, go to the eco lodge in corong Town.. You will be much happier.
