    This was one of the best hostels i’ve stayed at- i found it really easy to meet people with all the activities held, the restaurant downstairs was great and the bunk was comfortable. I found once my door was closed I could hardly hear anything. The crew were always willing to point me in the direction of a good time and James was particularly fantastic and i really owe him for providing such a wonderful experience:)

    The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

    The hotel is in a great location, nearby lots of restaurants and cafes. There is a hostel next door which is a great place to book trips and meet new people. The rooftop bar and restaurant has a stunning view of the islands and the food is fantastic. The bed was very comfy. Wifi connection was very good and had no issues with the AC. Vanilla beach is just a short tuk tuk ride away.

    One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

    Beachfront location. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Provided lots of information for the island hopping tours (which I also highly recommend) Nice and budget friendly place. Location is basically on the beach and next door to great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend Aqua Travel Lodge for a cheap stay, close to everything you would want during a trip to El Nido!
