Our room was exceptional, offering a panoramic view of the ocean and plenty of space. The staff was very accommodating, although there were a few hiccups in communication. Unfortunately, my son got food poisoning from a restaurant downtown, but when I asked the hotel to make chicken broth for him, they readily obliged without any hesitation. We didn't stay much at the hotel, and mostly got our swimming and all our adventures through the excursions.

The location is at Corong-Corong Beach, which is just a tricycle ride away from downtown El Nido and Vanilla Beach, the centers of local activity. If you're looking for nightlife and want to avoid constantly paying for tricycle rides to get meals, I recommend staying at a location closer to the town center. The breakfast was complimentary and quite good, but it was à la carte. This left my husband and older sons wanting more, as they were accustomed to breakfast buffets at larger hotels.

The hotel is very beautiful : tasteful decoration, direct access to the beach and view on the beach from our room. Eventhough the pool is small it was nice to swim in it and chill on the terrasse. The exceptionnal professionnalism and niceness of the staff made us want to stay longer. They had a lot of small attentions, made sure our every needs were answered, helped us organize transferts before our arrival and upon our departure. They even prepared complimentary little sandwiches the day we left, for our travel, which was such a nice gesture. Also the restaurant was excellent (probably the best place we ate during our whole stay). Many thanks !

Very attentive staff and beautiful location, the sunsets were SO amazing. We could hear the sea every night it was very soothing. The onsite Cala restaurant was also a great dinner option, probably one of the best at El Nido we've tried! Good mix of filo & other cuisines. The owner of the hotel also owns the El Nido Yachting Club (with Speedboat tours), and another hotel at Las Cabanas Beach, check with the staff they are able to arrange.

Due to the geography of the hotel location, wi-fi signal was very poor, this didn't work out for my friend who had to take some late work calls. Sometimes the breakfast options was quite oily.

We chose the nicest room in the hotel, so the suite was pretty amazing! Huge windows from the bedroom, living room and even the shower. Very spacious and clean and the two bathrooms ended up being pretty useful. The staff were helpful and restaurant was a bit hit and miss but generally good.

Our room had a plug in perfume appliance which was so strong we were choking! We had to air out the room for an hour - however, the pillows and sheets were also cleaned a horribly strong perfumed detergent and we both struggled to sleep with it. Definitely the biggest downside and so avoidable - lots of people have allergies to these fragrances and are rarely used in Europe. The restaurant was really hit and miss. Some dishes were incredible and delicious with locally sourced fish etc. but other dishes were randomly not so well cooked and the local desert Halo Halo is to be avoided! Full of artificially coloured jellies and glacé cherry (apparently the glacé cherry is still very popular in the Philippines!!)

- The staff were all amazing and incredibly helpful, making the experience much more enjoyable. - The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a great environment to relax. - The sound of the waves at night was very soothing, contributing to a peaceful and restful sleep.

- The internet connection was very poor, which made it difficult to stay connected. - The towels and bathrobes were old, stained, and should definitely be replaced. - The pool was disappointingly small :( - There were no blackout curtains in the room, so as soon as the sun came up, the room became bright

I really love this property, with that nice cozy chill vibe, I love the decor with the distressed wood, natural, it's my kind of style. Our room was the only one with panoramic view and it was amazing to wake up to to every morning. I love the set up with the kids having their own room, bathroom and fridge with cute day bed. The main bedroom was very spacious, I mean the entire room was very roomy as well as bathrooms. And the view from the one bathroom was stunning. Food was delicious too, free breakfast was included. The property not too far from town. And the staff were super friendly. I would stay here again when I go back to El Nido. I definitely recommend this place.

I wish the bathroom with the view was designated for the masters bedroom. And I wished they had a little armoire for clothes, some rugs by the bed. The wifi was choppy and TV didn't connect properly so we couldn't use it. Pool a little too small.

The staff made it very easy for us to feel welcome, and were always accommodating. Good range of cocktails and breakfasts. Great views of the islands directly from the upstairs bar or the restaurant. Enough room to get massage beds in there too.

The Air Conditioner in the rooms could have been stronger, as it was a bit uncomfortable to sleep in during the heat. Also, the wifi could be a lot stronger too. It was difficult to get signal in the rooms (especially the bathroom where there was none) - I'd attribute it to the concrete walls.

Frangipani is the perfect balance of luxury and simplicity. Its boutique size allows them to pay attention to their guests in providing bespoke service. From its location that takes you away from bustling noise of the town into its own little astoundingly relaxing peaceful paradise to the topnotch hospitality of their staff that has been nothing short of a 5-star service. Our poolside room has been a haven inside and out — massive space, aethestic interiors, incredible view, comfortable bed, hot showers, cold AC, smells amazing and very clean. From the beginning of our booking, the communication with the hotel through Zenobia (her service was amazing all throughout!) was very easy and to the moment we left the island was made seamless by them. They made sure that we had a perfect holiday, and a perfect holiday they delivered.

Very friendly staff, easy to communicate with. Rooms were spacious, clean and modern. Airport shuttle was seamless and convenient. Breakfast was good. Staff went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. My partner accidentally dropped his phone into water and the staff provided us with a container of rice! Location is good if you don't want to be right in the centre of town.

Partner vendors recommended by hotel were more expensive than others, for example Motorbike rental and massage. This was kind of expected though, and sometimes worth the convenience and peace of mind. If you'd like to go to el nido town you will need to tricycle or Motorbike.

We had an amazing stay at Frangipani - thank you Sheryl and team for making it extra special. Great location by Coron beach and only few minutes ride away from El Nido Centre, beautiful room & delicious breakfast / food. We also really enjoyed the pool area and the company of the four legged friends that belong to the hotel. We will be back :)
