El Nido Mahogany Beach

We had an incredible five days and four nights at Mahogany Beach Resort. The team were warm, attentive, and friendly, and had memorized our coffee order by the end. When unforeseen circumstances meant we arrived late at night, they accommodated us without question and made check-in easy and stress free. Because it's a small resort, the stay felt intimate and relaxing. We never had to wait for a pool lounger or a table on the beach. The food and drinks were unreal, and the daily 2-for-1 happy hour is not to be missed. The menu has a good mix of Western and Filipino options, and you have to try the eggs Benedict. The front desk can arrange tours, rides into town or to local beaches, and spa treatments. The team were informative and helped make our El Nido trip the mix of adventure and beach time we wanted. The onsite massage was the best I've ever had, very reasonably priced, and available to book at short notice. We liked being just outside town, since downtown gets busy and loud at night. I highly recommend the resort and will definitely stay again. Huge thanks to everyone for making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We stayed for two days and nights, and would have stayed longer if it hadn't been booked out. The service was awesome, and the staff were really friendly. The WiFi was good, water pressure strong, and the pool beautiful. Best of all was the food: we had such great meals, and the Breakfast Croissants were exceptional. The hotel manager is a Frenchman, by the way, haha. Highly recommended.

The area was so calm, and the hotel itself is lovely. We only stayed one night and wished we'd had longer. They arranged a special dinner for New Year's Eve, which made the evening such fun. The staff were really friendly, too. I'd happily recommend it if you want somewhere peaceful that's still close to el nido.

We were really looking forward to staying at the Mahogany Hotel, but unexpected typhoons and heavy rain at the end of November meant we had to cancel our trip. We cancelled three weeks ahead, yet the hotel refused to refund us despite the exceptional weather. They don't offer even a partial refund within two months of the reservation date, so I wouldn't recommend booking here.
