Lovely staff and amazing location to explore El Nido. The breakfast was good with a nice view. There were a few minor imperfections with the hotel room - squeaky bed, rattling windows and grimy bathroom. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at the Aqua Lodge for a good price and would recommend.

We had a seaview and were able to extend our stay 2 times in the same room. The staff were so helpful in making this possible. We did 1 tour El Nido: Jeepney Adventure tour (booked online); a great way to see the local beaches and waterfall. We also booked 3 tours through Aqua travel lodge Tour A, B, and C. The provided towels and snorkeling gear for free, other folk had to pay to rent their gear. Bring water shoes, an absolute necessity. Note kayaking is not included in the tour price so take some money (300-500 pesos). There is sn extra environmental fee 400 pesos/person that lasts 5 days. So if you book all your tours within this time frame you don't have to pay it each tour.

Unsafe, Poorly Maintained, and Disappointing Stay

I am deeply disappointed with my stay at this hotel and feel obligated to warn others about the serious issues I encountered, especially regarding security and maintenance. The “sea view” rooms are not part of the main hotel but are located across the street, easily accessible to anyone. This wouldn’t be as alarming if the door locks weren’t so worn and unreliable. We stayed in two sea view rooms, both with major issues: - Ground-floor room: The main door handle was barely attached, feeling like it might fall off at any moment. Additionally, the sliding glass door facing the sea was flimsy and insecure. - First-floor room: This room was accessible via stairs directly from the street, and its main entrance—a sliding glass door—could be opened even when locked. I spent an entire day trapped inside until management replaced the faulty lock. To make matters worse, the bathroom in this room had a missing window, leaving a large open gap. This compromised privacy, allowed mosquitos in, and made showering uncomfortable, as anyone outside could see in. Beyond these safety concerns, the hotel was extremely noisy, but the lack of security and basic maintenance overshadowed everything. I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. It left me feeling unsafe, frustrated, and thoroughly disappointed. There are far better and safer options available.

This was a gem of a find. It is the most picturesque spot right on the beach. The street has so many food options and the staff are extremely kind and accommodating. We didn’t want to leave our little beach haven.

Veiw was great. Bathroom stunk from the drain. They really need to learn how to cook an egg. Its really not that tough to cook an egg over easy. And another little bit of info for travelers , if you plan on island hopping be perpaired to be very crowded. Each stop is 25 to 40 boats going to the same area and dropping off 300 to 600 people at the same time. A big waste of money in my opion. Go to Lio Beach its beautiful

Not fancy, but clean, great location for island tours in the morning, great breakfast balcony view, and very friendly staff. We kept our bags there during the boat tour and before moving on. But let them know if you have an early morning tour, I don't think they have a large cooking staff and they serve meals individually.
