Wonderful

A very frindly Staff right from checkin.
We arrived very early and still were let in our very comfortable room. The hotel is right on the beach and has a great pool and restaurant with full bar with great staff and chef.
Gamey was our favorite bar tender and Chef Jerry is an amazing Chef. His Giant Roasted Squid is a work of Art and he is very personable and spent a long time talking with Us.
Minnie who is in charge of Personell and obviously hires great staff was very kind to us as well.
Our thanks to all and Sincerely

Exceptional service from the shuttle, to the greeting upon arrival to all front desk staff, our stay was exceptional. The staff was accommodating to helping book excursions to anything we needed each staff was attentive. We came from a hotel in Makati and the service we received here surpasses all the hotels we have stayed at in the Philippines. We love the convenience of the close proximity to Lio beach and the restaurants. We cannot wait to return!
Lio beach is the perfect place to stay in El Nido. Huni is very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was just okay. Not a huge selection but not bad food. But everything else is great. Laundry service is by weight which made it quite inexpensive to do a load. Would come back
Arrived at 2:30 and told we could not check in for another 30 minutes as the room was not “ready” - it was apparent that nothing was being done to the room. We were just being made to wait.
Towels were limited - no hand towels or face towels provided. It was comical that on the last night room keeping decided to give us face towels!
Room floor felt dirty and sticky, like it had not been mopped or washed properly.
Swimming pool water looked murky so we did not swim in it.
Breakfast was pretty poor - bugs were crawling in the salad, when we told staff they didn’t seem interested and never replaced it! (Unbelievable). Options were not the greatest and there was ONE Salt and Pepper pot for the entire restaurant (what a joke!) so you had to wait for a table to finish using it before you could. Scrambled eggs were always cold.
Great location to a beautiful beach and the beds are comfortable. Wouldn’t stay here again, will book Seda Lio next time.

Staff and services were all good.. too bad we cannot use the pool. It was okay to swim (as told) but uncomfortable because the water was murky.
We enjoyed the secluded oceanfront setting amid palm groves and the big relaxing pool. The property is 5 minutes from the airport, yet the few AirSWIFT propeller planes that come and go can’t be heard. El Nido Town (tour boat launch point) is under two miles away (which is a plus if you don’t like noise and hustle and bustle). There is only one restaurant with a limited menu at the hotel, but there are many more in walking distance along the beach. We would stay at Huni Lio again, but hope that the bathrooms will be updated in the meantime.
This is a lovely hotel positioned beautifully on the beach front. The staff are warm, friendly and very helpful. The room was well appointed and clean.
One area they could improve on is the food. The breakfast lacks choice, so we went shopping to the local markets to buy food for breakfast. Our one and only lunch, we were appalled at the quality of what we paid a lot for. Mine was a thin sliver of inedible over fried fish with one limp lettuce leaf and a bun that slowly turned to mush. We gave and most of it to a passing stray dog who enjoyed it more than I did. The staff in the kitchen and waiters were lovely and helpful.
Apart from the confronting culinary challenges this place is lovely
I liked the fact that there were a lot of restaurants within walking distance so we really never had to go out of the area to go to the town center. Everything we needed could be obtained from within the premises, or, within a short walk.
What I didn't like is that there is no carpeting or grass after you wash down your feet/water shoes after coming from the beach. So most of the time, the hallways was wet, still had some sand left over from the shoes and this was brought all the way to our room.
The stay is definitely worth the money. The hotel is close to the airport and in a quiet area that's far enough from the noise of the city. They can arrange transport vans up till 10pm for 1000 pesos per ride or you can ride 3-person tuk tuks for 300 pesos per ride to get to the city. It's a 20-25 minute drive to the city so plan accordingly. Special shout-out to all the housekeepers, especially Jonny for the incredible hospitality and making sure that my laundry was done early before my flight.
The location of the hotel is fantastic. Amenities are good, staff are helpful and respectful.
I only have a small critique which is the left over food, plates and used cutlery were not cleared immediately which resulted to the infestation of ants and insects.
But overall good experience.
