Lio Villas Resort

I asked for a late checkout and was initially told it would be no problem as there was nobody booked after us, but alas apparently the manager had a problem with that. I was willing to overlook problems because of the late checkout, but now I will air my grievances. The AC unit upstairs was not working, and there was no phone so I could not report this. It was pouring rain and no umbrellas so I could not go to reception. No TV in room as advertised. WIFI was VERY slow or not working at all. There was no hot water for shower. No restaurant on sight. A stinky dog hanging around lobby area. The pool was nice and so was the gentleman working reception. Will not return.

Quiet

I had an amazing experience staying at Lio Villas Resort. The place was clean, peaceful, quiet and had all the amenities guests could hope for. The staff were friendly, welcoming, helpful, polite, attentive and were very accommodating. I highly recommend this resort for anyone who wish to have an incredible experience.

Misleading photos. Property very outdated and not in the best area. Staff and hospitality was great though I did not end up staying there but the staff had pleasure in assisting me in finding a much better hotel which was very much appreciated by them.

I stayed here on August for a solo trip. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I also really loved the room that I stayed in as it was very spacious. The only concern that I had was not being given a discount when the management offered to give me one before I checked in due to the pool being not available. The reason why I booked the hotel despite the location was the pool. Would have appreciated the stay more if they processed the discount or partial refund as they promised but they didn't get back even after 3 months have gone by. Nevertheless, the best thing about the place were the staff.

We had a very good experience at the resort. The food, room, and service was excellent.

The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff, while mostly new, provided good service. However, the area was a bit inconvenient, since it was located off an unpaved road that you had to constantly rent a tricycle to get around the area. Since tric fare was a bit pricy, the costs added up. Plus, they did not have their own van to provide as transpo for guest to and from the airport.

The property does not have direct access to the beach. You need to walk say…..10-15 minutes to reach beach.

The place is nice (nice bedrooms, nice pool) and staff are nice but there are son issues they need to address. They do not accept card payments or dollars. We are in the 21st century and this in not a cheap hotel, I don’t think this is acceptable at any descent hotel. How can be possible on this days that a quality hotel does not take card payments. Also we needed to change some reservations and they said the only have incoming calls not outgoing. Im talking about local calls. Hope they fix that as well. Also the hotel is on a very bumpy road and a little far from El Nido (It has a very nice beach close by though, Lio Beach) some times tuk tuks don’t want to take you there or they charge you more. I don’t think they can do much about it. I still believe this is a nice hotel, just hope they fix this issues. Just be aware if you decide to stay.

Staff are friendly and nice. Location of the place is not that great.

It’s quiet far from civilization noise. It’s far from the city and the surrounding neighborhood is not quite impressive

It's our 1st time in El Nido and we were amazed how beautiful the place is! The people are very nice and we feel safe. The Staff at LIO VILLAS were very accomodating, very pleasant, very warm & they treat us like family! We highly recommend LIO VILLAS to everyone!

My wife and I choose the Lio Villas Resort for our vacations in El Nido. We didn’t Regret it. Charming and peaceful hôtel with a professionnal and really Nice team. Everyone made their best to answer to all of our request, to create a warm feeling, we almost felt like home ! The room was comfortable and clean,the food was good and what to say about the cocktails ! Thanks for all hope to have the chance to stay again at the Lio Villas Resort Hotel ! Madjid and Yasmina

The staff were nice and accommodating but the location was too far off from town and the food was great .

The hotel and the service from the staff was good

The place was very nice. The staff were super accomodating and very hospitable. The only issue was proximity. It was far from the town proper, appoximately 20 to 30 minutes away, and the tricycle fares were a little bit expensive (400 roundtrip). The road going to the hotel from the main road was a rough road (less than 10 minute rough road). There was a frog and a worm swimming in the pool at night. One hanger was broken and the phone wasnt working in our room. But overall, im still a happy customer.

Best hotel so far in the Philippines! Staff was lovely and very Accommodating. It’s quite far from the city but we just rented a scooter and were driving from hotel to town (so much fun!!) be careful the street is a little bumpy, but we looked forward for some adventure;) I would definitely recommend the hotel especially for couples and groups of friends maybe not the best place for single travelers however if you need some me time best place!!!

Great hotel, lovely staff and amazing food but shame about location

The staff are super friendly and helpful and the food was good enough. However, while the rooms look nice and modern, the cleanliness needs work. There was something about the bedsheets that made us itchy and I ended up waking up to a lot of bites. Not 100% sure if they were from the sheets though because my doc said they were sandfly bites, but I guess the sheets aggravated them cuz they only appeared the next day. We only stayed here for one night as well after our flight got cancelled. Getting to the hotel at night was also scary as hell, there’s hardly any street lights to begin with and google maps shows you two lio locations, one of which was wrong.

It's a really nice little resort located close to El Nido airport, about 15 minutes drive from El Nido town. Simple but comfortable native-style rooms with aircon, TV etc. Restaurant has a large menu and the food is very good. Staff are super-friendly.
