Golden Monkey Cottages offers a peaceful, waterfront setting with striking bay views, but its slightly remote, beach-access location means using a free tricycle shuttle or a 10-20 minute walk that can be difficult in rain or high tide.

Golden Monkey Cottages offers a peaceful, waterfront setting with striking bay views, but its slightly remote, beach-access location means using a free tricycle shuttle or a 10-20 minute walk that can be difficult in rain or high tide.
Staff are widely praised for warm, helpful service and free town transfers, though a few note strict no outside food rules, occasional misinformation, and one overbooking that led to an unsatisfactory move. Rooms range from basic cottages to larger units with balconies; several guests report weak or noisy air conditioning, some noise, and patchy Wi-Fi, while others find them comfortable, and occasional power or water interruptions were reported. The restaurant and bar receive many compliments for meals and simple breakfasts, though some found breakfast limited or low quality. Expect a scenic, low key stay with trade offs in access and consistency.

Very nice accomodation. Amazing food in the restaurant by a French chef. Well recommended. Just some troubles with the water pump during our stay, meaning there was no water for a few hours, but that’s part of the things that happen when travelling in a country like the Philippines and can’t really be helped. They are a little bit away from El Nido town, but provide a free tricycle to get to town and back, so that’s really not an issue.

Koselig hostel med hyggelig personale. Fantastisk utsikt og flott restaurant hetl i strandkanten. Stranda er fin, men ikke noe særlig å bade på. Veldig langgrunn og full av stein. Ligger litt kronglete til, men gratis tuktuk transport til sentrum fra 06 til 18. Enkel mat og grei frokost i porsjon

Du Unterkunft war abgelegen in einem kleinen, sehr charmanten Teil, nördlich von El Nido. Super interessant ist der Weg, da die Unterkunft (auch mit Roller und Tricicle) nur über den Strand erreichbar ist. Die Garden-View-Bungalows sind sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet, lediglich die Bäder sind etwas spartanisch. Anders bei den Beach-Front-Bungalows. Die Bäder hier sind sehr modern und haben besseren Standard als die meisten westlichen Hotels. Die Bar Anlage lädt zum sitzen und Meer genießen ein und es wurden, unüblich für El Nido, sehr gute Cocktails serviert. Eine der gemütlichsten Anlagen auf unserem Trip, auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE this place!!! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and met every expectation. The staff made sure we had "to go" breakfast on a morning that we were leaving for a private boat tour, so kind. The dinning area is incredible; we could've just sat there for hours as the view was perfect! Right on the water; so beautiful. Food was great. We walked to and from town, for us no big deal only a short walk to everything. The grounds are as clean as they could be and so beautiful with the flowers, trees, rock walkway, and little sitting areas. Our "cabin" was perfect, air conditioning worked very well, clean, and just what we needed. We would recommend this place to everyone and if ever in the area again would stay here. Thanks for such an amazing stay!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Monkey. The staff was great. The breakfast in the morning was good and filling with strong brewed coffee served by a nice girl named Vanz. There was another server, but I missed her name. The wonderful July at the desk arranged our tour and rides to the airport. Pads the tuk tuk driver was great, also helped carry our luggage to the second floor room with a great view. It’s not a high end resort, but very comfortable with a short ride or 15 minute walk into town. Beach was good for shelling. Not great for swimming. Best beach for swimming is the Corong Corong side or El Nido town.

A beautiful location on Calaan Beach, which is just an easy 5-10 minute walk into town. The cottage I stayed in was basic with just a ceiling fan, which is fine for me, with a very tropical jungle feel to the rooms. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept immaculate. The breakfast included was simple, but delicious and the view from the restaurant/bar everyone morning is memorable. Really enjoyed staying here and not in town centre. Would return on my next visit to el nido.

What a disaster…the internet sometimes works sometimes don’t. The breakfast is really low quality, the third night my new towel was smelling fish, I have no clue what they did with it before but I couldn’t even touch it. The glass in the bathroom for your toothbrush was disgusting with yellow moisture marks at the bottom, other (funny thing) one of the two glasses in the bedroom had lipstick mark on it … should I ask that they closed the whole restaurant/internet section for a whole day so that the owner could have a private Christmas party…what you need to know also is that you are 15 minutes walk from the town, after 10 pm you’ll have to walk in the dark, in the mud and even have water up to your knees to cross the sea( yes you read this write: given the high tide at night this is the only path to come back at night from the town)….

Such a great property. Staff was great, Anna was very helpful. Our room (15) was on the 3rd floor, all stairs, but the view on the balcony was beautiful. Bed was nice and firm, AC unit and ceiling fan was really good, but only thing that I had a problem with was that the shower drain was a little clogged and no one ever came up to unclog it (but that did not change my view of how nice the property was). Eating area was nice and open, but if I were to really be picky it would be all the cars that roam around the area cause I’m allergic. Another downside to the property is how to get there from the main road. A little rough but manageable. But overall I would come back and suggest it to anyone.

I booked room one, a family room, as it was the last room available at the time. I didn’t need the additional space but it was worth the additional cost for the view. There was seating and two sun beds on the deck overlooking the bay. Unrestricted water views. The hotel isn’t new, but gets five stars for the view and the excellent food.

This property is such a gem! I love how secluded and peaceful it is, away from all the noise of the town. It's also beachfront, so you can go for a dip whenever you want on the clear waters of Palawan. Since it's secluded, it's a little far from the town proper, probably a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute tricycle ride which they offer for free, just message them whenever you need a ride. Our room was at the 3rd floor which was so spacious, we had our own balcony with a hammock and the best view of the waters. Staff is amazing too, July at the front desk helped us out with everything, from van transfers to booking a massage, she was so nice and truly the highlight of our stay here. The other staff at the restaurant (breakfast and evening), and the kuyas who drove us with the tricycle are all so nice and warm andbalways very accommodating. It's free breakfast too! Only wish is for them to have more breakfast options but otherwise everything was so great. I'll stay here again in a heartbeat when I go back.

I had an amazing stay here! The staff was awesome and my accommodations were perfect. The only thing I didn’t like was the convenience of getting to and from El Nido. The hotel provided free transportation but only to the main square.

Got “upgraded” because they doubled booked with someome else so last 2 days were booked at a nearby hotel. It was a massive downgrade, checked prices, much lower than what we spent per night, room was 2/3rds smaller, smelled like mildew, dirty, air conditioner louder than a full washing machine full of trash. Dusty as all hell, no shampoo or soap, overall trash experience. This was booked 3 months prior to leaving and then we were notified to move less than 2 weeks prior to arriving. No reimbursement, and no notice of actual new hotel until literally the day of transfer, they couldnt provide the name because they probably didnt want us to see the massive downgrade to their sister company. Terrible experience, regardless if the first hotel room wasnt half bad. Terrible managing of our stay, no thanks

We love the staff service and the view of the resort. My kids loved our stay at it that they don't want to leave the place already. We fell in love with the view at the resort location. We also love the breakfast options, its free breakfast, and its free tuktuk service from/to the resort. We will definitely come back here.

Room is good and comfortable. However frequent power outage. The AC is very weak and not cold during hot weather which is most of the time. The staff has very strict rule of not being able to bring in food so if you have left overs from restaurants you cant bring it back to the hotel.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE this place!!! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and met every expectation. The staff made sure we had "to go" breakfast on a morning that we were leaving for a private boat tour, so kind. The dinning area is incredible; we could've just sat there for hours as the view was perfect! Right on the water; so beautiful. Food was great. We walked to and from town, for us no big deal only a short walk to everything. The grounds are as clean as they could be and so beautiful with the flowers, trees, rock walkway, and little sitting areas. Our "cabin" was perfect, air conditioning worked very well, clean, and just what we needed. We would recommend this place to everyone and if ever in the area again would stay here. Thanks for such an amazing stay!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Monkey. The staff was great. The breakfast in the morning was good and filling with strong brewed coffee served by a nice girl named Vanz. There was another server, but I missed her name. The wonderful July at the desk arranged our tour and rides to the airport. Pads the tuk tuk driver was great, also helped carry our luggage to the second floor room with a great view. It’s not a high end resort, but very comfortable with a short ride or 15 minute walk into town. Beach was good for shelling. Not great for swimming. Best beach for swimming is the Corong Corong side or El Nido town.

Location
Seaside and away from town; expect a 10-20 minute walk or a short tricycle ride, with a free shuttle helping. Access can be tricky via narrow paths, beach routes, rain or high tide, but the setting is quiet.

A beautiful location on Calaan Beach, which is just an easy 5-10 minute walk into town. The cottage I stayed in was basic with just a ceiling fan, which is fine for me, with a very tropical jungle feel to the rooms. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept immaculate. The breakfast included was simple, but delicious and the view from the restaurant/bar everyone morning is memorable. Really enjoyed staying here and not in town centre. Would return on my next visit to el nido.

What a disaster…the internet sometimes works sometimes don’t. The breakfast is really low quality, the third night my new towel was smelling fish, I have no clue what they did with it before but I couldn’t even touch it. The glass in the bathroom for your toothbrush was disgusting with yellow moisture marks at the bottom, other (funny thing) one of the two glasses in the bedroom had lipstick mark on it … should I ask that they closed the whole restaurant/internet section for a whole day so that the owner could have a private Christmas party…what you need to know also is that you are 15 minutes walk from the town, after 10 pm you’ll have to walk in the dark, in the mud and even have water up to your knees to cross the sea( yes you read this write: given the high tide at night this is the only path to come back at night from the town)….

Super hôtel en front de mer sur la plage, seul bémol nous avions loué une voiture et nous avons eut la désagréable surprise que nous ne pouvions accéder en voiture à celui-ci. Il faut prendre un servie gratuit de tricycle mis à disposition par l'hôtel ou une petite marche de 15 à 20 minutes pour rejoindre le centre d'El Nido. Mais cela fait également parti du charme de cet endroit une fois avertis. Sinon bungalow très propres et confortables. Excellent petits déjeuners avec une très belle vue sur les îles.

We are very happy with our stay, the view was unbelievable! win win! Free breakfast was also a plus, basic Filipino Breakfast and they do serve European Breakfast. Walking distance to the town square, and we walk along the beach to get to the town square. However, the sign on the street is so small that the tricycle driver have to ask me several times the name of the hotel which increases my suspicion if there is such a hotel or not. :) The road going to this hotel is so narrow that no car can fit, but only tricycle or motorcycle.

This property is such a gem! I love how secluded and peaceful it is, away from all the noise of the town. It's also beachfront, so you can go for a dip whenever you want on the clear waters of Palawan. Since it's secluded, it's a little far from the town proper, probably a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute tricycle ride which they offer for free, just message them whenever you need a ride. Our room was at the 3rd floor which was so spacious, we had our own balcony with a hammock and the best view of the waters. Staff is amazing too, July at the front desk helped us out with everything, from van transfers to booking a massage, she was so nice and truly the highlight of our stay here. The other staff at the restaurant (breakfast and evening), and the kuyas who drove us with the tricycle are all so nice and warm andbalways very accommodating. It's free breakfast too! Only wish is for them to have more breakfast options but otherwise everything was so great. I'll stay here again in a heartbeat when I go back.

Very nice accomodation. Amazing food in the restaurant by a French chef. Well recommended. Just some troubles with the water pump during our stay, meaning there was no water for a few hours, but that’s part of the things that happen when travelling in a country like the Philippines and can’t really be helped. They are a little bit away from El Nido town, but provide a free tricycle to get to town and back, so that’s really not an issue.
