Stunning Republic

Stunning spots for sunset/sunrise very accommodating staff and they have free paddle board where you can use it anytime as long as you will put it back after 🙂

Lovely breakfast included. Nice staff. Cleaning good, but they dont clean during weekends i think, but we changed the towels. Really comfy pillows and bed! 10 min walk to corong corong. 20 min walk to vanilla beach or 3 mins in tricykle, nice location. Wifi is a little off.

The room was ok , clean and comfortable....just lacking in the some of the basics....i.e....coffee and/or tea making facilities and a mini fridge/bar..

What was lacking in the actual facility (see below) was made up for by the incredible staff at Stunning Republic BR. Booking transportation and day excursions was a breeze, and the breakfast was top-notch (both Filipino and American Style). You order from a menu but can mix and match. Typhoon “Tito” hit El Nido when I was there. I can’t think of a better place to weather the storm - the building was solid, staff were always conscious of guests’ safety and comfort, everyone was updated on storm conditions, flights, etc. In the midst of heavy winds and rain, the staff made breakfast and hand delivered it (running across the open area in poncho’s) to residents. The pot of coffee was no small task since the power was out! After the typhoon passed, staff cleared fallen trees, debris, broken glass immediately. In the evening, they prepared a special meal for guests with food provided to them - it’s a breakfast only resort but most restaurants were closed. SRBR is a dated resort with basic amenities. My second floor room had a great ocean view and balcony. The dining area is covered but open air and has fabulous sunset views. The beach is very small. The area around the hotel is safe - a short walk to many restaurants, massage, tour bookings and shops. The rooms - our group had three - were dated, run-down furniture, comfortable beds, and everything worked (shower, tv, plugs). I missed having a small fridge and hair dryer. Many thanks to the staff for EVERYTHING !!

The world was very very small. There was no place to hang clothing in no drawers. I had no bedside lamps and only fluorescent lights in the ceiling. The pictures and listing are not accurate. They certainly did not have free seaside cabanas or gardens. There were only three lounge chairs and beach in front of the hotel.The towels were stained with bleach. There was no shelf in the bathroom to put anything. There was no security and the public could walk through the center of the hotel from the beach to the street. The one thing going for it was that it was right on the beach where you could see beautiful sunsets. The breakfast was included and it wasn't too bad. Also it was relatively inexpensive at $58 us.
