It's quite noisy location- dogs, roosters, tricycles on the main road are keeping constant noise level, but it's nothing impossible to cope with. Only thing we didn't like was the light in the room- too cold, so no real issues for the price you pay. Other than that our best stay in ElNido with the most modern (for Phillis), most efficient and quiet air-con (had a fan also).
Nice building, nice room, nice balcony with partial sunset view (we had deluxe on top floor), Great and dedicated staff (especially the singing cleaning lady), clean rooms, great beds, no internet (as almost everywhere in ElNido), one of the best places to eat in town just next doors. Change light bulbs, add more of water pressure, a small fridge and larger wardrobe and this would be a top hotel. It actually did match what you see in pictures.
Definitely would stay here again- our second best stay in three weeks in Phillis, just after a start at resort.
