Magnificent view of Cadlao island in front of the resort. We stayed at a deluxe room during our first night but gave us a discount price paying only the rate of a standard room. Staff were very accommodating, courteous and always smiling to guests, (which I really love about staying in a hotel.) Rooms are clean, what you see from... More

The staff was quite helpful when I made my reservations. They did not asked for a deposit and even reminded me about it a week before our arrival. I love the place. It felt quite homey. The guests are always outside enjoying the hammocks and the chairs by the beach. It is very close to the beach and the town... More

El Nido is perhaps the most beautiful beach spot in the world. After about 10 days or so of touring the Philippines our feet landed in El Nido. We instantly fell in love with the area and the people. We chose Marina Garden as it is dead center on the beach. Great beach restaurants run up and down both sides... More

The resort is in front of the police station. The beach front has a lot of rowdy drunk tourist. Not a safe place to bring kids even its in front of the police station. Its near the local market area. No privacy and we doubted the security. Stay at the more expensive resort. El Nido is way Over rated! Only... More

Marina Garden Beach Resort is conveniently located near restaurants, police station and souvenir shops. The rooms are small but with basic amenities like hot & cold showers, television and ac. Breakfast is good. I don't recommend swimming at their front beach though since a lot of tour boats are anchored there, hence, compromising the quality and cleanliness of the beach... More
