Villa Aniani

We had an amazing stay at Villa Aniani! The entire team was incredibly accommodating and flexible, especially with all the changes we had to make with our bookings. They were always willing to assist and address any concerns we raised throughout our stay. Ate Eva is very accommodating and gave us great recommendations on how to move around town. Power interruptions are quite common in El Nido, according to the locals, so we were really glad that Villa Aniani had a generator. During our 8-day stay, there was one time when the power went out, but we didn’t experience any disruption to our work because of the backup power. Starlink Wi-Fi was great! The bed is spacious and very comfortable, especially after a long day of touring between islands. Beyond the clean rooms, spacious kitchen, and comfortable room sizes, we really appreciated the desk and chairs that were perfect for working, especially for travelers like us who work while on the road. Villa Aniani provided us with the comfort, convenience, and peaceful environment we needed, and truly made our stay in El Nido feel like home. We will definitely stay here again when we come back, especially when we return with our family! Highly recommended! ❤️

“Comfortable Stay with Some Drawbacks and Lacks Standout Features”

The staff were warm and attentive, checking each day if we wanted a room cleaning. Since my partner and I had just married, they kindly decorated our room and welcomed us with cake and wine, which was a thoughtful touch. A simple breakfast of eggs, bread, and fruit is available in the self‑contained shared kitchen if you’re willing to cook the eggs and/or cut the fruit yourself, but the kitchen is outdoors so we didn’t use it much because of bugs. The accommodation sits in a quieter part of the island, yet it’s only a 10‑15 min drive from the main town area, and getting there is easy and cheap if you hire a moped or motorbike. While the stay wasn’t uncomfortable, there’s nothing particularly special about the place (no pool or special room features) to justify the relatively high daily rate. Overall, the accommodation feels a bit overpriced for what it offers. It seemed rushed in its initial build, with no owner or main property manager around during our stay, suggesting a lack of care, but the cleaner and staff team were present and everyone communicated via WhatsApp. There is some noise from a nearby karaoke spot, but we slept through it, though it’s more noticeable in rooms closer to the road. The room lighting lacks detail and there’s no closed wardrobe space. Bugs are plentiful in the area, and some can get into rooms; the property supplies insect killer, and it’s worth asking staff to spray the room with bug spray while you’re out during the day to reduce mosquito bites. You’ll also see gecko lizards on the exterior walls, which may not suit everyone. The location is in a newer, quieter part of the island; renting a moped or bike is recommended, as tricycles are less frequent here. There are more tricycles around the McDonald’s area, about a 25‑minute walk away; if you’re patient you can still catch one passing by, but it can take a while. Lastly, it was a bit disappointing that there’s no proper staff office or resting space, meaning staff work long hours without a dedicated area, something that could have been better considered in the initial design.

The rooms were clean and spacious, refreshed, and the common lounge‑kitchen was available.

The bed was comfortable, they provided eggs, drinks, and other breakfast items, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. There was no water pressure in the shower, the water was yellowish and didn’t feel clean, the kitchen was outside so there were mosquitoes and bugs, the location was not close to the center or beaches, and there was neighborhood noise.
