Balai Adlao

Loved the balai adlao! It's absolutely adorable and oh-so convenient from the airport. The simplicity of the hotel design and the beautiful plants at the entrance made it even more charming.

Disappointed with my hotel room patio experience. Lots of small biting bugs that managed to find their way inside the room and bed, making it hard to sleep peacefully. Hope the hotel can address this issue soon!

Balai Adlao Hotel is a fantastic base for exploring El Nido. The location is excellent on Lio Beach, just steps from restaurants and within walking distance of the airport. There’s a convenient motorcycle rental right outside the hotel, which allowed us to easily visit nearby spots like Corong Corong Beach, Nacpan Beach, and Duli Beach. Comfortable, central, and super convenient for getting around—highly recommend for anyone visiting El Nido!

Excellent location (to beach & airport)Drop off service Hospitality

Poor room amenities (dryer, comb, no door in shower space)Under renovation (no gym & pool)

This was the best hotel we stayed at in the Philippines. From the super friendly and helpful staff, to the location, amenities, cleanliness.From the moment you go there the staff will welcome you in a very heartwarming way. The beach which is 1min walk from the hotel is one of the most beautiful and peaceful ones.

Nothing, it was impeccable.

Clean roomHotel is located right on the beachNearby restaurantsVery easy access to the airport

Very hard mattress Little natural light in the roomNo light in or near the closet Drinking water had to be ordered from housekeeping

Close to beach and restaurants. Room was good, staff extremely courteous and helpful to our needs.

Breakfast nice Great Location Staff very friendly

Relatively Expensive for what you get Very Small rooms with basic amenities Bathrooms uninspiring Need fans at reception and in room

The tropical architecture, cleanliness, the staff were excellent. The complimentary activities were awesome! We had a great time and will make sure to visit again.

Breakfast was limited and pricey

Courteous staff friendly atmosphere and warm greeting by every staff

The staff were very accommodating when I wasn't well from something we eat or drink. They send a doctor to our room to attend to me.

I think it would be better if the restaurant downstairs is open so that we don't have to go to the other hotel for breakfast

it is located in lio which has a good beach view

the floor is so sticky and there is no free bedroom slipper.

Staffs were very accommodating and very polite. Location is the best, beachfront and very private. We’ll definitely come back.

The place is clean and aesthetically pleasant. The food options are great.

The resort didn’t have proper contact number to call to. Tried to call the number registered on the app but it’s not working. Also, it seemed that the bookings made thru the app are last prioritized - we were 4 couples who booked at the hotel. I booked first thru booking.com and the other 3 booked thru their website directly. During check in I was told the hotel is booked hence I was moved to their other hotel.

A bit far from the port but the Lio Beach itself is enough for us to keep staying there. There're a few restaurants in the same area too. The room is clean. Does not have a swimming pool in this hotel, will not recommend it if you have kids. The hotel can arrange airport pickup and that's convenient!

The shower will always be big and small water if shower with hot water. The breakfast buffet is served with minimal food, but that's ok.

Location is great, right on the beach. The area is quiet but with everything needed around the hotel (good restaurants, bars, drug store, ATM). Staff is great, very polite and arranging. Front desk helped us to rent motorbikes by having them delivered to the hotel.

Room could be slightly more clean, the floor in particular that didn’t seem to be properly vacuumed. Plumbery issue one day with no hot water. The issue was very quickly fixed after we reported it and hotel offered us a free transfer to our next hotel in town (300 php) to compensate.

Good location. Breakfast was delicious regardless of the large selection. Wifi works fine.

The climate was a bit smelly and there was mold on it. It would be worth cleaning them more often. The staff was often not there at the reception, so the check-out was not easy either, as the lady was not there at the agreed time and I immediately informed her of the early check-out. Because of this, we almost missed the plane but with the help of the guard we finally managed to solve the problem.

staffs are so friendly, so much to do in lio property

i did not like the selection of food

Free airport shuttleClose to Lio beachRecent accommodation, good shower, quiet airconQuiet areaEarly checkin (at 1 pm)Friendly staff

Overpriced compared to other El Nido accommodationBreakfast had to be taken in a neighboring hotelExtra charge for cappuccino at breakfastLimited restaurants in the area (at least during our post-corona stay in Mar-22)Recent resort area, it all feels a bit artificial (personal opinion)Slight sewer smell from the bathroom

The stuff and the free activities

That there is no pool

Perfectly located next to the hotel and on the beach!
