Our stay at 89 Villas was okay. The room was definitely a little run down and the shower was always flooding.
We had no electricity and running water on our last night, which was due to a power outage in El Nido (which seemed quite common), so not really the hotels fault.
For service it was fine, the shuttle always came for us, but during the whole stay it seemed like they didn't really want us to stay there or weren't prepared for guests.
Together with the fairly steep price for the room, only 3 stars.
We had the most amazing time at Ananda House. The villa was absolutely beautiful and very luxurious. We hired a moped from the man who owns the shop at the end of road which was really helpful for getting into town, only an easy 10 minute drive. Lovely to be away from the centre of town but still very convenient location. Thank you so much
We stayed for a night at this hidden villa, and it felt like a true home away from home. The staff were incredibly kind and respectful, providing excellent service that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The food was a highlight—absolutely delicious, with a healthy breakfast offered in the morning. You can even request a floating breakfast, which added a special touch to the experience. While the villa is tucked away down a short gravel road, the peaceful and private setting made it worth the effort.
The villa is kid-friendly, but families should be cautious around the tiled swimming pool area. There’s no TV, so if you’re traveling with children, make sure their devices are charged. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi is strong and reliable. Overall, it was a lovely, relaxing stay with amazing food and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this villa for a cozy and memorable getaway.
Casalay Resort truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the amazing staff who made us feel like family. Everyone was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — we especially loved catching up with them after our daily activities. It’s those small, personal touches that made our stay so special and unforgettable.
The resort itself is a peaceful and beautiful escape — the villas are charming and surrounded by nature. Breakfast was always delicious and filling, the perfect way to start each day.
We do have a few small suggestions that might make future stays even better:
1. Blackout curtains on the villa verandas for those who like to sleep in.
2. Clothing hooks in the shower or changing rooms would be super convenient.
3. It would be great to have an option for two queen beds in rooms, especially for friends traveling together.
4. And if all villas are fully booked, we think it would be such a lovely idea for the resort to organize a long dinner or a small evening activity for all guests to connect and enjoy the evening together under the stars.
Overall, we had an amazing experience and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you again to the entire Casalay team for making our stay so warm, relaxing, and memorable. We’ll definitely be recommending your resort to our family and friends — 100% love and appreciation from us to all of you!
The villa is a 5-minute scooter/car ride from the fabulous Lio Beach, where you'll find plenty of restaurants. It's also a perfect spot to spend an afternoon or watch the sunset.
The villa features a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, gas hob, rice cooker, kettle, Nespresso machine, utensils, and dishes.
Starlink Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
The two bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, are air-conditioned and have a dressing room and a ceiling fan.
There is a standard Western-style bathroom with a hot and cold shower, sink, toilet, and toiletries.
Housekeeping and pool maintenance will be provided daily. Linens and towels will be changed every three days.
Please read the information below before booking.
The house is a 10-minute drive from El Nido town and a 5-minute drive from Lio Beach. You'll need a scooter, a car, or you can rent a tricycle or van to get around. We'd be happy to help.
Our neighbors are friendly and the neighborhood is safe. They have dogs and roosters, a common sight in the Philippines.
The pool is unsupervised and unfenced, so please do not leave children unattended and swim at your own risk.
