Sophias Beach Guest House

Great location. Away from the hectic of El Nido town, and therefore quiet, but still very close by and easy to get to by tricycle. Great bars and restaurants close by. Right at the beach. You can rent a kayak and snorkel and kayak to Seven Commando Beach. Staff was super friendly. Always smiling and happy to help whenever. Breakfast was basic but good and convenient to have at the accommodation. Airconditioning worked well but was quite noisy.

The location was great, right on the beach and just outside of the main town but so close to the lovely sunset bars along that way like in one photo. If you want to do boat day trips this is the perfect place to be as most boats depart from this beach. The place looks much better and charming than in the photos and we were very pleasantly surprised as we didn’t have any particular expectations. It was nice having breakfast overlooking the bay. The atmosphere in the evening with the lights and the big swing at the front was lovely and peaceful. The bed was good quality and there was always hot water to shower. Good size rooms and cupboard with desk and kettle for tea and coffee. The stuff is very friendly and accommodating, you can arrange all your tours, transport and bike rental with them. The breakfast is very good with good choice that you need to choose the night before. All in all we were very pleased with our choice.

The location is dreamy. The hotel is located right at the beach. Whenever you feel like cooling down in the sea, all you need to do is walk 10 metres to the water. It’s located within walking distance to the centre of El Nido. Getting to the airport is really convenient: there are plenty of tricycles waiting to drive you for 400PHP. There are a lot of good restaurants and bars within walking distance as well. The sunsets are just so lovely to watch from the beach or from the terrace of the house. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. There is a possibility to use snorkeling gear and a kayak for free. You can also rent a scooter for an affordable price. The breakfast is varied and the taste is good. Nothing crazy and the portions are a bit small, but it’s certainly not bad. As a European couple used to Western living standards, we really loved our stay at Sophia’s and would certainly recommend it!

The property is on the beach in El Nido, rooms are clean and the AC is working just fine. We had only breakfast on the upper terrace which was good and the coffee super tasty! They offer facilities such as: booking boat tours and transfers from Puerto Princesa to El Nido (by a mini shared van) and also we had 2 island hopping tours ( we choose A and D tours). The staff is super kind and very helpful so they checked upon us to see if everything was all right because we had to arrive from PPS to El Nido by van which took us 5 hours. We appreciate it very much. Reception also open during night and they offer us free bottled water! A big plus! Thank you.

The location is wonderful as it’s right on the beach you couldn’t get any closer. It looks like you are going to walk into the water as you exit the front door. The location suited us as it was out of the main town, which you can reach in a tricycle for 100 Pesos in 5 minutes. We planned to stay in El Nido for 3 nights and we had to go into the main town for our second night as Sophia’s was full. The receptionist staff offer of very warm and friendly welcome. Our room was large with two double beds, which were really comfortable. We had three pillows each which was a real treat and the linen smelt lovely. The room also had a small hanging wardrobe, television tea and coffee making facilities and air-conditioning unit as well as complementary towels for the beach. The bathroom was clean we had complementary shower gel and shampoo the shower was electric so the power is never brilliant, but it was more than adequate to wash my hair, it was warm and had a decent spray. Our inclusive breakfast consists of several choices between Continental and Filipino this is served from 7 am until 10 am. We asked about a packed breakfast and this is also possible if you are leaving early to go diving. Although there is no restaurant here but you have breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the beach, which is a beautiful start to the day. They do offer snacks to purchase in the reception area as well as a chiller with some cold drinks to purchase.
