Lihim Resorts

Gorgeous resort in a more private, quiet spot in front of the el nido bay area. Still close to El nido town however will need to use a boat or car from the resort to get into town. Alternatively you can rent a bike from the resort for the day to explore which we find quite easy and affordable. I love how peaceful and beautiful the design of the villas are. All the staff are so friendly and all know your name. Felt like a very exclusive resort where you tend to find more couples at this resort than families or kids. You get a 24 hr butler assigned to you who looks after you your whole stay, anything you need you can just message them and they organise for you. We had Ching and Jude look after us for our 3 nights there. They were both so helpful, friendly and really responsive. If we needed anything it was organised straight away. Our butler delivered a plate of filipino small desserts every night which was such a nice touch. Along with other complimentary items in our stay we got free airport transfers, complimentary 30 min massage, Buffett breakfast every morning, bottle of wine and Fruits. This resort is so comfortable and enjoyable stay for relaxing.

The staff were amazing, very eager to help and do everything they could to make your stay memorable. Hanah, our butler, was very attentive and made the stay extra special. The best part about the resort was Henri’s, at the very top of the hill. They should emphasize that you should go up to the sun deck bar for the sunset view, and also that there is a pool guests can use. We only wish we had known about Henri’s earlier. The restaurant itself was also very high quality and reasonably priced for the level of service, view, and food quality.

The food was very delicious always. The staff is very professional and very polite. I will have to say the best part about my stay and what made me stay an extra night are my two butlers Anne and Jessica. They are the best at what they do, they are amazing and should be given a higher rank or raise. I loved them like crazy and very very professional and caring to my needs. My hats off to them. If anyone wants to go to this resort, request these two girls, absolutely the gems of the resort.

Breakfast was good but not great. Service and friendliness of staff and their training was first class. The food was too heavy with insufficient light choices or there needed to be greater selection in the light choices such as fruit, yoghurt, cereals, etc. Butler service was attentive and very responsive and super friendly. If anything the WhatsApp communication was a little too much; you kept feeling you had to keep referring to your phone which is not the purpose of a vacation in my book. The outdoor bar at Henri's was superb as was the spa treatment at Panari Spa

The location was perfect. The view, private pool, and staff were highlights of the trip. That plus the privacy. We rarely saw other guests if we didn’t want to.
