The location boast a beautiful bay view and with just a few steps you find yourself on the Corong Corong beach. The room was spacious, with excellent AC and a good sized (for Asian standards) bathroom with hot water! The terrace area provides racks to hang your wet clothes, but the hotel also provides laundry service at a reasonable price. The staff were welcoming and accomodating, very helpful but not overbearing. The hotel is about 5-7 minutes ride from El Nido town centre and the hotel staff advised this should cost PP25 per person, but of course the drivers try to charge PP50 per person, so put your haggling skills to use!

For the price we paid, the brekfast could have been better, but it was enough to get us started for the day. During the night, groups of stray dogs roam the grounds - they are not aggressive towards people, they come to raid the bins, but can be loud while they figure out their hierarchy. Despite this, we would 100% recomend the place and would stay here again.

We loved our stay at Mina Grande because it was right on the beach! We could step out our front doors and walk right to the water. It was very beautiful and picturesque. We also loved our front porch, they served us breakfast every morning there and it was a lovely way to wake up. If we walked down the beach there was lots of restaurants to choose from. Also kayak rentals right there were also convenient. We did walk into the main town of El Nido which took about 15 minutes but mostly choose to tuk tuk. The main town is very loud and busy so originally I thought Mina Grande was a bit far away from the main town for my liking but then realized its actually the perfect location! The shower pressure and temperature is good! Which seems to me a common issue in the Philippines so that was comforting to have a good shower.

The free breakfast was okay but very small. The bed had a thick mattress but was harder so made for not the best sleeps (but too be fair we never found comfortable beds while travelling the Philippines until we stayed in a fancier hotel). The walls of the cottages are quite thin so you can hear your neighbours quite easily. It

I like how courteous, friendly and reliable their staff is. Kudos to Kuya Daniel who assist us in van transfer from Puerto to El Nido and manage all our island tour with discount. I also like all the staff there very friendly, and aid all our need. Definitely will go back because of them.😊

The facility needs improvement. There is some kind of "bukbok" in the ceiling which falls to our pillow. And every time someone walks in the room you can feel vibration of the floor thru the bed. I think all it needs is a renovation.

The absolute best things about Mina Grande are Myra the manager and her co-workers. They are extremely responsive to ANY request and find immediate solutions to any problem. They make a 3/4 star review a solid 5-star! Although through no fault of their own, Mina Grande fronts Corong-Corong beach, the waters are not very nice because of all the rocks and dead coral. In fact, the ONLY beach in the immediate El Nido town area that was mostly sand was Maremegmeg.

Since it is El Nido, you can expect electrical brown outs and water outages. These are always short-lived and they have a generator, so it works out fine. ALL El Nido resorts/hotels suffer from this.

Mina Grande is absolutely on the beach. Access to the hotel needs to done in a roundabout way. The facilities in the hotel are very basic although there was aircon and hot water. The rooms are tiny although clean. The staff is very friendly and provide all help needed. The hotel only provides breakfast. A 24/7 restaurant provides food to the hotel and thus it was not a problem to manage food. The food service from the restaurant is quick.

Nothing really. The beach across the hotel is not swim friendly due to it being completely rocky.

Location is good, right on Corong Corong beach really close to boat tour departures. Quiet and far from traffic and loud music. shower with hot water, air conditioning (noisy) and TV (never used) Breakfast included.

Room was really basic basic and small, no place to put your stuff. No mirror in the bathroom, I had to buy one and then I left it there. Breakfast was toast with little jam, one small fruit piece, one small egg omelette. Once we had pankake.

This last minute and "lucky" booking is one of the best travel experience I had so far. The travel period is a peak season with very low chance of getting accommodations and reservations for activities and transfers. After the booking confirmation, I was able to get in touch with the owner who helped arrange everything for this travel (which other travel agencies I contacted was not able to do). The owner was very accommodating and made sure my requests were properly attended from beginning of the trip to its end. Bonus was the trip to Lio and Nacpan. The owner personally showed us around these two beautiful places which we enjoyed so much. The service is definitely excellent. The place is also very nice. Its location from downtown is far enough if you want some peace and quiet, and close enough if you want to go out and have some fun (particularly at night). The room is spacious enough to accommodate the maximum capacity advertised. Air-conditioning works fine, no issues. The beds are also fine and comfortable to sleep in. Breakfast is also okay. If you are a nature lover, you will love the view of beachfront and the huge boulder of rock which shelters the wharf and the boats in the area. On the other side of the boulder is the 7 commando beach (if I read the map correctly) which has one of the most scenic sunsets. We visited this beach during the island hopping activity. View of the horizon during early morning is also enthralling. Overall, I am very satisfied with this chance booking I made the last minute.

The only thing I wish could have been better is the water pressure. While water supply is ample, water pressure tends to go low when all guests use water at the same time. But this is nothing compared to the overall experience.
