Erlittop Garden Eco Lodge

Me and my girlfriend loved this lovely place. The staff was amazing! They helped us out when I was sick and stuck on the road. They have good food. Great massage for great price. Just a wonderful big garden type of place with a lovely sunrise. Perfect if you want peace and quiet but only 45-50 minutes with motorbike to El Nido town and only 30-40 minutes to the best beaches. I preferred Duli Beach (Only two restaurants, 3/4 of the beach was empty all of the time, great for surfing. The Beach 500 m away from this place is good for kitesurfing what I så... Best diving in El nido for the moment 5 min walk from this place. Check out Dive Sibaltan. Secret free local waterfall pretty close (hard find and walk to). Try the East coast of El Nido when you get tired of El Nido town...

It was BEAUTIFUL! We didn’t quite realise how rustic our room would be, however it was amazing, and we woke up to the sun rise over the sea which we could see from our bedroom window every morning. Cromwell couldn’t have been more helpful with organising everything we needed, and all the staff were fantastic and friendly. The breakfast was wonderful, and the dinner we did have there was also delicious. Reasonably priced, and they also provided purified water to refill our bottles for a very small fee.

You just need to realise how ‘in nature’ it is! And that if you stay in a hut on stilts you will need to share a bathroom, and although individual huts are nicely spaced out you can hear absolutely everything from the other huts so there is minimal privacy! If you do book in advance there do seem to be a couple of rooms that do have private bathrooms. It is also very far from El Nido, and you will need to make sure you have arranged a lift back if going there for the day/evening, otherwise transport back is very difficult and expensive! otherwise wouldn’t change anything about this place!

This place was just so perfect! From the moment I arrived I felt at home and super comfortable. A team member, Bebe, checked me in, gave me a glass of juice and showed me the ropes. The room was basic in it's provisions but so so nice! I had a sea view, where I could watch the mountains fade in the sun. There was a swing seat on my balcony to sit and relax, and inside the room I was comfortable in the bed, with mosquitos. The bathroom is also very basic with a weak dribble shower, but that wasn't really a bother, especially after waking up with that view of the sunrise.

It was exceptionally windy the night I stayed. They had extra blinds, but given that the whole room is open, it was very breezy and quite noisy. This is just part of the experience and.not a complaint, more just a warning for people who aren't so into outdoors sleeping - this is a very outdoors setup.

Very good food, serene and peaceful environment. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially with the transport organization. Nice things to visit around (mangroves, ille cave, Napcan beach...), cca 20-30 min away with a scooter. Note that the resort location is quite remote, so renting a scooter (or hiring a tricycle) is necessary for going around. However it can be easily arranged at the reception desk.

The internet connection is very very limited (both wifi and the local sim card). The shower of our family bungalow was inconvenient for use, as a 1-minute shower resulted in a flooded bathroom. But the shared shower is also available to use, so finally, this was not a big problem for us.

Erlittop is set on a hill looking out over the ocean. I stayed in the tents which were nicely situated and had an exterior roof to protect from sun. Also had chairs, table and hammok. The mattress in tent was comfortable. Nice sunrise over ocean in the mornings. The larger bungalows looked nice but I did not stay in them. I would reccommend coming by motorbike so you can tour the area.

I had originally booked a budget cottage but was very disappointed with it. Owner was able to switch me to tent at the lower tent price. Cottages need more improvements to interiors and a cement pad not dusty dirt in front. Not the owners fault but a home is being built next door so there is some daytime construction noise.

The view from the cabin is incredible, and the staff was so lovely. The food at the restaurant was tasty and affordable. 5 minutes from the beach, great location.

It's worth noting that there is no glass on the window in the room, just a curtain and then the outside world. Not a big issue but it does mean that all the insects (and there are a lot as the garden is so nice) can easily get into the room. There is a big mosquito net around the bed so shouldn't be a big issue but it's important to note for people who don't like insects, you will definitely have some in the room.

Stayed here for a couple of weeks. All the staff were great throughout that time and could organise local trips and tricycles if needed. The views are amazing, both from the chalet and the communal area. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the bay (your room will be open so you can see from inside your room) was the definite highlight. There are a few restaurants/ bars nearby but the lodge serves breakfast and dinner. I had most things on the menu that were available and it was nice food, particularly the dinners. They have a small selection of cold beers too, and it's a great place to relax with one of an evening, overlooking the bay. You can pay by credit card at the end of your stay, which was very useful. It is quite a remote location, near the beach (5mins walk), and a small village (10mins walk), which means it is peaceful (bar the odd cockerel) and makes you feel near to nature. There is wifi in the communal areas, which generally worked well - just ask the staff to reset if it loses signal and that seemed to fix any issue. You can get a purified water refill for 10PHP per litre from reception. As I was there for two weeks, Cromwell, the manager, arranged for me to have my own dispenser in my room, which was very convenient.

It is designed to have basic amenities e.g. electricity only between hours of 6-11pm (enough to recharge your devices), single temperature shower (which would benefit from more water pressure), and be open to the outside (you have mosquito nets on the bed but you should bring repellant and expect other insects). Note: it is still private even though it is open to the outside on the front wall (that faces the bay). All this is why I stayed there - it is like luxurious camping and a place to go for a bit of a retreat.

The accommodation has a stunning garden with beautiful sunrise views, creating the ideal setting for those seeking relaxation and an calming nature experience. Shared bathrooms were also clean.

The laundry service, unfortunately, had a considerable delay. We handed in our laundry upon arrival for our three-night stay, but we received our clothes back during check-out, and they were still damp. The massage experience was decent, though somewhat awkward and lacking in friendliness. The massage therapist provided minimal guidance or communication regarding the session's progression or completion. In terms of value, I'd say it's a bit on the pricey side for the service offered.

the amazing nature is their selling point. if you love nature and peace this is the perfect place for you. they have good food at the restaurant and they can provide transport to anywhere u like. to el nido city and even from peurto princessa airport u just need to book early and they will provide a number for you. going to this place needs 1 hour from the PP airport so make sure to book a van. the shuttle vans at the airport does not goes directly to el nido and it will stop many stops and when u reach Erittop will be too late. we got there at 5 am, but still person in charge was waiting for us , it was amazing . u will wake up with the sea view and peace and quiet and a swing to take very beautiful pictures. it was VERY good!

it’s a bit fat if you’re not ready for a long ride , but it will be all worth it at the end !

Erlittop is a paradise!! We stayed for 3 days and it's an awesome place to relax. The bungalows are very nice and confortable, the food is great and the staff are wonderful. We also had a really good massage :) All the bungalows are faced East and we could see amazing sunrises. The host - his name is Cromwell, was exceptional and even drove us to Puerto Princesa a few days after our stay!! We truly recommend Erlittop!

Oh, the mosquitos...but the bungalows have nets and we bought insect incense in the town, which really helped!
