If you are looking for a quite place to spend few days surrounded by nature in front of the beach and away from the crowds of El Nido, this is your place. I came here manly because of diving with manta rays. This very simple Filipino style hotel is placed in between the only two scuba diving shops in the area. If you look for luxury, don't come here. You only will find simple rooms in front of the beach surrounded by nature with a delicious local run restaurant. The a/c rooms are larger than the fun room I stayed in. But for my backpack standards, the room was good enough for a couple of diving days.

We had a nice Stay at Floresita’s. The resort is on the beachfront of quiet Sibaltan town, about 1 hour from El Nido town. The view is nice and there are benches, hammocks and chairs on the beach. However you have to walk far to swim as the tide is low. The huts were basic and small (only bed and bathroom with no door) but fine for their purpose of only sleeping there at night. This place is perfect for resourceful travellers who want to experience “simple life/camping” experience. Electricity at night, no wifi when we were there and barely any network. It felt good to disconnect! However you might want to plan your next destination before you get there! The staff was friendly and helpful to some extent, especially for scooter rental as well as arranging our transport to and from the resort. The included breakfast was simple but good. We overall had a positive experience and would stay there again.

The staff is absolutely amazing. I literally felt like family being there. They are wonderful. The room was clean and the property was beautiful. If you want a place to relax and get away this is it. At night the waves hitting the beach were peaceful. They have several different options of rooms and have a magnificent view of the beach. I will return. The staff really make this place one of a kind. I literally felt like I was leaving family.

Great secluded place. The staff were great and very helpful =) They have free breakfast, the restaurant is open into the evening. Great place to disconnect and chill. Be aware though that this is in Sibaltan, the east side of El Nido. They have their own tours, but if you want to do the tours in the "main" part of El Nido, the west side, it's a 1 hour van ride.

Nous avons adoré !
Nous cherchions le paradis nous l’avons trouvé au Floresita’s. Nous sommes restés 9 nuits et nous avons adoré notre séjour au calme dans notre jolie cabane sur la plage. C’etait simple, exactement ce que nous cherchions. La cuisine était délicieuse et nous avons pu décompresser en profitant de la plage. Pour découvrir les alentours nous avons louer un scooter, c’etait idéal pour se déplacer. Toute l’équipe a été formidable, nous avons passés des moments inoubliables. Nous avons eu du mal à partir et nous espérons pouvoir un jour y revenir. Merci encore pour tout, prenez soin de vous ;) Virginie et Xavier

Tent on the beach
We had a great stay here! We chose to stay in a tent to save money and were very pleased to find that it was set up right on the beach. The island tour they offer is also a great value compared to those in El Nido. There were only 6 people on our boat and the price includes lunch.

flowery stay at the beach
Floresitas is a perfect place if you want to tune out and just read a book or get some rest.Prepare for no internet! Its a very calm place far away from eveything else... A friendly family managing the resort takes care of everything you need, not far from the place at the beach you find more restaurants. We spent 5 days there and could have stayed forever, the "far away from everything" feeling there was exactly what we wanted. Also recommended: the snorkeling tour that takes you to amazing coral reefes

Peaceful and beautiful place!
Perfect place if you want to escape the craziness of El Nido town. Very relaxed and quite, with an amazing staff that's always taking care of their guests. Also you can do island hoping from here (Sibaltan village), with beautiful islands to visit and not as crowded as in El Nido.

Cast Away experience at luxury price.
First of all the Internet does not work. At all! Phone signal for both Globe and Smart do not work. That explains why both their listed numbers don't work, including chat service. They charged 1,500 pesos for airport pickup (I guess it's reasonable due to its remote location). The place looks good online, but it's extremely small. The length fits a double sized mattress, with about a foot left. The width is about the same. If you are over 6' tall, you will feel the discomfort and mosquito bites. The mosquito net is not sufficient to keep the mosquitos out - you become the midnight buffet. Electricity is on between 6pm-6am. The Wifi by the eating area has good signal, but what good is it if there's no Internet? The island tour price is 1,500 pesos - not worth it! They take you to places that the corals have been dead. El Nido offers better tours but cheaper ( A tour - 1,200p; B tour - 1,300, C tour - 1,400). There isn't much to do or sightsee. The beach is unswimmable. One good thing about this place is its remote location where you do get peace and quiet. It's just not worth the agony of sleepless nights due to mosquitos. Then, the overprice for services. We thought the little qilted bananas were free for guests. They do charge. Anyway we originally reserved for four nights but could only stay for two. Let it be known I am retired Army infantryman...this was just ridiculous! I will not return or recommend it. Anyway, that was our experience.

Beautiful views and very friendly, helpful staff
Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable stay here. We knew it was an "eco-friendly" hotel going in and would not be as comfortable as a regular vacation hotel. The wifi did not work the entire stay, intermittent generator failures, and there was a few hours of not having any running water for the bathroom. It felt more like a camping experience. We spent most of our time out and about during the day. I highly recommend their day-long island hopping tour. The staff was always friendly and accommodating, they helped plan and set up our daily activities, meals were delicious, and the view from the hillside huts is amazing.

Pretty but a bit overpriced
The place was nice and was right on the beach. You only have electricity from 6pm to 6am. The room has a fan but the resort has no wifi. The service was very good but we felt it was a little expensive (1000pesos) for what was offered. They charged for the use of kayaks and paddle boards. Alos, it is an hour out of town.

Good if you want to stay away from civilization and if you want to rent a bike to go around. It is more than an hour ride from town centre to this place. Not recommended if you are looking to meet other travellers.

If you want the hustle and bustle of a 'city,' don't stay here. It's in a great location for relaxation. You can rent a motorbike to see the island (and get to the city). They were friendly, caring, and upfront about what they had and didn't have. Personally, I loved it!

Make sure it's what you want
Important to know that this is not El Nido. It is about 1 hour drive from El Nido, and El Nido is much better equipped for tourists. If it is really important to you to get away from any tourists and you are okay with losing out on some of the comforts that come with more tourist heavy areas, then this might be a good place for you. Sibaltan is quite and very beautiful. That being said, my party was hoping to mostly just swim and relax on the beach, and we should have simply staid in El Nido. It has much easier access to swimmable beaches and island hopping, as well as an ATM, more restaurants, and more modern accommodations relative to Sibaltan. To arrange the transport from Floresita's to El Nido costed 1500 pesos for the van, so it was a very expensive one hour car trip unless you have a large party to split up the cost. For reference, we paid 600 pesos for the 5 hour ride from El Nido to Puerto Princessa. Additionally, when we arrived they only had available one of the 2 rooms which we had booked. The second room became available the following night. We did not have running water for 2 of the days. The WiFi in the lobby didn't work any of the times we tried it. Arranging transportation back to PPS for our flight out was stressful as our van left Floresita's 1.5 hours later than we had scheduled. All in all there were a couple really cool workers at Floresita's that made it worthwhile to meet and spend time with, but I felt that we would have had a better time in El Nido.

Beautiful little oasis away from El Nido commotion
Floresita's is a beautiful little oasis away from the busy El Nido tourist area. It's about an hour away from the port where all of the commotion is. The location is really the selling point of this place. It's remote and relaxing. There's a beautiful little island off the shore that you can kayak to. It's really nice & romantic to be the only two people on a tiny little island. The wifi didn't really work well but we didn't care. It was beautiful scenery and great staff. The food was also quite delicious.

In Sibaltán gibt es derzeit nicht viel Auswahl an Unterkünften und Floresita's war die einzige, die man online buchen konnte. Nach der Buchung wurde uns auch die Organisation eines Shuttleservices angeboten (dies nutzten wir dann für die Abreise). Die Spuren der Pandemie sind leider noch in ganz Sibaltán und somit auch in der Unterkunft spür- und sichtbar, aber die Gastgeberfreundlichkeit von Myra und Co. machen das schnell wett. Die Bungalows sind sehr einfach einfach eingerichtet und ca 12 qm groß. Für Backpacker geeignet. Pro: - super Essen - direkt am Strand - Hilfsbereitschaft - leistungsstarker Ventilator (gibt auch Bungalows mit Air Conditioner) - kein Lärm von Baustellen - Mosiktonetz am Bett - eigenes Badezimmer im Bungalow - Frühstück inbegriffen (bei unserer Buchung): hierfür gibt es keine Speisekarte, sie zaubern dir das, was du wünschst im Filipino-Stil :) - warme vegetarische Speisen waren soooo lecker! - der Restaurant-/ Verweilbereich ist überdacht und hat wirklich Wohlfühlcharakter. Tolle Naturmöbel. - wir zu einem Karaokeabend eingeladen und das war richtig lustig! :) Contra: - Strom nur von 6 pm - 6 am (Pandemie) - Wasser nicht wirklich klar (Pandemie) - Betten etwas klein - viele Ameisen - kein WiFi (auch nicht mit SmartBro) Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis: 8,5 von 10 (Wir hatten 1 Nacht gebucht und sind am nächsten Tag für 2 Nächte in die besser bewertete Unterkunft nebenan gezogen. Nach der ersten Nacht dort sind wir wieder zurück zu Floresita's!!!)

Lovely, tranquil place away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido. Located right on the beautiful long beach, 5 minutes walk to Sibaltan village for some basic shopping. Delicious meals served directly in the property. We opted for island hopping tour - definitely worth doing, different atmosphere and sights than the ones organized in El Nido (which are worth it too!). Very relaxing stay in stylish huts made of natural materials.

Paradis på Palawan.
Floresita's Beach Resort ligger ud til den skønneste strand hvor der er mulighed for at svømme, dykke, kite-surfe og alt hvad en vandhunds hjerte ellers begærer. Stedet styres varmt og smilende af matriarken Mira og hendes skønne familie, der alle arbejder for at få deres gæster til at føle sig hjemme. Hvis jeg nogensinde er så heldig at komme tilbage til denne skønne ø er der ikke et øjebliks tvivl om at jeg atter ville besøge Floresita's Beach Resort.

Il Floresita è un ottimo posto per fare tours in barca alle meravigliose isole di fronte. La location è carina per passeggiate. Accanto ci sono solo un ristorante e un paio di piccoli resorts quindi il posto è molto tranquillo. I tours alle isole incantate vicine non sono mai affollati come invece lo sono nell'altra costa

Great staff, quiet location.
Floresita's location is approx 1 hour away from El Nido town but it offers its own boat tours that are perhaps equally impressive. We got to do snorkling at reefs and then spend hours at a pristine white beach with noone else but us. Truly felt like paradise. Bungalows are rustic and basic at best, no electricity at daytime and there aren't many people around. The beach by the hotel not suitable for swimming as low tide means you have to walk for miles to get water above your knees. Staff provided great service!
