Sta. Monica Parish

This property suited our needs perfectly. It’s right on the water and right in the center of El Nido. It’s right next to restaurants, tour information, and a convenience store, plus an easy area to grab a trike. The only complaint I have is that the rooms are all adjoining so it was a bit loud if you have neighbors. We could hear the rooms next door TV all night. Otherwise it had exactly what we needed and the staff was SO nice and caring.

Lihim Resort in El Nido was an absolutely amazing world-class experience for us. The service and professionalism of the staff is absolutely top notch and far exceeded our expectations. The way the resort is designed allows you to experience the beauty of nature in El Nido while simultaneously enjoying a luxurious villa that is well appointed and thoughtfully designed. Restaurant Gana at the resort has some of the best Filipino food we have had in the Philippines, but can also serve great dishes for those that prefer more western cuisine. We participated in two boat tours, one of which included trips to Lihim’s private lagoon in Cadlao, and a private beach in Hayag. These trips were the highlights of our travels, with amazing views, delicious lunches, and wonderful guides. We can’t recommend this feature enough! If you stay here you must take a boat tour at least once.

We have limited meal options. No beef meal was available when we stayed due to limited/no supply following a big event. Otherwise, we have an excellent stat. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, especially David Austria, who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The GM, James, was very personable. The scenery is to die for! Very quiet and serene.
