The Hotel was doing constructions in their main pool during our stay and they start early, so we was not able to sleep in as much as we can since the construction was noisy.

We would rate our stay 4/5, as it didn’t fully meet our expectations for a 5-star resort. We stayed in the Premier Suite (complimentary upgrade due to pool renovations). While the main pool was unavailable, the hotel was at only ~30% capacity, which made for a more peaceful experience, and they kindly offered complimentary access to the pool at Miniloc Island. That said, we did find the finishes in both the room and shared spaces to feel quite dated. This was especially noticeable in the bathrooms, where there were visible stains on the walls and floors. Check-in also felt a little impersonal — we weren’t offered welcome drinks, though we noticed other guests arriving later were. On the positive side, the staff were absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and truly 5/5 service. The bed was very comfortable, the AC worked perfectly, and breakfast was excellent. Overall, this may well be considered a 5-star resort in El Nido standards, but for those more accustomed to Western-style 5-star hotels, it’s good to keep expectations in check.

We had a great time at Seda Lio! We felt welcomed since the moment we arrived in the resort. The staff is friendly and polite. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. Our room was impeccable every day. Queene and Jewel were our waitresses the majority of the time and they went far and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Seda Lio is the best resort in the area with a private beach. You will fine everything you need here. There are really good restaurants about five minutes away if you don’t want to eat in the resort everyday. Thanks Seda Lio for made us feel at home 😊

This hotel was nice overall. The staff were kind and helpful. The property was well taken care of. The rooms smelled humid but were nice. The spa was decent. It was nice to have the private beach and a few okay restaurants in walking distance. You are quite far from downtown so you’d have to arrange for transportation if you want to go. I went in September with a friend and it was totally empty. We wish there were more people to chat with. The breakfast buffet was nice as were the drinks at the pool bar. We did tour “A” that the hotel sets up for you. I did not care for it. It was very low budget even though you’re paying about $70 USD. Theres around 15 people on the boat. Your hotel packs your lunch for the trip, okay at best. We asked the hotel if the tour provides a towel, they told us yes… they did not. We were just wet on the boat the whole day. The airport transportation is included and is very nice after so many flights. Since there are not many options for hotels in El Nido, i’d stay here again.

I chose this hotel because of its location on Lio Beach and good balance between being in quiet place but not too far from El Nido town (20 minutes and 300 pisos by Tuk Tuk). It's very close to the airport, where you will be met by someone from the hotel and then it's a very short ride in their golf buggy type shuttle to the hotel. The rooms are lovely and very spacious. We had one overlooking what should have been the pool area but that was under contstruction. I am still giving it 5 stars but we were only informed about this after we had made the booking. There is a pool at another hotel 5 minutes away but you have to reserve it and it looks quite small. The beach is stunning, with a great view of all the islands. SUP, kayak etc are all free. My only complaint here is that the life guards are the most overcautious and restrictive I have ever encountered. It was rainy season and even then, the sea was not rough and I didn't encounter any currents. However, you are told only to swim in between the hours of 6am and 6pm, very close to the hotel. I am a strong and experienced swimmer, but I don't take risks. I'd like to be able to judge myself and swim at my own risk. Aside from that minor moan, it's a lovely hotel and was very reasonable because of rainy season.

Generally good overall. The location property has a lot of bugs that attacked our family and got bitten quite a bit including inside the bedrooms. They have public doors that can cut off your finger if you’re not aware how the door opens because the proximity of the door handles to the other door are too close. They also have doors that cover a higher la ding which can cause you to trip. It’s not a ADA friendly location IMO. I pointed these out to management at checkout. Hopefully they will heed my suggestions and complaints about these to avoid future accidents and litigation.

Our first time in this hotel, the nightly rate was a little pricey so was expecting everything to be 100% better than usual. Our experience was just that. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was just what we wanted. Has a private beach which was not as busy as the other beaches, and also has a big swimming pool right by the beach. There are also a few local fine restaurants within walking distance from the property along the beach area. I would highly recommend this place.

This was a more expensive hotel but you definitely get what you pay for. The food was phenomenal and there are tons of restaurants and shops close by within the vicinity. Everything around the hotel is pretty close but if you want to go into el nido more, it’s about a 20minute drive. My only suggestion is to not book anything through the hotel, it will just cost a bit more money. But all in all a wonderful stay, beautifully maintained and very comfortable with amazing rooms. The beach access is perfect, lots of things to do like free paddle board, kayak, snorkel gear to rent, and lots of chairs to lounge in

Had the most amazing stay at Seda Lio! Staff were so attentive and professional, special shout out to Eddie the lifeguard at the beach who made our stay 5* quality! Definitely agree with others who mentioned the hotel has an exclusive luxury feel given its location. The hotel offers complimentary water activities (paddle boarding, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing etc) and we spent a lot of time enjoying the ping pong table in the games room! Beautiful 5 min walk down the beach to some restaurants and shops or you can take a 20 min trike into el nido town. Had the best stay here!!
