This small hotel ( it's more like village houses ) located in the best beach point of el Nido ! The rooms was nice and clean and the staff was very very nice. The food is OK. Located on the beach with hammocks all over the place . Will come again

El Nido is perhaps the most beautiful beach spot in the world. After about 10 days or so of touring the Philippines our feet landed in El Nido. We instantly fell in love with the area and the people. We chose Marina Garden as it is dead center on the beach. Great beach restaurants run up and down both sides... More

The resort is in front of the police station. The beach front has a lot of rowdy drunk tourist. Not a safe place to bring kids even its in front of the police station. Its near the local market area. No privacy and we doubted the security. Stay at the more expensive resort. El Nido is way Over rated! Only... More

Marina Garden Beach Resort is conveniently located near restaurants, police station and souvenir shops. The rooms are small but with basic amenities like hot & cold showers, television and ac. Breakfast is good. I don't recommend swimming at their front beach though since a lot of tour boats are anchored there, hence, compromising the quality and cleanliness of the beach... More

My sister and family stayed at villa Rm. 3 while my daughter and I stayed at villa Rm.9, airconditioned and with hot shower. It was a corner room, not exactly facing the beach... More

Stayed here last March 27-30 and had a great time! Me and my friends enjoyed island hopping and food trips. :) We chose Townside room A, t'was pretty good, clean as well as the bathroom and enough for 4 persons (just add extra mattress). Bring your toiletries because they only give a small soap, towels and tissue papers. ;) Staffs... More

We spent 2 nights in Marina Garden and would absolutely recommend it. + great location: you step out of the room and you're at the beach and if you walk around the cottages you're in the town centre + nice rooms, hot water + worth its money - unfortunately you cannot watch the sunset from that spot

We arrived late at night and was accommodated immediately. The room was clean and we just love the beach front location. Not only that, it is close to all other things that you need while in El Nido - like where to dine, island hopping, pasalubong, Police Station and a church. We recommend this place to all other and will... More
