Went here because it was #1 on tripadvisor. The food was ok, not more. The drinks wasnt even ok.. They allow smoking everywhere so if you are a non-smoker you will have the smoke-smell constantly.. We had a bad experience with a couple with two smaller kids who were running around naked and one of them took a pee on... More

We ate here on night because we red pretty good reviews on tripadvisor. Well don't believe the buzz. It has no atmosphere at all. The decoration is really terrible. This place needs a woman's touch haha. It even has desk chairs in it.The food was ok (6 out of 10), but nothing special at all. We would never visit it. More

Upstairs above diving centre with a great view of the beach immediately below. Beer not always cold but will ice it up if they know you are coming. Only a domestic size fridge for drinks. Try the waterpipe. A$5.00 with about 6 different flavours and lasts about 25 minutes. Food really good and reasonably priced. More

We only ate there once because we were running short of time. Everything we had was great, specifically Hawaiian pizza, carbonara and 4xbanana smoothies all for PHP720! View was perfect, overlooking El Nido beach. Will def go back! More
