Lihim Resorts

The only other aspect unmatched by the beauty of the island is the service provided by the Lihim staff. My wife, sister-in-law, and I were fortunate enough to have the assistance of Eunice and Mars during our 4 day, 3 night stay in the villas. Our itinerary was nothing short of smooth all thanks to Eunice and Mars, even when we kept changing our minds on what we wanted to do on different days. Need a ride to the villa up the hill? They provided every time. Need a walking cane because you accidentally injured yourself during your island hopping tours? Eunice and Mars were prompt with calling for first aid assistance. Forgot to apply sunscreen on your shoulders while island hopping and now you're sunburnt? Well, you're a grown adult and should have been more prepared. Don't expect other people to undo your sunburn for you. That being said, not even an inconvenient sunburn could undo the enjoyment that was had thanks to the help of the lovely staff. In short, a stay at Lihim Resorts isn't complete without the exceptional service provided by the Lihim staff- Eunice and Mars. If their assistance isn't enough to make your stay enjoyable, then nothing will make you happy.

We stayed at the resort in November 2024. It is beautifully located at the end of the bay in front of El Nido town. Arriving by boat you find a resort nestled on a fairly steep mountain, individual villas surrounded by well-maintained tropical gardens. Our sea-view villa was spacious and provided an amazing view of the El Nido islands. In general the villa and connecting walk ways are in need of some upkeep, as you can clearly see the impacts of weather and time on the wooden structures, but nothing dramatic. It was great to see ongoing maintenance work, including waste-water management, which will be helpful. What made this space extra-special, was the team. Our butlers, Angelo and Neil, made us feel special every minute of our stay. Our tour guide, Rio and his captain, helped us experience impressive snorkeling sites. On three different tours, they went out of the way and looked for the special, less-crowded options. These tours created lasting memories. Thank you! Jun, the tennis/pickle ball coach was fun and created an adhoc competition for us. Lots of fun. Thank you. Last but not least, the restaurant crews. Miles and his crew created special lunches at Hayak beach. At Henris (top of the hill restaurant), Oliver made the evening special with his great service. At Gana restaurant, we really enjoyed the excellent service and humor of Samuel. He eventually taught us Tagalog over dinner. Thank you! Overall, a great place to visit and spend a few days. Make sure to take advantage of the tours offered.

Awesome place! Wish we could have stayed longer. Butler service with Anne and Ellie was top notch! Super cool girls that ensured we had a pleasant experience! Food was great and everyone working there was always pleasant to speak with! Stay here if you like tranquility and good service!

It was an advance birthday celeb for myself and Lihim really welcomes me with so much warmth. They exceeded my expectation.All my requests are given. Ms. Anne and Jude took care of my wants and needs really well. Thank you so much! Will go back for sure

I loved the service here! it really makes you feel special. The villa was really big and spacious perfect for our family. Although it’s a really nice resort perfect for relaxing, there was no beach front. 2 downsides: some of the food was really oily but the others were really delicious especially the burgers at Henri’s. It is for sure a must try. Second, the towels and beds were a bit stained and there are a lot of bugs like spiders in the room & bathroom but they did help us kill it. Overall I hope that these can improve but the experience is really worth it and the service was really 5 stars.

The service was absolutely incomparable to anywhere we have ever gone, it was by far the best we have ever experienced . And will definitely be recommending this place to everyone. They go above and beyond the butlers, the food and beverage people, the room service everything was AMAZING!!! Anytime it rained they were at our door with an umbrella ready to go and lead us to the car opening and shutting the door, they have great communication and everyone works as a team to make sure the guest is satisfied ! The massage was amazing as well I could go on and on it was just an incredible experience that everyone should try!!!!!!!!
