Quiet part of the island slightly away from the town center which we liked. Enjoyed the easy access to the beach and proximity to the shops at Lio. Had a great experience.

The staff at the front desk was very nice. The only thing I did not like was that the property was far from everything else. Other than that, I loved it. I would recommend this place to anyone

Great location on the most beautiful and quiet beach. 4 min walk along the beach to approx 15 restaurants. The location, beach and variety of restaurants is what makes it a great hotel. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. Hotel was very nice and good standard. Would recommend staying.

Definitely stay here. You get a private beach with free kayaking, wind surfing, and paddle boats. We booked with DreamIslander Travel and Tours and they were able to pick us up right on the Private Beach. I had a great experience with the their company. Breakfast buffet has a lot of options and we had dinner twice there as well. They also pick you up to and from El Nido airport, 5 min drive, and that same vehicle will drive you anywhere for free within the Lio Estates. I think the nightlife was about 20 minutes away but if you don’t care, the resort really is nice just to relax especially after doing a beach tour. There were a lot of options for transport if you wanted to go to there though. Great pool. All the staff were wonderful too.

Everything about my stay at Seda Lio was amazing. The hotel was clean and the staff and service was great! Our driver Jeff was so funny and friendly. The accommodation was more than I expected. Also location is perfect and the beach is beautiful. I would def stay here again and would advise anyone going to El Nido to stay at Seda Lio. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Seda Lio is heaven on earth. Conveniently located 5 minutes away from the Lio Airport (exclusively for AirSwift) so you can fly directly to El Nido without the 5-hr van ride from Puerto Princesa. The hotel is the perfect location for what we were looking for…secluded enough outside of the town center on a beautiful stretch of private beach but only a 20-minute tricycle ride to town for nightlife, restaurants, activities, etc. The pool, food, staff, and rooms were just exceptional and we hated to leave after 4 nights. Will definitely return one day.

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.

What we liked: the rooms were spacious, clean, modern, and excellent. What we did NOT like: the pools were GREEN. All the promotional photos show a blue pool. But when we stayed there, the waters were green and appeared stagnant. We were also semi-bummed that the sand mites were SERIOUS on Lio Beach.

An incredible hotel and location!
The reviews and description does not give this hotel enough justice. The front desk staff was amazing. Especially their tour organized helped us pick a private beach tour which was amazing. Also, Lio beach is out of this world. It’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of life. We will definitely go back again.

Location is excellent with great beach and pool. Everything very well maintained. The breakfast was good selection however service for breakfast could have been better, it is par for most south Asian areas. The room spacious, comfortable, clean, and even have staff that brings around after dinner cookies to your room special every night. Stay was beginning of December so perhaps slow season because the property was not very busy and always plenty of room in the adjoining beach areas. The tours were great also. Overall everything was great!

Their staff and resort should be the standard of hospitality. Seda simply refuses to let you do any work or worry about anything. I mean every single person there was delightful, helpful and informed. The training programs are effective! Best resort experience I've had PERIOD! Oh, did i mention the resort is amazing, walking distance to Lio, 20 minutes away from surfing and you have your own private beach. Live entertainment-great pools, fabulous gym and spa. Sprawling resort that lights up at night in such a way that it doesn't compete with the stars above! Do yourself a favor, your family, your fiance or anyone that you care about and STAY HERE!

This is our new favorite hotel. The airport is located on the property, less the 2 mins away. We stayed in the deluxe king room forest view suite. The room was spacious, and super clean. The property has security cameras and staff everywhere to make sure guest are are happy and safe. Great place to relax and get away. We enjoyed the massive pools more the beach, and the massage spa facility was amazing! We didn’t realize the hotel offered tours A, B, C and D for island hopping, as we booked our tours through Klook before arriving. The hotel shuttle offers a free shuttle service into El Nido, but you may need to wait awhile. We paid 300 PHP for a trike. The front desk will request a trike and have one on property within a few minutes. All our meals where at the Lio estates. We found no reasons to travel off the property, other than the tours. We will definitely be a returning guest.

The highlight for me was that the beach was steps away from the hotel grounds and you can actually swim in it. Unlike the hotel in El Nido town proper itself, there are no swimming allowed signs posted. I would say that the beach ground is similar to the famous Nacpan beach which is about 40 minutes away. The down side if you want to mingled with the locals, the El Nido town is also 40 minutes away in the opposite direction of Nacpan Beach. The hotel do offer a free shuttle bus or assist you in hiring one. The hotel is secluded and when I was there this Oct 2019, it was nice to just lie on the beach without someone approaching you if you want to buy a souvenirs. The staff were great and very approachable. Emman checked us in and showed us around the grounds as he took us to our room. The last time someone walked me to my room upon check in was when I went to Jamaica. Not sure if they do this for all their guest but it was nice.
