"This place is easily the newest and highest-end hotel right in El Nido town. That cliffside pool is seriously insane. Some parts of the property are still finishing up construction, but the rooms have everything you need and are super comfortable.
Plus, there's a rooftop sauna-total paradise, highly recommend!"
"Rooms can be better maintained as far as the chemical sprays in the rooms. And also making sure that water from the sink, shower and toilet is not brown! The swimming pool could use lighting in the pool to prevent getting hurt. Breakfast could be more a little fresher, squid daing not so crispy. The beach amenities and the lifeguards was exceptional. And the best reason why you should stay at Seda Lio is the staff, the kind and very helpful staff was awesome. They made our stay very memorable....
"What a great experience here

The rooftop restaurant bar was such an excellent experience every time we are there.
If you stay here, you will not be disappointed"
