Buko Beach Resort

If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet vacation in a magnificent paradise... Look no further. Buko is the place for you. Buko beach resort was our first stop on our honeymoon. It's a beautiful and peaceful piece of heaven. The staff is amazing, always smiling, always positive, taking care for all of your needs. The room is clean and beautiful. The outdoor shower is so cool, it was private and intimate. The restaurant have a variety of dishes and cocktails. It was really good. We loved the pool the most. Located on the edge of the resort and on the entrance to the beach. It really was an unforgettable vacation which we really recommend for everyone. Buko was a great start for us. Hopefully we'll get back there in the near future.

Words can’t entirely describe eating breakfast on the restaurant with the clouds and ocean at your feet. It is truly something you have to experience to fully understand. John was really, really sweet and the entire Buko staff were so friendly and kind and accommodating. I’m not 100% sure but I think we got upgraded to the pool view bungalow/villa without even asking. And oh boy was it an experience. They also had a welcome board with my name on it at the front desk, a nice personal touch we enjoyed. Buko restaurant was actually really good! The pancakes and poached eggs with iced coffees were the best! Besides a wonderful breakfast, dinner/lunch was really delicious. The green curry and perri perri chicken /pasta took me right back to South Africa. The sunset from the pool was also something you’d have to experience first hand to full grasp and would recommend. All our requests were met, we had massages in our room, laundry was done for us, any questions were answered promptly. We’re going to return to El Nido and Buko will be on our list for sure.

I can only recommend this small yet beautiful resort, that provides great view of the ocean and in the same time hospitality as you are staying in your own house. The staff were very responsive and every detail was up to the highest standarts. They organized on our request an exchange of vows, although they were not providing this service, and the venue and the dinner after were exactly as I pictured it, even more beautiful. The only negative comment I have is about the quality of the food, although we could see that the chef was going beyond to prepare the meals, the sauces were delicious and the presentation too. However, the ingredients were not of good quality, the meat for example, and I was missing more fruit, if I compare the resort with other there. So boss, do your part to match the price :) . However, overall I would stay again in this amazing hotel. Thank you for everything!

The property was beautiful and felt private because of all the foliage everywhere. The little restaurant next to the beach was excellent. The restaurant was very accommodating and would let you order the night before for breakfast available before their scheduled opening the next day (if you had a scheduled tour or scuba diving trip). The food was fresh and always included fresh fruit. The yellow watermelon gazpacho soup was exceptional. The pool was warm and clean and made the heat manageable (it was 90+ most days). A good PADI scuba shop (Tabanka) was 100 ft. down the beach and their dive outrigger boat was moored out front.

This hotel is in our opinion even nicer in real life than on the photos. The room was super clean, comfortable and with great atmosphere. You have the comfort, but still feel in one with nature due to the design of the room and the outdoor bathroom (which was supercool and very clean). The service is excellent and the staff was always so helpful. Room service was free of charge so you could a enjoy breakfast in your room or outside your own room at the terrace. The breakfast and food in general was also really good. The bar/restaurant area is nice.
