“Cuna Hotel aims for hospitality and convenience near El Nido's beaches, but some find the execution uneven. The rooftop sky deck and restaurant promise memorable moments, though maintenance and noise can be issues. For travelers seeking family-friendly amenities with sustainable practices, it's worth considering with tempered expectations.”

The bathroom had strong water pressure. The big mirror was a nice touch. It was clean and big enough.

The WiFi was unstable and didn't work well in the room. It was a holiday, so I didn't worry too much.

The rooftop pool had AMAZING views.

The room reeked of damp. I think there was mold because the walls felt wet. The staff brought a dehumidifier, BUT it barely helped and I still felt uneasy.
