The Funny Lion El Nido

The limestone cliffs that ring El Nido show up in the restaurant's design, which sets the tone for a hotel that treats its surroundings as the whole point. Fifty rooms with breezy balconies, locally sourced materials, and clever lighting give you a comfortable base for days out on the water, with the Sea Tree Spa and a poolside bar waiting when you return. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
