Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, beautiful and well-equipped domes, and the convenience of included scooters. A recurring minor complaint is noise from roosters and dogs in the morning, though earplugs are provided.

About this place Domes & Dreams Lio

Domes & Dreams Lio is a small accommodation in Villa Libertad, in the Lio area north of El Nido town on Palawan. As the name suggests, guests stay in dome-style units; it is a mainstream property listed as gay-friendly, not a gay resort. It scores around 4.9 from about 70 Google reviews but has no website, so book via the phone number (0906 214 8316) or a booking platform and confirm details. Lio is quieter than El Nido town, with the long Lio Beach and El Nido's airport nearby; island-hopping tours leave from town, about 20 minutes away by tricycle or van. The Philippines is generally easygoing for LGBTQ+ visitors.

Everything was perfect, the team was incredibly nice and friendly. So far, the best hotel we've stayed at in the Philippines. We received a free scooter and airport transfer. Late checkout was also free. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

✅ Free scooter ✅ Apartments are exceptionally beautiful ✅ Delicious breakfast ✅ Air conditioning, comfortable bed, and outdoor bathroom ✅ Very friendly team, especially Bambam ✅ Highly recommended ⚠️ Bubble tent feeling: you'll hear roosters and dogs in the morning; earplugs are provided. We stayed three nights at Domes and Dreams Glamping and were absolutely thrilled. The apartments are truly amazing – beautifully designed, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. We especially appreciated that each apartment has air conditioning, a very comfortable bed, and a great outdoor bathroom with hot water. The entire team was incredibly friendly and helpful. A special thank you goes to the manager, Bambam, who provides support in every situation and truly cares for the guests. You feel very welcome and well looked after there. One thing to keep in mind: You are still staying in a bubble tent or in a natural setting. In the mornings, you might hear roosters crowing or dogs barking. However, small earplugs are provided, which we thought was a very thoughtful touch. All in all, a wonderful stay with a special atmosphere. We highly recommend Domes and Dreams Glamping!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Tents are really cute and functional with fridge, TV, Safe a nice bed and even a noise cancelling machine. You also get an outdoor bath, picnic table and hammock. The pool is not big but perfect for a quick dip after the day of exploring. There are 3 breakfast options and dinner can be made to order. All the personal was amazing, friendly and helpful. They made our stay special. They helped us with transfers as well as ordering tricycles when needed. Location wise i think it is also very well positioned. 5 min drive to Lio beach and airport, 15 min to the town and 20ish to Nacpan beach.

We had a really pleasant stay at Domes and Dreams in March 2026. Bambam and Daisy took great care of us, going above and beyond to ensure the trip to El Nido was truly fantastic. They gave us loads of great tips, were extremely friendly and hospitable. Thank you for such a great stay! Bonus of staying here was the proximity to Lio Beach and Airport as well as the free scooter which was included in the reservation. This was brilliant, it gave us freedom to explore without needing to take public transport to visit the far ends of the island.

We absolutely loved our stay at Domes & Dreams! Beautiful scenery around the spacious domes, really comfy big bed and outdoor bathroom! Great location, close to Lio beach with some great spots for dinner! And just a short ride into El Nido town. The team were amazing, extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay! Special shout out to Bambam, who even helped book our transfer to Port Barton! Highly recommend if you're coming to El Nido!
