AlbaniaI am very glad I choose to stay here for my frist night in El Nido. The perfect location where you can decide what to do next. I like to exploree the city center the first night, and the hotel was in perfect location to allow me such details. The room was clean and eith a very beautiful view facing El Nido beach. But the most important thing was the staff. It was my birthday and they have prepared the room with red wine, ballons and flowers and happy nirthday song playing on the screen. They went further by bringing the flowers from my friends to another hotel I was staying the next day!
Thank you very much for all the attention and the caring!

GermanyIf you’re looking for a unique, comfortable and unforgettable hotel experience in El Nido - Look no further!
The villas are modern, clean and beautifully designed with the highest attention to detail.
In Southeast Asia, it’s quite uncommon to get actual blankets, usually they resemble the comfort of a thin paper.
Thanks to Alon I could finally snuggle into a blanket again and slept like a baby. You can feel the love that went into this place in every corner. The deck with a huge bamboo table hugging a tree is the heart of the hotel. There, you can enjoy breakfast (which is freshly prepared and oh so delicious!), cozy book reading sessions or, thanks to starlink WiFi, even work from your laptop.
The location is very secluded, giving space to disconnect and enjoy nature, surrounded by many plants and rice fields, as well as a clear sky full of stars at night.
A scooter can be rented on request and I would advise to do so to get around easily. One of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines and probably THE most beautiful beach in El Nido, Nacpan beach, is only a 10 min ride away.
What we loved most about our stay at Alon are the hosts Carl & PY. Their hospitality is outstanding and needs to be mentioned in this review!
These two are so welcoming, comforting and attentive and were the cherry on top of our amazing stay.
If I could give 11 stars I would.

ColombiaMy stay at Amari was absolutely AMAZING! Although the hotel wasn’t fully open and some amenities were still unavailable, I still had a fantastic time. The location is perfect for anyone going on tours, as it’s quite close to the beach. The service is top-notch, and the infinity pool is simply beautiful. Everyone was incredibly kind and always willing to help, and the rooms were fully equipped and very comfortable. They also offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, which is a great bonus. I believe that once the hotel is fully open, it will be a truly magnificent place, and I hope I get the chance to visit again :)

ItalyFirst of all, the position of the hotel was 30sec by El Nido port where most of the island hopping start, so it was very comfortable. The hotel is very new and the room are very clean with good utensils such as Dyson and smeg. But what made this stay amazing was the quality of the staff service!!! Everyone was so helpful, mindful, always available to our needs and suggestions. Big shot out to Rojie that was one of the most amazing person you can meet in a Hotel. We wish her the best.

If there is paradise, Pangulasian resort is it!!!
We don't want to spoile all the wonderful surprises that are waiting for you in the resort... but must share some of them here:
It all starts at the airport, where the resort representative came to greet us and take care of us on our short and pleasant journey to the resort.
Upon arrival we had a beautiful welcoming from staff and especially from GM Thomas who made sure every day that our stay is nothing short than perfect!
We stayed in a beach villa which was extremely beautiful and comfortable.
The resort offers many complimentary activities including, kayaking, snorkeling and island tours that we were lucky enough to have them with Joe - who is an extraordinary guide!
The staff were incredible- friendly, caring probably some of the best in the business! We specifically want to note Max who made all our dinners and breakfasts exceptional with her charming personality and smile.
Also special thanks to Mike (food and beverages direcor), Ford and Amor (who managed and maintained our villa), Randy (the talented singer who made our dinners unforgettable) and all other staff for their exceptional service.
The food and drink options were excellent and we loved that the resort believes eco friendly but yet manages to deliver top notch luxury!!
El Nido Pangulasian resort is definitely a unique place for vacation for anyone seeking adventure, private, luxurious and natural beauty!!!
We will definitely prioritize returning to this amazing resort!!!

It’s way better than it looks on pictures, for real.
We had the best time of our lives so far I think. Surrounded by the nature with an incredible staff. They been superstars! Very professional and kind.
The room was extremely clean and spacious, with everything you ever needed. One feedback wouldn’t be enough to describe the vibes of this place, we are just too grateful to had the chance of staying in this slice of paradise. For sure I hope to came back soon.
The food wasn’t bad, I would avoid pasta cause it was tasteless, but for the rest is really not too bad. I would prefer a la carte menu also for the night tho. Breakfast was great, such a lot of choices and super tasty food!

First I hadn’t even seen Panorama Resort because of its lower rating. I then booked despite some mixed reviews as I found it to be the most beautiful and tasteful resort. And - it was a little heaven for one week for us. I zero understand previous critics - it’s as much comfort as you can find while being on a remote island. I don’t feel it’s overpriced - you pay for the tasteful design, the reclusiveness, perfect service and many complementary services. I was sick one day and the staff immediately went downtown to get medicine for me - no extra charge asked. Loved every minute of it!

Miniloc has exceeded expectations in all areas - from airport to airport! The WOW-factor is at 10 because we felt soooo taken cared of from pick up at airport - with special VIP lounge to the warm welcome with songs and snacks , to the very personal greetings of their staff all up to the end - EXCELLENT SERVICE WAS CONSISTENT!
Paying full board is so well worth it since it includes all the excursions in the big and small lagoons among others. THE SNORKLING AREA BY MINILOC'S IS D'BEST! We will definitley come back! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

The damage from the previous typoons is still present.
The damage from the previous typoons is still present. There are numerous bars, I recommend the Pacifico Bar, they have Octoberfest sized mugs to hold the Red Horse Beer. It is 50 Pesos each way from the hotel to town and back. On the island tours, the outhouses are the absolute bare minimum, a toilet, no seat, no tank, no TP, a bucket and a ladle and no sink. Wear grippy water shoes, the stairs are slippery. Go see the Coral Garden, elsewhere all the other fish are <5" and no coral. Unless you go to the the Coral Garden, the crystal kayak is a waste of money. Still I had a great time, the staff did an amazing job, life is an adventure!

Need to have more efficient traffic management during peak hours. The LGU should improve, sustain and maintain infrastructure esp the port and the walkway.. When we went to the port to buy streetfood the stalls are sitting in rough ground and very muddy after rain. It is not good to see for visitors to walk around and wondering where tourism tax are spent for? More people will have a fruitful stay in the city if the place is worth staying for few more days befire heading to E Nido and other popular places..

Absolutely!
Absolutely! San Vicente really flies under the radar compared to El Nido and Coron, but that’s part of its charm. It’s less crowded, more laid-back, and still boasts those stunning, unspoiled beaches—especially the 14-kilometer Long Beach, which feels like a hidden gem.
The slower pace and warm, genuine hospitality from the locals really give it that authentic "island life" vibe. It’s perfect for people looking to relax, connect with nature, and avoid the more tourist-heavy scenes. Some even say it’s what El Nido felt like 10 or 15 years ago.

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit,...
If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping.
If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home.
Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February.
To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

If you intend to visit Palawan you need to be more informed than I was. The Philippines are a poor country. Accommodation is cheap and as such you get what you paid for - No hot water, some cockroaches, you cannot swim in the water because of the jellyfish, plenty of sandflies and no shop to get any relief medication. There is no way to move around unless you organize transfers that cost you as much as your accommodation. A must see if you would like to see the culture. We were unable to snorkel due to weather

The wow factor was definitely at Twin Lagoons and Kayangan Lake. Loved swimming and snorkelling although coming from Australia, the corals and fish were a bit underwhelming. Plenty of cafes and restaurants in Coron Town. We especially liked the french restaurant Armihan Bistro, Poco Deli (next door to Epic Cafe) and Le Voyage. All catered for Gluten Free meals as well. Tuk Tuks are plentiful and easy to catch. 50 pesos for 2 peoples to take you anywhere within the town boundaries. We also walked to the hilltop lookout Mt Tapayas .. but beware, there's 720 steps to climb to get to the top from the car park!!!
