The view, the jungle, and the accommodation were exceptional. The owners, Jim and Nico, were very kind and welcoming. The coffee and the homemade banana bread were delicious — especially the banana bread, which was a perfect treat. The place is quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it ideal for relaxation. Just a few meters away there is a great restaurant with amazing views and excellent food. Overall, a wonderful stay in a calm and harmonious spot. Highly recommended!

Our stay at the Alon villa was absolutely perfect! The villa is situated in a beautiful, peaceful setting, ideal for relaxation and enjoying nature. Every morning, we started our day with a delightful breakfast outdoors, surrounded by greenery and birdsong – a true paradise for the soul. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to assist and make our stay as pleasant as possible. We especially appreciated that, since we didn’t have our own transportation, they provided us with the contact of a driver named Willy. He was truly the kindest driver ever – always available, smiling, and ready to take us wherever we needed to go, at any time of day or night. Since the villa is located away from the main road and tricycles couldn’t reach the property, Willy accompanied us to the villa every evening, ensuring we arrived safely. This level of care and attention truly impressed us. Overall, our stay at the villa was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be coming back! We highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect place to relax.

Fantastic! We loved it, we had an amazing 3 nights. Incredible views, amazing food, and we loved the bamboo cottage balcony. Everyone is nice and helpful and everything works well, the tour organisation, transfers, the pick up from airport..etc. As vegetarians that love organic food, we loved the organic garden they have with their fruits and veggies! 100% recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful and healthy stay in the jungle. It’s also very convenient for the subterranean river. Obviously, you need to be okay with insects as it’s in the jungle.

Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.5
Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 65 reviews
Our stay at El Nido Resorts Pangulasian was truly unforgettable. Surrounded by stunning nature, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets, the resort offers the perfect mix of luxury and tranquility. We stayed in a beautifully decorated and well-equipped beach villa with a stunning sea view. The food and drink options were excellent, and the choice of activities was fantastic. A highlight was our 4-hour private boat tour, where starting early at 7 AM allowed us to enjoy El Nido’s most beautiful spots in peaceful solitude. We happened to come across a school of about a hundred dolphins who were curious enough to approach all around our boat. The hospitality was outstanding. Special thanks to Younes, the Food and Beverage Director, who made our stay memorable—just as he did during our honeymoon at Raffles Maldives four years ago. Also, a big thank you to Anton (the waiter), Anton (the guide), and Rei (the experience assistant) for their exceptional service. El Nido Resorts Pangulasian is a dream destination for anyone seeking luxury, adventure, and natural beauty. Highly recommended!

Great location in Puerto Princessa, local transport's available on the main road just outside of the resort whenever you need it. They'll also arrange your transport around the rest of Palawan which made things easy. The staff as well as the manager were incredible - very helpful people and accommodated my girlfriend and myself fantastically. The site is well maintained and the rooms are spacious and very clean with a great wifi connection. If you're looking for comfort and a beautiful place to relax with everything you need than look no further. This gem in Puerto Princessa has it all and you get more than what you paid for.

The airport and almost all hotels are located on Busuanga (the neighbour island of Coron). There is hardly anything to see here. Neither nice beaches nor varied landscapes. You have to take boat trips to the neighbouring island of Coron or go diving. Both are great. Coron with its lakes, lagoons, caves and beaches is amazing. The underwater world is more varied than in El Nido, Moalboal or Boracay.

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 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!
