Our stay was incredible. We arrived to the hotel, after booking the same day (we had to leave our other hotel as we were not fans) Remy on reception greeted us. Welcomed us in beautifully, our bags were taken to our room and she even showed us multiple room options to ensure we were happy with our stay. It was such a convenient location, she helped us get tricycles in the town, recommended restaurants and tour and checked in on us every time we passed through the lobby and showed us a cute convient shop to buy water and essentials. Honestly we were so shocked by the level of hospitality in this hotel I would highly recommend this hotel.

If your after a little slice of peaceful heaven set on the coast away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy side of Palawan then this is the place for you! Michelle and Stephen where fantastic hosts throughout taking special effort to accommodate all of our needs and wants throughout our stay. The food is all locally sourced from their beautiful eco farm and exceptionally prepared with plenty of wine selection to complement it perfectly. They also took us out for a day excursion to their pristine private beach and a little island hopping tour across the bay to the nearest islands with a local fisherman to explore and swim. After all of this, watching the sunset over the rolling waves ended a perfect stay in the spacious room we where provided.

El Nido Resorts Pangulasian Island

El Nido
Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4
Superb - What previous guests thought, 61 reviews
This resort completely exceeded our expectations. Having stayed at multiple high-end resorts, I can attest that this resort is up there with the best. The villa couldn't have been better, with a calming view overlooking the sea. I was absolutely delighted with the à la carte breakfast, which offered plenty of fresh delicious options. The facilities are very well-thought-out, with beautiful and inviting décor, and are impeccably maintained. The island has plenty of nature to appreciate, from its lush vegetation to its different bird species, hermit crabs, monkeys, and some very shy monitor lizards. The resort has a decent range of activities that can keep you busy and entertained on rainy days (if you get them—we did [Oct'25]). The massage therapists were excellent. We took some island hopping activities which were absolutely unforgettable. The resort guide showed us around the big lagoon in kayaks, and afterwards we swam in an amazing spot where we got to view lots of coral fish, blazing-fast 40kg jackfish swimming around us, and sea turtles! Last but not least, the staff surpassed all levels of customer service we have ever experienced—it was quite simply the best, most attentive, and warm and professional. Our stay was short, but El Nido Pangulasian was able to capture our hearts, and we will definitely return many times over.

Cauayan Island Resort and Spa

El Nido
Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.3
Superb - What previous guests thought, 405 reviews
It was our first stay of our 2 week holiday in the Philippines in mid-November and it exceeded our expectations. The views were so beautiful, the resort is tranquil, and the location was on an island. I'd say it is perfect for a 2-3 night stay, as it is the only resort on the island. You will have enough time to use all facilities, snorkel, and head to the spa - we had the best massages here! Our room was very spacious and had a convenient layout. It was equipped with an outdoor shower also. Make sure to ask about the sunrise hike. A guide takes you up one of the mountains an hour before sunrise, and you will have the opportunity to sit at one of the highest points and wait for the sun to rise—magical and breathtaking! Food was good, they have a decent variety of international food to suit many. Cocktails are also good. A bit on the high side, but worth the whole experience. Highly recommended.

The best hotel in our entire stay in the Philippines! Surprisingly there are only 3 stars, should be more. Very beautiful, modern design. The staff is helpful, very friendly, everyone knows their business. Clean, can see is being personally monitored. Delicious food and a quick solution to any of your problems or situations. Sunsets are simply mesmerizing, delicious cocktails. Despite the fact that the hotel is located close to the road, there is no noise, and the "neighbours" are not visible. You can only hear roosters, but they are everywhere, so they do not disturb you. There is a refrigerator with drinks in the room.

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!

This place was a slam dunk. I have paid substantially more for a lot less than what I found here. Between the nature and the incredible reef, it was more than I expected. The rooms are very clean and well appointed and the food was decent. The real highlight was how amazing the reef was right off the shore. I have never seen more life or variety than here (turtles, cuddle fish, lion fish, sharks, etc...) all within 50 ft!

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!!!

We did the underground river tour. It was rainy but still worth it. It was one of the most unique experience for us to see how the river caves formed and all the different stalagtites and stalagmites formation Other attractions we would probably like to see is Honda Bay.

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.

Every day I walked from the hotel to Sabang wharf on the beach and on one day had coffee, adobo and itlog in a small cafe there. Everyone was very friendly, and I bought some Pasalubong, when they did not have my tee shirt size, they went to another shop to get it for me and to get change when I gave them 1000 peso note. I asked directions to the falls, but no one was exactly sure where it was or how long it would take to get there. The place was secure (police station at the wharf and coastguard and army regularly on patrol in the area. I eventually found the park that a friend recommended (5 km from the hotel) and had an excellent buffet lunch there twice and again they made Chester very welcome, the park was free and had some interesting, recycled artworks and a tribute to the devastation in the area by Typhoon Odette- well worth a visit. Also visit Buenavista viewpoint- the local community run it and you can get Buko juice, coffee, snacks and Pasalubong plus take great photos of the bay

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

El Nido has so many fun things to do, and we liked that while there were a plentitude of tourist options, we were not separated from local culture and activities that sometimes happens in other places. We were only there for four days, and we could have stayed another week. The beaches are beyond stunning, both the ones you can walk to and the ones that need a boat. The snorkeling was fantastic, the food options endless, and the vibe was chill and fun.

The calamian group of islands of which Coron is part of, is beautiful. And I hope all the measures to keep it pristine and unlittered will be successful always. There are many breathtaking sights. You would need a sizable budget though to be able to enjoy the boat tours which are wonderful. If you have the time, visit Culion. It is historical (a UNESCO site), and while the places to see could do a little tidying up, nevertheless, the history of that place invites reflection and inspires--many heroic people lived on that island. Kudos to the religious who have kept the place going since it was first established. The Culion museum should be your first stop.
