This was the biggest surprise and the best resort I had ever stayed in my life. I choose a little higher in price as for my last day trip to Philippines and I can not describe in words what I felt as soon as I reached the property. Everyone was by the beach waiting for me as if I was family and all the service going on during my stay was exceptional. No words to describe the feeling! I can write a lot about the beauty of the place, the clear crystal water of the sea and everything else, but no words will define the proper beauty of it. For me it felt like my home away from home, like I belonged to that place, and it is all because of the staff, Herwin or Gigi as I prefer better and everyone else, I am very happy I choose to end my celebration of my birthday at your place, I loved every second, I still feel like I can cry from the emotions. Everyone should experience such a great place, spoil yourself, it is worth any penny. I hope I can see sometime soon all of you. Thank you for making my stay the best part of my travel!

Impeccable Cleanliness and Maintenance: "Rooms were spotless, and the facilities were well-maintained." "The hotel's cleanliness and the staff's professionalism and kindnesses surpassed our expectations." Comfortable Accommodations: "Beds were exceptionally comfortable." Our Beach Villa was the most amazing room on the resort. Herwin & James were certainly the best host we have ever had, we miss them already. Perfect romantic views, everything was just absolutely stunning. Great fresh food, service and the private beach was just breathtaking. We were treated like royalties. We will definitely come back in the future. We loved all the little details they thought off. They deserve more than a 10/10. We love you guys❤️ thank you for giving us the best time of our lives.

There are quite a lot of steps so the resort is not handicap accessible. Not that we required it but thinking of other members of the family that might not be able to climb the stairs to the room for future trips.

The Vellago Resort staff were excellent. They were very welcoming even though our flight was delayed until the evening. The accommodations were amazing. Having the corals and the beach available to snorkel right in front of the resort was convenient. The view was breathtaking. Dinner was excellent with chef prepared meals. The services such as island hoping using the resort's speed boat and in-room massages provided by the resort were great. Nina, the resort manager, was always available if needed. The breakfast served in the rooms were fresh and tasty. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone!

We stayed for 4 nights on a leg of our honeymoon in the Philippines. The hotel is absolutely stunning, we pulled up by boat and were just amazed by it! It really feels like paradise and with so few rooms we barely saw other guests! The food was some of the best we had in the Philippines with gorgeous beachfront dining every night and lanterns lighting the shoreline on the beach it was really romantic. Our room and the view was just breathtaking we couldn’t get over it and having breakfast on the balcony brought to us each morning was total luxury. We weren’t bothered at all by the visitors on tours to seven commandos beach as it is far away down the other end of the beach and the hotel keeps beds and swimming area for guests only so don’t let that put you off in any way - book to stay! I had high expectations due to the price point but I would say it was totally worth it! Thank you to all the amazing staff, and the cute resident sausage dogs max and Bella for a perfect stay.

Absolutely everything…the position of the resort, the food, the staff. It was a little corner of paradise. On top we stayed there for NYE, and everyone made this trip quite a memorable one. We even had the pleasure to meet the owner (Josephine) during our stay, and she had a very good eye for details and a lot of taste when it comes to create beautiful sceneries and food for her guests. Jeed at the reception was so helpful and helped us organised our day trips and divings, and they do so very efficiently and with a lot of passion. I would definitely like to go back there. Thank you for the stay

Romantic remote location with a paradise view. I had wonderful room on top floor which was very private with a view to sunsets and great relaxing area in a balcony. The stuff was extremely accommodating and making you feel well taken care of. Food was fantastic, design details of the room were beautiful... nothing to complain about.

The only thing that we didn’t like was having to leave this amazing resort!!!

They food was amazing the people were exceptional! The private boat tour was a highlight and the captain and mate did an excellent job of accommodating our wants and needs.

The privacy and relax that gave us this accommodation and location in a beautiful beach. Love the Coral just in front of the hotel and warm water to explore the surroundings where we saw a lot of clown fishes and a turtle. They have snorkel equipment and kayaks complementary, I really love the shower soaps, very comfortable bed, the hotel is clean and very comfortable. We could see beautiful birds having breakfast in our room’s balcony. The Tour around el nido is pretty recommended.

I'm honestly in awe of this place. I can't find fault at all.

This resort really is a gem. Staff was amazing and really hands on. Kudos to the chef. Really awesome food served. The view is absolutely fantastic. Would recommend this place to all my friends and fellow travellers.

Hard to find anything, but I guess my only disappointment was that other than the main deluxe room, all of the rooms do not have a door on the toilet/shower and has no extractor fan and all have large windows into the bedroom, so privacy using the bathroom is zero, I asked the staff to place a curtain for us. I know this is trivial and won't bother most, but some things should remain private💩 😂😂 The other thing to consider is this is the tropics so you will see bugs, ants, snakes and spiders just like the mainland of which we seen most days, especially if your looking for them haha.

I don't often write reviews but I had no choice but I felt compelled. First of all I want to say the staff make this place exceptional, the effort and service goes far beyond what it should. The photos on booking.com do not even come close to the beauty of this place, when you ride in on the boat which is the only way to access the resort, you will soon come to realise you made a superb choice. There are only 5 bungalow style rooms at this resort, we stayed in the deluxe sea view room with the hanging egg chair for two nights, and then swiftly tried to book a further 3 nights but had to settle for one of the other rooms as it was booked, but they too are beautiful. The effort put into the ambience and landscaping leading into the bungalows is Bali like, with a Buddhist feel, it's beautiful beyond words, it's magical. We were lucky to have the whole hotel to ourselves the first two nights and the staff went to an amazing effort to make us our evening meal on the beach, the staff really do go above and beyond. The darkness of what actually feels like an island, as it's shut off from the mainland makes the stars at night burst out, so beach walks with your partner are extra special! ( You will also have your own personal security guard in the form of the one of the resort dogs who will escort you up and down the beach😂😂 Two sausage dogs max and Bella, and two island dogs, they are all so lovey and friendly) it was like a home from home. The beach hosts tours from the mainland throughout the day at the lower end of the beach, so you get the occasional tourist looking to take some photos of the resort as it's very picturesque, but once the sun sets ( which you have a premium view of here ) you are alone on the beach/resort. if you are looking for that desert island feel, this is the place. Thank you all so much, matamang salamat po.

If you are looking for a secluded, romantic getaway, I can highly recommend Vellago Resort. The staff went above and beyond in every way. They tidy the room every time you leave, bring breakfast to your terrace, and arrange the daybeds at the beach for you. Everyone there went out of their way to make sure we had a nice stay. The wifi in the room is good and the food is delicious. Since there are only a handful of rooms, you really feel like you have the whole place to yourself. If you are planning a trip to El Nido , you cannot miss this place!

It would have been nice to have more privacy for the bathroom/shower area.

The STAFF was amazing from Marcello then Krisha, to Abe, Kent, Bong, Errol, Julius, John, Bern, Joey, Medin, Angelo, Warren, Ping, John, Patrick, Romulo, Marlon, and Ping.
