to get started.

Absolutely amazing resort! Friendly, service minded Staffan, splendid location, lots of interesting things to do. Good cuisine with a good selection of food. We were here on our honeymoon and will definately go back for an Anniversary. Highly recommended! /Lars

Lars, Sweden

The resort is beautiful and the water in Palawan is just heavenly! Best snorkeling, diving we’ve ever experienced and we dive in sipadan langkayan mataking redang Red Sea Maldives ..... visibility and marine life exceeded all expectations. It will be hard to dive anywhere else again:) the staff as in cleaners cook chef waiter bartender zoologist ....etc are top! Food is so fresh and recipes were shared by the chef whenever we asked🙏🏻 Massage was perfect! Sunsets and sunrises are like nothing I’ve seen before. The day trips to the small & big lagoon and the caves & the beach club are a must👌🏽

Jian, China

Nice place and view... clean surroundings and the staff are so nice.

Sunshine, Japan

The cleanest place I have seen in Asia, reminds me of film ‘The Beach’ before it became overrun by tourists and rubbish. The food was good, property and location seriously heaven. When I arrived I kept asking if it was real life. You can walk over a small mountain on the island ( guided by a blue rope) which takes you to a private beach where you can snorkel. Really beautiful reef with lots to see and you can either canoe back or be picked up by boat to the resort.

Ashley, Australia

The food was delicious, staff were awesome and the facilities were great. We specially liked the lagoon to relax and occasionally, paddle board.

Mariatheresita, United States of America

Wow is all I can say. Over the top in every way. I added the optional food and recreation so it was amazingly easy to dine and get around. The lunch and dinner buffet was next level, everything was fresh, tasty and different daily.

Dewayne, United States of America

The staff of this hotel were so awesome. We missed our connecting flight from Cebu to El Nido and had to catch a flight the next day from Cebu to Pourta Princessa then catch a van ride to El Nido we arrived a day late. The manager of the hotel offered for us to move our whole booking by one day so we did not miss out on our stay. This was so amazing of them as we were looking most forward to our time in Miniloc and would have lost a whole day there. The staff are so well trained and helpful we really made the most of our time at the resort. We stayed in Miniloc for 3 nights and Lagen for 3 nights and that was perfect. Will definitely come back again.

Candice, South Africa

I love everything in this resort. the staff are all lovely and attentive with all your needs. the boat tour guides are exellent. The food are all tasty and fresh everyday. I want to thank to John Sanders and to the chef Carlos they make our short stay amazingly beautiful and Ron who look after me when I'm not feeling well he make sure I have my lugaw and also to the lady doctor thank you for making me feel safe.

“Gorgeous heavenly place but sadly has bad management that lacks charisma and professionalism”

- • Water Cottage
- • Stayed 4 nights

Unfortunately it is the opposite when it came to management:( we had a few issues while there and the manager Jan and even those above her like Mr Paul Kerr were a big disappointment. I would probably not go again until I know that they’ve changed the both of them. Paul Kerr is the least charismatic man I’ve ever met and I’ve met a lot of people in my 42 years of being alive:) and in the 10 years I’ve lived in Asia. I wonder if it’s his nationality that creates this cultural barrier (he is so NOT what a resort in Asia needs for a manager) or is it just his personality?! Regardless, I could think of at least 6 members of the staff that would make better managers than Jan and Paul, like Pratz-Bianca-John-the other John:)- Sanders-the chef (forgot his name🤭 but he is the best), even the tour guide Randy and Loverr from the fishing excursion can probably do a better job. When I suggested to one of the staff members that I would like to see if Jan or Paul would suggest sending us an invite for a couple nights to compensate the lost time we had because of all the incompetences we faced by the management, the staff went to convey the message... AND SURPRISE! Nothing was done. The resort manager Jan herself didn’t come to the greeting / farewell point where every few hours she goes to to wave and sing guests farewell. Disappointed Yes. But is El Nido the most gorgeous spot in this earth?! Well google says it’s the 4th best in the world. I say it could possibly be #1 Also restaurant closes at 9pm and room service and beach bar stop serving any food from 10pm leaving the island too sleepy too early (and in my case too hungry:) even though we opted for the full board option for all days.
