In addition to everything being perfect with the rooms, cleanliness, and location, I must say a word of appreciation for the staff. I have never stayed at a hotel with such friendly and helpful staff who did everything to make our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend it.

The staff was truly wonderful—every single person we met was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in how we were feeling and what we were doing. From the reception team to security, everyone went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The team was always reachable via WhatsApp, which made everything even more convenient. We always felt very safe and well taken care of. They supported us in every little detail, and it honestly felt like being at home. We’ve never experienced hospitality quite like this, and we already miss them. Our room was beautifully decorated and always spotless. The housekeeping lady was an absolute treasure. The hotel itself is beautiful and in a great location, but what made our stay truly special were the people. A very very special thanks to Remy and Renz for going the extra mile every single time! ❤️

Beautiful place. Very VERY clean room! path to the restaurant is amazing. You feel like it is the end of Puerto Princessa, but that makes that place special. It is so quiet! You can always take a taxi to the main city or walk. All the staff (two women and the new guy) were super nice and helpful! Seriously, if you like quiet and calm you have to stay in this location ♡ if I ever will be in Puerto Princessa I will choose this place again, 100%!

Our stay at The View Lodges was simply magical! Nestled in the heart of the jungle, the peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking surroundings made for an unforgettable experience. At night, the sky comes alive with countless stars—truly a sight to behold. The owners are fantastic—friendly, always ready to help, and with a great sense of humor that makes you feel right at home. Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. The lodge itself is new, spotless, and beautifully designed, offering both comfort and a connection to nature. Breakfast - absolutely delicious—the eggs, toast, mushrooms were the perfect start to the day! Nico, thanks for your perfect Banana bread as well! 👌 A short walk away, we discovered one of the best beaches we visited in the Philippines—pristine, quiet, and perfect for relaxation. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in Port Barton with stunning nature, and warm hospitality, The View Lodges is the place to be! 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.

El Nido Resorts Pangulasian Island

El Nido
Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.5
Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 66 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!

The room is very clean, the facilities are new, and I'm most satisfied with the front desk service. They handle scooter rentals, airport transfers, and have information on diving shops and travel agencies in Two seasons bayside hotel. Since we switched rooms on the last day, the staff considerately moved our luggage to the new room. Also, just inform the front desk for scooter rental and return; the service is attentive and thoughtful.

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!

We stayed at Nacpan beach and it is really the best beaches I have seen internationally. Beautiful golden sand, gentle waves - but you do get nice waves so it keeps things interesting. When we visited in January there were no crowds and it was very serene. We also rented a scooty and rode to Lio Beach - it has a good vibe, few shacks for food and drinks and some shopping. It was much busier than Nacpan beach and a good change of pace. You will need to carry cash everywhere - even the shacks don't accept cards. We also went for the Island tour A - we opted for a private tour. And it was perfect with some snorkeling, kayaking, lounging on beaches and lunch at an island. We didn't have time to visit any waterfalls inland. We had been to Cebu - Kawasan Falls before arriving in El Nido so we were okay with that. Kawasan falls Canyoneering is a must do activity for those with a taste for adventure and if you love water.

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.

A delightful quiet backwater and so far less developed town. The beaches were beautiful and mostly clean. The town has plenty of activities to offer and places to eat. The whole place is walkable but you may want a Tuktuk or moped to visit further beaches.

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!
