NetherlandsThe staff was very helpful and friendly with everything we wanted to know. Quick to respond via WhatsApp and all around great staff. The room was spacious, very clean and quite silent for the position it has. Still they provide earplugs! Worth the money and a great experience to have stayed there. Free cold water taps near each room. The breakfast at Ver De was delicious and good in portion size too.

IsraelWe had a great experience at Amari Hotel! The place is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Even though there is some construction happening at the moment, it didn’t bother us at all — the atmosphere is still peaceful and relaxing. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is great, close to the beach and perfect for exploring El Nido.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again once everything is fully finished! Highly recommended! 🌴✨

Nadine
From
New ZealandOur stay at Z Garden Hotel was an absolute delight. The property was situated in the most ideal location - right by the port for great views and away from the hustle and noise of the town centre.
What stood out to us the most was the exceptional service by all the staff, specifically by Pau and Remy, especially when things got chaotic from the typhoon.
Before our island tour, Remy gave us bottled water and beach towels without us having to ask, umbrellas as soon as she saw us step an inch out of the lobby, and moved the water dispenser closer to our room to make our lives that extra bit easier.
During the typhoon, Pau offered earplugs to help us sleep at night, and personally knocked on our door (at the peak of the typhoon) with a beaming smile to offer her assistance and make sure we were okay. On top of that, she offered for breakfast to be delivered to our room since it was still deemed unsafe to go outside.
The amenities were top notch (SMEG kettle + Dyson Airwrap) and housekeeping always left the room spotless (despite us leaving sand all over the floor). A wonderful helper also helped carry all our luggage up 2 flights of stairs.
We could not recommend this place enough. From the new amenities, great views and exceptional staff, your stay at El Nido will be absolutely unforgettable!

My friend and I spent 4 nights at Lagen. The full experience was great from airport pick up (dedicated counter at airport) to the transfer to the island. The property has a great location; the rooms are well kept, the activities, the food, drinks but most of all the staff absolutely the best. One day we went to the big lagoon, we kayaked out way back to the boat, there were a few other boats, it was windy and there was current, somehow our kayak ended up under the proa of the hotel boat and with the waves we were afraid it would hit us in the head, another boat passed by so close and made more waves which made the situation more difficult, our Lagen guide didn’t hesitate to throw himself to the water to help us! we tried to find him later but this was the day before we checked out. Will anyone in the hotel help us find him? my friend and I are avid travelers, I live in UAE where hospitality has a high standard and to me El Nido Lagen is one of the best hotel I’ve stayed in my whole life! loved everyday of my holiday

Amazing experience that I never had before in a hotel in Southeast Asia! The staff is extremely nice at every moment you are in the hotel, making sure you are having the best time. Awesome sunset with happy hour drinks everyday at the rooftop bar, with jacuzzis on it. Free drinks and food bites across the day, with incredibly tasty lunch and dinners with live music. For my wife's birthday, they prepared a romantic dinner with a 5 course meal and music that was an incredible experience for us! Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Palawan for their vacation!

Honestly, this place is just on another level. The whole resort is beautiful — from the white sand beach, the relaxing villas, the view of the mountains, and all that nature around you. Everywhere you look, it just feels peaceful and private. The staff was accommodating and easy to approach. And I have to mention the food — everything we tried was delicious. It really exceeded our expectations. Honestly, every corner of this resort is picture-perfect. Now I understand why everyone calls this a 5-star experience. Would 100% love to come back again!

The breakfast was really well prepared..much better than other breakfast included. The staff was awsome and in our first hour we found a tricycle driver that was more than helpful in showing us everything that Puerto Princesa had to offer.That then became our main mode of transportation,,the experience of seeing through a local was fantastic,and he also bragged about the hotel to us..Our only regret was not scheduling more time to visit the area,,,meaning we will be returning..Look for tricycle driver Ryan Rosales...highly recomended......

Lio is another nice spot to stay.
Town is good if you like going out to eat, and see a lot of things
But staying in lio, nacpan or duli is also nice if you want a more peaceful, quiet time. even sibaltan would be nice (check out the manta rays if you dive)

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

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.

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

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.
