While the property is still in its soft opening phase, it definitely did not disappoint. The location is very convenient with just 5-8 mins trip from the airport by trike or hotel service & 5-min walk from the beach where different restaurants are located. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and the full glass windows show a calming view of trees that lull you to sleep as they sway with the wind. I was even woken up by monkeys playing the next morning! Should’ve booked a longer stay but I’m definitely looking forward to staying here again once the hotel is finished!

Our 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!

Host Amelia went above and beyond our expectations. She ensured we had transport to and from the airport, was there to greet us and also farewell us, shared her knowledge of the best places to see on the island, and gave us great recommendations for food and dining. She hooked us with driver Junjun who was an absolute legend. No matter how many times we went back and forth, he was there to take us. The bed was incredibly comfy, and the pillows were to die for. The room was very quiet even though there were beach clubs nearby. It was a 5-8 minute Tuktuk ride to the main El Nido strip. We had plenty of snacks, water and alcohol in the fridge. Our washing was done in under 24 hours, and was still warm when we got it back. The room was very private, and it honestly felt luxurious with a touch is island living. The location is SUPERB! Maybe 30 meters from Panorama Beach club, you can't get much better than that. Amelia, we loved staying at your accommodation and will be recommending it to everyone coming to El Nido. Thank you so much!!!

From the start until the end, Club Paradise never disappoint us. Land & boat transfer was smooth, we were welcomed by Noel when we first landed and I can already feel the warmth throughout our journey to the island. Room: Our sunset villa was really nice. The room was nicely designed and we had surprise swan & crab deco in our room from time to time throughout our stay. The only thing that I can say which will else make our stay perfect is if in any of our 4 nights there, we were able to watch sunset from our room. But I know this is at no point was the resort's fault, as we were quite unlucky to check in just when typhoon passed so the weather was not really on our side. Meals: For resort level especially their location in secluded island, their meals were surprisingly affordable compared to other resorts. Meals were fulfilling but I really love their Ovaltine drink and couldn't get enough of it. Activities: We booked our Coron tour through resort, and I will say that this is the best tour that I've ever been to! For the price paid, we got boat and land transfer, in addition to private tour with a really helpful and knowledgeable guide. We also got freshly cooked lunch, and our guide even helped took pictures for us throughout the tour. 5 stars for the service! Other than that, the resort also offer free guided snorkerling around the island and we got to see 2 turtles during our morning snorkel. They also provide free kayak that you can use around the island. Service: I would like to express our gratitude towards everything that the resort staff did to ensure we had a really memorable stay. The kitchen team paid attention to our dietary restrictions and even prepared a separate meals so we can enjoy our dinner. I also remember that the hotel manager checked on us in the morning during breakfast to ensure our room was alright, and when I told them about the water pressure issue in the room, they sent someone to fix it right away.

Astoria is our go-to, favorite resort whenever we are in Puerto Princesa City. We were assigned to the Nest where we had a direct access to the pool and very close to the Waterpark. We always love the excellent breakfast at Astoria because of its Filipino, international array of menu and of course the dessert! My son loves the ube pancake and waffles! The staff are so hands on and so nice. They go an an extra mile to make us feel at home. Lemuel at the entertainment center took care of our son - playing with him different board games - Agustin at the waterpark was extra nice and took good care of the kids; Joven at the breakfast table was so nice; and others I forgot the names..

The view and location was spectacular. You’ll get the sunrise and sunset view. Plus, if you’re fortunate you can spot a black tip shark (non-aggressive) in some parts of the beach as you snorkel. Aside from these, the staff were exceptional. They were warm and helpful. Special mention to our lovely tour guides, Anton and Andrew, who took special care to our toddler so we were able to snorkel during the trips. Overall, it was a lovely experience and you will definitely go back here.

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!!!

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.

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.
