Surrounded by verdant cliffs and azure waters, El Nido in the Philippines is a coastal settlement complete with beaches, lagoons and palm-lined shores. From relaxing by the beach to participating in water sports and adventures – there are lots to do on this island.
Among all the places in El Nido, Las Cabanas is one of the most sought-after destinations boasting clear waters, golden beaches and rolling hills. If you wish to see the ocean’s contrasting hues, head to Big Lagoon – a postcard-perfect pool surrounded by lofty cliffs. The water here teems with marine life like fish and clams, thus making it an ideal spot for kayaking and snorkelling. For more places to kayak, stop at Small Lagoon – a quiet corner bordered by limestone cliffs peppered with patches of greenery.
While one of the most convenient ways to travel from Manila to El Nido is by a turboprop plane, the most pocket-friendly way is to catch a flight to Puerto Princesa and finally hop on a van to El Nido.

El Nido is always a great choice for visiting islands in the Philippines. Weather has been perfect during our stay. It rained for a short while during our stay but the sun would always find its way to show up. highly recommend island hopping tour A if you want to enjoy the secret lagoon and the big lagoon. Majestic sights. Definitely a must see.

El Nido is beautiful but this dive hotel was unsafe, unhygienic, outdated and uncomfortable. A 2 star rating would be extremely generous. We actually purchased daypasses at a real resort (Cadloa) which helped salvage the days that we planned to spend in El Nido at our hotel when not on excursion tours. There are NO redeeming qualities for this hotel. Staff unfriendly and not helpful, facilities unkept and not maintained, food/meals terrible, insect infestation and starving cats/dogs on sight unsettling and depressing. Just a NO all around.

El Nido is a must place to visit in the world with it's natural wonder. After you've had a taste of the island, you will keep on returning to discover paradise...every place you've landed it's stunning. This is definitely one of the place you would want to retire.
The beach of El nido wasn’t that good anymore like it was.

The beach of El nido wasn’t that good anymore like it was. the beach it’s self not ideal for family interest. once you visit el nido, you cant go swimm anymore because the water was dirty. the only place you can go was the Lio beach.
Lots to see and do.

Lots to see and do. Too many tourists for my liking, but to be expected with great beaches, restaurants and bars to explore. Generally a good vibe. Because the locals are so nice, it seems to put everyone in a good mood.
The location was beautiful.

The location was beautiful. One our first day we got a spa massive for 2 hours. As you are getting massaged you look down into a view of the beautiful ocean and wildlife. The water villa was large and comfortable. All staff were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I wouldn’t change a thing about the resort or our experience except maybe staying a little bit longer. We only stayed for 2 nights but I would recommend at least 3 or 4 as there are so many activities offered.
