""This was our first time in Asia, first time in the Philippines. Everyone said Palawan was beautiful, so we planned around it, and almost didn’t include Nacpan at all. We nearly just stayed in town the whole time. Really glad we didn’t. Nacpan doesn’t have a lot going on in terms of restaurants and nightlife, but the resort itself has a pool, a gym, a massage area, kayaks and SUPs to borrow, and there were other vendors nearby renting sandboards. We could have stayed busy all day. But honestly,...

Mansion Buenavista

10/10 Excellent

"Only 8 rooms, you are like family, similar to a bed & breakfast. Our final day our flight was super early in the morning. They packed a breakfast to go for us. If you like a washcloth you may want to bring one or a loofah, but you will find at most of the hotels in Philippines don't have them."

Amari By Vivere Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel it's just AMAZING.... Beautiful hotel with a wonderful inifinity pool on the rooftop. Rooms are super comfortable, clean, flawless, great AC. Staff is super welcoming, helpful, kind and willing to serve you great atention. Breakfast was beyond good they offer a great variety and everything is amazing. Also drinks and cocktails are!!! They welcome you with the mini fridge (beers, sodas, snacks) and you can fill up a pitcher of water anytime as much as you want... They also left some cockies at my room on the evening as a surprise and the BEST of all.... they took me to the ferry station for free.... Oh and I forgot to mention.... Great location everything is close many options for dinning, shopping and bars.... Great great great place to stay I totally recommend this place."

H Hotel El Nido - Vegan Friendly Hotel

10/10 Excellent

""Honestly, as someone who treats eating like a religion, my biggest fear coming to El Nido was checking into a place that slaps “vegan” on the menu and serves you a sad plate of lettuce with nothing to say for itself. H Hotel is not that place. The chickpea omelette eats more like a French crêpe, slightly bitter at the finish, but in an interesting way. I went back for more that evening. Breakfast has real variety too. Over three days I had something different each time: pancakes, the chickpea omelette, yoghurt bowl. The pancakes are genuinely massive, the kind where two people sharing one is not a bad idea, and you’ll still leave full. For dinner I ordered the bang bang tofu. Crispy outside, sweet and spicy sauce, really good. Probably even better shared across a few dishes at the table. One downside: the bathroom is small and nicely designed, but the sliding door angle means water ends up on the floor outside the shower. The hotel does leave a mat there, so they know. I stayed in a sea view room. The balcony with chairs is my favourite thing about it. Early morning the light is still this grey-blue colour, sea and mountains just sitting there quietly. I stayed out longer than I planned. Staff member Sky sorted us a private speedboat for island hopping, just the two of us, not packed onto a boat with thirty strangers. Worth every peso. The massage place next door has a discount for hotel guests. I went twice. The second time I actually needed it."

Cadlao Resort & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Amazing place to stay with great view! The food was delicious and service impeccable. Best part was the top notch food presentation. You could tell the person who made it loves their job. Only thing I could suggest to improve would be lighting in the room. At night, even with all the lights on, was not enough while packing my luggage."

El Nido Coco Resort

8/10 Good

"My friend and I really enjoyed our stay here. The family bungalow was cute. It would’ve been helpful to have some wall hooks for hanging wet items and more counter space for our personal things. The food was fabulous! The staff were amazing! The location in Corong Corong was perfect as it was a short ride from town and we were picked up close by for our boat tours with APE TOURS. 😊"
