"My stay at El Nido Resorts Lagen Island was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff's warmth and genuine hospitality were exceptional; they always wore smiles and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. From assisting with ferry bookings to surprising me on my birthday with a beautifully decorated bed and a delightful cake, their thoughtfulness was truly heartwarming. Special thanks to Carell, Jojo, Harnie, John, and Arvin for their outstanding support.
The resort's happy vibe upon arrival sets the tone, and you leave with a smile, longing for more. The complimentary tours, seamlessly integrated into the package, were made exceptional by the supportive guides, creating a private and well-timed experience. Opting for the overwater bungalow was a unique and enchanting experience, adding to the paradise that is El Nido Lagen Island.
The buffet-style meals offered three times a day were a culinary delight. I wholeheartedly recommend El Nido Resorts Lagen Island for an unforgettable and highly recommended getaway. Thank you for an exceptional stay!"
"Enjoyed our stay here. Room was nice and bed was comfortable. It met our expectations. Lots of amenities and activities. The pool was amazing and the view is great. Perfect sunsets. Water was not potable so stock up on water. We got the jr. suite but it was really like a deluxe room but ok for the price. Would love to have seen a regular suite and the view. Breakfast was good each day. We only ate dinner once on the roof but it was raining and we didn’t enjoy it very much. Staff was excellent. Recommend staying here when you’re in el nido."
"This place was absolute paradise. The beach is stunning with beautiful sunsets just around the corner. There are loads of beach bars and restaurants around and the beach is clean with clear waters. Many tourists travel here for the day and stay elsewhere so this place was perfect for those evenings in a bar or on the porch and looking at the sea. This place is right on the sea and listening to the waves while falling asleep was relaxing. The amenities were excellent and a lovely warm shower to wash away the sand. The only issue with this place was the service and lack of cleaning/ restocking. Sand is an inevitability and we lacked the necessary tools to clean the room so it got quite sandy after a couple of days and the cups from the welcome drinks were there for three days. We don’t require or expect daily cleaning but we stayed 5 nights and the room was made up once (not including bedding and towels). That being said, this place is amazing. There are few better locations and the calmness made for a perfect little break for us. Will definitely stay here again! Also a little bonus for dog lovers- there is a gorgeous little beach dog that chills on the porch and gets excited every time you come and go! He was super friendly, loving us and loved by all the guests!"
"The hotel is simple but quite comfortable and clean. There were 6 nights. No special difficulties experienced. Staff polite. Happy to help us. And the restaurant in Elnido told where to take the bike and how to go to the market.
Breakfast was included in the cost."
"I had a wonderful stay at RC Villas Resort! The villas were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering a perfect mix of luxury and comfort. The private pool was a fantastic addition, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax.
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed. The location was convenient, close to local attractions and great restaurants.
I highly recommend RC Villas Resort for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!"

"Great party hostel with lots of events and very good well trained staff.
The location is ten minutes by tuk-tuk to town so isn’t the best but in return you do get to chill right on the beach.
The food and drinks at the bar are amazing but they are a little more expensive than downtown el nido.
The beds and the bathroom facilities are clean and well looked after with plenty of bum guns to sort you out after eating a bad meal in town.
The entrance and exit could do with improving especially at night as you have to get in from the beach which isn’t ideal at night when there is a high tide and/ or loads of rabid dogs barking and running toward you."
"We stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days. The view in our room was awesome! 🤩 I chose and loved this hotel as it's closed to anywhere and it's in the center of El-nido.Island Tours offices,Motorbike rentals and Laundry services,Restaurants are closed to it. One thing there is no parking lot if you have a car. So you need to do the Pay Parking nearby.Food is great but not so many choices."
"Thanks to the hotel for creating an atmosphere of comfort! Very friendly staff, fluent in English. The hotel offers tours of the islands, as well as a transfer to Puerto Princesa Airport. Happiness Boutique does not have direct access to the beach, but Vanilla Beach is located nearby, and by renting a bike, you can visit other beaches on the island."
"Stayed at this hotel for three nights. The hotel is definitely worth the money. The owner of the hotel is Dutch, simply an amazing person. He personally helped us with organizing an excursion to the sea, called and they brought us a bike to rent, ordered us a transfer for the return trip, and even changed our dollars. In short, if you come to this hotel, you do not need to resolve any organizational issues, everything will be provided to you at the hotel.
The rooms are very spacious and clean. Excellent breakfast. Portioned, but to choose from. Be sure to have dinner at the hotel, the chef cooks delicious food.
There is one minus, the hotel is located on the road and all the rooms face the road, which makes it quite noisy at night. But the worst thing for me was not the cars, but the dogs and roosters that crowed around the clock. But, if you don’t have problems falling asleep, then you definitely won’t be disappointed."

Amazing
CCallum TWe had a wonderful stay at Piece Lio! Absolutely everything exceeded our expectations.
The airport transfer was swift and very well done, and we were able to check in early. The hotel helped us organise tours and trips, and staff were incredibly helpful and courteous.
The room had very modern facilities, from a superb smart Chinese toilet to a Marshall speaker in the room, and a large fridge for drinks. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the walk in closet similarly was spacious and well organised.
In addition, the location was incredible, within a 5 minute walk to Lio Beach and all the restaurants and bars included, as well as regular transfers to and from El Nido town proper.
Next time we are back we look forwards to booking another stay with Piece Lio!
Ggibo_27Zuri Resort is truly one of the best places to stay in Coron! The hotel facilities are great. There are multiple pools - infinity pool, jacuzzi and a pool bar also.
The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. Staffs are also friendly, professional and accommodating.
Food is also great - there is a wide variety in their buffet breakfast. Ala carte orders in their resto and bars are also great!
The hotel is one of the few located near the bay area which gives you a good view of the sea and the Coron islands.
It is just not walkable from the main town, but you can take a tricycle going to the town. They are parked outside the hotel, or you can ask the hotel staff to get one for you.
Overall, a great experience. Will indeed remoccomend this to my friends and will surely come back to this hotel!
JJackie08As always, excellent customer service. I appreciate that they allowed me to have breakfast even if it is not yet 6am as I need to leave before 6am. Their free shuttle service is really a plus!
PPau.I liked the hostel very much, the staff as is very common in the Philippines is extremely polite and always helpful, I loved the unusual big bunk bed and I wish I could've stay until the last day I planned to stay, however the weather force me to leave one day earlier and I really hoped the hostel will understand my position, considering that nature conditions are out of my control and I couldn't take the risk of not making it to Coron to get my flight out of the Philippines, sadly I ended paying double for accommodation, and haven't been able to see as much as I expected of the country.
GGuest UserAmazing hotel, the most elegant in the area. They have 2 pools very big and clean. It was raining but still hot so we decided to spend the day at the hotel at the pool. They have an amazing service. The staff is very kind. They have access to the beach not the best in the area but very clean and calm. After 12pm the water goes up like 500m far so it's common to walk on the sand. Very chic, clean and amazing service.
100% recommended
Aannaleah lacotoOne night at Astoria Palawan is simply not enough! I had an amazing time during my short stay and truly believe that at least 5 days are needed to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer—especially the Astoria Waterpark, which is fun, exciting, and well-maintained.The entire resort atmosphere is peaceful and beautifully kept, perfect for relaxing or adventure-filled days.
The buffet dinner was very delicious—great variety and flavors! The fire dance performance—it was absolutely mesmerizing and added a magical touch to the evening.
However, I noticed the breakfast buffet lacked halal-friendly options. I had only chicken adobo, egg, and fish only. Most of the main dishes, including the soup and hotdogs, contained pork, which may be a concern for Muslim or halal-conscious guests. I hope they consider offering more inclusive meal options in the future.
Special thanks to Ms. Princess Gaflu at the front desk for her warm and professional service, and Alonso, the attendant at the waterpark, who went above and beyond to guide me, take photos and videos, and make me feel welcome. His friendly attitude made my experience even more memorable!
If I didn’t have prior appointments in Manila, I would have stayed longer—and I definitely will next time! For me, Palawan means Astoria. Not El Nido. Just Astoria. It’s the best place to stay in the province—hands down!
Can’t wait to come back.
GGuest UserMantiloc resort is a paradise. If you are looking for a relaxing time in a unique spot this place is for you. The staff are so kind and helpful, they make it an amazing stay. The half day boat trip is also well worth it and one of the best parts of our trip.
The menu could do with being expanded, with more vegetarian and vegan options. Also a barista coffee option would make it perfect., though a nespresso machine was a available upon request
GGuest UserThe room and cleaness all good, but trip.com and service in terms of booking is a horrible experience. IF YOU ARE READING THIS REVIEW, STAY AWAY FROM TRIP.COM!!! This platform is one of the worst, we had a trouble with check in because hotel could not find our booking, the hotel itself is perfect but trip.com isn't. They also refused us to refund for not used night and early check-in. This should be as crime to not have a possibility to refund! Be careful where you book your hotel!
AALEKSEIThank you very much for the welcome and accommodation! Everything was great, despite the fact that for the first time we lived with a shared bathroom. Clean, pleasant, a rare mansion. It is wonderful that the furniture, mirrors, drawings, details of past centuries have been preserved. Natural wood is everywhere, we were impressed! We arrived before the check-in time and we were accommodated without any problems. They also provided a free breakfast, as a compliment. There is a gazebo outside where you can sit, good internet, there is even a piano in the living room. Despite the small rooms and shared bathroom, we are happy!
SSaleh_ShoaibI recently had the pleasure of staying at the Stunning Republic, and I can't recommend it enough for beach lovers! Located just 20 feet from the sandy shores, this hotel is perfect for anyone looking to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean.
From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel at home. The check-in process was quick, and I was immediately captivated by the stunning view from my room. With a private balcony overlooking the beach, I could enjoy the sound of the waves and the salty breeze without even leaving my space.
The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, featuring modern amenities and cozy decor.
One of the highlights of my trip was the easy access to the beach. It was just a short stroll down a charming path, allowing me to spend my days sunbathing, swimming, and exploring.
Breakfast by the ocean was a standout, featuring fresh pastries and local fruits.
Overall, this is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a beach getaway. The convenient location, friendly service, and quality accommodations make it an ideal choice for a relaxing vacation.
