""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,...

Top El Nido Hotel Reviews

Cadlao Resort & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place. We had the ocean view room and it was perfect. Lovely breakfast and restaurant onsite. Its hidden away from the main street and the accommodation sends you a tuktuk to go to and from town square which was perfect. I think one of the best places to stay near town."

Mansion Buenavista

8/10 Good

"This is a cute little “bed and breakfast” type hotel. There are only 8 rooms and the owner lives on site. The staff were AMAZING and the cook to order breakfast was a favorite! The property has beautiful views from the balconies! The restaurant area sits next to the pool area creating a beautiful setup. My only complaint was that the bathrooms were very basic and a little dirty. (It’s probably very hard to keep mold out in the humidity?) The bedding and towels were also a little “worn.” With that being said…. The staff could not have been better and the location was great— so we would definitely stay here again!"

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."
