El Nido Beach Hotel

Hotel

Went there with some friends. Got our stomach upset in some of the foods we ate. Good thing there is an in house doctor, but still it is a lesson learned to choose your food wisely. The upside is the staffs were accomodating especially to the guy that cleaned my puke. Amazing view and trips though.

I and my wife spent one week at Apulit Island resort and we can confirm it was a truly gorgeous holiday. The staff is made up of people who live there, on the island, and you feel as a part of a community. Moreover, the water cottages (on the west side) are amazing and when you wake up you can see from the balcony the sea and a lot of fish, included some little sharks. About food, every day they cook several typical dishes from appetizer to dessert and we have never had any inconvenient. They are delicious and quite original, even the grilled fish and meat. The weather was ok and for twice we took a kayak to visit the nearest beaches. Far of 10 minutes there are other amazing areas for swimming and enjoying the Apulit Island Nature. Special mention for fauna and flora of Apulit Island, unique!

The resort has very beautiful views and is located at a wonderful snorkelling location. The beach however is small and the over water villas appear outdated. Nevertheless still a very beautiful place to visit especially if coupled with island hoping and visits to the lagoons.

Stayed with the fam at this resort from August 23-26, Rooms 16-17 both loft water cottages. Starting off with the pro’s: -Staff Welson aka “All of the above” — he was our greeter from the airport, our guide at the Nabat/Isla Blanca private tour, guide at the caves tour, House reef tour and sunset/sunrise tour. He was also our group photographer. He provided excellent service from start to finish. Will look for him at Miniloc Island resort when I get a chance to book another trip! Also Jeff from dining staff & the manager (didn’t catch his name) who made sure my kids (3 years old and 10 months old are looked after with their meals). Wyatt who was our private island lunch host who really busted his tails to make sure our lunch at Isla Blanca was memorable. We enjoyed the tours. The Isla Blanca and Nabat reef snorkling private tour with lunch as well as the House reef snorkling (guided snorkling within the resort with awesome reef and fishes, lots of urchins and even spotted baby rays and sharks) The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Air conditioned and ceiling fans with lots of bedding space for our family. The balcony access to the ocean was nice, awesome sunset views and instant snorkeling (was able to see baby sharks hang out at the bottom at our cottages). No bugs in the island during our stay. I was told they fumigate to control bugs, nice job.

Very good service from the staff, very well located, beach very small. The room was with sea view, spacious and clean. Surrounded by nature, different variety of plants and animals. Daily excursions to other beaches or the attractions are scheduled. Excursions are included with the cost of the stay, no payment is to be paid separately. Resort to recommend.

The BEST resort I have ever been… and I have seen a lot of palces. amazing room with stairs to the sea… amazing staff. Wonderful food. Very nice room. So many beautiful animals around. Many activities at the resort. my wife had a birthday and the staff made her a surprise at dinner time and gave her a present with happy birthday song. We were so happy and amazed about it. this place is super recommended.

This place had incredible beauty. The place was full of very nice and helpful people. Many things you can do and if there wasnt it actually would have been abit of a boring stay. You can dive, snorkel, swim with baby sharks and turtles and visit other islands etc. I want to give 5 stars but some things just werent up 2 par. The rooms were nice and cozy but needed some repairs. During rain the restaurant roof was leaking in many areas. Buffet was almost the same thing everyday. Even despite all this I did enjoy my stay.

One of the four most historic resorts The clear waters are ramps with thatched water, which is very beautiful ⛱

This is an awesome beautiful place to relax and really fall in love with nature. This is our favorite place to vacation. The over water bungalows are very clean and updated. The food is very nice. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Lots of activities and excursions to do. The snorkeling is very good. This was our 2nd vacation at Apulit island Resort in Palawan Philippines and we will be back again. They remembered our Anniversary date and our names from our last vacation there. It's truly an amazing place.

Great place. Great staff. Pretty good internet considering it's the Philippines… beautiful island and great little cabana… Food was good with good variety. Really close to some lagoon to kayak in. Great scuba diving place. Would totally recommend!

This place is a one-of-a-kind resort. No wonder people have kept it a secret. It's off the beaten track, secluded and has a superior, kind-hearted and responsive staff. The food is plentiful and fresh, featuring local dishes. Rooms are tasteful with a rustic, local feel and modern amenities (the place is being completely renovated July-Dec 2018). Very family friendly too. Snorkeling 50 meters off the dock is spectacular. Diving with Ramel and Wilson is NOT to be missed. You can even get PADI certified here. Short excursions to local beaches and sites are plentiful and exciting. You can also visit the other nearby resorts owned by the same company. We came for a wedding in January, were so impressed we came again in April to bring our kids!

Precaution: Many activities may require rental if gear. I'm 6'4 and have a show size of 14 (US) and they did not have my size. Other than this, the resort was beautiful and very relaxing.

Amazing place that need to be visited once at least in life.

Appley water at the door to open the window can see the sea, and even can walk from the balcony to the sea snorkeling. The island also has a lot of bag-like activities, such as snorkeling, canoeing, mountain climbing …
The deep dive at my own expense is stunning! The island staff is also very enthusiastic will actively help passengers to deal with the problem ~ Aply is definitely the place to go again after ~ ~ ~

A relaxing getaway! The itinerary prepared for us was well planned, not a dull moment to be spared – I would say I was able to experience the better side of El Nido. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. There are also water sports available upon request. Although, it’s a bit pricy for the quality of the rooms (what would you expect? It’s El Nido), but overall an experience to be truly cherished.

An amazing resort, incredible staff members, lots of great things to do around. One of the best hotels I have ever been for.

Has very cordial and humorous service personnel, the service is also very careful with the intention, the scenery is super beautiful, 3 to April honeymoon place to come here is right!

All the services on the island are very friendly and are very relaxing and enjoyable, the room is full of water house, lying on the balcony of the couch looking at the sea is very comfortable there are many activities on the island can register, sea snorkeling, mountain climbing, rock climbing sag, and so on, as well as canoe and standing paddle can be rented for free very suitable for honeymoon, full-Package service, after check-in can be completely relaxed play the key is the sea is really beautiful the only drawback is that the food has yet to be strengthened, there is no imagination of the delicious, but the ingredients are very real drink to strengthen.

A resort that helps friends secretly propose plans. Here such as the human Pure Land general scenery is not like words, not only have all kinds of interesting facilities can play, and people are not many and very quiet!
All the resort staff is very nice and warm, proposal venue preparation process encountered technical difficulties service personnel also belabour patiently actively solve, let this plan perfect smoothly, really is great! Such a heavenly place, beautiful scenery and nice people here! I have to say thank the "managers" and the "who" here to make everything possible for us to proceed the "secret Propo Sal. "And of course SHE said Yes! With tears. (Special thank to the waitress, Apple too! )

Ultimate Perfection. Holiday to relax the good place, by the blue sky green clouds around the beautiful island, chasing Sunrise sunset, snorkeling, deep diving, rock climbing, mountain climbing, light boat, paddleboard, sea fishing, massage, Linhai swimming pool, three-side seaview room, beach dinner, local characteristics of art creation … Then walk to the beach bar … Let's have a drink!

It's amazing place the resort is located in right place were you can just swim, snorkeling I really highly recommend this place for people wants to have privacy too.

This is heaven on Earth. The service is superior and food is incredible. We are going back.

Excellent staff service. Gives you a lasting impression of what filipino hospitality is. Perfect place for honeymoon, nature lovers, snorkelling and diving. Not for those seeking night parties.

What an amazing experience. Everyone treated us like family! And the staff were so great with my 7 year old girl. They helped her snorkel and swim. Never had to worry if she was having a good time. Also the management went above and beyond to return my husband’s passport we left behind! Couldn’t ask for better customer service!

Very nice staff, very good location.

This all inclusive resort is well worth the money. The service is exceptional, every meal has been incredible, and all the activities are well thought out and fun. The rooms are nice, AC works well, the beds are firm but comfortable, and the gym is adequate. The location is perfect and it never seems crowded. 100% recommended.

So far the best beach resort I've been to. Fantastic view with friendly staff. Meals are prepared in a way that exceeds guests' expectations. Guides are all friendly with no competition to gain more customers, which allows tourists/guests to just enjoy the guide package. Would definitely go back again.

One of the best resorts in Palawan! It’s pristine water and breathtaking marine life is a must see. If you’re brave enough, you can kayak from the resort to the big and small lagoon.

Even in stormy weather, El Nido is ethereal. And Miniloc was just perfect — — great service, beautiful location, and yummy food! We had a lovely time and would love to go back :)

If you're visiting Bacuit bay for the first time, I'd recommend staying at Miniloc island or any of the El Nido resorts. If you do, you'll be staying a kayak or snorkel away from the main draws, and will basically be staying right within the main attraction & the bay's beauty — the limestone islets themselves. If you stay in town, you'll have to take boat rides to get close. We keep coming back because El Nido's beauty never wanes. Explore as you wish & keep finding new places to enjoy. Bacuit bay itself feels untouched, but the comfort of the El Nido resorts & staff stay within reach. Kayak, snorkel, island hop, dive as much as you wish. Families, honeymooners, adventure travellers all find their own spots & preferred activities.

Great place. We had our honeymoon here for 8 nights. Don't need that long there tbh but saying that we had activities every day and really nice limited number tours of all the highlights of El Nido. Staff are superb, Roy in the restaurant is a great guy and fernando done wonders on my leg treating me every day. Snorkel accident caught coral. (It's sharp)

Probably one if the best beaches I've ever been to. So worth it to check out the amazing wildlife, gorgeous scenery and get away. Honestly hands down best corals and beaches I've ever been to.

First Class service. The staff was unbelievably friendly and will take care of anything you need. I've been to a lot of resorts, but Palawan has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. El Nido does a great job of setting up excursions to help appreciate the natural beauty around you. All while giving you a great place to eat and sleep at the end of your day.

Apulit island was so amazing. Everything was perfect. The view in here was stunning, There are a lot of activities to do. Lots of beautiful colored fish. Service was outstanding! Will be back for sure. One of the best expierances. Also the location is just breathtaking!

Stayed on Miniloc island for 4 nights of our honeymoon. It couldn't be more perfect. Views are stunning, activities are endless, easy travel to the resort and with island hopping included in the stay. The staff are incredible and will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Highly recommend!

Nice place to relax. Great food selections with healthy alternative for vegetarians and seafood lovers. There is also a variety of meat menu and wide choices for drinks at the bar.

Neglecting the absolutely beautiful island and nature almost untouched, what took my heart is the crew, the thoughtless and understanding of any demand thoroughly. The huge heart of the crew is somthing you do not see everywhere. The activities are great and fun, the only 'problem' is that around 9 pm you got nothing to do, typical to isolated islands like this, the rooms are a bit small with no TV to kill time at night. But the place is simply amazing.

Excellent destination for any active family. Very friendly staff and guests were also very nice. Great food for even the pickiest of eaters and plenty of water and land based activities. Price is very reasonable for such an untouched beutiful get a way resort island.

The environment has been protected well and still can see lots of wild animals! Amazing landscape here. Nice resort staff and tour guides who really impressed us! A good place that making people want to go back again even if it's far from airport!

This place is awesome! Everyone is soooooo nice and all the activities are fun! I can now claim that I snorkeled in my backyard.

We celebrated my birthday last year in this place. It was amazing! I'm always looking forward to go back. The staff, the food, the nature… Super!

Everything here is unbelievable, It's a paradise!

It is an excellent place and really worth to spend your money here. The corral reef is good and the service is fantastic. The food is delicious and the staff is nice.

Lovey place with lovely super friendly staff that always have a smile on their lips.

Heaven on earth, with angels all over the place just doing everything in order to make your stay unforgettable. Stayed there 8 nights. And would stay there another 80 if I got the money… Definitely recommend — you will never forget this amazing place.

Perfect little island paradise getaway!

Perfect island paradise getaway.

From the amazing staff, gorgeous rooms, well planned activities and incredible beach, we felt spoiled and lucky to be here every minute of our stay. We travelled with a 4 month old baby and the staff was so gracious in helping hold her while we had meals and provided certain amenities to make our trip so easy.

We went here for a wedding which was so beautiful and intimate. The staff are very friendly and speak very good English. There are many activities to do to keep you busy. From hiking to scuba diving, snorkelling and kayaking or simply relaxing in their beautiful infinity pool, it is a lovely place to rest and rejuvenate. There is no TV so you can take in nature however there is Wi-Fi available which is quite strong. The place is just beautiful and a way to see nature at it's best. The rooms are comfortable with a great view of the ocean. Toilets flush well. The shower is hot and cold as you please. For an Eco-friendly resort it is a place I would love to come back. The only thing I would say is to prepare for the boat trip to the resort. The water is quite choppy so, for those with motion sickness, just make sure you take the side of the boat that is open to the air, look straight to the horizon and you will be alright! The travel is well worth it!

Great service, great food, great activities…

My friend Cora B Longhi and I stayed in Apulit from Jan 8-14, 2016. She had booked this a couple of months ago from Switzerland. It was one of the best if not the best experience in my life. Everyone working in Apulit is genuinely great. They are sooo nice and make you feel like family. I personally wrote down all the names of the employees I met, but lost the piece of paper where I wrote it down. I can remember, Gerry, Joey and Ramil who were so nice in always being there and answering all our questions and helping us in any way they could. And I forget the names of the people in the Buffet, but all those preparing the meals and serving us were simply perfect. Genuinely caring and so gentle. And they gave us a Filipino dance show where you could see that they really enjoyed entertaining us! There was one man who danced with all his emotions and it was a thrill to watch him dance and his name was Junix. There was Michael who was a perfect guide. Dong (I think) who was such a good hiking guide for my friend Cora. There was Belle, Edu, and just everyone else was great. Even the OJT kids working as guides, were super. We met 2 Doctoras within our one week stay who were fabulous! In fact this is the first time I shed some tears while leavin the island. Apulid is the best experience in this world, ever! I have gone around the world in my life, but Apulid sure ranks at the top of my list. Sorry for the names of the rest that I forgot, but they were all equally great!

Great place. Good people Good time Taste food.

Sad to say this hotel was a joke. Not presentable, curtains were dirty and poorly kept. Bathroom not clean and there was nothing in it but a toilet bowl and a very tiny sink. For the price I paid for its not worth it at all. I would not recommend this hotel.

Incredible experience, awesome views, clear water, colorful coral. The hotel is just in the middle of everything. Just incredible.

El Nido Island hopping is the best experience of my life. It was a shame I only had a day to do Tour C, but I would definitely come back for more days at least another 3 to finish Tour A and Tour B. Great weather in April with not that many tourists but good views and sunny days:) Just fantastic!

I really enjoy staying here! It's my 3rd time now.

The place to be for soul searching and for having the time of your life. I love beach!
