    Secluded yet close enough to the bustle of the city. Helpful staff, delicious cocktails (mango daiquiri by the poolside is the way to spend your time here) and multiple pools. Amazing spot for the beautiful sunsets, great massages and overall lovely holiday experience.

    You have to pass by the tiny streets to get to the resort but they have free tuk tuk ride available anytime .

    The place is cozy,clean and homey .staff is super kind and helpful. If you like to rest and relax after a day of island hopping -this is the place for you.

    When we first arrived, the tuktuk ride felt like we were heading off to some remote location we hadn’t anticipated down partially paved, partially dirt roads, etc. In fact, the resort turns out to be convenient yet quiet so the initial concern was unnecessary.

    We liked the cottages, the multiple pools, the staff, the restaurant, and the fact that it is far enough from town that it is quiet at night (if you don’t like late night karaoke this will be very important to you) yet close enough to walk in to restaurants and entertainment. What’s with Onsite Manager Superman Cid? He’s there to help you first thing in the morning, any time during the day, and late at night until closing - maybe he has a secret twin. He will make calls for you, arrange transportation, contact travel agents, everything.

    The tour group recommended by the resort left a great deal to be desired from top to bottom! Very amateurish at the scheduling office as well as the transportation to and from the tour boat. We may not return to El Nido because of this.

    Very attentive staff that were very helpful. The restaurant and bar were always available. The head waiter was always looking out for our needs. He was exceptional.

    I cannot say anything bad about the place, the staff not their service. Everything was great for me and my family during our stay. Even the weather cooperates until our check out time, which was fine;-)

    The property is clean and the near town. The staff are friendly and the food is great!!! I am already planning my vacation for next year with them and bringing some more family to experience what I did. Shout out to Jenn from the front desk, Daniel from the bar and restaurant and the property manager whom I got his name.

    The place in front of the Bacuit archipelago was stunning. The garden is well mantained and the swimming pools (one in front of the restaurant, perfect for the happy hours enjoying the sunset, and another one in the back, more private) were clean and nice. Rooms big, spacious and clean. Nice food and reasonable price at the restaurant. Many option for breakfast. Close to centre town: it can be reached by walk in 10-15 min. Anyway there is the tuk tuk from the resort that can drop/fetch you on request.

    The food was the only pain point. Breakfast at the restaurant is great and consistent, but the lunch/dinner menu was just ok. To be fair, this was my experience across El Nido, not just at the hotel.

    First and foremost, the views from this property are incredible. It’s a perfect distance outside of El Nido town to relax and avoid the noise of the town’s night life, but still close enough that you can easily get into town. You won’t want to miss a single sunset. And the activities that they can help you line up were great, and it was a seamless process. Having multiple pools to choose from made the afternoons better too.

    The bathroom had a few ants but nothing major. Water pressure is low but I think that's normal for the Philippines

    It is away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre but it only takes 10minutes of walking to get to town. The resort grounds are very nice. Three pools available for dipping and watching the views. Very nice and kind staff. Air-conditioned as well.

    The room we had was tiny. You could literally only just walk around the bed. There was no room to put anything and the wardrobe is tiny.

    The beach isn't ideal for swimming but there are 3 swimming pools on the property in different areas so it never feels too busy and the grounds are nice to walk around. We had good food and margaritas at Happy Hour watching the sunset. To get to the hotel you have to get dropped off by an alley and they then send a tuk tuk to pick you up and drive you along the beach. You can get picked up and dropped off here any time with their free shuttle and then walk about 10-15 minutes along the beach to El Nido town where there are lots of bars and restaurants.

    Literally there was nothing I didn’t like.

    Cadlao exceeded every expectation. The resort is 5 star and the staff are so friendly. The rooms were very clean, the views are incredible and the restaurant and free breakfast in the morning were top notch. It’s perfectly placed just far enough away from the main town so it’s not noisy. But also not too far away where you can’t easily walk 6 min to the main road. With that said, you definitely don’t want to stay in town, it’s busy and noisy. Cadlao felt like it’s an Oasis.

    While we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, there were a few minor aspects that could be improved. The water in the shower had a hint of a rust-like smell, which we understood may be attributed to the deep well source. Similarly, the pool had a noticeable scent of chlorine. Additionally, we would have appreciated having a mini fridge in our room. Nonetheless, these minor issues did not overshadow the overall positive experience of our stay.

    We were delighted to receive a complimentary upgrade upon arrival, along with a refreshing complimentary drink. As we entered our room, we were immediately awestruck by its amazing features and high-quality design, especially the garden rooms. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure a luxurious experience. To top it off, the buffet breakfast exceeded our expectations, offering a delightful spread of delicious options. We initially worried about transportation to the resort, but they had plenty of tricycles available, making it convenient for us. Our stay at this exceptional place was truly remarkable.

    The access is a bit weird - you have to get them to meet you in a tuk tuk because it doesn’t have road access. Once we understood this it’s totally fine and easy to manage - it also means no road noise :)

    Wonderful laid back resort facilities. Waterfront with amazing sunsets over the bay.

    would not suggest to walk outside late at night because of the lack of street light. But they do have transport to the beach if you need to.

    It has one of the best views of the beach. Especially the sunset.
