We stayed the first night in one of the smaller duplex rooms but then moved into one of the pool cottages, the view was spectacular, the service was great and the location , close to the main town but a few minutes walk away was perfect

The staff and accommodations were excellent. The view was absolutely stunning.

Place is very relaxing, staff are very nice and accommodating. Love the breakfast with the view of the ocean. Liked the filtered cold water dispensers. Nice bed, clean room.

Very nice

A pretty place to stay, walkable from town. The staff were so lovely and the pools/scenery were beautiful. The restaurant food was great! The one downside is the WiFi was a bit in and out.

We were blessed to have one of the ocean front villas. It was absolutely beautiful. The staff were amazing. The dining was reasonably priced and good. Would (will hopefully) stay again.

everything was perfect the staffs were sooooooooo kind, willing to assist our journey as much as they can best stay experience of my life

Be forewarned, the beach next to the hotel is not swimmable, it's all rocks. The hotel has a number of pools, one of which is quite nice. Staff was really helpful and considerate. The grounds have good views of the bay, unless they book you into the back area "Cadlao 3" where my room was. My bathroom had a bad odor--like sewage--that became realy noticeable when using the shower or anytime the door was closed. When I brought this to the hotel's attention, their solution was to put in a glade airfreshener to cover it up. The hotel was fully booked, so I was stuck with a gross bathroom for 3 days. Really unfortunate, because otherwise, the hotel was fine.

The service and the resort coupled with the views and the food were amazing

The sat is superb and very friendly . The views from hotel are PARADISE . The waters by the hotel very rocky . But other beaches near by like LEO beach are very very pretty . Enjoy!!

To be clear, this location is probable the best at El Nido, but the beach is horrible. If you wish to swim, you need to take a boat tour. Then you will see great places. The El Nido bay is a harbor, not a good idea to swim in... If you wish an acceptable beach, go the Vanilla Beach.

Good food and the staff is superb

Adored the rooms, we could hear the sea and the views were beautiful. The staff were fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful. Close to the town centre with great cafes and restaurants. A perfect base to explore the islands. Restaurant has a stunning view. 3pm free snacks and refreshments. If I was to be really picky the only thing they could improve on is to have an espresso machine rrather than pod

Jinjer restaurant is amazing! The pools are nice to swim with a nice view of the famous El Nido rocks

Not worth the money. Stayed at this resort and was not happy. The food was terrible. Ordered several dishes and to say the least was not impressed. The manager also stated he has received multiple complaints considering the food so they are aware this is an issue. Also there was a miscommunication at the front desk considering transportation and was not happy with how their customer service was. They stated threats were made but if saying that we will speak the truth and give an honest review of OUR experience is a threat then so be it. Also after several conversations with the manager there was still miscommunication regarding a tour and tried to pass the blame on the tour which was not the case. The problem was due to a front desk error of pick up location and point. One employee stated one thing and another was stated something different. They did try to remedy the situation by giving us a complimentary massage or extra day but it was not worth it. Sad to say but for the money was not impressed. The sea front villa was very nice but because of the issue with the food and front desk mishap you would expect more for the price of the accommodations.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. For starters the food was terrible, from ordered food to the buffet. The customer service was the worst I have seen. The staff at the front desk could not provide clear information and had many different answers to simple questions. For the price of the stay this was definitely not worth it and will not be returning. They tried to over charge for dinner and had to correct them as they could not correctly compute the bill. Foreigners be ware!

This place was great! The staff were so helpful, welcoming and very accommodating. The rooms were clean and the restaurant was good, very convenient! The route to get to the resort can be a bit tricky, but they do offer a Tuk tuk ride, where you’ll be able to get another transportation to your destination. I would highly recommend, the lounging area is very relaxing and the view is wonderful. I will definitely come back ,and I highly recommend for you to visit!

Perfect Resort Excellent Restaurant Staff is awesome

The service was absolutely amazing! From the front desk to restaurant staff. The room was clean and was serviced everyday. Bedding and towels were clean. My only issue with the room was this weird smell every day. Which I’m guessing was maybe plumbing. But it was tolerable. The shower water was hot every day except the last day, but that doesn’t take away from this resort overall. The food and drinks were SO good! But keep in mind the restaurant is an open restaurant and there are bugs and lizards as it is hot, humid, and rainy season (air conditioning in the room was great!). You may also get a furry visitor as animals roam freely in El Nido (a super sweet kitty appeared under my table as I was eating dinner one night). There is a fee for airport transfer which I’m guessing I overlooked. But, the resort provides free tuktuk rides to the drop off point. The resort doesn’t have much of a beach front, but a beach is literally at the tuk tuk drop off point (maybe 2 minutes away). This beach is really not for relaxing though. There’s restaurants and bars. Lots of traffic. This is also the location where boats dock for tours. So not really waters you want to get swim in. The tuk tuk can drop you off and you can find another tuk tuk to take you to another beach which was only 10 or so minutes away. The town is also in walking distance which was great. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend!

tained. The staff were kind and friendly.

Cadlao Resort was a great place to stay for our family trip to El Nido. Our pool side room was perfect for our family of 4 and the kids enjoyed all 3 pools. All the staff were very welcoming and attentive. We rarely ate outside of the resort as the restaurant onsite was so good for all meals. The BOGO happy hour was a nice surprise! You can book boat tours right across the street from the resort and they will pick you up on the beach in front of the resort. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property with friendly staff. Very accommodating! Quiet area with an amazing view!

Rooms and views are exceptional!! But the best thing is the friendliness of the amazing staff!! Can’t wait to return, the resort is beautiful.

Grear food at restaurant Service was good and friendly Hotel is off beaten path - hard to find You have to take a tuk tuk - transfer from van or taxi as access road to hotel is no cars allow off the beach which is access thru a 4ft wide allyway off main road

The views were spectacular and more breathtaking than captured in pictures. The hotel had airport shuttle to and from the property. We booked the family bungalow and it was perfect, clean, and situated in front the quiet pool. The cafe served great food. Manager Cid was welcoming. There’s a boutique and island tour vendor right outside the front entrance. We elected the semi private island tour that picked us up at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel. It is important to mention that metro Manila hospitality reaches to El Nido.

Cadlao Restaurant and Resort was located within 30 minutes of the airport and right on the water. The views were fantastic. The resort is located away the the busy part of town, but close enough by a short trike ride to local restaurants and shopping. The accommodations were clean and spacious. The food at the restaurant was really good. We did not eat breakfast because we had early tours, but I’m sure it was just as good. The staff was great also; took care of all our needs. We would stay again!

This place exceed my expectations, all the staff and the manager are really nice and accommodating. Cid which is the manager is really nice, the front desk is accessible and the resort overall is great. I would definitely come back whenever I go to El nido Palawan. This is my favorite resort so far!

Beautiful spot ! Lovely staff

The Dalawa room Bungalow Sea View was spectacular. All the surroundings are clean, safe and accommodating. The staff are very kind and hospitable. I will highly recommend to everyone. Thank you for making our vacation so relaxing and enjoyable.

Overall okay. Room was fine but a bit small Nice pools Okay food Staff could improve kindness and service skills - example, when we arrived they didn’t really welcome us, and people (not dressed like the staff) was talking to the staff in Filipino, and the staff answered even they were in the middle of checking us in. We had the feeling that they maybe talked about us.

Expensive for a very small room. if you don’t book the room with mirrored doors you won’t have any privacy and you’ll need to close the curtains. And you’ll feel claustrophobic and with no view at all. I left during the night and they offered us sandwiches to take away to my trip as I wasn’t having breakfast the day after. Was a nice touch that made the visit worth it. They also helped by booking the tricycle from the hotel to the bus station. I wish I knew about the tricycle free shuttle service before my arrival, as is very difficult to get to the hotel because you need to go through the beach. And some tricycles didn’t want to take us there saying that they cannot go through the beach to drop us. Contract them before your arrival and they will help you.

Great stay in Cadlao Resort. We stayed in room Tatlo and had a great view of Cadlao Island from our porch. A TV would be nice. Close to town and easy walk for Island Hopping Tours starting point. Free daily, all you can eat, breakfast was really good. We ate lunch and dinner elsewhere. Free tricycle ride to get closer to town saves 10 minute walk to town. Definitely would stay here again.
