One area the venue could improve on is helping guests arrange transportation from Puerto Princesa Airport. We understood it was a 6-hour trip and didn’t expect it to be cheap, especially since they work with outside transportation companies. That part isn’t the issue—what would really help is offering guests more affordable options up front. When we arrived, we paid 9,000 pesos (over $200 USD) for a private van to take us from PP airport to the venue, which was nearly the cost of our flight from Manila. On the way back, after asking about alternatives, we were able to take a shared van for only about a third of that price. If we had known about this option beforehand, it would have greatly reduced our travel expenses.

The location was absolutely breathtaking, and the owner and staff were warm, personable, and genuinely friendly. I loved that the place is committed to being eco-conscious, actively working to minimize its carbon footprint. They even took the time to clean up particles washed ashore from passing ships to help protect the island. The water was crystal-clear—so pristine it felt like swimming in a pool. Truly an amazing experience!

Read the description well, there is no air conditioning but they provide two fans per bungalow which works fine.

Very beautiful location, in a quiet part in the middle of Nacpan Beach, really nice and spotlessly clean huts, fantastic cuisine in the restaurant and also super nice staff. They also 100% live sustainability in this lodge and are fully integrated with the local community.

We had an incredible stay at Eco Sanctuaries Nature Lodge in Nacpan Beach. The location is stunning, with beachfront villas offering breathtaking sea views. The food was amazing, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. There is a possibility to do Joga too. What truly sets this place apart is its commitment to sustainability and supporting the local community. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even more memorable. If you’re looking for a sustainable, tranquil escape, Eco Sanctuaries is the perfect spot!

The biggest letdown was the limited menu at the hotel’s restaurant. More than half of the items on the menu were unavailable, which was particularly frustrating after a day out on a boat trip. After such an adventure, you’d expect to enjoy a nice meal without having to leave the beach area, but unfortunately, we ended up eating tuna for three days in a row because there were no alternatives, and it was a shame not having calamari and prawns which were on the menu not available for four days on a beach destination. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low, making it difficult to have a proper shower. On top of that, there was no hot water in the room, which added to the discomfort. Overall, while the location and scenery are stunning, the lack of limited amenities left a lot to be desired. I hope the hotel can improve its restaurant options and fix the issues with water pressure to make this stay more comfortable. .

Nacpan Beach is a truly peaceful and picturesque destination, and the location of the hotel is fantastic. Our beach-front room was lovely, and the soothing sound of the waves added to the tranquil atmosphere—it truly felt like paradise.

All items on the food menu are subject to 12% tax and 10% additional service fee which then comes as a surprise when you have to pay the bill seeing almost 25% higher price - yes, its was indicated in the menu but still found it very unnecessary and have not seen this in any other restaurant/hotel in Philippines.

You pay for the location which is absolutely gorgeous, very isolated, and really unique - something that in other parts of the world could cost much more. That being said, there is no AC, no hot water which was OK for us. The staff (only interacted with a young very friendly guy) was super friendly, trying to make our stay even better and offering complementary massage.

Breakfast options wasn’t great and the fact that the tea and coffee facilities were only provided for the first day.

The location is amazing in the best spot in Nacpan beach, it does come with the challenges though as you have to walk a bit to get there. It definitely pays off though.

There were no yoga activities available during our stay.

This Eco conscious Resort on Nacpan beach exceeded our expectations. The resort was extremely quiet, has friendly helpful staff, a great health conscious restaurant and is situated on the nicest beach we visited during our month long visit to the Philippines. The bamboo cottage helped us feel like we were communing with nature. Great place to hide away from the busyness of El Nido.

Some other guests mentioned having issues with sand flies, though we personally didn’t experience any problems. However, it’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellent to be prepared.

Nestled in a quiet, secluded location, this eco-friendly retreat offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully designed with thoughtful details, ensuring comfort and convenience—mosquito nets, a fan, a private bathroom, a wardrobe, and tea/coffee-making facilities are all provided. Everything is spotless and well-maintained.

Polyester bed sheets and pillowcases. Super uncomfortable for the body, especially in the heat. I suggested the management invested in the 100% cotton sheets for the comfort of future customers.

Beautiful location! The beach is gorgeous. The lodge is secluded and tranquil. Great staff, service and food. Away from the business of other resorts on the beach, and yet close enough if you wanted to explore other places.

It’s a work in progress, a newer business, so I think it will improve over time as they iron out some things. One thing they won’t be able to though, is the sand fly situation. If you’re prone to being bitten, avoid being out or uncovered at dusk and dawn. Also, make use of the mosquito nets and you’ll be good while sleeping. Don’t use the nets, and prepare to get chewed. With a little thought and avoidance, you can really enjoy this place, a true gem!

Outstanding location, on the quieter side of one of the most beautiful beaches, anywhere probably. Oh, and the food was top notch too. Into yoga? They have classes every day. If I’m around this area again, would return without hesitation.

We wanted a peaceful escape from the crowds, and Eco Sanctuaries El Nido did not disappoint. Staying here was incredibly relaxing and serene—exactly what we were looking for. One of the most memorable moments was our engagement dinner on the beach. The view was breathtaking, with the sky painted in shades of purple, blue, red, and orange. To make the night even more special, they surprised us with a complimentary bottle of red wine—such a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated! Breakfast was included in our room rate and served à la carte. The food was delicious, and enjoying it with a sea view made the experience even better. And of course, the sunset views and starry nights at Nacpan Beach were simply unforgettable. We could never get tired of watching such beauty. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended for those looking for a peaceful and magical retreat.

We were aware of amenities at the resort, still no air-conditioning made nights uncomfortable, and sand flies were really going for us.

The location was fabulous. The resort is lovely and quiet, on the calmer side of the beach. True paradise. Stuff is amazing and welcoming, breakfast is great. Would love to come back!

If you like you are looking for something unique and to be truly immersed in nature, you MUST stay here. Five reasons why: 1. Great location, Nacpan Beach is like a postcard and the eco Sanctuaries is located on the most private part with a gorgeous natural setting, but within a walking distance from other bars and restaurants 2. Tasty food, the restaurant offers by far the best food on the beach. We highly recommend the five course meal on the beach, incredible Filipino fusion dishes under the setting sun 3. Relaxing yoga, we had a great teacher (Lisa!). Yoga was great way to start the day and added to the zen feeling at the sanctuary 4. Unique lodge, the lodge is lovely, comfy bed (with good quality bedding) in a nice garden (there is no aircon, good for the environment!, but there is a fan and enough airflow) 5. Fantastic staff, superfriendly and personal service, they even remembered our preference! Even after our stay there were there to help us recover an item we left behind, they went above and beyond for us! 10 out of 10, we were sad to leave and would definitely come back

if you’re looking for a 5-star hotel with air conditioning, polished marble floors, and “room for a pony” vibes like hyacinth bucket, eco sanctuaries probably isn’t for you but if you want peace, privacy, and insane natural beauty, this place is paradise the beach feels straight out of a dream—crystal-clear water, soft sand, and total chill vibes. time slows down here, and the rest of the world just disappears..it’s perfect for recharging and reconnecting with nature. the staff are super friendly and make you feel at home instantly. the food? next level : ) the kitchen absolutely nails it every time, so don’t skip a meal here. oh, and book the 4x4 airport transport—it’s totally worth it and makes everything so much easier 100% recommend this little slice of heaven.

We loved everything. As soon as you arrive you feel so safe and in your own little bubble. Eco is in a perfect location, close enough to the bars and restaurants but enough distance to not hear the nightlife.

The only thing to be Aware of is that is very isolated. The food is very god! But not the biggest choice options

It was amazing ! Staff is very helpfull and sweet! The view is something you never forget and we had the front cabin and it is recommended to pay the extra for it. Overall if u want to just relax, disconnect and enjoy the most beautiful sandy beach u should visit. we were there for five days and therefore rented a scooter and drove to el nido city whenever we wanted. it's a nice trip that takes 35-40 min.
