    A Magical Stay in Pangulasian El Nido Resort – Trip of a Lifetime

    Our stay in Pangulasian El Nido Resort was absolutely unforgettable. The resort staff were exceptional — incredibly friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile. From the heartfelt goodbye note from our villa cleaners Amor and Dennis to the thoughtful dining surprises, every detail made us feel truly cared for. I did incredible dives with Jon, whose deep knowledge of marine life made each dive a joy. My partner, an inexperienced swimmer, went snorkelling and received amazing support and patience from the team, making it a truly enjoyable experience. Winston, our guide, took us to beautiful, remote spots far from the crowds. Evenings brought special touches like star-gazing sessions with a telescope and local stories left on our bed — magical moments we’ll never forget. From luxurious villas to encounters with monkeys, reptiles, and little crabs, every part of this trip was filled with wonder. We couldn’t have asked for more — and we can’t wait to return.

    The transfer from and to el Nido was not a Pleasant - we had to wait to a scheduled ride, while the norm in these exclusive resorts is to arrange a ride to personally fit my scheule nd not let me wait . Also on the way back they dropped us far from the destination and then a van took us in the land for 30 more minutes. We were highly disappointed ( and exhausted) for the rides both ways

    Beautiful secluded island, plenty of complementary sea activities , wonderful suite. These days on the island were magical !

    The food was excellent quality (including breakfast) but there was such a limited and uninspiring choice for dinner - of 13 main course choices, four of them were steak and there were no Filipino dishes. Why roast chicken when it could have been chicken adobe? Food and drink was also eye-wateringly expensive. On night four we were at a loss what to eat so just chose starters. Another strange issue was no door on the toilet! And finally be aware that the guided ‘Nature Walk’ is actually a strenuous hike uphill for 1,400 steps to a viewpoint. We enjoyed it but it needs to be renamed on the paperwork so people know what to expect.

    A stunning location, very comfortable villa, super friendly and helpful staff and fantastic complimentary boat trips. Also great snorkelling in front of the resort. Definitely the best resort we stayed at in the Philippines.

    One has to be careful belongings like cell phones, accessories, food items inside the room and keep doors locked closed all times because of monkeys. My cellphone was taken away while I am reading my book on beach lounge…I retrieve it back but I heard it may be gone forever! Smart animals. Despite to this incident I extended my stay 3 more days because no other place can top this place!

    I’ve been traveling since mid November so this paradise was healing to my body and soul. Great hospitality, quiet, well organized welcome committee and professional friendly approach to any activity around. One feels at home.

    The restaurant (dinner) is not value for money and the choices are quite limited. We didn’t like the signature massage neither and not worth the price. The gym is very well equipped, but a bit small considering the size of the resort.

    Pangulasian island is an hidden gem. The island and the sea are amazing and also the structure is very well done and refined. The location of the island is very convient for island hopping too. Very good and rich breakfast.

    The beach is rocky, unfortunately, not powdery sand. It is certainly not in the control of the resort and was not a deal breaker for us as the other positives far outweighed this aspect of the resort.

    Wow! From the moment you step off your arrival flight, to when you are dropped back off at the airport for your departure, you are made to feel special. If you have a special request, just ask and they can make it happen. Yes, the beach is not the dreamy white powdery sand. If you can overlook that, PIR can’t be beat with everything it offers. The resort is in a great location for exploring the many beautiful islands of El Nido. The villas are spacious and beautiful. The food superb (and we are foodies who can be quite critical when it comes to food). The snorkeling in front is great. The resort offers complimentary boat tours, but I recommend doing a private boat tour to set your own schedule and places to visit. Your guide will be with you every step of the adventure. I love that the resort believes in being eco friendly but yet manages to deliver top notch luxury. I saw not one single plastic used in the resort. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the best thing about the resort… the fantastic staff that helped made our stay absolutely spectacular. Book now and don't give it a second thought!!

    A Slice of Paradise at El Nido Resorts Pangulasian

    Our stay at El Nido Resorts Pangulasian was truly unforgettable. Surrounded by stunning nature, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets, the resort offers the perfect mix of luxury and tranquility. We stayed in a beautifully decorated and well-equipped beach villa with a stunning sea view. The food and drink options were excellent, and the choice of activities was fantastic. A highlight was our 4-hour private boat tour, where starting early at 7 AM allowed us to enjoy El Nido’s most beautiful spots in peaceful solitude. We happened to come across a school of about a hundred dolphins who were curious enough to approach all around our boat. The hospitality was outstanding. Special thanks to Younes, the Food and Beverage Director, who made our stay memorable—just as he did during our honeymoon at Raffles Maldives four years ago. Also, a big thank you to Anton (the waiter), Anton (the guide), and Rei (the experience assistant) for their exceptional service. El Nido Resorts Pangulasian is a dream destination for anyone seeking luxury, adventure, and natural beauty. Highly recommended!

    Our stay was absolutely superb! The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect. We felt like VIPs from the moment we checked in at the Air Swift counter at the airport all the way to our departure. Special mention to Kuya Renel, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. His assistance made a huge difference, and we are very grateful. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for exceptional service and a memorable experience.

    One of the best hospitality experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of booking. The resort is beautifully secluded, and yet just a 30 minute boat ride away from Palawan mainland. The level and quality of the resort is really second to none, they’d literally go out of their way to make your experience as perfect as you’d expect it to be. Big thank you for the entire team

    The plane ride to the Island. It was delayed both ways for us. The plane going to the island had a very scary landing. The trip back had an irate customer agent handling the counter. Although AirSwift is not part of the island experience, it seems like the most logical plane to take to get to El Nido.

    Friendly and accommodating staff. The villa was cleaned twice a day. The staff were all smiling and were happy to do their job. Facilities were accessible, clean, and new. Massage was great. Food was delicious and plenty.

    It was paradise and more! We stayed there last year and we loved it so we went back and stayed for 9 nights. We were treated like royalty and with so much love and respect by everybody from the resort general manager and all the staff. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and the resort made it so special! It was my best wedding anniversary celebration yet! We were so sad to leave but already planning our next visit! Everyone should stay there at least once and experience true luxury and topnotch service!
