Casalay Resort truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the amazing staff who made us feel like family. Everyone was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — we especially loved catching up with them after our daily activities. It’s those small, personal touches that made our stay so special and unforgettable.
The resort itself is a peaceful and beautiful escape — the villas are charming and surrounded by nature. Breakfast was always delicious and filling, the perfect way to start each day.
We do have a few small suggestions that might make future stays even better:
1. Blackout curtains on the villa verandas for those who like to sleep in.
2. Clothing hooks in the shower or changing rooms would be super convenient.
3. It would be great to have an option for two queen beds in rooms, especially for friends traveling together.
4. And if all villas are fully booked, we think it would be such a lovely idea for the resort to organize a long dinner or a small evening activity for all guests to connect and enjoy the evening together under the stars.
Overall, we had an amazing experience and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you again to the entire Casalay team for making our stay so warm, relaxing, and memorable. We’ll definitely be recommending your resort to our family and friends — 100% love and appreciation from us to all of you!
Ideal for solo travelers and couples without babies. The place is squeaky clean but there is a shared shotlet bathroom. Still very clean. It’s located next to a busy road so I couldn’t sleep all night with the tricycles passing by and there was also a baby from one of the guests that was crying but not too much. If you like sleep and you’re a light sleeper don’t go there. The location is not great cos of this.
A cheap simple accommodation option, we've got everything in the most, but if you're looking for comfort, you better choose options more expensive. The room is spacious, there is a bathroom, but everything is quite twisted, wouldn't mind a little upgrade. There was not enough shelves in the room and hooks in the bathroom, things had to be folded just on the floor. We spent only two nights there and therefore no claims, but for a long time for a rest would have chosen something more comfortable.
We stayed for 3nights and the location are nice and quiet, just expect the brownout/no power as it seems normal in Puerto Galera but they do have back up generator which is nice. The ambience of the surrounding, the pool and the bar are amazing. Overall, we are happy and definitely will go back to this resort.
The owner is the only Mongolian in Cologne, so the design of the yurt is very authentic, which is a very special experience. The refrigerator in the room is quite noisy, and the neighbor's chickens will crow very early, so the earplugs provided in the room are very useful. There is unlimited supply of water, ice bath, etc. The price of the shuttle bus to the airport is also reasonable. At this price, it is good value for money
This B&B was excellent. Such lovely people, picked us up and dropped us off at the beginning and the end of the stay.
Breakfast was delicious and the host could not have been more helpful and accommodating
I would definitely recommend staying at the beginning of your trip if you are unsure of your route as their expert local knowledge can really help find the best route! We will definitely be back!

BBhrandonThe room looks very old, the mattresses are foam, the plugs generate little confidence, the truth is that for the little you pay you could say that it is normal, don't expect much.
The bathroom is another world, the toilet bowl does not have a base to sit on, so it is very unhygienic when using it, either that or urinate and do your business without touching the bowl.
The shower does not have much pressure, so if you are going to take a shower it is better to use the faucet under the shower and fill a bucket and bathe with the bucket of water.
The door to the women's bathroom is broken from below, so it can cause a bit of insecurity, although I honestly don't think people will care much.
GGuest UserThis place was absolute paradise. The beach is stunning with beautiful sunsets just around the corner. There are loads of beach bars and restaurants around and the beach is clean with clear waters. Many tourists travel here for the day and stay elsewhere so this place was perfect for those evenings in a bar or on the porch and looking at the sea. This place is right on the sea and listening to the waves while falling asleep was relaxing. The amenities were excellent and a lovely warm shower to wash away the sand. The only issue with this place was the service and lack of cleaning/ restocking. Sand is an inevitability and we lacked the necessary tools to clean the room so it got quite sandy after a couple of days and the cups from the welcome drinks were there for three days. We don’t require or expect daily cleaning but we stayed 5 nights and the room was made up once (not including bedding and towels). That being said, this place is amazing. There are few better locations and the calmness made for a perfect little break for us. Will definitely stay here again! Also a little bonus for dog lovers- there is a gorgeous little beach dog that chills on the porch and gets excited every time you come and go! He was super friendly, loving us and loved by all the guests!
RRisky Adam ZulkifliWe really enjoyed our stay at S Resort. The décor is beautiful and well-designed, giving the whole place a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. Our room was clean, simple, and comfortable, which made our stay very easy and enjoyable.
The bathroom was also great — very clean, bright, and comfortable to use. The hot water and water pressure were consistent, which made showers really refreshing after a day out.
The location is excellent. It’s close to everything in El Nido town — the beach, restaurants, convenience stores, and the meeting points for island-hopping tours are all within walking distance. Getting around was completely hassle-free.
The staff were wonderful as well. Everyone was friendly, polite, and helpful. They responded quickly whenever we needed help arranging transportation or booking tours, which made our trip much smoother.
Breakfast was also enjoyable, with plenty of fresh options. The croissants were especially good — definitely one of our favorites each morning.
Overall, S Resort gave us a fantastic stay: beautiful décor, a comfortable and clean room, a nice bathroom, a perfect location, and warm, helpful staff. We’d be happy to stay here again and definitely recommend it to anyone visiting El Nido.
AaldenZhaoCost-effective, cheap during the May Day holiday. Internal hygiene is good, towels and other supplies are dehaired, toothpaste, toothbrush and shampoo are charged, it is best to bring your own. Very close to the beach, 3 minutes walk, there are many diving clubs next to it. Surrounding dining is also OK, Korean restaurants are not bad.
RRoss_sI stayed at Summer Homes Beach Front in Port Barton and it was such a relaxing spot. The location is perfect—right on the beach, so you can literally step out of your room and enjoy the sand and sea. The view of the sunset from the shore is beautiful and one of the highlights of my stay.
The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, with everything you need for a laid-back beach trip. It’s not a luxury resort, but that’s part of its charm—it has that quiet, provincial vibe that makes Port Barton special.
The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with little requests. They also helped arrange boat tours and transfers, which made things a lot easier. There’s also a small restaurant on site where you can order meals or grab a drink while enjoying the beachfront view
VVanCitadel (the name of one of the owners) is probably the ”best for the money” mini-resort in Puerto Princesa! My room had a king bed, was comfortable and included satellite TV, a fridge and sink area. The grounds a pool are clean, neat and look great. The pool is amazing for a property size. Even though the Citadel is located 1.5km away from one of the main roads and the Robinson's Mall there are small food stores nearby for basic needs. It's easy to get a tricycle from the road near the property to just about anywhere in the Puerto area. Do ask one of the locals what the fare should be to the placey you want to go.
Francois and Citadel, the owners are very nice and helpful. You will enjoy your at the Citadel!
BONUS TIP: Just up the road (north) to the left is a food store and cafe on the right side of the road. Inside is a dental office run by Dr Joy Zapanta. She offers a full range of dental services. I got my teeth cleaned for about US$20. I could see dental tourism as a future business for Dr Joy. Enjoy your stay at the Citaldel and get all your dental work done!
RRUMAANAHWe wanted to experience the beauty of nature and be close to the underground river tour so we booked this place. This place is absolutely beautiful and everything here is organic. The breakfast is served on time in your villa and everything is freshly harvested and cooked for you. If you want peace, tranquility and the sound of nature then this is the perfect place for you and your loved ones. This place is 1.5 hours away from the airport but 7 minutes away from the underground river tour. It was well worth our stay and we will be back. The staff was absolutely helpful and did everything they could to accommodate us as our check in time was 2am. Thank you Sheridan Organic Farm
GGuest UserCozy hostel, a communal place to chill and meet others. Activities are organised. Cleaning of sanitary facilities is maintained during the day. Please note that it is not quiet all the time at night due to party goers (in and out). In addition, there is not always water pressure, but that is the order of the day throughout Port Barton.
GGuest UserOverall the place is good, is mostly clean and front desk ladies were really helpful breakfast was correct.
Location is good even though is not in the proper downtown is really nearby and as an additional or extra benefit is over a hill so you would feel safe in case of maybe storms or tsunami. My only concern is that the room was too small, but they informed you about it so is correct.
