Guest UserHad such a fun stay at this hostel! The location is perfect—everything’s just a short walk away, with tons of restos, bars, and souvenir shops nearby. The staff were super friendly and really accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot whether you’re traveling solo or with friends.They also serve free breakfast every morning, and honestly, sipping my coffee out on the balcony was one of my favorite parts. The view there is just amazing. Would 100% recommend!!!

Hi, stayed in Lagen for 3 nights. If I can give more than 5 stars that definitely would get it. Everything- the service, the view, the room, the hospitality, the food, the wellness center and again the service were the best I ever got during my life. I am sure I will be back next year!!! Thx Lagen resort for an amazing time💜

Alma CMy husband and I celebrated our second year anniversary at Cauayan. We considered other resorts but we have definitely made the right choice. The island is just breathtaking! We were greeted with a warm welcome by the hotel staff and were escorted to our beautiful villa. My husband arranged a private tour of El Nido islands, where we ended up visiting about 7 spots with our guide even acting as our photographer (he took fantastic photos and videos too). In terms of food, the buffet breakfast offered a wide array of food selection. For lunch / dinner, we enjoyed all that we ordered (though some are really very spicy, so take note). The bar staff can concoct amazing drinks as per your mood & whim. I particularly enjoyed the spa and wished I booked a much longer massage. Our stay at the island became so much more meaningful when we witnessed hawksbill sea turtles being released to the ocean….As amazing as all these are, the best part of our stay in Cauayan is the friendly and customer focused staff. They prioritize the customers’ needs, always have a smile on their faces and have just made our stay in El Nido a memorable one. Thank you Cauayan and we will surely return for another amazing experience at your island!

We had an amazing stay at Lihim Resort and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The accommodation was excellent – very comfortable, clean, and beautifully maintained. The food at the restaurant was outstanding every time, fresh and delicious, and definitely one of the highlights of our stay.
A special mention goes to Nicky, who was always incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel truly at home. The butlers were also amazing – professional, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.
Overall, Lihim Resort exceeded our expectations, and we were extremely satisfied with both the service and the atmosphere. We would gladly come back and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay.

Erik BergströmmThe garden tent was nestled among coconut trees. At night, the sounds of insects mingled with the waves, and I thought it would keep me awake. Instead, I slept better than I do at home.
The place is quite a distance from El Nido town center, which is something to be aware of. The hotel can arrange boat tours, but each tour involves a car ride of about forty minutes there and back. They do offer transfers, which is good, but in the afternoon when everyone wants to go down for sunset, the car gets full.
Sunmai has live music in the afternoon. I sat there with a beer, the sea breeze, music, sand, and sun. I thought if this scene were in a movie, it would feel a bit too contrived. But it was real, and it made no difference.
Its remote and slightly impractical location is actually a plus. There are fewer people, a calmer atmosphere, and the beach at Nacpan feels almost like your own private paradise.

Dim AA good hotel. The Wi-Fi worked well, and they cleaned it every day. There's a water cooler in the hallway, which is convenient. The breakfasts are basic, not very filling, but they do fried eggs and omelets. It's a 30-40-minute walk to the center of El Nido. I really didn't like the pool; it was moldy and unpleasant to swim in, even though it was cleaned every day. The hot water was unclear; it would come out warm, then cold, and the temperature would constantly fluctuate. The hotel is quiet, and the grounds are very cozy and beautiful. We booked all our excursions through the hotel. The staff is pleasant. The air conditioning is very well-installed; it doesn't blow on you at all. There's a nice fan on the balcony. For the price, this is a very good hotel, although it has its drawbacks. Considering the problems with hotels in El Nido, I can confidently recommend it.

Marc in ShanghaiLocated just north of the main town and boat departure beach. Complimentary 24-hour tuktuk service, but walking only takes 15 minutes or so. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Room was nice and A/C worked well. Bed and pillows were a little firm, but reasonably comfortable. Included breakfast is good.
Resort is divided into 3 parts. Cadlao 1, 2, and 3. 1 is at the entrance, 2 is next, and 3 is the farthest away (but still only a few minutes walk). 3 is also the most secluded, which might make it a little quieter.
J Benito tour agency is directly across from the entrance, if you want to schedule tours.

Guest UserThe property is small and although not right in the beach it is only. ashore walk through the garden and past a few bungalows to the beach. Not sealt a swimable beach, a bit muddy during low tide.
The staff were friendly enough but the toilet continues to have problems with flushing so I assume that either the sceptic tank has not been cleaned out for a long time or there is a plumbing problem, either way we solved the problem by putting sufficient water in the plast
ic trash can and would use this to flush through after a big message, all in all not nice when staying two nights, and seeing that management did not do anything about this ( as reported in an earlier review). The bar busy the beach is uninspir8ng, no wonder all guests go nextdoor for happy hour drinks! Suggest to take the pool away and put a nice bar area so guest can enjoy sunset with a great bartender and incredible service then you could be way ahead. The owner manager should sit there every day and talk to guests to find out why guests don’t sit there and fix the problem, not rocket science.
Breakfast service team and garden pool bar team zaling a good job.

Matinloc Island is truly one of the best places to visit in El Nido, Palawan. The island offers not only breathtaking natural beauty but also an unforgettable experience thanks to its delicious food and wonderful staff.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. They treated us like family and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish.
The cooking was excellent — every meal was freshly prepared and full of flavor. The seafood was especially amazing, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and served with care we very love the steam fish. Big thank you for the chef 10/10,dining by the beach while enjoying the view made the experience even more special.
The room design was modern, with touches of tropical style that made it feel warm and relaxing. The large windows and balcony offered stunning views of the beach and ocean — waking up to the sound of the waves and the sight of crystal-clear water was simply magical. The bed was soft and comfortable, and the room was well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
We also appreciated how well-maintained and spotless everything was. The staff made sure our room was always tidy and fresh, and they were quick to assist with any requests. The bathroom was spacious and clean, with good water pressure and quality toiletries provided.
Aside from the food and service, the island itself is absolutely stunning. With its crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and peaceful atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to relax, explore, and take beautiful photos. Whether you’re visiting for a day tour or staying overnight, Matinloc Island offers the perfect mix of beauty, comfort, and hospitality.

Upon arrival, I was a little surprised by the somewhat isolated road, but as soon as I arrived, I found a special place... beautiful, welcoming, the owner was friendly and thoughtful, she helped us with everything, then rented scooters that allowed us to explore the beaches, etc. Always hot water, air conditioning, satellite TV... swimming pool, in short, a dream. I will definitely be back.
