Everything about Hotel El Nido was amazing, however the one person who truly made our trip awesome and will forever be in our thoughts due to his efficiency, kind demeanour and overall great person will be Mr. Tan. From the time we met him at the airport to the time we departed , Mr Tan was amazing. During our trip he recommended some beautiful beaches to visit as well as other tourist attractions but what amazed me the most, was that he remembered our whole groups names from the time he met us. Wish there were more people like Mr. Tan in the service industry.

I absolutely loved my stay at ALON. The villa was just gorgeous - everything was so clean and of the highest standard. I loved the attention to detail, the Filipino-inspired decor, and the plants around the villas! It was definitely relaxing being surrounded by nature. There’s hot shower (even a robe!), aircon (which I didn’t get to use much since it’s nice to feel the breeze during the day), and Starlink (an amazing thing to have since I still had to work). Outside the villas, it also looked so well-maintained. The location is amazing. ALON is in the middle of the rice fields, so you won’t get disturbed by karaoke at night. It’s near Nacpan beach, which I think is the most beautiful beach in the Philippines, as well as the main road, which you can take to further explore the north of El Nido or check out the main El Nido town. On top of all this, the owners were just so exceptionally welcoming and friendly. They ensured my stay was comfortable and even provided wonderful tips for traveling around El Nido. Overall, I highly recommend this place, and without a doubt, I would stay here again.

Super friendly staff, manager in particular was so helpful!! From the time of booking until after I left. Food was really good. I hired a scooter from them, they listened to what I wanted to do and made really good suggestions and organised an awesome guide rather than having to do the ‘normal’ touristy things in Sabang. Swimming pool and views are amazing. The rooms are small, but they are comfy, clean and private. They have lovely views. Really good value accommodation.

Everything was really nice. It is a little away from the town but it was perfect because El Nido is really noisy at night (loud music til 4:00 am). And it was no difficult to arrive there walking or by a motorbike, you have to drive just a little through the beach but it was easy.

This has been our most expensive accommodation in the Philippines but worth it for a little bit of luxury (in comparison to the general Phillipino benchmark). The room is spacious, the bed is large (king) with space and a small bedside cabinet either side to keep a few things. The bathroom is tucked around the corner and is also spacious, as is the shower, which has good flow and pressure. A separate set of beach towels were provided which is a must as you are in El Nido! Breakfast is delicious (we tried everything but the fish dish, you pre-order the night before and it's served exactly on time). Room 1 has a balcony and more natural light so go for this room. The staff are helpful, if you need anything, just ask. And the location is great - turn left, walk 75m and you're at the beach. Note our research showed El Nido beach is not swimmable - it is. The water and sand is clean, but just wait until after the boats have left for island hopping and be sensible when they return late afternoon. For island hopping, Tour A is more beaches and Tour C is more for snorkeling (the latter was our preference).

Room and bathroom are modern, clean, and more spacious than other hotel rooms I've been in. The staff is extremely kind, friendly and helpful. They helped me phone Philippines Airlines to rearrange flights and airport transfer when the airline cancelled my flights. They also arranged a room for us to stay while waiting for the airport transfer. My bf left his headphones in the airport transfer van and the hotel staff helped contact the van driver and even arranged a van just to deliver the headphones back to us and kept in contact with us via WhatsApp all the time. Can't thank them enough!

The wow factor was definitely at Twin Lagoons and Kayangan Lake. Loved swimming and snorkelling although coming from Australia, the corals and fish were a bit underwhelming. Plenty of cafes and restaurants in Coron Town. We especially liked the french restaurant Armihan Bistro, Poco Deli (next door to Epic Cafe) and Le Voyage. All catered for Gluten Free meals as well. Tuk Tuks are plentiful and easy to catch. 50 pesos for 2 peoples to take you anywhere within the town boundaries. We also walked to the hilltop lookout Mt Tapayas .. but beware, there's 720 steps to climb to get to the top from the car park!!!

We did the underground river tour. It was rainy but still worth it. It was one of the most unique experience for us to see how the river caves formed and all the different stalagtites and stalagmites formation Other attractions we would probably like to see is Honda Bay.

Absolutely!

Absolutely! San Vicente really flies under the radar compared to El Nido and Coron, but that’s part of its charm. It’s less crowded, more laid-back, and still boasts those stunning, unspoiled beaches—especially the 14-kilometer Long Beach, which feels like a hidden gem. The slower pace and warm, genuine hospitality from the locals really give it that authentic "island life" vibe. It’s perfect for people looking to relax, connect with nature, and avoid the more tourist-heavy scenes. Some even say it’s what El Nido felt like 10 or 15 years ago.

Every day I walked from the hotel to Sabang wharf on the beach and on one day had coffee, adobo and itlog in a small cafe there. Everyone was very friendly, and I bought some Pasalubong, when they did not have my tee shirt size, they went to another shop to get it for me and to get change when I gave them 1000 peso note. I asked directions to the falls, but no one was exactly sure where it was or how long it would take to get there. The place was secure (police station at the wharf and coastguard and army regularly on patrol in the area. I eventually found the park that a friend recommended (5 km from the hotel) and had an excellent buffet lunch there twice and again they made Chester very welcome, the park was free and had some interesting, recycled artworks and a tribute to the devastation in the area by Typhoon Odette- well worth a visit. Also visit Buenavista viewpoint- the local community run it and you can get Buko juice, coffee, snacks and Pasalubong plus take great photos of the bay

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping. If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home. Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February. To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

A delightful quiet backwater and so far less developed town. The beaches were beautiful and mostly clean. The town has plenty of activities to offer and places to eat. The whole place is walkable but you may want a Tuktuk or moped to visit further beaches.

If you intend to visit Palawan you need to be more informed than I was. The Philippines are a poor country. Accommodation is cheap and as such you get what you paid for - No hot water, some cockroaches, you cannot swim in the water because of the jellyfish, plenty of sandflies and no shop to get any relief medication. There is no way to move around unless you organize transfers that cost you as much as your accommodation. A must see if you would like to see the culture. We were unable to snorkel due to weather

El Nido has so many fun things to do, and we liked that while there were a plentitude of tourist options, we were not separated from local culture and activities that sometimes happens in other places. We were only there for four days, and we could have stayed another week. The beaches are beyond stunning, both the ones you can walk to and the ones that need a boat. The snorkeling was fantastic, the food options endless, and the vibe was chill and fun.

The calamian group of islands of which Coron is part of, is beautiful. And I hope all the measures to keep it pristine and unlittered will be successful always. There are many breathtaking sights. You would need a sizable budget though to be able to enjoy the boat tours which are wonderful. If you have the time, visit Culion. It is historical (a UNESCO site), and while the places to see could do a little tidying up, nevertheless, the history of that place invites reflection and inspires--many heroic people lived on that island. Kudos to the religious who have kept the place going since it was first established. The Culion museum should be your first stop.
