The staff were great, really friendly, polite, thoughtful and helpful especially at the restaurant/bar. Staff transporting to / from resort and town were also prompt and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and good mix of Filipino and Western options. Fruits were also a highlight, tasty and sweet dragon fruit, mango, pineapple and melon. The view of the beach and mountains from the restaurant and pool were also serene and picturesque. Try to avoid the rainy season. We were fortunate that the first 3 days were mainly sunny last two days were mostly rainy. Thank you to the staff for making our stay enjoyable.

Loved this place. We had the ocean view room and it was perfect. Lovely breakfast and restaurant onsite. Its hidden away from the main street and the accommodation sends you a tuktuk to go to and from town square which was perfect. I think one of the best places to stay near town.

This place was spectacular! The perfect honey moon location!
Included breakfast were the best! The place was immaculately clean and everyone friendly.
The one draw back, I paid delux thinking this was a pool and beach front although you get a bigger room, the standard are the ones pictured. Once on site you get taken very close to town as many times as you wish and return, this was quick and convenient.
The pools are open late, the spa facilities spot on and the bar and food mark up is to be expected! We have some amazing memories and pictures taken by staff! 5 star rating!

Amazing place to stay with great view! The food was delicious and service impeccable. Best part was the top notch food presentation. You could tell the person who made it loves their job. Only thing I could suggest to improve would be lighting in the room. At night, even with all the lights on, was not enough while packing my luggage.

This place was absolutely stunning! Everything about it was perfect. The bungalows were all situated around pools and had a very zen feeling to them. The spa was very relaxing. The restaurant was clean, the food was really good and the staff was great. Although its in walking distance to the town square, they offer free tuktuk's to bring you there and pick you back up. The staff, even after we checked out, were truly kind and offered a private room for us to use while we waited 3 hours before heading to the airport to go back to Manila.

This is the first place we have ever been to that was completely perfect! We thank Cadlao Resort for the experience.

Breakfast was very good — you order from the menu, choosing from a selection of Filipino rice‑based dishes or English options such as eggs or omelettes. You can then additionally take items from the continental buffet. Fruit was served on a plate, but it was only four small pieces rather than unlimited.

The staff were very helpful and friendly.

The only downside for us was the beach. We chose this hotel because it advertised “direct access to the beach”, but in reality it was a rocky shoreline with very shallow water — only about 70 cm deep — where you could immerse yourself but not actually swim.

Gorgeous property! Our seaside cottage was just perfect. Very beautiful view. The restaurant also had a lovely view and very good food. There is a free tuk-tuk service to take you into the little town. But it is only a 10 minute walk anyway. The pools were great and open til 11pm. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. And the staff went above and beyond in every way. You would pay double or more for this hotel in many other countries. We were so happy with our choice to stay here.

This was my favorite property in my entire 2 week Philippines trip! The staff were the nicest people I’ve ever encountered at a hotel. They were always polite, helpful, and personable. The location has the most amazing sunset view right from one of the pools or restaurant. It was such a great experience on our first night. The rooms are clean and well kept up. The food at the restaurants was so delicious as well. I think we tried pretty much everything on the menu. The resort is a short drive from the town but it is walkable if you wanted to. The resort offers a free shuttle at any time to and from the town. And they will arrange transfers to and from the airport as well. I have nothing at all negative to say about this place. I wish I could have stayed there much longer!

After staying at a busier part of El Nido, it was a welcome contrast to be at this hotel. Appreciated the hotel tricycle pickup to and from town. The front desk was really nice and helpful. Loved the welcome drinks and happy hour drinks. We mostly loved lounging by the pool because of the awesome views and restaurant near the pool. The food at the restaurant was great, we also enjoyed breakfast.
Was able to easily book tour A across the street per front desk recommendation and convenient transport back to/from town where tour meeting spot was. The tour was great btw. Hotel lent us towels to take.
Then we happened to be there Valentines Day, and my daughter’s boyfriend in the U.S. was able to surprise her with flowers with the help of the front desk. That was definitely a touching memorable gesture and we really appreciated the staff working with him through WhatsApp and the time difference.
Then after our check out, they had a dedicated air-conditioned reception room where we could shower or hangout before we had to catch our flight in the afternoon.

Beautiful hotel, food is amazing, views epic. Only negative is Lawin room, a beach front cottage backs on to a very noisy bar, the music should stop at 10pm, it didn’t one night and the hotel did respond and speak to the bar and they provide earplugs. But whilst having evening showers you do feel like you are at a youth hostel disco! With the base coming into the room. I would definitely stay at this hotel again but ask not to be near the bar.

Overrated and expensive for what you pay for. Staff was friendly and attentive. My room got downgraded from what I paid for. Booking company supposedly had to fight for my refund by calling Westin in Mexico City, Mexico. Only got refunded for one nights difference, when I was downgraded and moved to another room for 2 nights. Kinda upset!! Like above, place is overrated and very expensive. Went down the beach and got a beach front room for 1/3 the cost w/same view! Paid $4k pesos instead of $15k pesos I had paid at Cadlao.

I’ll start by saying that our stay was cut short due to the typhoon. We were only able to stay for one night.

The staff is so friendly and greet you with an amazing smile. In the short time we had, the grounds were nice and the room was pretty comfortable. Downside, it’s pretty warm in the bathroom and there is no TV (minor problem).

We were very disappointed with the bevahior of what we assume was management toward staff. On 2 separate occasions, in front of paying guests, he berated the staff for small errors. It was not professional and left a very bad impression.

I can only assume this is not an isolated incident and I hope that this behavior will change in the future for the staff’s sake.

The resort was stunning. The room was very clean and the restaurant was amazing especially their breakfast spread. The only drawback was the pool in our area (Cadlao 3) was not as inviting as the other pools. Also, there were some decorative features around the property that can potentially store stagnant water which lead to many mosquitoes in the area. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

The staff service is unquestionable. Everyone is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are clean and pleasing to the eye. Staffs are very attentive to guests needs and can be messaged 24/7.The road going from and to the property is not the most pleasant but they provide 24/7 transport which really helps. The property is very quiet and relaxing. If you need a place to relax, unwind and just enjoy silence, I recommend this resort!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cadlao, the staff were so friendly and everyone looked after me and made me feel very welcome. They assisted with carrying my luggage and booking an airport driver, and they were very responsive on WhatsApp which made me feel safe in case I was out and about and needed assistance. There is also a tuk-tuk that takes you from the hotel into town and back which was great!
It was quiet and peaceful at Cadlao and the beds were really comfortable, and the shower water was always warm. The only thing I would have enjoyed that the room didn’t include was a mini fridge to keep my food and drinks refrigerated.
The complimentary tea-time and cake at 4pm and then happy hour at 5-6pm was lovely as well. I would love to come stay here in the future!

Buffet breakfast and ala carte ordering were complimentary and provided an excellent choice of local foods and western dishes. Fresh healthy shots, juices and shakes were super delicious. Staff were friendly and made our room each day. Across the street was the tour company recommended and tour A with Albert was excellent!!! Town center was a complimentary tuk tuk ride away. Hotel transport to and from airport is available for a small charge. We beach hopped around the island by tuk tuk. Overall a wonderful stay and highly recommend! Thank you for an excellent, relaxing stay.

Lovely resort. Great service. Amazing views

A beautiful well taken care off small resort just outside nido town. We had a fantastic stay in a calm and relaxing setting. Stand outs were the staff. The free tuk tuk service was very reliable (it's also a nice 15 mins walk on the beach into town (at lower tide). Happy hour with beautiful sunset views, great food at th restaurant, fantastic massages at the spa. Wifi worked well and rooms while not very large were well designed. Only small niggle - there was no conditioner provided.

We would come back and highly recommend the place!

Our Favorite Hotel in the Philippines!

We’ve been traveling across the Philippines for 10 days (Manila, Boracay, Coron, and El Nido), and out of all our destinations, this hotel in El Nido was by far our favorite. It truly gives “White Lotus” energy—peaceful, luxurious, and effortlessly stunning.

Honestly, we expected this hotel to be the most underwhelming stay of our trip, but it ended up completely exceeding our expectations. It was a dream from start to finish.

If you’re looking for a quiet, elevated, and truly special experience, this is the place. We stayed in a Pool Cottage Room, and it was worth every penny—private, serene, and beautifully designed.

Also, Jinjer (restaurant on the resort) is the best food we’ve eaten in the Philippines. The entire experience is amazing. And the breakfast….AMAZING.

Also to mention, my partner and I felt extremely welcomed and so safe in this resort, especially being a gay couple.

We’ve already decided to make this hotel our annual vacation spot and are counting down the days until our return in April 2026!

I recently spent 10 days in Cadlao resort. This is a top notch resort and everything was just perfect. It is well worth the cost. The rooms are spotless. I witnessed the cleaning of the rooms when guest changes took place. They are meticulous and even wipe down the fans and walls. Our daily cleaning was excellent and it was so nice to come back to a spotless and nice smelling room after our days of excursions. The staff are so helpful and go out of their way to make all the guests feel welcome. The food at the resort was very good. From the lavish (included) breakfast to the Al La Carte menu. We were not disappointed by even a single dish.
Finally the location, the ambiance, the landscaping, all perfect for a romantic getaway. Don’t hesitate to book

Beautiful beachfront hotel with a restaurant, spa, and 3 pools. Included breakfast is a buffet and hot made to order food which was delcious. Parts of the buffet changed daily which was nice since we had a longer stay. They also include a free tuktuk ride to downtown which is where tours usually start. They also have a black cat named Ursula they have adopted onto the property who is very friendly. There was also a beautiful and friendly orange and white stray cat that visited me everyday i was there and sometimes slept on my porch. Hopefully he stays around and they will take care of him like they take good care of Ursula

Lovely resort with the kindest staff. The resort has 3 general areas, each with its own pool. The restaurant, Jinjer, is a standout and served some of the best Filipino food I’ve ever had - and I’m Filipino! It is elevated Filipino food that is really great. Loved the spa too. And the free tuk tuks to town were a great touch. Highly recommend

Our stay would have been 5/5 except for one recurring blemish! I will absolutely go back for the beautiful scenary, the garden landscaping, very kind staff, and nice spa. It was the perfect getaway for a couple. Very convenient to have access to everything but just slightly removed from the crowded loud area of town center. Also loved the transportation/tour arrangement shop and souvenir shop just across the road.

The one concern I want to raise for management and future guests is the cat that can get quite aggressive jumping on to the table and snatching your food in the restaurant. While most (including myself at first) find it cute that the cat is wandering around the dining area, it started to become problematic once we ordered fish and the cat was relentless in trying to take it from our table (even after staff took the cat away, it came right back).
We brought it to the staff’s attention and they tried to blame us for giving food to the cat (we didn’t! This made me upset but otherwise staff was nice so I let it go). The staff didnt seem to think it was a serious concern. Hope management will realize not everyone wants to eat their food constantly worrying the cat is gna jump on the table and swarm around their legs under the table. Some ppl are scared of animals.
Anyway, if you are a guest and not willing to draw attention from the cat, just don’t order fish at Jinjer.

Property location is beautiful and the resort grounds are wonderful. Breakfast is great! My only (slight) complaint was the Happy Hour sign was still out at the bar when it was actually past Happy Hourso I assumed it was still during that time but it was not. Regardless would easily recommend and return to this wonderful place.

Oasis of comfort and customer service.

Cadlao was a welcome oasis after weeks of hard travel. Everyone from the front desk staff to our server Monica in the restaurant provided the most professional customer service conceivable. Free shuttle into the busy little town 24hr a day. Included breakfast was delicious with many options to choose from. Must try the coffee jello! Dinner specials changed every night and the presentation and preparation was flawless. The rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds, hot water and strong AC. Can't ask for more. In fact, we changed our travel plans to stay two extra days at Cadlao -- it was that great.

The hotel staff is lovely, courteous, and pleasant. However, the internet is unbearable and non-functional. The room is nice but basic, definitely not a five-star experience, perhaps a four at best. Overall, it's pleasant but nothing more than that. The food is exceedingly expensive and doesn't really justify the asking price.

We arrived very late due to a delayed flight but immediately from check in until check out we were amazed by the wonderful service we received. The property itself is beautiful with 3 amazing pools to use and a beautiful view of Cadlao Island. El Nido town is walking distance but the resort offers free pick up and drop off from the resort to the town, making it convenient to explore the area. Rooms were cleaned daily.

We planned our tour ahead of time, but the front desk staff is efficient where you can book and activity day of, if there’s availability.

We enjoyed our breakfast views and wonderful staff that was very attentive to our needs, especially Amiel, Marie, and Kiara!!

We stayed in all 3 types of rooms!

We checked into this hotel and stayed in the third section with the third pool and it was an amazing room and a very calm and low-key swimming pool. We were staying there for several days and then upgraded to an oceanfront Villa with the most amazing view and in front of the middle pool which was more popular. One of our flights was canceled and we had to stay one more night which was 6 in total and we stayed in a garden view room and that was just as nice. The resort was very nice, they have a trike that can take you almost to town and can pick you up as well. It's a nice walk. If you don't want to take the trike. They have a good breakfast. The town is amazing and we had some wonderful tours. If you want to contact me I will let you know about all that. Tiffni

If you want an “island” style of serenity, this is the place! It takes you away from the city hussle and bussle and gives you the relaxation needed. We stayed in a poolside cottage and it was worth every penny. The customer service was top-tier, everyone was so friendly and so attentive. The resort a little off-ways from the town but still within walking distance (10-15 min) OR they offer a free tuk-tuk service to
Bring you closer to the town (5 min walk from checkpoint) - you can also call them to bring you back :)

The free breakfast was amazing and the views from the resort of Cadlao Island was mesmerizing. All in all we had a great stay and it was the perfect place to bring my boyfriend to experience the “island life” for the first time! 10/10 would come back.

Stayed here for 4 nights and found it a relaxing place to stay. With pools being in separate areas it meant the guests were spread out and didn't feel crowded. The location was quiet and was only a 10-15 walk into El Nido town. When we didn't feel like heading out the restaurant dining options were quiet reasonable and tasty too. The massage was excellent too
