Top Small Lagoon Hotel Reviews

S Resort El Nido Managed by H Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn't fault it even if I was looking for it. Excellent experience"

El Nido Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff are accomodating, Friendly and pleasant."

Amari By Vivere Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so nice and accommodating. Location was great and food was delicious. Would highly recommend Amari."

Seda Lio El Nido Palawan

8/10 Good

"A good, clean hotel with excellent service! There is a beautiful view of the beach! Breakfast was good, but dinner was not tasty. The only downside was the lack of a restroom near the reception—very strange for a hotel of this class, and it was quite inconvenient having to walk so far to use the facilities. Another major issue was that the air in the restroom was unbreathable due to an excessive amount of chemical air freshener; the chemical odor was so strong it stung the eyes—it felt like one could actually suffer from toxic poisoning from the fumes! Everything else was good."

Vellago Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Vellago Resort in El Nido was the highlight of our trip to Palawan. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like a king and queen. Everyone was warm, genuinely friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. You can tell they truly care about making every guest feel special. The resort is spotless. Every corner, from the rooms to the common areas, was impeccably clean, and it has every amenity you could want for a relaxing stay. Our room was the real showstopper: it's built right into the mountainside, blending beautifully with the natural surroundings. It looks stunning and feels like a private hideaway in the middle of a mountain. Parts of the resort had been damaged by a recent storm, and the team was busy with remodeling and repairs during our stay, yet everything was still kept beautifully. The resort offered the peace and quiet we were hoping for. It's the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of El Nido. We can't recommend Vellago highly enough and would love to come back! A must-do experience is the private island-hopping tour. We visited six islands, kayaking in breathtaking lagoons, and relaxed and have lunch set up right on the beach on some of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen. The water was crystal clear and every stop felt more amazing than the last. Our captain and the tour guide were wonderful: knowledgeable, fun, and attentive, and they made the whole day unforgettable. Don't leave El Nido without doing this!"

El Nido Coco Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to town and a relaxing stay with very friendly staff and a great customer experience."

Mansion Buenavista

10/10 Excellent

"My second time staying at this hotel and really enjoyed it. Definitely worth it for the view, fresh breakfast, amenities, professionalism of the staff, and walking distance to El Nido town. I was very happy to see how many improvements were made during my last stay 2 years ago. The owner is great and made me feel at home. Highly recommend this hotel."

H Hotel El Nido - Vegan Friendly Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"這次入住愛妮島的 H 飯店，整體設施讓人印象深刻。我們特別喜歡他們的頂樓景觀酒吧 Piece of Sky，傍晚上去喝調酒看夕陽非常舒服，氣氛真的很放鬆。飯店也有提供合作的健身房，設備還算齊全，下午沒事可以去動一動，晚上再去 H Signature Spa 按摩，非常方便。房間內的私人景觀陽台視野很好，可以直接看海。飯店的公共設施跟地點都滿方便的，走路就能到海灘和市區逛街，是一次很不錯的住宿體驗。"

Pangulasian Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The snorkeling spots around the island are good. All the included activities are worth enjoying"
