By accident I found this hotel and am so happy I did. It is a paradise away from the business of the town of El Nido on a huge beachfront of crystal clear water, amazing service, big comfortable rooms with an excellent restaurant, Sunmai, attached to it. This is not a place for singles who want to party and be surrounded by the noise of beach lined bars and restaurants. This is a place for couples wanting a romantic getaway, for families wanting to enjoy the freedom of an uncrowded beach and for a digital nomad like myself who loves peace to write my books, chill out and get amazing massages for $9 an hour next to the hotel..or in my hotel room for twice that. The staff are always smiling without exception and will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible or set up tours for island hopping or whatever else you need. I intended to stay 3 days and ended up staying 2 weeks as in all the places I have traveled, and I travel nonstop, I enjoyed this piece of paradise more than Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia, Korea, and Taiwan in just the last year. The beach is wide and clean and wonderful. The GM Aruther was so responsive I felt him as a friend. Most night there was a soft reggae like band playing and a happy hour of two for one drinks; 2 gin and tonics for $6!! Say what!!The restaurant had so many delicious choices and a brick oven pizza that was incredible. My fav was the sizzling squid and sizzling shrimp, the pasta dishes of many different types and the put of this world burgers. But I loved walking along the beach to feel the sand and breath in the saltwater air without crowds although on weekends a few dozen locals will join in to imbibe the special atmosphere. In El Nido town you can not swim on their beachfront

Nacpan Beach Resort and Sunmai Restaraunt were truly pleasant surprise in the quality and location on the very quiet Nacpan Beach. The four km long beach is the most beautiful and clean beach I’ve visited in Asia. White sand, excellent service and resort facilities and still some original untouched parts along the beach when you walk a bit further from the village. Simply amazing!
We enjoyed the friendly staff, relaxing massage, delicious foods and cold drinks right by the beach.
It was also lovely to see the resort management and staff taking care of the surrounding community and animals; there’s a turtle nesting cottages as the beach is also a nesting beach for many turtle species, and the resort allows the stray dogs wander around the facility. Be kind and kindness comes to you ❤️

Impressive resort! We got sea-view adjoining rooms. Hotel staff are courteous and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Thank you, Gemma, Danica, Hanna and Alvin. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and spacious. My only comment regarding the hotel room is the spaceman. I'm not sure what the room designer is trying to project here but it obviously doesn't fit with the room decor. It made me suspicious that there's a hidden camera so I put a shirt over it.
The beach staff is accommodating. They moved the chaise lounges under the tree for us so we can chill and relax in the shade. Aside from chilling at the beach, there are ATV rentals to explore the shoreline. One of the highlights is the release of turtle hatchlings into the sea.
There's the Sunmai restaurant where complimentary breakfast is served. Would have been nicer if the food containers are clam-style where you just open the lid instead of lifting the whole lid and no space to set it aside when we are putting food on our plates.
But overall, we loved this place and would recommend it to our friends.

As soon as we arrived the staff were wonderfully polite and accommodating, with a smooth welcome and check in experience.
The rooms we got had a fantastic view of the mountains, and on the other side the most spectacular view of the beach and ocean. The weather was great during our stay, and the waves were amazing. The rooms were large, very clean, and felt great to come back to after a day out! Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and room service were all perfect!
The beach bar they have for the hotel was by far the best restaurant and bar we visited on our trip! The food was so good (pork ribs were the best!) that we filled up breakfast lunch and dinner, with fantastic drinks to go with them - cold beer always available, and some more exotic cocktails where we were feeling more adventurous. The bartenders were one of the best parts also! They were friendly and funny, just fantastic to spend some time with at the bar - always had a good recommendation for food or drink! The live band every night was also a great touch, and really gave the place a fantastic atmosphere at night.
Night time was our favourite here, as we could see all the stars of the Milky Way at night!
We can’t wait to come back 😀

Super location on Nacpan beach, with large comfortable rooms, attentive staff, and a modern minimalist atmosphere. The room price includes an excellent buffet style breakfast at the adjacent Sunmai resto-bar on the beach. The hotel also arranged a shuttle bus to and from El Nido.

I was surprised the way the Nacpan resort and the Sunmai restaurant staff treated me and my family we are feel welcome. That go far beyond there device to us. They treated us a family. Our flight was rescheduled early, when we reached the resort they accommodated us right away prepped our they wake sure the room are very cold. I would like to thanks to the staff, especially Alvin from the front desk, Lee Ann, Rachelle, Debbie from the restaurant staff and rodgie from the pool. I would like to 6 stars but I can only give 4.5 stars only because of the road and the dogs. Rather than that everything awesome. If anyone will read this. I recommend Nacpan resort 100% Lyndon

Stayed in the Nacpan villa they called Airbnb it has a separate bedroom and they provided drinks in the fridge. Staff were great especially Joemar and Lindsey from the front office. Breakfast was not great as dog roam around the restaurant and facilities, so unsanitary. The beach is the best with warm water and calm waves. Will come back for the beach as this one of the best in the world. Took a tour A and brought us to some great water and scenery of El Nido. This is a must when traveling to the Philippines.

awesome all the way around. the location is the best if you want a beautiful large beach, excellent hotel and rooms with great service and peace away from the hustle and bustle in town of El Nido. My 3 days turned into 2 weeks. great breakfast, large excellent rooms and BIG bathroom with music each night in restaurant. The GM Arthur and his staff made my stay wonderful every day and the island hoping tours are just a 30 minute drive away into the town harbor

We had the best experience at Nacpan Beach Resort. We spent 3 nights with this Resort and got so amazed on how hospitable they are. Rooms are fully furnish and look really new as they just open recently. We are also given access at Nacpan Beach Glamping pool and fire pit. It was cool that we have everything we need here. Food at Sunmai restaurant which happen to be just infront our Resort was so delicious and the portion is so big. Also got our van shuttle with their affiliated transport company Nacpan Shuttle Service from Lio Airport to our hotel and back, it was a smooth transaction and the good thing is they leave on time. Overall my family had the most memorable holiday that we are all longing for. Can not thank them enough for making everything perfect.

Our family had such a great time there. Every staff greeted us with their smiles. My mother in law does not speak much English but the staff were so patient with her and was able to assist her with her needs.
The facility is brand new, everything were nice and new. Our family absolutely loved it.
The area is super safe, kids friendly; my wife and I were able to enjoy the happy hour service at the near by Sunmai restaurant with my daughter in sight having a ton of fun building sand castles.
The sunset was amazing !!! Highly recommended for couples/ family to go for a fun trip there.
