The El Nido Pagalusian was absolutely a 5 star experience. The rooms are luxury (four seasons style), the complimentary excursions are excellent, the tour guides are great, the staff and manager are very helpful and friendly. The location is amazing, the water crystal clear and the sunsets are epic. Highly recommended!

The island was gorgeous. The staff from the airport, the boat, and the island were very attentive and the manager (Eduardo) was very hands-on. Doc Mel and Nurse Mel were very nice and helped me while I was sick on the island. Very impressive that they have a medical team on the island. All staff made our stay very seamless. Everyone was nice. The island-hopping option was a favorite. Overall, 12/10 on all aspects. Definitely worth it. We would love to return. Actually, all of my guests would love to return. Thats how wonderful the island, staff and amenities are. Thank you everyone!

The property is on an island with full board. Beverages are extra and priced reasonably. Fine sand beach but with plenty of rocks. Late February was very windy which cause very poor water visibility for snorkeling. Your stay includes speed boat transfers and island hopping tours. Airport has an exclusive departure lounge. Food and service were excellent. We witness hawkbill sea turtle release while we were there.

The beauty of the resort and villas are only paralleled by the EXCELLENT service! We stayed here last year, loved it and returned to stay much longer. It is my best vacation yet, thanks to Resort Manager Eduard and his staff- Frank, Romi, Sherrel from Restaurant Management, wait staff Jhan, Laurence, Romelle, Anton, Jude, Joy, Khaz, Maxine, Culinary Team Chefs Ric and Stanley, Lee and Glen, Front Desk Love, Kola, Dan, Jazel, Romeo, Noell, Jane, JoAnn, Kat, Tours Renel, Ryan, Anton, Raffy, Joven, Housekeepers Art, BBoy, Mike and Ford. Why so many? Because we were there for 9 nights and they were all wonderful! Pangulasian Island Resort may be pricey for some but it has good value for money. It’s a resort that you need to visit at least once in your lifetime. We are already planning our return!

We visited the island with family and my boyfriend, so it was both a family/couple trip. The villas we stayed in were HUGE and were 5-star resort quality. We were welcomed by the staff upon stepping off the boat and they were very accommodating throughout the entire stay. The food options were delicious and there was plenty to choose from for those with allergies. I definitely overate but it was worth it. As for the amenities, I did one of the 3 hour ritual massages and my family did almost all of the complimentary activities. Each one was super fun and the tour guides were more than helpful to those new to ocean swimming/kayaking. Although pricey, you definitely get what you pay for visiting this exclusive island. I mostly recommend it for couples or families with older children since most activities are ocean-based, and because some of the little ones were a bit disruptive to other guests lol. Definitely hard to relax when toddlers are running around and zipping in front of you at dinner time, but that's on the parents and not the resort. If anything, the staff did a better job at keeping the kids safe than the parents, haha.

We had such an amazing time. The entire trip was so personalized and catered to all our needs. We had a private tour guid pick us up at the baggage claim with complete VIP treatment. Took a 5min private van to dock,25min luxury private boat to the island. We were met on our arrival personally by the hotel manger, welcomed with a cool clothes, delicious drinks, and serenaded by a welcome song. Check in was seamless. Our beach front Villa is one of 42 rooms ONLY. Only structure on this island is the hotel. The entire island is private and all for you. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner are included. The food was amazing. You also can choose from an al Cart menu but really no need because the food choice is spectacular! Complimentary activities with your own private tour guide, who’s a trained swimmer so you feel super safe. Activities are amazing anywhere from 2-6hours you will be assigned your own personal guide the entire stay, they can take you shopping which we decided to do one of those days so inexpensive to take your own boat into town. The guide stays with you the entire time, assisting in anyway possible. The hotel is so impressive, just beautiful. Impressive views from everywhere. The rooms are beautiful filled with so many complimentary goodies, slippers,waterbottles, sun hats and snacks. Our Villa was on the beach couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful accommodation. Turn down service every night and daily house keeping. You truly feel like you are the only guest there. Only saw one person on the beach the entire stay. The pool was beautiful but never saw anyone there since you have so many options for activities and private beaches. The spa was beautiful and relaxing. The best I saved for last. THE STAFF I just have one word WOW!!!! They make you feel like you’re the only one on this island. They have 150 staff members for 42 rooms crazy! There is more staff than guest. They cater to your every want. I never heard anyone say no or we can’t my entire stay. This was the perfect vacation for our family of 4. My kids loved everything. We will definitely be back!!!
