An experience worth repeating! We were recommended to try and book our first vacay in a long time by our architect . To be honest, I didn’t expect much at first. I only expect the usual which are good accommodations and good service. However, I was blown away. By the time we landed to the time we departed. To be greeted with some of the best people namely: (a) our ever dependable tour guide, safety officer, dakilang photog, etc Mr. Raffy (b) our superb waiter always watching if you need anything Mr. Jude (c) the always smiling Mr. Mars, there’s no such thing as impossible. Just to name a few. All in all, the place is amazing because of the superb service of its wonderful staff. Simply WOW and world class. Proud to be Pinoy Shoutout to the managers: 1. Ms. Jennifer 2. Ms. Maya 3. Mr. Agbayani (who even prepped pastrami for us to take to the airport) Great leaders. You guys are amazing and obviously it shows how well- oiled the resort is. Proud to see pinoys performing at a level that surpassed other internationally renowned resorts. See you guys on December 2022 (don’t forget our reservation hehe!)…

After 2 years, this is our first vacation. My family is very excited for this trip. Ride a plane again, via AirSwift. I saw a you-tube video of this place, but the actual resort is even more beautiful. We stayed in the Beach Villa. The well-appointed spacious rooms fronting the beach, the cozy bed, the spacious bathrooms, and all the amenities are all great. The dining areas, the food, the poolside bar, the beach front and the swimming pool are all equally fantastic. The activities are well planned. The boat rides are clean well maintained. Most important are the management and all the employees, from the arrival at the airport up to the day we leave. They are all very nice and courteous, and very accommodating. I will definitely come back to this place again. I will recommend this resort to my friends and relatives. Congratulations to the Pangulasian Island team.…

Our trip to Pangulasian Island has finally pushed thru after it was postponed last year due to lockdown. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our guide Raffy who escorted us to their care center lounge, he also took care of gathering our luggages at the arrival area. We booked a beach villa which has direct access to their private beach and is also near the swimming pool. The villa was large enough for a family of 4. A king size bed can accommodate my wife, small boy and myself and the daybed on the side was converted into a full bed complete with beddings for my eldest. Everyday, they refill your daily cashew nuts and butter cookies which my youngest loves. Athena took care of our daily activities and booked the necessary arrangements for us to enjoy the lagoons and island hopping. She of the restaurant was also very helpful specially when she saw my son, who’s a picky eater, was not able to eat much, she offered that the kitchen can cook pasta for him. She also made sure to have my son’s favorite adobo available the next day and set aside some if ever my son do not have anything he likes to eat. On our daily activities, Raffy made sure we were comfortable and provided us with towels while traveling on boat. He also gave an unforgettable experience to my kids by guiding them through snorkeling in the various coral reefs. On the day of our departure, the front desk staff even had a send off to their guests, my kids were sad that we had to go home but definitely there will be a next time as they enjoyed every bit of activities we had in Pangulasian Island.…

Pangulasian Island Resort, El Nido from the moment we were greeted at the El Nido Resort by Anthon we knew we were in for a treat. Getting to the island gave us the first impression of Pandulasian Island’s beauty. Clear, clean waters and impressive lush islands of the archipelago. Our welcome from Jen (the resort manager) was so warm. She clearly leads by example, always there with a smile, a laugh and impressive tambourine skills. Her team genuinely wanted to give us the best Filipino experience and are proud to work for her and El Nido resorts. The quality of the villas was incredibly high and we were lucky enough to experience a villa with a private pool and also a canopy villa. Both with spectacular views and every comfort. The quality of food was impressively diverse; we didn’t have a bad meal! Our days were peaceful and quiet with a large range of private excursions; just what I needed to wind down. A few of the team really stood out : Love - always there with a smile (behind a mask, obviously), Athea - wanting to ensure we didn’t miss any of the amazing experiences Jude - who looked after us every meal time and preempted our every wish Renel - our personal guide who took us snorkelling to the best (and quietest) areas, exploring hidden lagoons and beaches and hiking to see the sunset. Also a jolly nice man with a infectious smile. John - my husband’s dive master who ensured he didn’t miss anything! His dive with a sea turtle will be remembered forever. Thank you to everyone who made our experience of Pangulasian Island a wonderful experience that we’ll cherish forever.…

The family literally had a blast. We were upgraded to a Beach pool villa and the experience was superb. Room is soooo big I have to run after my son. Chef Carlo spolied my son with all his favorites that were prepared on the spot. Jude , Jasper and Anton readily served with a smile. Sanders, probably the best F&B manager I have ever met in my entire tourism industry life should be given a 5 star recognition for being exceptional. Good amenities. Top notch facilities and bonus — Guide Dean probably gave the best narration of the islands and lagoons history. Very well versed like you are turning book pages. Plan to return for new year break👍🏻

We decided to go back to El Nido Palawan for my birthday - this time, with my husband and family (kids & Seniors) in tow. and wow, Pangulasian was nothing short of AMAZING. What was supposed to be our (extended) honeymoon, had now become a full-on family beach getaway, and it could not have been any better. From the pre-flight coordination to booking, to the actual stay, and even until departure - we were well taken cared of. Given that they were working with a skeletal force team, all the staff had such good coordination and foresight to cater to all our needs - that it was truly a relaxing getaway, worth every cent! We arrived a day ahead of the travel bubble and had the entire resort to ourselves. It was a fantastic experience - we got to enjoy the serenity and all the facilities before the rest of the vacationers arrived. it was a good way to get the kids and everyone else settled, discuss meal plans with chef carlos and activities with our guide, Raul, and coordinator, Athena. We got to know the rest of the staff as well after which, all we had to do was enjoy the rest of our days. We Stayed in 3 out of the 4 Kalaw villas located at the furthest end of the resort, we had a big pool and a dedicated indoor and outdoor dining area to ourselves. the beachfront was very rocky but we didn't mind since we spent most of our time in the pool or island hopping. The snorkeling spot is also right in front of the villas. We actually got to see many fishes and small sharks just by looking out. Meals - we were able to try out all the types of dining experiences: Dining under the stars on the beach , in the kalaw sala, by the pool (bento/room service), the buffet, and special birthday dinner in villa outdoor dining space. Chef Carlos was very nice & accomodating with the kids meals request - breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner was very enjoyable as they ate everything. Food was good. We thoroughly enjoy the burger, baked mac & cheese, pizza, all the seafood (crabs & unicorn fish were unforgettable), steaks, and fruits. Room & Facilities - could use some updating, many facilities looked very used and "weathered" down; some pool tiles are broken, bathroom carpets had evident stains; outdoor walls could use repainting; rooms had CBTL coffee machine with pods, TWG tea, and drinking water made available always; Shower and Faucet water had minimal saline taste to it, better to gargle with water bottles provided. Service - 5 Stars, they definitely went above and beyond. It's so good that you can ever so slightly forgive the weathered look of the place and just attribute it to the Nature effect. Activities - we had a dedicated guide from Pick up to departure, Sir Raul Hands down was the best guy for the job! Our group was very diverse - Kids, Seniors, Outdoorsy Adults, and Honeymooners - yet he was so great and attentive to all of us. Recommended the best activities to suit everyone's pace and made sure we were well-equipped all the time. He had sand toys for the kids, guided us on the hike and hobbiecat, always ready to assist seniors, and was on top of the safety of everyone. Spa - book massage ahead of time as this fills up fast. It was done in a no-frills spa room, suggest getting this done early as there are limited therapists and get tired later in the day. very basic, nothing too special. honeymooners - we occupied the very last room on the island, it was very private and lovely. We exceptionally commend the details they prepared. they had wine, a little dessert congratulatory cake, and the bed spread surprise. kids - the rooms had little robes, hats, and slippers for their use! it was the cutest. they have readily available sand toys, they air-filled the beach toys and floaters, meals weren't a problem as they checked in from time to time if they were able to eat and if they could offer anything else. they have kiddie utensils and cups too that helped make meals enjoyable for them too. seniors - very good place for R&R. the TV had decent channels should they want to stay in. Advice - if they easily get uncomfortable sitting long periods, bring a seat cushion for the island hopping/boat excursions/long dining services. Golf carts are available to shuttle them to and fro the main hall. suggest having them stay in the villas that have the least stairs to and fro the access road. Overall, we can't wait to be back and enjoy the Pangulasian Experience! Suggestions: - book kalaw villas for privacy and best for families / groups of friends - book beach villas (v. 14-17) close to the pool so it's an easy walk - book pool villa 30 for that infinity pool-Esque look & privacy…

Our first family trip after the 2 years of Covid was indeed a memorable one. The facilities of El Nido Pangulasian was luxurious and very clean. The buffet meal choices were plentiful and ingredients were all very fresh especially the seafood. The activities were very exciting and catered to ages 2-65. But what made the most difference in our vacation was the staff. Their customer service was top-notch. The guides assigned to our family took good care of us. They made sure we were all safe and comfortable in the boat and in our activities. That’s why all of us were game! We were all confident about our safety. When the wind was too strong and we chose not to go out, they conducted craft classes - they taught us how to make different items using the coconut leaves. To Mark and Anton, maraming, maraming salamat. From our arrival to our departure, you went out of the way to make sure we enjoyed our vacation. Not to be forgotten were the servers who volunteered to even carry our plates even if we could easily do so ourselves. And the driver of the golf cart who patiently picked us up anytime we needed to go somewhere. The front desk personnel who were always there to take our calls and even reserved the library for my husband’s important zoom calls. The chef and manager who went around during meal times to make sure we were all looked after. Truly, you made us all feel special. We requested for a special dinner for my daughter’s birthday which we held in the dining area of the Kalaw Villas. We had the freshest prawns, lobsters and fish among others. And the heads of the different departments, led by the resort manager, even came to bring a birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday. The Pangulasian Island of El Nido Resorts is definitely world-class because of its facilities and its people. Maraming salamat! We will be back.…

One of the things I love about this resort is how accommodating, warm, patient, kind, and generous the staff is. Shoutout to Alwin, Lyns, Romi, Kean, Alvin, Love, Jen, & Frank. They have been so kind & always ready to help us. I’m in awe with how these people never get tired of smiling & just helping us out. My family & I have been so happy with our stay here. Tomorrow is our last day tomorrow & I’m sad to go. The beach villa was amazing. Everything was complete & they even gave us extra toiletries! Our island tours were so spot on because of their help. I’m really happy with everything in this resort. Please always be kind to the resort staff wherever you are!!!
