Went with husband and two young girls, and it was truly a paradise. Lagen Island was perfect for us as a family. It wasn't too busy and we could have some quiet time. Miniloc Island is closer to the activities like Big Lagoon, has a better snorkeling area, and has a bigger beachfront. Lagen also has a beachfront - Cove 2, that can be accessed by speedboat or kayak. - We stayed at a Beachfront Cottage, which had a terrace with a panoramic view of the limestone cliffs and blue sea and sky. We enjoyed watching the sunset from here and from the cocktails area. - Swimming pool was big and clean, 4 feet deep, which kids can swim in safely with a life vest. - Food was very good. Several enough options to select from the buffet to fill one's stomach. - There's a doctor and nurse on-site, which is very convenient and gives one peace of mind. - We availed of the tours to the various sites in El Nido - Big and Small Lagoons, Secret Lagoon, caves and beaches. Joe, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and guided our children to see colorful fishes during our snorkeling and swimming. (Note that there are several boat transfers and that access to some sites require some minor crawling.) - All of the staff are very accommodating, friendly, and helpful -- this made the place extra special. My youngest daughter was indeed very sad to leave El Nido, for she will miss the people who made our holiday fun and memorable. Highly recommended for families with children and with teens, for couples, for travelers who enjoy nature.

Overall an incredible stay. We stayed for two nights which was just enough to do the tours we wanted but wish we would have planned for longer. Planning the tours was super easy and does not need to be done in advance. Each one is a half day and we were able to do two of them in a single day. One of the tours brings you to lunch/snorkeling at Miniloc Island which is an absolute MUST.

There’s so many wonderful things that I could write about how beautiful both the people and the place is but will do my best to keep my review reasonably short. From the moment we arrived at Lio airport up until we left, we have been truly taken cared of up to the point that I felt spoiled. All the staff were so accommodating and attentive to all of our needs. Special shout-out to our guides Marlon and I think his name was Benjie for being so helpful and making sure that my elderly parents did not miss out on the fun that the rest of us were having. I would like to thank agin all of the staff, even if I’ve missed out on their names now, for making this trip very memorable for all of us. If you’re thinking about going to El Nido, you should definitely stay here and I hope to be able to come back again very soon.

Lagen Island exceeded our expectations. From the moment we landed at Lio and Arnel met us at the airport, to the warm hospitality at reception, amazing meals, views from our veranda and just playing ping pong and billiards by the pool, we felt at home and everyone there felt like family. Thank you especially to Arnel for being so kind and gracious to our 3 kids, Lola and Lolo (who don’t usually enjoy beach resorts but he did a great walking tour of the island with them and accommodated a boat ride back to the resort for them mid-day when they joined us in the morning for one of our tours), and to us so we could enjoy the islands also. After doing a whirlwhind of activities in Manila and surrounding areas the week prior, ending our Philippines trip in Lagen Island was perfect. One last note - the sunsets are gorgeous and drinks by Gummy and Dave were awesome (as was fun conversation). We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Thank you!

This place was beyond my imagination never thought that what I only dreamt became a reality. I've been to many places but nothing like this I ever visit before, the ambiance was so friendly, and naturally feels like home. From the staff to the rooms was so extremely accommodating. I slept like a baby for once in my life I forgot all my worries. The food was great together with their amazing ideas for the setups for outside dinner. I admired all the hard-working staff, including the manager who was so hands-on doing all the rounds from welcoming us to singing and dancing for the newly arrived guest together with other staff and officers who are multi-talented as well. So grateful I experienced staying here as they said, we only live once so make the most of it. My only advice is if you be able to come here, don't limit yourself, and enjoy taking pictures, tressure the moment. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for inner peace, space, moment in a paradise, and a taste of the good life.

El Nido never disappoints and being our first visit to Lagen post-pandemic, the resort and its staff gave my wife and I a wonderful time. From landing in Lio until our journey back to the airport we always had special attention. The resort is pristine, peaceful, and alive. Rooms were spacious and clean. The gym needs some refurbishing but otherwise everything was great. Best element of the resort is its staff, who are super attentive, friendly, and courteous. Thank you Daisy and team for looking after our every need! Will definitely come back another time.
