Yes, we have snorkeling gear available! We have two boats and run tours every day from in front of the resort. As long as there's snorkeling gear available left after tours go out, our resort guests are free to use it. :)

Hello! Yes we now have 80 square meters of pool. :) There's a kid side, which is 30 square meters... and an adult side, which is 50 square meters. The pool has been working for several weeks now! We haven't posted pics yet because we're finishing up the poolside area to have more decking and lounge chairs. We will post pics within the next week or so!

We have free tricycles to and from downtown El Nido all day, until 10 pm! It's very easy to get a tricycle from downtown to the airport; the trip takes about 15 minutes and costs 250 pesos. If you'd like, we can also arrange an airport pickup and/or dropoff in a private van. It's 600 pesos for the whole van (if you have a huge family, the van company charges a bit more.) Just let us know over email if you'd like us to arrange a private van, and we can take care of it for you!

Yes, there are safety boxes in each room where you can store valuables! Each one comes with a lock that you can use to secure your belongings.

Hi, i seem to remember John (the owner) saying we could use the kitchen but i might be wrong so check with him directly in advance. Also, you want to stay 2 weeks in Caalan?!?! There is no swimming in the vicinity, as the sea bed is covered with dead corals. You would have to rent a bike/car/ tricycle to move around or do the boat trips to beautiful places. Mosquitos at night were a massive problem when we went last April so bring 100% deet and ensure you cover every inch of your body from sun down and before you go to bed. Although mosquitoes are seasonal so you might be lucky! Don't spend your whole holiday in El Nido, just do enough days to do the boat trips. If you want to stay in Palawan around El Nido check out around Las Cabanas beach, swimming is possible here. Or Duli Beach, only had one resort when i was there but the beach was a dream, although getting there it's not easy but once here you can relax and be a beach bum. These areas are a bit more expensive but still affordable. Or even better once you have finished exploring El Nido, take a short fly to another island. We went to Bohol and it was magic. Caalan resort it's basic but staff are nice and they make the best breakfast. Be aware tho that there is a lot of accomodation in El Nido that is not advertised online. So you can get a room at arrival if you feel adventurous, prices starting from arond 800 pesos, nice new places. It all depends what type of holiday you want, if you are active there's loads you can do here, even go to Coron. If you want to chill in paradise for 2 weeks don't stat in El Nido, it's not pretty, it's just a hub from where you'll do the boat trips. I hope this helps and enjoy your trip!
