Incredible

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 19, 2019via mobile
Stayed for 3 nights in the Water Cottage.

Ill start with the bad (not much):

1. Water Cottage doesn’t have an entrance to the sea straight from the balcony. This could be a major upgrade for the hotel facility and would definitely improve the stay.

2. Balcony is lacking some comfortable accessories: maybe a hammock and some more chairs.

3. Since I got to El Nido from Puerto Princesa the representative of the Apulit sent me an E mail asking me to pay 500 php per person from El Nido to Taytay. I must say this was very strange to me with the price I payed for the stay and the fact that the van is anyway complimentary for passengers arriving to El Nido airport what is the point charging me 2000 php (2 persons El Nido Taytay vice versa). For sure it gave me a bad feeling starting the trip to Apulit with this annoying request. Nevertheless, after complaining, when I got to Apulit I wasn’t charged.

Good:

1. Amazing stay. Staff is amazing! Always helpful always smiling and always kind.

2. Day Tours are so much fun. Snorkeling in different locations, taking a SUP/kayak and just enjoying the sea, rock climbing it’s all complimentary and great.

3. Amazing view and reef

Too much to write about the good just book and go there! Guaranteed fun!

Wonderful stay. Highly recommend for snorkeling and being close to nature. It is not a luxury resort - furniture was missing in our room and the AC required maintenance - also transfers to and from the airport were a big challenge, on the way out we had to wait for an hour at TayTay with no explanation and on the way back to the airport I had to sit with the luggage because they wanted to accommodate a local family on their own van.

Two people that made our trip memorable- Benjie who took us on many snorkeling trips and Amor who kept our room well stocked and clean. Food was also plentiful and most of the time made to order at the grill station. Aside the transportation glitch and the “rustic” condition of the resort we had wonderful time.

A private place to have a relaxing vacation if you are looking for a privacy. A good place for nature tripping, water sports and fun activities for the whole family.
If you are a nature loving and animal loving person, you surely will love this place.

We've been to Apulit Island Resort in El Nido for a 3D/2N trip, and it's a wonderful experience. The place is great and so are the staff who always made sure we're getting the best. Kudos to the head of F&B who always checked on my daughter if she's enjoying the food or if she wanted anything else. My daughter said she liked chicken adobo for breakfast. And they served chicken adobo for breakfast! We also did some island hopping and Isla Blanca is awesomely beautiful! We'll definitely be back! 😊
