We recently stayed at this resort hotel and overall had a pleasant experience. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the amenities—from the pool to the common areas—were impressive and well-maintained.
However, we were quite disappointed to return to our room after housekeeping had been in, only to find the door left open. This raised serious concerns about security and left us feeling uneasy. Thankfully, nothing was missing, but it’s something management should seriously look into.
Also, while the breakfast buffet was decent, the variety was limited. For a resort of this caliber, we expected more options to choose from.
In summary, it’s a nice place with great staff and facilities, but there’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to security and food offerings.
If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and find a paradise, this is the best choice  The whole butler service, any request will be answered in seconds. The hotel is very new and the facilities are very good. There are many lounges where you can relax and play mahjong in the lounge, and it is a high-end electronic mahjong table. Superb haha
Facilities: new very beautiful room hidden in the jungle, quiet
Hygiene: clean
Environment: I like it very much. Tropical jungle. High-end hotel. Walking on the small road. Relax.
Service: Very satisfied, responsive, second reply
1 bottle of free wine: In the room received, thank you very much
Free round-trip airport transfer: Very close to the airport
Take a one-hour speedboat ride from Batangas Port to Friday Resort in Puerto Galera. A paradise, the room facilities and service quality are first-rate, and the quality of the hotel's food needs to be further improved. It is a holy place for vacationing with children and family. Why do Chinese people rarely go to this island for vacation? It is considered a virgin island.
During the National Day of China, this hotel is still off-season from Monday to Thursday. There are only 6 rooms each with 3 rooms. The hotel has direct access to the beach, and snorkeling tools are available at any time to find small fish. The hotel also has canoes for free to play for 15 minutes and get tired
My husband and I celebrated our second year anniversary at Cauayan. We considered other resorts but we have definitely made the right choice. The island is just breathtaking! We were greeted with a warm welcome by the hotel staff and were escorted to our beautiful villa. My husband arranged a private tour of El Nido islands, where we ended up visiting about 7 spots with our guide even acting as our photographer (he took fantastic photos and videos too). In terms of food, the buffet breakfast offered a wide array of food selection. For lunch / dinner, we enjoyed all that we ordered (though some are really very spicy, so take note). The bar staff can concoct amazing drinks as per your mood & whim. I particularly enjoyed the spa and wished I booked a much longer massage. Our stay at the island became so much more meaningful when we witnessed hawksbill sea turtles being released to the ocean….As amazing as all these are, the best part of our stay in Cauayan is the friendly and customer focused staff. They prioritize the customers’ needs, always have a smile on their faces and have just made our stay in El Nido a memorable one. Thank you Cauayan and we will surely return for another amazing experience at your island!
Anything is possible, 5mins!
Yes, they do it here. Kudos to Duty Manager Ms. Divine😇 she made our stay unforgetable providing extra mile beyond her duty and boundary🙏 Thanks much
Food is great too, breakfast is never the same everyday.
Our room is clean right after our 7am breakfast, never experienced that huh 😀
Lounges everywhere from the beach to the pool area, amazing beach front too within the vast property.
Recvd a happy bday from everybody too, wondering how do they know.
Will definitely be back here at SEDA LIO🤩

Amazing experience with super flexible hospitality service! It was a great gesture from the team to pack us some water and sandwiches during our 6AM check-out and 5-hour van transfer to PPS airport! Thank you so much for your kindness.
Regarding the room itself — super clean and well maintained. Aesthetics are on point. The bed is the comfiest I’ve slept on in a while!
My stay at El Nido Resorts Lagen Island was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff's warmth and genuine hospitality were exceptional; they always wore smiles and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. From assisting with ferry bookings to surprising me on my birthday with a beautifully decorated bed and a delightful cake, their thoughtfulness was truly heartwarming. Special thanks to Carell, Jojo, Harnie, John, and Arvin for their outstanding support.
The resort's happy vibe upon arrival sets the tone, and you leave with a smile, longing for more. The complimentary tours, seamlessly integrated into the package, were made exceptional by the supportive guides, creating a private and well-timed experience. Opting for the overwater bungalow was a unique and enchanting experience, adding to the paradise that is El Nido Lagen Island.
The buffet-style meals offered three times a day were a culinary delight. I wholeheartedly recommend El Nido Resorts Lagen Island for an unforgettable and highly recommended getaway. Thank you for an exceptional stay!
Amazing

TToddSpectacular, beautiful resort! Sorry I didn't have a date since this is truly a couples place. But I did enjoy the solitude, perfect beach and included snorkeling, and double bed hut right on the sand with wifi! Food is better than average for Philippines. Not sure how they even get the food here or how they could have built such a nice place on a deserted island (20 min boat ride from Basuanga airport after short van xfer). Beware there are a few thousand bats if you're in the main hotel and at dusk they kinda go nuts flying around...

AAnonymous UserBeautiful place with a clean beach and christal clear water, a good service and average food quality. Difficult to reach, but any transfer is perfectly organized by Hotel management.
As nice as the location is and understanding that they need to have a own power and water plant, complex logistics, it is in my personal opinion heavily overpriced. Breakfast and food quality in general is nothing special, but priced as 5 Star resort in the Maldives, where you are pampered like a king/queen.
A boats trip for 500€ with a ham and cheese toast and on a wooden junk cutter is just not worth, as nice as all staff is.
I enjoyed the time, but would not repeat it. There are much better value for money offers in this luxury category.

GGuest UserThe resort is remote but it has spectacular views of a tranquil bay. The infinity pool looks out to it and surrounding islands. We upgraded to a bay view bungalow which is much nicer than the cheaper waterfront room. The food is very good and the service is even better. The island hopping tours are great. The gym is very small though if you are into fitness. There is no beach. Other than that, it is a great resort. Quiet and peaceful.
