We had an incredible stay at Cadlao Resort and Restaurant, where every aspect of our experience was exceptional. The seamless check-in process and attentive staff set the stage for a memorable getaway. Miel and the team at Jinjer Restaurant elevated our visit, creating moments that truly inspired us. The oceanfront location, with breathtaking views of Cadlao Island, felt magical, especially as we witnessed its beauty from sunrise to sunset. The warmth, kindness, and continuous smiles of the staff left a lasting impression and made our stay unforgettable. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to El Nido and look forward to returning to Cadlao Resort and Restaurant.

The WiFi was not dependable and was spotty.

the location away from the busy town was a plus, could easily walk to it or use their free taxi service. Our cottages were small but very comfortable. The view outside our cottages are relaxing and each pod of cottages have a pool. We were in Cadlao 3 but still an easy walk to the restaurant and the main pool with a really awesome view of Cadlao island. I was so very pleasantly surprised and My family couldn't be more pleased with the place.

was looking forward to having pandesal for breakfast every morning but please don't take this away from how we love the place. Also was disappointed that the beach itself is not a swimming beach but was rocky, I'm not blaming this on the property. i could have done better research if that was a deal breaker.

The view of the islands from the hotel. The staff were friendly and accommodating to my family’s needs. The cottages were comfortable with comfortable mattress, toiletries and hair dryer, make up mirror, beach towels were all provided in the room.

The hotel is by the water but there was no beach to lay down. Needed to travel to public beach to enjoy the beach.

the resort is beautiful and staff are very attentive

for those going in december, be aware that it is high tide in the evening and you cannot get out of or back to the hotel after around 7pm. it is extremely dangerous to try and cross the beach to get back to the hotel from town after this time which we weren’t aware of and there is no other way to access the hotel except to wait out the tide until the early hours of the morning.

This is easily the best accommodation in El Nido, it is waterfront (with sea turtles out front in the morning) and has pools with an incredible sunset just look at the photos we took. There is a free Tuk Tuk service to the Main Street which is amazing and convenient and the rooms were so clean and beautiful. The included breakfast is very good and we were big fans of the bar and Pina coladas. The staff are exceptional including Frances, Mary, Miel and the reception girls they helped us with tours, bikes and island recommendations! Best place we’ve ever stayed!

Nothing! The only thing to be aware of is there are no fridges in the room we stayed in but there is cold water stations around the resort.

Beautiful, idillic resort just outside El Nido town. Breakfast and lunch menus and food were all delicious. We stayed in one of the best rooms with a pool view and perfectly framed view of Cadlao Island - amazing. Rooms were very comfortable and well serviced and all staff were friendly. Spa treatments were also wonderful. A free tuk tuk service is offered into town, although this is only a 10 minute walk. The town is vibrant and has so many wonderful bars and restaurants to suit all styles and budgets.

If we were being picky…. There were probably not enough sun loungers around the main pool when the property was at full capacity. Also the room does not have hot water to the bathroom sink and does not have a fridge (although we appreciate that this may be due to the eco credentials).

We had a beautiful pool outside our room. The resort restaurant was nearby and open early for breakfast. The staff was excellent. Very polite and attentive. The resort provided transportation to the town and back, so we went every day. This is a quiet resort with a beautiful view of the bay. The beach is walkable but not swimmable because the bay is shallow and lots of limestone rocks, but the pools were very inviting, so it does not matter.

The resort is not easily accessible so you will need a Tuk Tuk driver to get there but the resort will provide the transportation.

It has a good location if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the el Nido city but still 15 min walking distance. Stunning views. Free drinks and snacks at 5 pm, free tricycle from and to the city.

Beautiful resort! The views of the beach are just incredible whilst you’re lounging by the pool or enjoying breakfast! Location was great as you are away from the hustle and bustle of el Nido that it feels peaceful and relaxing and what you want from a beach resort, but only a short walk into town for food! They also provide a tuktuk service free of charge to take you closer to town! Staff were sooo kind and attentive, the reception staff really went out of their way to ensure our stay was stress free. We had a beautiful massage on the last day which was incredible and so relaxing! Would recommend! Breakfast was good, every day selection of cakes and pancakes, hot fresh breakfast to choose from like eggs/filippino breakfast. The pools were nice and peaceful to sit around! Room was comfy and clean, all we needed. The grounds are just beautiful and would recommend Cadlao to anyone thinking of staying!

Nothing :)

I was worried when we first booked Cadloa since getting there seemed a bit different and off road. Leaving our other hotel in El Nido we were easily able to have Cadloa pick us up at the suggested site and transport us via their own Tuk Tuk 10 min from town. It was flawless! This place is PERFECT. 3 pools, a beautiful restaurant & bar right on the beach front, clean & well taken care of. This vacation spot is perfectly serene & relaxing, also has an amazing/affordable spa which we used both days. The staff is so incredibly helpful & kind we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Our favorite part was the patio that each bungalow came with and the infinity pools. 10/10!

The only downside which wasn’t a big deal was the rooms were kind of small…
