The Vellago resort is a little gem in paradise. We enjoyed every second during our five nights. Already from the beginning, we know it was the right decision. The whole team welcomed us while we approached the resort by boat. The rooms are beautiful decorated and enough space to get some privacy if necessary. The bar and restaurant at the beach have great drinks and special dishes, fresh cooked, even the bread was self made. Every day you have a different menu with local and international dishes. Some day we just relaxed at the resort, some days we made excursions, like the 1 day trip to the island with the speedboat. We have been so impressed about the health of every spot we visited. We got paella for lunch with fresh fruits and drinks. Another day we had a sunset trip to a hidden beach where and got one of the best sunset ever. The whole team is very service oriented and friendly. A big thank to Hirwan. His happy personality and professionalism keeps the whole team together and gave all the guest the feeling to be special and feeling home.

Amazing Stay at Vellago Resort! The entire team were such legends, by the end, we knew everyone’s names. It was like staying with a big happy family. They waved to us as a team when we arrived and when we left! It’s the small things that made it go good - not to mention the big things (the accomodation, food, view, service and the list goes on). Must note: the photos definitely do not do it justice. Vellago Resort truly blew us away! Having traveled around the Philippines, I can honestly say this place is a must-visit. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—Dean and Aiza at the front office were incredibly helpful, and James, Bong, and Kath served up some fantastic drinks at the bar whilst always maintaining the amazing presentation of whatever was ordered. Hats off to Chef Peter and Deth - every meal was spot on. We were super impressed with not only the quality of the cooking but also the produce. A huge shout out to Herwin for taking such amazing care of us and making us laugh constantly. The housekeeping team—Marlon, Rose, and Pheng - kept our room spotless and took whatever opportunity they had when we were not inside to clean everything, change towels, top up water etc. The beach was beautiful and well taken care of by Ronel, Ernie, and Aik, and Captain Jomarmade our island trips super smooth. One last mention to Ryan one of the carpenters that took me for a night dive to collect some fish. Such a great bloke. I couldn’t fault a single thing. Vellago is definitely a place I’ll be recommending and I can’t wait to come back! Thanks again team! Amazing trip

Nothing!! Absolutely amazing!

A little slice of paradise tucked away on a private beach! When we stayed here, we happened to be the only guests, so we had the entire beach to ourselves — it was such a luxurious and unforgettable experience ✨ Getting to the beach where the hotel is located by boat was such an exciting experience! We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, and we never felt the need to go back to town — everything we needed was right here. Snorkeling gear and kayaks were available for free, so we were able to fully enjoy the ocean as well! The room and interior design were absolutely beautiful, and having breakfast on the terrace was such a lovely way to start the day. This hotel is perfect for escaping the crowds and noise of the city and experiencing the true luxury of island life. But above all, what touched us the most was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. They went above and beyond our expectations and arranged everything to make sure our time here was truly special. Salamat🧡 I highly recommend experiencing a stay here for yourself! 何も非の打ちどころがない完璧なステイでした！ エルニド来たなら絶対泊まるべき！！

Nothing

This place is unreal! We stayed in the Deluxe Villa with sea View and it was amazing! On arrival, we were greeted by the staff with a refreshing drink and the best welcome possible. Our room was ready early and they allowed us in. The food was a 5 star resort with a new specials menu every night. Snoring and kayaking was free and we saw so many creatures including a sea turtle! There was little reason to go on the hop on/off boat rides because this resort is based at one of the stop offs (plus the boats are crowded and sweaty!) The owner was great too.... warm and personable and took pride in making this place one of the best. We also had massages on our balcony- they sorted it all. Breakfast was one of the best I've had! On the last night, we had an exclusive area made up just for us with lights and it was so so pretty. Book it! You won't regret it.

Location: absolutely incredible to wake up to that view every morning , I’ll remember it forever . Service : never experienced such an amazing service , the staff are all so attentive , friendly and obliging , big shout to mr Roy , Matt , warren , bong , Tomas (the owner ) simply cannot remember every one else , but all so good . Simply could not do enough for you The decor in the restaurant and rooms is so tasteful too , the lamps , flowers everywhere , all carefully looked after . This small boutique resort is something special . The beach does get busy with day trippers but they really don’t impact on your stay at all . The turn down service was an absolute delight and suprise ! We stayed 3 x nights , wish we had booked another night tbh .

The staff were extremely friendly and professional in every facit beyond imagination. There was an exceptional attentive to detail from the moment of your arrival to the last day of your stay. The resort has a total of 6 rooms with at least a 20 plus full time staff that resides on-site, providing a round the clock service. Matter of fact, they were so concerned because we had an early flight that they made us breakfast doggie bags to take with us on our way to the airport.

Our room was exquisitely maintained throughout our stay. The bedsheets were changed every day, and every time we came back to our room throughout the day, we found it cleaned and reorganized as though no one had been in it. Their on-site restaurant was one of the best restaurants on the island, matter of fact, we never ate at any other restaurant throughout our 8 days of stay, and the in-house Vellago Resort restaurant had a variety of menu options to choose from. Every night, there was a new menu, and the romantic dinner was nothing short of a fairytale moment. It was so impressive that my spouse was flabbergasted and couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the night.

My stay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and ensure my comfort. The rooms were impeccably clean, stylishly decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed. The hotel's location was perfect and the views were to die for i would definitely be back to enjoy the experience. We spent my friends birthday during our stay and they offered a free decoration by the beach for us during sunset and it was perfect. I especially enjoyed the room services, food and drinks, the staff was exceptional and welcoming I’d definitely be back the best welcoming experience I’ve had . If you are looking to escape to the mountains this is the perfect location for you. I highly recommend vellago resort to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

Staying in Vellago was a dream! A short boat ride from town, beachfront. We staying in Honeymoon suite and deluxe king room and they were pretty similar for the most part but Honeymoon suite had better bathroom and bedding. Views and breakfast were amazing for both. FYI: this us a relax hotel… if you need to go to town it’s about 25 USD roundtrip. We did a private full day tour in their speedboat and it was amazing!!! Amazing lunch, guide and worth the $$ for the boat in comparison to group tours or even private standard boat from town.

The boat transfers were pricey. So plan your stay wisely.

Boutique hotel, with only a limited amount of rooms, means the staff get to know you and by the end you feel like family. They greeted us upon our arrival, gave us shell necklaces and washed the sand off our feet. The room was exquisite with so many nice little bits of attention to detail in the interior design. If you like Asthetics, this is the location for you. The food was excellent and having breakfast served on the balcony each morning with a good selection to pick from from the menu will be truly missed and hard to find elsewhere being able to have that view when you wake up and whilst you eat and being able to hear the break of the waves from your own pillow, even with the doors, a window shut is priceless. Daisy, Herwin, and the captain, we were particularly fond of and would be the reason we would come back again. This property is for couples and lovebirds, as we were known to the staff. If you are seeking privacy and a retreat from crowds, this is the place for you.

It’s hard to find anything I didn’t like about the property. The internet speed is not great, however this is due to a cellular only connection as no phone line or broadband connection. Please note - although on the map it looks like it’s possible to to travel by road from the resort to el Nido town or corong corong, the resort is ONLY accessible via private speedboat which is 800 php each way, and curfews apply by 17:30, so you have to factor that cost and limitation into your stay. By Philippines standard, the resort is expensive but my fiancée, a Filipina, and me both agree, that you are paying extra for the location, the privacy and the unrivalled hospitality.

This was the biggest surprise and the best resort I had ever stayed in my life. I choose a little higher in price as for my last day trip to Philippines and I can not describe in words what I felt as soon as I reached the property. Everyone was by the beach waiting for me as if I was family and all the service going on during my stay was exceptional. No words to describe the feeling! I can write a lot about the beauty of the place, the clear crystal water of the sea and everything else, but no words will define the proper beauty of it. For me it felt like my home away from home, like I belonged to that place, and it is all because of the staff, Herwin or Gigi as I prefer better and everyone else, I am very happy I choose to end my celebration of my birthday at your place, I loved every second, I still feel like I can cry from the emotions. Everyone should experience such a great place, spoil yourself, it is worth any penny. I hope I can see sometime soon all of you. Thank you for making my stay the best part of my travel!
