The place is new, it is just few steps away from the longest beach in the Philippines! The room is cozy and bed is comfortable. Their food menu is also very delicious! All their staff are very helpful, accommodating and friendly. They helped us with our last minute tour, transportation and other requests! We will definitely come back here! Thank you Tabularasa for our wonderful stay!

If you’re looking for a unique, comfortable and unforgettable hotel experience in El Nido - Look no further! The villas are modern, clean and beautifully designed with the highest attention to detail. In Southeast Asia, it’s quite uncommon to get actual blankets, usually they resemble the comfort of a thin paper. Thanks to Alon I could finally snuggle into a blanket again and slept like a baby. You can feel the love that went into this place in every corner. The deck with a huge bamboo table hugging a tree is the heart of the hotel. There, you can enjoy breakfast (which is freshly prepared and oh so delicious!), cozy book reading sessions or, thanks to starlink WiFi, even work from your laptop. The location is very secluded, giving space to disconnect and enjoy nature, surrounded by many plants and rice fields, as well as a clear sky full of stars at night. A scooter can be rented on request and I would advise to do so to get around easily. One of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines and probably THE most beautiful beach in El Nido, Nacpan beach, is only a 10 min ride away. What we loved most about our stay at Alon are the hosts Carl & PY. Their hospitality is outstanding and needs to be mentioned in this review! These two are so welcoming, comforting and attentive and were the cherry on top of our amazing stay. If I could give 11 stars I would.

Super friendly staff, manager in particular was so helpful!! From the time of booking until after I left. Food was really good. I hired a scooter from them, they listened to what I wanted to do and made really good suggestions and organised an awesome guide rather than having to do the ‘normal’ touristy things in Sabang. Swimming pool and views are amazing. The rooms are small, but they are comfy, clean and private. They have lovely views. Really good value accommodation.

My stay at Amari was absolutely AMAZING! Although the hotel wasn’t fully open and some amenities were still unavailable, I still had a fantastic time. The location is perfect for anyone going on tours, as it’s quite close to the beach. The service is top-notch, and the infinity pool is simply beautiful. Everyone was incredibly kind and always willing to help, and the rooms were fully equipped and very comfortable. They also offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, which is a great bonus. I believe that once the hotel is fully open, it will be a truly magnificent place, and I hope I get the chance to visit again :)

First of all, the position of the hotel was 30sec by El Nido port where most of the island hopping start, so it was very comfortable. The hotel is very new and the room are very clean with good utensils such as Dyson and smeg. But what made this stay amazing was the quality of the staff service!!! Everyone was so helpful, mindful, always available to our needs and suggestions. Big shot out to Rojie that was one of the most amazing person you can meet in a Hotel. We wish her the best.

Our stay in Paruparong Bughaw is very memorable. We were treated like royalties the moment we were picked up at the airport. The place is a paradise within a paradise. The food is mouthwatering, organic and well thought of. The room is spic and span. The staff are courteous, efficient and friendly. Our activities are well planned. The hosts Michelle and Stephan are very hands on, they made sure that we are comfortable and well cared for. I love all the food meticulously prepared by Michelle. The crepe, paella and lechon is to die for. The lemongrass tea is our favorite too. The place is a good venue for weddings, corporate events or simply just for family and friends' bonding. If you are a solo traveller, this ecofarm resort is the right place for you to recharge and simply relax. Overall I will give this resort a 10/10. Thank you so much to Michelle and Stepahn for the warm welcome and for treating us like family.

It’s way better than it looks on pictures, for real. We had the best time of our lives so far I think. Surrounded by the nature with an incredible staff. They been superstars! Very professional and kind. The room was extremely clean and spacious, with everything you ever needed. One feedback wouldn’t be enough to describe the vibes of this place, we are just too grateful to had the chance of staying in this slice of paradise. For sure I hope to came back soon. The food wasn’t bad, I would avoid pasta cause it was tasteless, but for the rest is really not too bad. I would prefer a la carte menu also for the night tho. Breakfast was great, such a lot of choices and super tasty food!

The wow factor was definitely at Twin Lagoons and Kayangan Lake. Loved swimming and snorkelling although coming from Australia, the corals and fish were a bit underwhelming. Plenty of cafes and restaurants in Coron Town. We especially liked the french restaurant Armihan Bistro, Poco Deli (next door to Epic Cafe) and Le Voyage. All catered for Gluten Free meals as well. Tuk Tuks are plentiful and easy to catch. 50 pesos for 2 peoples to take you anywhere within the town boundaries. We also walked to the hilltop lookout Mt Tapayas .. but beware, there's 720 steps to climb to get to the top from the car park!!!

Absolutely!

Absolutely! San Vicente really flies under the radar compared to El Nido and Coron, but that’s part of its charm. It’s less crowded, more laid-back, and still boasts those stunning, unspoiled beaches—especially the 14-kilometer Long Beach, which feels like a hidden gem. The slower pace and warm, genuine hospitality from the locals really give it that authentic "island life" vibe. It’s perfect for people looking to relax, connect with nature, and avoid the more tourist-heavy scenes. Some even say it’s what El Nido felt like 10 or 15 years ago.

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit,...

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping. If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home. Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February. To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

A delightful quiet backwater and so far less developed town. The beaches were beautiful and mostly clean. The town has plenty of activities to offer and places to eat. The whole place is walkable but you may want a Tuktuk or moped to visit further beaches.

If you intend to visit Palawan you need to be more informed than I was. The Philippines are a poor country. Accommodation is cheap and as such you get what you paid for - No hot water, some cockroaches, you cannot swim in the water because of the jellyfish, plenty of sandflies and no shop to get any relief medication. There is no way to move around unless you organize transfers that cost you as much as your accommodation. A must see if you would like to see the culture. We were unable to snorkel due to weather

El Nido has so many fun things to do, and we liked that while there were a plentitude of tourist options, we were not separated from local culture and activities that sometimes happens in other places. We were only there for four days, and we could have stayed another week. The beaches are beyond stunning, both the ones you can walk to and the ones that need a boat. The snorkeling was fantastic, the food options endless, and the vibe was chill and fun.

The calamian group of islands of which Coron is part of, is beautiful. And I hope all the measures to keep it pristine and unlittered will be successful always. There are many breathtaking sights. You would need a sizable budget though to be able to enjoy the boat tours which are wonderful. If you have the time, visit Culion. It is historical (a UNESCO site), and while the places to see could do a little tidying up, nevertheless, the history of that place invites reflection and inspires--many heroic people lived on that island. Kudos to the religious who have kept the place going since it was first established. The Culion museum should be your first stop.
