Amazing
KKarimHMy 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!
GGuest UserEverything about this hotel is wonderful, except for the food and its prices. It's a great place far from the noisy city, with spacious bungalows, daily cleaning, a fantastic and clean pool (which is rare!), excellent service, and good massages. The best part of the food was the pizza – it was genuinely tasty. The cocktails were also delicious. Everything else was unappetizing and expensive. The free breakfast was the same every day and quite small; it was okay for women, but far too little for men, who then had to order additional, pricey dishes.
TThat girl abroadI was honestly a bit disappointed with this resort. When you see the word “resort” and pay resort prices, you expect a certain standard. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to that.
The bed only had a thin sheet with no proper bedding, there was no water provided in the room, and parts of the property felt quite run down with visible rust. The bathroom, especially the shower area, could really use a deep clean. Breakfast was okay, nothing special. There were four different WiFi networks, but none of them worked properly and the connection was very slow. The staff did warn me about this in advance.
That being said, the staff were absolutely amazing. Reception went above and beyond by helping with my large bags, doing my laundry, organizing tours and transport, and assisting with everything I needed. Truly a chef’s kiss to the team. They were the highlight of my stay.
With some upgrades and better maintenance, this place could match the price they’re charging. Right now, it’s the staff that make the experience worthwhile.
GGuest UserThe 8-room hotel is located on the main route in El Nido.
The rooms are normal in size, some things require repair, we, for example, the door to the bath opened with great effort and one day the door lock broke.
The air conditioner and fan work well.
Hot water from solar cells, then good, then barely.
Nearby the Italian restaurant, shops, pharmacy, exchanger, direct pass to the beach (the beach itself is not very, either very small, or in the tide of the beach sand strip at all).
There is a kitchen downstairs, but it is for staff, probably we wanted to cook shrimp, we took 100 peso for it. The refrigerator can be used for free.
And the biggest minus: frames in windows are metallic, hearing 100%, windows go out to the chicken! That means you will listen to the singing of the chickens and the quawhtling of the chickens from three in the morning to six in the evening, without stopping. If you have a sensitive sleep, choose another hotel. Without exaggeration, it is simply impossible to sleep normally.
SSophia The ExplorerPros:
-Very accommodating and polite staff
-Clean rooms and common areas
-Convenient paid airport pickup and drop-off (₱1,100 pickup via hotel van, ₱600 drop-off via taxi arranged by the hotel)
-Well-maintained swimming pool (approx. 4 ft deep)
-Lounge sunbeds by the pool overlooking both the pool and the beach
-In-house restaurant and small bar available
-Housekeeping is attentive and regularly checks if cleaning is needed
-Comfortable bed; towels and linens smelled and felt clean
-Beach towels available upon request at reception
-Beach view is nice, though only accessible at high tide (around 6:00 PM)
Cons:
-Very isolated location; nothing to see or do outside the hotel
-Free hotel shuttle to Robinsons Mall is helpful but limited to scheduled times
-Breakfast is not worth purchasing if not included in the room
First two days were buffet-style and okay
Last two days were plated and disappointing (small portions, food served cold, long waiting time)
-Air-conditioning in our room was a bit noisy, which was inconvenient since I was working
-Limited activities within the hotel aside from the pool
-Restaurant food and drinks are quite pricey; we relied on Grab deliveries most of the stay
Suggestions for Improvement:
Keep breakfast buffet-style permanently to improve food quality, temperature, and waiting time
Improve coordination of breakfast orders
Consider adding more in-house activities or more affordable dining options
Final Thoughts:
A clean and comfortable hotel with excellent staff, best for guests who plan to relax within the property. Improvements in breakfast service and minor facility upgrades would greatly enhance the overall experience.
GGuest UserIt is smacked within a residential area. So you can soak yourself in it and experience living in a village. But, a 3 mins walk will lead you to the main road where you can find F&B outlets.
Nearest is 89 Cafe which serves good food. Another 500m there is a Pagetek food court which has food a super chill beer.
At the price, it is a good deal. They also have free transport to airport, but please talk to the friendly staff there in advanced.
OOlga IvanovnaWe booked a standard room, they gave us room 6, but it was very small, without a window and a wardrobe. It was very stuffy and there was an unpleasant smell. The air conditioner was noisy. The floor was very dirty, covered in sand. Since we arrived at night, we spent the night in that room. In the morning we asked to change the room. They showed us the rooms, we chose a room with a balcony, a suite, a sea view, but we had to pay extra. We stayed for 4 days, so we agreed to pay extra. The room was cleaned poorly, only once, although we asked for it to be cleaned. They put water in the room upon arrival, they did not put it anymore, also shampoo, soap, brushes were put only once upon arrival. The towels were not changed even once. Breakfasts from the menu, very meager, the same thing every day. In the dining room there is a cooler with hot and cold water, you can pour tea in the evening. The room service is terrible. The hotel is for a stay of 1, 2 days. But the cost is expensive for such a hotel. I do not recommend it for a long time. The view from the window is beautiful. The port is close.
