Cauayan Island Resort and Spa Reviews

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!

Paradise! A private island only for the resort. We were in a slightly small lagoon room, there was no place to put our luggage, I recommend taking the room on the sea or sea view. All inclusive the food was excellent!!! Kind staff and the massage is dreamy. The place looks like heaven

I have picked resort for its location and for experience to stay at the beach hut. And it was truly amazing time chilling on your veranda’s comfy chair surrounded by palm trees and the sound of crashing waves. As for the overall experience, the resort is definitely not a 5* star resort. Amenities are pretty basic, over-washed beach towels, cheap cutlery, unexciting breakfast, the core infrastructure a bit rundown down, food is average and overpriced. Staff is friendly and ready to attend to every need of yours, but are the some time not there when you need them. Had stayed at lagoon hut #14 and had a constant traffic of passing stuff or guests. So not so much privacy as you would think. Caution. Only lagoon huts facing the beach (first row) get to use the beach sun loungers. The rest of the guests need ti use swimming pool lounges.

Perfect in every case … Salil and the F&B-Team were amazing. The bungalow was very nice. Sometimes you have the feeling in the Lagoon villas, that people see you. Staff at reception could be more open. No options for late check-out. Sometimes it was completely full at the pool, that there was no space for a sunbath. … I had to rest on my veranda. Overall a little too expensive, but worth a stay.

I love it so much, I will come again! The room environment, facilities and services are very good. There is also a dedicated sunshade pavilion at the door of our room type where we can lie down. There are also many activities provided, such as paddle board, kayak, snorkel (although there is nothing to see), sunset/sunrise hiking, and other diving and tours. You can lie down for a whole day without doing anything. If you are lucky, you can also see small sharks and turtles. And their food is really good, the best hotel meal we have eaten in the Philippines.

The location is like a secret island, and the tranquility and quality of the hotel are outstanding. More than 90% of the customers are Westerners, with a large percentage of Asians. You must be able to listen and speak English to a certain extent. , Communication with staff is difficult. Dinner is expensive. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety and was very satisfying! I'll be back next year!

The environment is very beautiful, the rooms are large, and the facilities are very user-friendly. For example, there is a flushing faucet at the door of the room, so you can rinse the sand off your feet before entering the house. The service is particularly good, every waiter you meet will greet you warmly. Pay attention to needs and provide services at all times while eating. The only downside is that the food in the restaurant is on the salty side. The three dishes I ordered for dinner were all very salty, and all the salty foods at breakfast were also very salty!

It was so good, I used it for my girlfriend's birthday. The service is worth the price. However, even though I had given her name in the email, she combined her name with the name on the reservation, so I gave her a 4 for service. Other than that, it's a great hotel and the staff is very kind and pleasant.

very romantic island

Basking in the serenity of El Nido, Palawan – where time slows, and every moment is a chapter of tranquility. ✨ From the speedboat’s embrace at the SeaPort to the pristine shores of Cauayan Island Resort, each step unfolds a tale of opulence and natural beauty. Lunch on arrival was a culinary masterpiece – a giant prawn dipped in fresh coconut curry, a taste of paradise on my plate. The villa on the water, a sanctuary of dreams, with a King Bed, remote-controlled lights, and the gentle hum of air conditioning, encapsulates luxury at its peak. Outside, a breathtaking panorama of red and yellow plumerias, a cascading waterfall, and the trio of bar, pool, and ivory sands create a canvas painted by nature’s hand.️El Nido Balinsasayaw Birds-swift and dance like flight and crow birds provide a melodic soundtrack, a harmonious accompaniment to the majestic mountains. In this haven, time dances to a purposeful rhythm, and every heartbeat echoes the island’s pulse. Sipping cocktails, gazing at the mountains, and soaking in the tranquility – El Nido, you’ve cast a spell of healing and peace upon my soul. #DecemberToRemember #ElNidoMagic #IslandEscape #cauayanislandresort

We stayed at Cauayan Island Resort for 5 nights and enjoyed every moment. This is truly a special place, the resort is stunning, the staff are extremely helpful, my massage at the spa was wonderful, especially watching the baby sharks swimming underneath and we had a fantastic island hopping tour with amazing tour guides. Would 100% recommend. Thank you for having us!

The art of laid back luxury indeed! One of the most efficient services I've ever had. Kudos to the Cauayan team! From picking up to the airport straight our villas they made it so smooth. Didnt even have to wait at the lobby. A very romantic place to go as well. Good job to Alwin who made it easy for my fiance to sort the dinner proposal. All the crews are friendly and very helpful. Worth every penny 😍🏝 Plus their wifi is good too, no need to go to the reception if you want something, just one msg in whatsapp and they are ready to serve. Good villas too. A very nice island location in El Nido. DKtdy

Here’s our five star to each and everyone I cannot express how breathtaking is this place. Sulil and his entire staff ( Dalica, Elwin, Arwin Nick, Jc and Michelangelo to name a few) are simply wonderful. We had the pleasure to meet the owner who is very down to earth to whom it goes my modest advice to spice up the evening life with some entertainment So unfortunate we had to leave earlier for family reason back home and they were ever so empathic. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special. A place in my heart is reserved for you. Luca and Francesca. Ciao

From booking to final day, the experience has been amazing here. Lala was our booking rep and she helped so much along the way. They always stay in contact with you through the whole process and when you arrive, it is breathtaking. Hotel stay was more than comfortable. Excursions were very fun and personalized. And we were sad to leave on our last day.
