I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cadlao, the staff were so friendly and everyone looked after me and made me feel very welcome. They assisted with carrying my luggage and booking an airport driver, and they were very responsive on WhatsApp which made me feel safe in case I was out and about and needed assistance. There is also a tuk-tuk that takes you from the hotel into town and back which was great! It was quiet and peaceful at Cadlao and the beds were really comfortable, and the shower water was always warm. The only thing I would have enjoyed that the room didn’t include was a mini fridge to keep my food and drinks refrigerated. The complimentary tea-time and cake at 4pm and then happy hour at 5-6pm was lovely as well. I would love to come stay here in the future!

Wonderful stay! Peaceful and serene. Away from busy town center. Three pools and SPA were nice to enjoy. Best of all was the views and the restaurant. Buffet breakfast and ala carte ordering were complimentary and provided an excellent choice of local foods and western dishes. Fresh healthy shots, juices and shakes were super delicious. Staff were friendly and made our room each day. Across the street was the tour company recommended and tour A with Albert was excellent!!! Town center was a complimentary tuk tuk ride away. Hotel transport to and from airport is available for a small charge. We beach hopped around the island by tuk tuk. Overall a wonderful stay and highly recommend! Thank you for an excellent, relaxing stay.

Lovely resort. Great service. Amazing views

A beautiful well taken care off small resort just outside nido town. We had a fantastic stay in a calm and relaxing setting. Stand outs were the staff. The free tuk tuk service was very reliable (it's also a nice 15 mins walk on the beach into town (at lower tide). Happy hour with beautiful sunset views, great food at th restaurant, fantastic massages at the spa. Wifi worked well and rooms while not very large were well designed. Only small niggle - there was no conditioner provided. We would come back and highly recommend the place!

Our Favorite Hotel in the Philippines!

We’ve been traveling across the Philippines for 10 days (Manila, Boracay, Coron, and El Nido), and out of all our destinations, this hotel in El Nido was by far our favorite. It truly gives “White Lotus” energy—peaceful, luxurious, and effortlessly stunning. Honestly, we expected this hotel to be the most underwhelming stay of our trip, but it ended up completely exceeding our expectations. It was a dream from start to finish. If you’re looking for a quiet, elevated, and truly special experience, this is the place. We stayed in a Pool Cottage Room, and it was worth every penny—private, serene, and beautifully designed. Also, Jinjer (restaurant on the resort) is the best food we’ve eaten in the Philippines. The entire experience is amazing. And the breakfast….AMAZING. Also to mention, my partner and I felt extremely welcomed and so safe in this resort, especially being a gay couple. We’ve already decided to make this hotel our annual vacation spot and are counting down the days until our return in April 2026!

I recently spent 10 days in Cadlao resort. This is a top notch resort and everything was just perfect. It is well worth the cost. The rooms are spotless. I witnessed the cleaning of the rooms when guest changes took place. They are meticulous and even wipe down the fans and walls. Our daily cleaning was excellent and it was so nice to come back to a spotless and nice smelling room after our days of excursions. The staff are so helpful and go out of their way to make all the guests feel welcome. The food at the resort was very good. From the lavish (included) breakfast to the Al La Carte menu. We were not disappointed by even a single dish. Finally the location, the ambiance, the landscaping, all perfect for a romantic getaway. Don’t hesitate to book

Beautiful beachfront hotel with a restaurant, spa, and 3 pools. Included breakfast is a buffet and hot made to order food which was delcious. Parts of the buffet changed daily which was nice since we had a longer stay. They also include a free tuktuk ride to downtown which is where tours usually start. They also have a black cat named Ursula they have adopted onto the property who is very friendly. There was also a beautiful and friendly orange and white stray cat that visited me everyday i was there and sometimes slept on my porch. Hopefully he stays around and they will take care of him like they take good care of Ursula

Lovely resort with the kindest staff. The resort has 3 general areas, each with its own pool. The restaurant, Jinjer, is a standout and served some of the best Filipino food I’ve ever had - and I’m Filipino! It is elevated Filipino food that is really great. Loved the spa too. And the free tuk tuks to town were a great touch. Highly recommend
