Hotel Dekat Cadlao Lagoon

"This place is amazing. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. The whole experience was exceptional. Would definitely recommend and stay again."

"The bedside lamp doubles as a phone charger and has a switch so you don’t have to get up to turn it off. Small thing, but I loved it and slept better than I have in a long time. The sea view room faces Bacuit Bay. It’s close to the port, so it’s a sea view but not quite a beach view. The hotel can arrange motorbike rentals and island hopping tours, though there’s no breakfast included. All things considered, Z Garden was the most comfortable place we stayed during our entire El Nido trip."

""My daughter walked in, went straight to the window, and just stood there. I gave her about thirty seconds before I joined her. El Nido Bay, right there, limestone cliffs in the distance, boats moving across the water. Neither of us said anything for a bit. The location is the thing. Seventy metres to the beach. Five minutes to the tour loading point. Restaurants and shops literally downstairs. After a full day on the water, walking back to your room in five minutes without needing a tuk-tuk is...

""Honestly, as someone who treats eating like a religion, my biggest fear coming to El Nido was checking into a place that slaps “vegan” on the menu and serves you a sad plate of lettuce with nothing to say for itself. H Hotel is not that place. The chickpea omelette eats more like a French crêpe, slightly bitter at the finish, but in an interesting way. I went back for more that evening. Breakfast has real variety too. Over three days I had something different each time: pancakes, the chickpea...

"Only a 3-minute walk to Lio Beach. It’s much quieter and cleaner than the town beach."

""It was our first time travelling abroad on our own, and we picked the bunk bed room. I told my friend if we wake up wrecked we’ll switch rooms. We never switched. The beds are genuinely comfortable. I had the top bunk, Chloe had the bottom, and neither of us wanted to get up the next morning. That’s how I judge a bed. The sheets had that clean laundry smell, not perfumed, just fresh. AC was strong, which matters a lot in El Nido. One thing worth knowing: the room has no windows, so during the...

"Cannot complain at all with the cheerful staff, and the great location. Bravo. The only gripe would be that we found better food alternatives nearby, which was a pity - if the owners could look around a little and improve their offering they would get my 5 stars"

"Enjoyed our stay."

"Amazing place to stay with great view! The food was delicious and service impeccable. Best part was the top notch food presentation. You could tell the person who made it loves their job. Only thing I could suggest to improve would be lighting in the room. At night, even with all the lights on, was not enough while packing my luggage."

"Absolutely stunning and luxurious resort! The staff and service were fantastic from the moment we were picked up from our previous hotel and housekeeping tended to the room twice daily. The island is beautiful - we felt completely relaxed in this slice of paradise!"

"This is your best bet in El Nido. The hotel amenities , restaurant and bar are on point . All the staff are super knowledgeable and attentive. Best service I have received at any hotel on my trip to the philippines."

"Pros: Staff is very friendly and attentive, clean room, and close to many restaurants, bars, and ferry. Complementary massage was great. Cons: No daily room service/cleaning, I am not sure if I was supposed to ask for that, but didn’t bother me either. "

"The most kind staff we’ve ever encountered. The hospitality really shined here. When we arrived, they greeted us with warm smiles. We stayed for 6 nights and the staff made our engagement celebration a wonderful experience. They make sure you’re comfortable and are quick to correct any issues you may encounter. The staff helped with booking our tours, recommended where to visit, booked private transport, and guided us to best experience El Nido! Truly outstanding service!"

"The staff were very helpful. Anything we asked was not too much for them. Now the breakfast was to another level because of our diet we are restricted with options but the chef was fantastic and he made brilliant breakfast to our needs. We enjoyed our stay very much."

"Staff was great shout out to Rey"

"Love the service and the staff"

"Good AC and bathrooms. Very good cleaning service. They have tuktuk but you have to pay as it is not included in the stay."

"First class food and ambience. Deserves its top 10 rating. Absolute beachfront - at high tide you can sit at the front of the restaurant with your toes in the water."

"Resort is a steep 400m up a hill to reception and a further distance uphill to some of the villas. We were lucky to stay in Studio 2. Our room was beautiful and not many steps to the restaurant or pool. Staff were very nice and accommodating and have a free shuttle into and from town. If you don’t have general fitness I recommend you contact the resort when booking accommodation."
