Allereerst alle medewerkers, wát een geweldige crew. Zeer oplettend, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Zij maken gastvrijheid en service voor alle klanten helemaal waar. Goede ligging van het resort. Dichtbij de gezellige straatjes (ongeveer 800 meter lopen óf de gratis tuktuk die je tot zo’n 600 meter brengt). Daarna klein stukje over het strand.

    “Struttura molto curata e pulita, situata in un contesto meraviglioso e con uno staff accogliente e disponibile. Tutti i servizi sono ottimi, dalla colazione, alla SPA, alle piscine ed infine il transfer in tuk-tuk da e per TownSquare (distante pochi minuti dal resort), presente tutti i giorni e a tutte le ore. Consigliamo di provare il Jinjer Restaurant, i piatti sono deliziosi e curati nel dettaglio. Complessivamente esperienza molto positiva.”

    “Although the location was further away from the beach and the road was a bit bumpy, the Resort provided reliable transport to and from the start of the of the beach. The food was delicious, breakfast, lunch and dinner so much that we only ate out once. The staff were extremely helpful friendly and if we come to El Nido again, we will definitely stay at Cadlao.”

    “The staff are very kind and helpful. The resort is well maintained and clean, there are 3 pools that are clean and have a great view. Our room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is located 5 mins off the main street, but the resort has a 24/7 shuttle service that brings you close by. We didn’t eat at the resort, there are a few close restaurants which are fine. There is also a close by laundry service.”

  • The staff was excellent. The receptionist was extraordinary! She was so friendly kind and caring and me our every need.

    “Ho soggiornato nel cottage vista mare, sono molto spaziosi e dotati di ogni confort. Il ristorante e' molto curato e la cucina di buon livello. Dal bar e dalla piscina a sfioro ogni sera si poteva ammirare un tramono spettacolare. tutto lo staff e' molto gentile e attento. Ci siamo avvalsi sia del centro massaggi che dei tour organizzati ed il giudizio e' positivo. Dal resort al centro di El Nido ci vogliono 10 minuti a piedi ma alla sera abbiamo usufruito della comoda navetta gratuita. I cottage sono immersi in uno splendido giardino tropicale che unito alle 3 piscine e all'affaccio diretto sul mare rendono l'atmosfera magica.”

    “Wauw, geen woorden voor deze locatie. De reis ernaartoe, opgehaald worden met de tuktuk is al een hele beleving. Deze staat 24u per dag klaar voor de gasten. Geef het aan bij de receptie en binnen no time staat er een driver. Het uitzicht vanaf het resort is werkelijk fenomenaal! In de ochtend zijn er zeeschilpadden te zien, dus houd je ogen open bij het ontbijt. Bij aankomst kregen wij van miss Girlie een zeer uitgebreide uitleg én een welkomstdrankje, heerlijk! Onze koffers werden naar de kamer gedragen (niet gerold, nee gedragen!) en de kamer was prachtig. Echt schoon, ruim genoeg en een hele fijne airco en ventilator. Het restaurant heeft een geweldige kaart en het ontbijt, in een woord fantastisch! Elke ochtend weer andere dingen om te proberen en het personeel verteld je heel graag wat de gerechten zijn. Ze onthouden allergieën en zijn ontzettend vriendelijk, meedenkend en geïnteresseerd. Het personeel staat voor elke vraag klaar en de receptie heeft zelf de basismedicijnen op voorraad en kan adviseren voor bijvoorbeeld trips. De schoonmaak gebeurd ook zeer uitgebreid. Bij het uitchecken is er een ruimte beschikbaar met airco en badkamer waar je kunt wachten tot je vlucht gaat. Ook de Cadlao Boutique is zeker een bezoekje waard! Voor het transfer naar en van het hotel kun je gewoon mailen. Jubert had dit allemaal super geregeld! Francis, Diana, Kamille, Chiara en alle anderen, jullie hebben ons verblijf echt tot een droom gemaakt. Het was een eer jullie te ontmoeten. Cadlao, ga zo door! Wij komen zeker weer terug!”
