This is a beautiful place within 10-15 mins boat ride from the lagoons. The accommodation is spacious and tastefully decorated. The only complaint was a bit of rain coming through the roof at times of heavy rain. Staff cannot be more accommodating, friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome and right at home. They offer quite a few inclusive excursions to nearby attractions, which is very nice. Food in the restaurant is a bit dear for the Philippines but the taste and quality is excellent. Ideal stay for 3-5 days to explore the beautiful nature around El Nido.

“Top notch!! Wonderful facilities with attentive staff, great food & dining. Location is close to best sights and gives you an early jump before hordes of tourists show up each day. Bit more expensive than other resorts but we definitely feel it is worth it. Hollywood also agrees as they were there filming an upcoming movie release but didn’t inconvenience us at all. ”

“Our stay at Pangulasian was fantastic. The staff were really attentive, helpful and went above and beyond. From willingness to change the food menu, having a super late spa experience so we could fit it in to seeing someone struggling with snorkelling on an excursion and providing assistance so they could see all a turtle.
The private island experience was amazinG, I couldn’t recommend it more!”

“Beautiful resort in perfect location for seeing el Nido.
Comfortable beach bungalow with amazing views. Comfortable beds and soft bedding. Always lots of water and a few nice freebies in your room. Incredibly clean and wel
Maintained throughout the resort with excellent turn down.
Food is excellent with a La carte or buffet options at all meals. We tended to go for a la carte as if honest the buffet food was often like warm if not cold which could be improved. They alternated dinner to the pool area which was a lovely environment however this meant from 2pm onwards staff are prepping for dinner so access to pool loungers becomes limited and you feel very on show / getting in the way which was the only downside we get
Of the resort.
The included trips were safe, well organised and planned to get you there ahead of the max crowds which was special.
The trip to big lagoon and especially Italy
Miniloc reef is second to none - and a visit you can only do if staying at an El Nido resort.
Pre arrival
Communication from head office was poor but don't be concerned about your transfer as the resort really are on top of it. Plan to get a little wet from sea spray and wear sunscreen as the boat transfers are in small speedboats as the resort has no major jetty.
Friendly staff who seemed very genuine and also a very present manager is always nice to see.
If you want peace and tranquility in a very special place would not hesitate to recommend.

“Beautiful location with good room stock however terrible execution on the hotel management side. This isn’t a cheap hotel so the expectation here on guest experience is understandably high, with that said by fixing a few things this hotel could be great.
Firstly, the food was of a really low standard, with cheap buffet style offer and cheap buffet taste, this really needs to be fixed.
Secondly the hotel will really benefit from a proper guest experience manager. To put this into context, we had thought we had organised a private 4 hour boat trip with 48 hours prior notice and had humbly asked the activities attendant to prepare an itinerary for the tour. Unfortunately in the evening prior to the tour (9pm), the activities manager interrupted us at dinner to tell us the boat was not available for a 4 hour tour and also wanted us to give him our proposed itinerary for the tour (ie he was too lazy to put one together himself / forgot).
On the plus side, the hotel offers a few tour options included in the price and Ryan our tour guide was top tier. Staying at the hotel also has some benefits with priority luggage and lounge at the airport, but needless to say, the chance of us staying at Pangulasian island again is very very slim.”

“The staff was incredible. I have celiac disease which is not easy to accommodate but chef Stanley came to ask me what I wanted at every meal and then made me gluten free safe food so I never got sick and ate well. All guides especially Anton who I interacted with a lot were so attentive to needs and were proactive in pointing out wildlife and sharing facts as well as bringing all the supplies you needed for the day. I can’t say enough good things about Anton. The guides also paddled the tandem kayak for me twice while I just sat - it was ideal! They took pictures and were so professional and kind. Another guide Ryan aLeo assisted with the kids in our group. Beyond the people, the actual island and surrounding area were beautiful. It felt like a movie it was so unreal. We did the complimentary (other than $200 php lagoon fee) resort organized private tours each day and it was a short boat ride to each. This was the most incredible and relaxing trip. I hope to be back.
There was an issue at the end with our Airswift flight off el Nido back to Manila getting cancelled because the small propeller planes don’t have modern technology and can’t fly through haze, which was stressful to be stuck and unable to get back to the resort at night after the cancellation, so just beware of Airswift limitations as a small airline and try to have a day buffer in case you get trapped on the island like we did, even though they say that’s a rare occurrence. ”

“Best service. The snorkeling is fantastic. Don't go here if you want to party. Do go here if you love nature, want to relax and see marine life and local lizards and monkeys. Tour A and B are a must, highly recommended do at least one of them. It was a very peaceful week. The food was unreal.”
