Great resort - the convenience of the restaurant, free rides into town, and the waiting room was helpful. If you are looking for comfort just a few minutes outside the busy el nido town center, this is worth it.

This was my favorite property in my entire 2 week Philippines trip! The staff were the nicest people I’ve ever encountered at a hotel. They were always polite, helpful, and personable. The location has the most amazing sunset view right from one of the pools or restaurant. It was such a great experience on our first night. The rooms are clean and well kept up. The food at the restaurants was so delicious as well. I think we tried pretty much everything on the menu. The resort is a short drive from the town but it is walkable if you wanted to. The resort offers a free shuttle at any time to and from the town. And they will arrange transfers to and from the airport as well. I have nothing at all negative to say about this place. I wish I could have stayed there much longer!

We were very happy with our stay at Cadlao. It's a small hotel but is has all you need. Good massage. Lovely pools. Great restaurant. It is quiet but walking distance to el nido town for activities. We highly recommend the sea view room if available.

Hébergement très agréable, bien placé en dehors du tumulte de la ville de el nido. Restaurant et petit déjeuner très bon, service de tuk tuk jusqu’au centre ville très apprécié. Dommage que la très mauvaise wifi et la faible pression d’eau viennent entâcher la note globale

After staying at a busier part of El Nido, it was a welcome contrast to be at this hotel. Appreciated the hotel tricycle pickup to and from town. The front desk was really nice and helpful. Loved the welcome drinks and happy hour drinks. We mostly loved lounging by the pool because of the awesome views and restaurant near the pool. The food at the restaurant was great, we also enjoyed breakfast. Was able to easily book tour A across the street per front desk recommendation and convenient transport back to/from town where tour meeting spot was. The tour was great btw. Hotel lent us towels to take. Then we happened to be there Valentines Day, and my daughter’s boyfriend in the U.S. was able to surprise her with flowers with the help of the front desk. That was definitely a touching memorable gesture and we really appreciated the staff working with him through WhatsApp and the time difference. Then after our check out, they had a dedicated air-conditioned reception room where we could shower or hangout before we had to catch our flight in the afternoon.

Beautiful hotel, food is amazing, views epic. Only negative is Lawin room, a beach front cottage backs on to a very noisy bar, the music should stop at 10pm, it didn’t one night and the hotel did respond and speak to the bar and they provide earplugs. But whilst having evening showers you do feel like you are at a youth hostel disco! With the base coming into the room. I would definitely stay at this hotel again but ask not to be near the bar.

Excellent resort. Beautiful surroundings and views, spotless and comfortable rooms, wonderful accommodating staff. Food was good in the restaurant and the servers are great! LOVED this place - pool was awesome. Great place to rest and relax. The location is great too, if you want to be a bit out of the main hub of town but close enough to walk there for shopping and eating.
