From the moment we arrived at Pangulasian Resort in El Nido, we were blown away—not just by the stunning natural beauty, but by the warmth and attentiveness of the staff. The hospitality here is truly next level. Everyone, from the front desk to the buggy drivers, waiters, exploration guides, and even the managers, made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely relaxed. We did two of the resort’s signature tours: “Seaside Exploration” (kayaking in Big Lagoon and snorkeling at Entalula) and “The Caves & Snake Island”, where we snorkeled, explored sandbars, and discovered remote islands. Both tours were amazing—crystal clear water, colorful coral, tons of fish and clams, and just an all-around good vibe. Special shoutout to our exploration guide, Jimboy, who made every activity even more fun. He was incredibly kind, funny, attentive, and always made sure we were safe and having the best time. He seriously elevated the whole experience. Also, Kim, our boat driver, was excellent—smooth and steady all the way. We also tried eFoiling and pedalboarding, which were unique and fun ways to enjoy the calm waters of the island. Again, Jimboy was right there making sure everything was smooth and memorable. Another highlight was the nature hike. Our guide Renel was so thoughtful and friendly, making sure we were comfortable and safe. The hike led to a breathtaking view overlooking the sea and neighboring islands. We even saw monkeys! Walking sticks were provided and everything was well-prepared. The food? Delicious. The views? Unbeatable. The resort? Top-notch. But what truly sets Pangulasian apart is the people. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made this one of the best trips we’ve ever had. We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and a strong desire to return. If you’re thinking about going—do it. You’ll be in paradise, taken care of by some of the best people you’ll ever meet.

Stayed here for our honeymoon and the experience was 10/10! We stayed at the beach Villa and had amazing views of the sunset along so the our private beach chairs and hammock. The accommodations were spacious. The food was amazing as well and did not disappoint, my husband and I had the heritage breakfast every morning. We joined the complementary activities as well and enjoyed the lagoons and snorkelling. Staff was great and attentive too. My husband and I plan on staying here again in the future

This is a very peaceful place under top end management in a very private setting. The food is spectacular, and the activities are set up perfectly. The gym is adequate and the spa service is exactly as you would want it to be. I cannot recommend this place enough. The pool is a salt water pool and very refreshing and relaxing. The room service works very well and the cleaning staff is very attentive and heartfelt. Snorkeling here is too notch right off of your beach side villa. There are also opportunities for kayaking in the nearby lagoons. I recommend this idea highly. Anton in particular is a very able and knowledgeable guide. The people here are very happy, guests, staff and management alike. Well worth a 5 star review.

10/10 experience. The staff is incredible, and made all the complimentary activities amazing. The location is fantastic because you are close to all other islands and attractions, but quiet and secluded from others. I stayed for my honeymoon and had the best time. Best place to stay in El Nido!

Spectacular service and hotel. We stayed in the canopy villas which were so spacious and you feel you’re in the jungle. This is such a luxurious getaway with the added plus of offering tons of complimentary activities. We picked it for our honeymoon and couldn’t be happier with this choice. The food and the staff are fantastic! We did two lovely spa treatments with amazing staff as well and tons of complimentary activities. The hotel does offer a plethora of options for added luxury.
