I recently had the most incredible experience for a dream proposal night! The sea view was absolutely perfect, and the beautiful tent added a magical touch to the evening. The setup was flawless, creating a romantic atmosphere that was just right for the occasion. The main course was delicious, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to our server, Lee Ann, who was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better night. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion! PS. DOGS ON THE BEACH ARE CUTE AND FRIENDLY!!!
The service is excellent and attendants are friendly. Food is delicious, especially the pizza here. Hearing the sound of waves is so relaxing. The most important thing of my trip is to propose to my girlfriend, and she said yes!!! The private dinner is really romantic. Highly recommended.
Restaurant Review: A Must-Visit Beachfront Dining Experience in the Philippines If you’re searching for a beachfront restaurant in the Philippines that delivers exceptional food, attentive staff, and a vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere, look no further. This hidden gem offers a dining experience that is nothing short of spectacular. Situated right by the shore, the restaurant boasts both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing you to choose between the cozy ambiance of the interior or the serene beauty of the beach. Dining outside under the stars, with the sound of waves gently lapping the shore, is an experience like no other. The menu is a culinary masterpiece, featuring the best of Filipino flavors alongside creative modern dishes. Each plate is thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the freshest ingredients. From the sumptuous seafood platters to the tender grilled meats and delectable desserts, every bite feels like a celebration of flavor. The staff are phenomenal—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. They go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels special, making the service here one of the highlights of the experience. For those looking to elevate their evening, the restaurant offers private dinner setups that are nothing short of regal. Imagine dining in a secluded area with a personalized menu, luxurious décor, and the ambiance tailored to make you feel like royalty. Whether it’s a romantic evening or a celebration with loved ones, this exclusive option is the perfect touch. This beachfront haven is more than just a place to eat; it’s a destination for unforgettable moments. With its perfect mix of stunning location, outstanding cuisine, and impeccable service, it’s a must-visit for anyone in the Philippines. Treat yourself—you deserve it!
I have to edit my review since I wrote it only an hour after arriving at the resort. While I already loved it then, I didn’t have much to say. Now, after checking out, I can't say enough great things about Sunmai Beach Bar and Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service was nothing short of exceptional. The entire restaurant staff went above and beyond to make every meal during our 4-night stay unforgettable. Special shoutout to Lee Ann, Debbie, Riza, and Jacquie—each of them was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. They made us feel like family and ensured we had everything we needed. They offer a breakfast buffet with a large selection of breakfast meats, fruits, vegetables, fresh juices, breads, and more. But if you love Filipino breakfast, do not skip their à la carte menu. The chicken tocino and fried bangus were absolutely amazing. My Mexican husband is a huge fan of tocino, so we’ve tried countless pork and chicken tocino dishes over the years, and their version absolutely blows all the others away. Their lunch and dinner offerings were also impressive, with both Filipino and Western dishes that exceeded expectations. I was surprised, as beachfront restaurants usually make you pay for the view rather than the quality of the food. Their pizzas, in particular, were outstanding—authentic Neapolitan-style with perfect flavors and textures. I never thought a small beach restaurant in a remote town in the Philippines could serve such high-quality pizza! Everything was cooked to perfection, the flavors were authentic, and the portions were generous. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting! The prices are resort-level but very reasonable, even cheaper than at other resorts. Over at the pool bar, Steven and Jandie were the stars of the show. Their drinks were phenomenal (and strong!), crafted with care, and always served with a smile. Their hospitality really stood out—they made sure we were well taken care of and added to the relaxing poolside vibe. Steven even went above and beyond by helping other guests unfamiliar with the area after hours. They also have BOGO cocktails during happy hour from 3 PM–6 PM, which is a fantastic deal! Nothing beats Filipino hospitality, and I can't stress this enough—the staff truly make this place. They are all so kind, genuine, and welcoming, making you feel like family. Whether you're looking for delicious food or great cocktails by the water, this place has it all. I hope to come back one day. If you’re visiting Nacpan or El Nido in general, you absolutely have to stop by!
Live music at night with great artists. Large portions and delicious food. Staff are outstanding and attentive. Restaurant is on a temporary location due to construction but it worked out. Love their breakfast buffets. Hotel guests can have free breakfast from 8am - 10am, only dish on the breakfast menu can be ordered. Wine and other alcoholic beverage is separate. I had to arrange a surprise romantic birthday dinner for my husband and the staff did an amazing job (P7,500 extra) only cons is the stray dogs begging for food everytime we eat here.
