Within the heart of El Nido, Palawan You will find CUNA HOTEL. It's beauty and splendor overlook the mesmerizing island and islets of Bacuit Peninsula, branded as a true oasis of peace, enriched by exuberant vegetation and marine life. It is the perfect destination for those who are searching for a taste of adventure, serene and stylish getaway.
Best View and Location
Reviewed By gezginciftcomHotel best parts are location and view. Pool is on the rooftop. Cuna has two different building, the main building has a elevator but another has no!! We booked 12 rooms. Some of the rooms were in second building. So we went up with elevator then had to use steps in second building. If you plan to book Cuna Hotel be careful for building and check the room square meter. Some of the rooms are tiny. There is no more place to open your luggage :) The other bad side is breakfast. Open buffet but not enough!

A cozy lifestyle boutique hotel inspired by the natural beauty of the islands easily located right in the heart of El Nido town.
Clean, cool, and comfy in El Nido
Reviewed By 310lillytWe stayed 2 nights in Sanse and were happy with the spacious room, comfy bed and interesting bathroom setup. We appreciated the chilled, filtered water available 24/7 and the friendly service. The front desk staff arranged our laundry to be done at a competitive rate with clothes returned within 12h. The breakfast was modest but fresh and tasty and delivered at a time of our choosing right to the room. After hot days in el nido it was a treat to return to a cool, clean, peaceful, and private room. The location is right in the heart of El nido town close to all the best restaurants and near the docks for ferry/island hopping tours. Overall good value for the price.

Nestled in a quiet street at the heart of Puerto Princesa, Balai Princesa is a bed & breakfast with five, exclusive rooms as well as unique facilities artfully designed to delight the senses. Converted from an old house into a peaceful oasis, Balai Princesa is a unique space where the comfort of home meets the idyll of paradise.
Top notch boutique hotel in bustling Puerto Princesa. We will definitely be back!
Reviewed By JaenessBalai Princesca is an oasis in the middle of bustling Puerto Princesa. It is a five-minute ride to the City Center and Baywalk and less than 10 minutes to the airport. The decore is extremely serene and architecturally interesting. Everything is pretty much walkable but the hotel is very good about getting a tricycle at any time (80-300 pesos depending on the distance). This gem of a hotel has only five rooms. We stayed in the family-sized room (we were upgraded). It had two separate showers and four beds! For the two of us, it was more than spacious. There is a spa on the second floor where you can get a massage at a moment’s notice. There are three saunas and a hot tub as well. It seems counterintuitive to do a sauna and hot tub in the heat. But after a massage, it felt amazing and it actually made us feel more acclimatized to the tropical heat. The massages are highly recommended, particularly the 90-minute Balai Special and 90-minute Combination. The Lilim Cafe in the hotel is one of the restaurants in Puerto Princesa. Finally, the staff really took care of us. They picked us up from the airport. The final thing that made it truly amazing is that they arranged for us to have our 24-hour antigen test at the hotel for us. In summary, an amazing hotel with terrific staff, a good restaurant, and a spa to boot.

Incredible boutique resort
Reviewed By 776ryanmOne of the best boutique resorts in El Nido. The setting on Nacpan beach is absolutely spectacular (and worth the 45 min drive from town) and the rooms, food, ambiance and service were first class. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

A quiet island resort for guests to relax and relieve their stress. A beautiful place to enjoy your family vacation.
Very simple but beautiful and tranquil
Reviewed By klitgaardjIf you're expecting Resort lifestyle and service this is not a place for you. If you however want peace and quiet, simple lifestyle and a beautiful beach right outside then I definitely recommend this place. Our cabin was simple but a bit worn down. The Bathroom could use a brush up. But we found the cabin ok for sleeping which is basically what you need it for. Beach is really nice. Beautiful clear blue water with the possibility of snorkeling. It is not the best spot for snorkeling the water is a bit rough and there rocks but you can borrow a life jacket. Food was OK. Again simple is the word that comes to mind. Suggestions for improvements: - a table at the cabinbalcony so you can play cards and games (cabin 11) - wodden beach furniture could use a maddress as they are really hard to lay on - more seafood and fish for dinner
7. Lazuli Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17 reviews
Lazuli is the first boutique hotel in San Vicente, Palawan along the longest stretch of white sand beach in the Philippines. The resort is designed for families, couples and group travellers. We have three room configurations; the standard room (40 sq.m.) can accommodate 2 to 4 persons, the loft room (55 sq. m.) can accommodate 5 to 6 persons and our family room (110 sq.m.) can accommodate 10 to 14 persons. Our room prices are based on accommodating 2, 5 and 10 persons for the standard, loft and family respectively and we charge for Pesos 1,000 for extra persons. The resort has a pool and a wide opening to the beach. There is a very good restaurant on site which is getting good reviews from hotel guests, locals and residents from nearby resorts. Lazuli has an open badminton court and beach volleyball court. The area is good for surfing during certain months of the year. Island hopping and other tours can be arranged.
Virgin Beach
Reviewed By mamabelzThe rooms, pool, bar, and beach were great! It was nice walking on the beach (it’s like boracay 30years ago). No encroachment. Beautiful. It’s just that there were a lot of stray dogs and corridors had dog poop. Unfortunately, not everyone is a dog lover. Bring what you think you will need- toiletries, laundry soap, extra clothes, cash (no bank at all), medicine (no first aid kit on premises; bring paracetamol, bactroban, mosquito repellents, zinc oxide, sunburn medicine etc). Bring chocolates, chips, alcohol (if you are particular).

Great hotel
Reviewed By alicet5432Myself and three friends stayed here for 4 nights whilst visiting El Nido. It was a lovely hotel room, all the amenities you needed and cleaned daily. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly - good advice about the local area and trips out. Good location near Las Cabanas beach and a short tricycle ride to El Nido Town proper. I would recommend this hotel.

Charmantes Boutique Hotel
Reviewed By Urlauberin4everEine wirkliche Perle in Port Barton. Die Anlage ist toll gepflegt und die Zimmer sind super sauber und modern. Hervorzuheben auch das liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Personal. Man fühlt sich als Teil der Familie und wirklich herzlichst Willkommen (Lik Lik is amazing). Ein weiteres Highlight ist der gepflegte Pool mit seinen angenhmen Liegen (inkl. gemütlicher Auflage). Tolles Frühstück, liebevoll zubereitet.

Avoid
Reviewed By baroogabeachUnfortunately we had to cancel our trip to Palawan due to the pandemic. We paid for our 2 rooms back in December 2019. We do the right thing by these small operators by paying direct therefore ensuring they receive all the money and avoid booking fees from trivago, agoda etc. Now we can't get our money back. The many emails are proving fruitless. A good lesson learned is never pay by telegraphic transfer. Palawan and Port Barton are still high on our future holiday destinations. But I know where I won't be staying.
