H Hotel El Nido - Vegan Friendly Hotel

10/10 Excellent

""Honestly, as someone who treats eating like a religion, my biggest fear coming to El Nido was checking into a place that slaps “vegan” on the menu and serves you a sad plate of lettuce with nothing to say for itself. H Hotel is not that place. The chickpea omelette eats more like a French crêpe, slightly bitter at the finish, but in an interesting way. I went back for more that evening. Breakfast has real variety too. Over three days I had something different each time: pancakes, the chickpea omelette, yoghurt bowl. The pancakes are genuinely massive, the kind where two people sharing one is not a bad idea, and you’ll still leave full. For dinner I ordered the bang bang tofu. Crispy outside, sweet and spicy sauce, really good. Probably even better shared across a few dishes at the table. One downside: the bathroom is small and nicely designed, but the sliding door angle means water ends up on the floor outside the shower. The hotel does leave a mat there, so they know. I stayed in a sea view room. The balcony with chairs is my favourite thing about it. Early morning the light is still this grey-blue colour, sea and mountains just sitting there quietly. I stayed out longer than I planned. Staff member Sky sorted us a private speedboat for island hopping, just the two of us, not packed onto a boat with thirty strangers. Worth every peso. The massage place next door has a discount for hotel guests. I went twice. The second time I actually needed it."

8/10 Good

"Stayed here with my partner for two nights while visiting El Nido. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and very helpful throughout our stay. The hotel has beautiful views, though it’s located at the top of a very steep hill. A shuttle is provided, which is helpful since taxis and tricycles can’t access the property directly. Our only issue was the noise at night. Our room was closest to the road, and we could hear tricycles, barking dogs, and vendor carts. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and stunning views."

Cadlao Resort & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Amazing place to stay with great view! The food was delicious and service impeccable. Best part was the top notch food presentation. You could tell the person who made it loves their job. Only thing I could suggest to improve would be lighting in the room. At night, even with all the lights on, was not enough while packing my luggage."

Pangulasian Island Resort

Pangulasian Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The must do spot on your Philippines trip. From start to finish it was perfect. The breakfast, the activities, the attentiveness. The staff at your call and such friendliness. The beautiful villas. The beach. The people you can befriend on the private island. Nothing was ever an issue. They treat you just like family."
