While the property is still in its soft opening phase, it definitely did not disappoint. The location is very convenient with just 5-8 mins trip from the airport by trike or hotel service & 5-min walk from the beach where different restaurants are located. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and the full glass windows show a calming view of trees that lull you to sleep as they sway with the wind. I was even woken up by monkeys playing the next morning! Should’ve booked a longer stay but I’m definitely looking forward to staying here again once the hotel is finished!

Fantastic oasis in a stunning setting. The design is incredible. The room has all the finishes of a high end luxury hotel. Plants are everywhere. A few mins by motorcycle to nacpan beach yet surrounded by nature in beautiful rice fields that seems so far from civilization.

We really enjoyed our stay! the staff were lovely and accommodating. They helped us with the tours, motorbike, and transfer to pto princesa. Big room with nice bathroom and comfy bed. Yummy places to eat nearby and cheaper than town center. The road to get there could be tricky but nothing too bad, we got used to and you can do it by walking or motorbike. Definitely recommended 🙏🏽💓 thank you

We had a great experience at Amari Hotel! The place is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Even though there is some construction happening at the moment, it didn’t bother us at all — the atmosphere is still peaceful and relaxing. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is great, close to the beach and perfect for exploring El Nido. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again once everything is fully finished! Highly recommended! 🌴✨

The room was clean, comfortable, and well-designed, with a nice view that made the stay more relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in/check-out process was smooth. The facilities like air conditioning and shower worked perfectly. Although the room was not very big, it felt cozy and had everything needed for a short stay. Overall, it was a good value for the price, and I would recommend it to travelers looking for a convenient and comfortable stay in the area.

Host Amelia went above and beyond our expectations. She ensured we had transport to and from the airport, was there to greet us and also farewell us, shared her knowledge of the best places to see on the island, and gave us great recommendations for food and dining. She hooked us with driver Junjun who was an absolute legend. No matter how many times we went back and forth, he was there to take us. The bed was incredibly comfy, and the pillows were to die for. The room was very quiet even though there were beach clubs nearby. It was a 5-8 minute Tuktuk ride to the main El Nido strip. We had plenty of snacks, water and alcohol in the fridge. Our washing was done in under 24 hours, and was still warm when we got it back. The room was very private, and it honestly felt luxurious with a touch is island living. The location is SUPERB! Maybe 30 meters from Panorama Beach club, you can't get much better than that. Amelia, we loved staying at your accommodation and will be recommending it to everyone coming to El Nido. Thank you so much!!!

It is secluded but you do not feel isolated. Only 8 huts/guest rooms makes it private. The breakfast is a la carte and with a Spanish take - really tasty and exceptional. Menu for lunch/dinner is varied and tasty. Great drinks. Staff is kind, warm and ready to make your stay special. Sunsets are breathtaking from upstairs restaurant or downstair bar which has a small infinity pool you can dip in and have a drink in. Panorama is a short 10 min ride on tricycle (local tuk tuk) if you want to explore town of El Nido. An island hopping day trip is a must.

The breakfast was really well prepared..much better than other breakfast included. The staff was awsome and in our first hour we found a tricycle driver that was more than helpful in showing us everything that Puerto Princesa had to offer.That then became our main mode of transportation,,the experience of seeing through a local was fantastic,and he also bragged about the hotel to us..Our only regret was not scheduling more time to visit the area,,,meaning we will be returning..Look for tricycle driver Ryan Rosales...highly recomended......

The resort is perfect for a relaxing no-agenda getaway. The pool was just outside our hotel room beckoning us daily. The beach was mere steps away and the ocean waves perfect for bodyboarding. Beachcombing and romantic moonlit strolls were favourite daily activities in addition to the leisurely poolside options. The staff exemplified the meaning of hospitality and provided excellent customer service!

The wow factor was definitely at Twin Lagoons and Kayangan Lake. Loved swimming and snorkelling although coming from Australia, the corals and fish were a bit underwhelming. Plenty of cafes and restaurants in Coron Town. We especially liked the french restaurant Armihan Bistro, Poco Deli (next door to Epic Cafe) and Le Voyage. All catered for Gluten Free meals as well. Tuk Tuks are plentiful and easy to catch. 50 pesos for 2 peoples to take you anywhere within the town boundaries. We also walked to the hilltop lookout Mt Tapayas .. but beware, there's 720 steps to climb to get to the top from the car park!!!

We did the underground river tour. It was rainy but still worth it. It was one of the most unique experience for us to see how the river caves formed and all the different stalagtites and stalagmites formation Other attractions we would probably like to see is Honda Bay.

Absolutely!

Absolutely! San Vicente really flies under the radar compared to El Nido and Coron, but that’s part of its charm. It’s less crowded, more laid-back, and still boasts those stunning, unspoiled beaches—especially the 14-kilometer Long Beach, which feels like a hidden gem. The slower pace and warm, genuine hospitality from the locals really give it that authentic "island life" vibe. It’s perfect for people looking to relax, connect with nature, and avoid the more tourist-heavy scenes. Some even say it’s what El Nido felt like 10 or 15 years ago.

Every day I walked from the hotel to Sabang wharf on the beach and on one day had coffee, adobo and itlog in a small cafe there. Everyone was very friendly, and I bought some Pasalubong, when they did not have my tee shirt size, they went to another shop to get it for me and to get change when I gave them 1000 peso note. I asked directions to the falls, but no one was exactly sure where it was or how long it would take to get there. The place was secure (police station at the wharf and coastguard and army regularly on patrol in the area. I eventually found the park that a friend recommended (5 km from the hotel) and had an excellent buffet lunch there twice and again they made Chester very welcome, the park was free and had some interesting, recycled artworks and a tribute to the devastation in the area by Typhoon Odette- well worth a visit. Also visit Buenavista viewpoint- the local community run it and you can get Buko juice, coffee, snacks and Pasalubong plus take great photos of the bay

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping. If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home. Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February. To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

A delightful quiet backwater and so far less developed town. The beaches were beautiful and mostly clean. The town has plenty of activities to offer and places to eat. The whole place is walkable but you may want a Tuktuk or moped to visit further beaches.

If you intend to visit Palawan you need to be more informed than I was. The Philippines are a poor country. Accommodation is cheap and as such you get what you paid for - No hot water, some cockroaches, you cannot swim in the water because of the jellyfish, plenty of sandflies and no shop to get any relief medication. There is no way to move around unless you organize transfers that cost you as much as your accommodation. A must see if you would like to see the culture. We were unable to snorkel due to weather

El Nido has so many fun things to do, and we liked that while there were a plentitude of tourist options, we were not separated from local culture and activities that sometimes happens in other places. We were only there for four days, and we could have stayed another week. The beaches are beyond stunning, both the ones you can walk to and the ones that need a boat. The snorkeling was fantastic, the food options endless, and the vibe was chill and fun.

The calamian group of islands of which Coron is part of, is beautiful. And I hope all the measures to keep it pristine and unlittered will be successful always. There are many breathtaking sights. You would need a sizable budget though to be able to enjoy the boat tours which are wonderful. If you have the time, visit Culion. It is historical (a UNESCO site), and while the places to see could do a little tidying up, nevertheless, the history of that place invites reflection and inspires--many heroic people lived on that island. Kudos to the religious who have kept the place going since it was first established. The Culion museum should be your first stop.
