    Guests adore this resort for its beautiful and relaxing amenities, stunning views, and prime location. The friendly and top-notch service from the staff is also highly praised. While some guests suggest that food taste and freshness could be improved, they still appreciate the good variety and quality.

      “​️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dream Of A Getaway at Cauayan Island Resort ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

      From the moment we arrived, Cauayan Island Resort felt like stepping into a fairytale. Nestled in the serene beauty of El Nido Bay, this luxury haven exceeded our highest expectations. Location & Setting — Simply Magical The raw majesty of untouched nature. Perched on its own private island, the resort’s dramatic limestone cliffs, pristine white‑sand beaches, and crystal-clear lagoon set a truly cinematic backdrop — unforgettable and utterly peaceful. Water Villa Stay — Sublime Luxury I highly recommend the water villas. Spacious, elegantly, and beautifully styled in harmony with its natural surroundings, it offered a private full bathroom with both an indoor shower bath and an outdoor shower, king-sized comfort, air conditioning, and a serene patio with private loungers — the perfect place to meditate with the sound of waves and beauty all around you. Service That Felt Like Family The staff didn’t just serve; they elevated the experience through their friendliness and attentiveness. Every interaction—from airport transfer to turndown—was warm, gracious, and memorable. Leaving them after just three nights there felt like saying goodbye to friends or family. Dining & Premium Indulgence Our group of 14 opted for the premium dining and drinks package—absolutely worth it. The food was varied, beautifully presented, and complemented by superb cocktails. But the most surprising thing was the quality, with dishes that would meet or exceed your expectations of 5-star equivalents back home. The package we ordered also included private dining setup on the beach, making our time there a personal, premium, and unforgettable one. Amenities & Experience We effortlessly drifted between private excursions, spa indulgence, snorkeling, and pure relaxation by the pool (with bar service) and beach. The resort thoughtfully blends leisure, luxury, and nature. Final Take: A Trip of a Lifetime If you’re looking for an indulgent escape where every moment is elevated by world-class service, breathtaking surroundings, and true laid-back luxury — Cauayan Island Resort is where dreams meet reality. As the last three nights on our two week Philippines adventure, this one resort made our trip not just a vacation; but the trip of a lifetime.

      “Phenomenal Resort with the Warmest Team”

      We had such a phenomenal stay at Cauayan Island Resort. The location is absolutely fantastic, with breathtaking views all around. 🌴✨ The food and drinks were delicious, and the amenities made everything really comfortable. Even though the weather in August 2025 wasn’t perfect, it didn’t stop us from having an amazing time. What really makes this resort special is the staff. They are truly the heart of the place – working so hard, always with a smile, and making every moment memorable. A huge shout-out to the bar and restaurant team, who gave us the friendliest and warmest service. Nick, muchas gracias por todo, amigo! 🙌 Can’t wait to come back – highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting El Nido.

      “Beautiful hidden resort, peace and quiet, high quality service! ”

      Our stay at Cauayan Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality by every single member of staff. Their friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism made us feel incredibly well looked after throughout our entire stay. The level of service was consistently outstanding — every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. It’s rare to experience such seamless organisation and consistently high standards across the board. One of the most magical moments of our trip was witnessing the release of newly hatched turtles into the ocean. It was a deeply moving and unforgettable experience that added a unique and meaningful touch to our visit. Set on a secluded island, the resort offers the perfect combination of peace, tranquility, and natural beauty. It felt like a private paradise, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life — a true sanctuary. We left Cauayan Resort feeling relaxed, inspired, and incredibly grateful for the experience. It was an absolute dream, and we can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommended.

      “Great place to stay in, But!”

      The place is great to stay in with nice beach and great location however you need to mind the following constraints that could effect your whole trip 1) the resort is located in stand alone island which bring huge logistics challenges for travellers. 2) there is limited boat transportation to and from the resort island from 8am till 5pm subject to change to more challenging time from 10am till 2pm. 3) there are limited flights from Manila to nearest domestic airport in palawan Elnido. 4) MAKE SURE TO SECURE YOUR FLIGHTS/LOGSTICS TO REACH ELNIDO PORT BEFORE 5PM. Other wise you will stick in Elnido for the night till next day morning to check in to the hotel. 5) Alternatively you will end up either of taking long rout from pureto princess airport which is 6 hours away from Elnido or you will have to book charter flight from Manila to Elnido. 6) normal flight from Manila to Elnido will cost around 4 to 8k peso depending on the departure time and charter sail plane will cost around 40k for 3 passengers. 7) if you decide to book charter i would recommend contacting +63 905 301 3899. Be careful as you could be scummed with super high price as it happened to me, which cost me multiple the prices as I was not aware of the resort logistics limitation and end up with no other option. 8) one of the most must try is Island hopping but the resort price is almost double the market price. 9) if you want to try Island hopping, I would recommend you to call +63 965 147 6334. I foumd Midnight Sun from advise in the web from previous travellers. Private Speed boat renting with crew from 8 hours cost me around 25k peso with tips. Ofcourse if need cheaper option you can take group boat. Usually the resort wouldn't allow third party boat to pick you up from the resort but you can check with the resort mangment who are flexible. There are free worth to try activities in the resort like sun raise and sun set hiking, board surfing, Kayak and snorkeling. One more thing the Spa Massage is amazing and I recommend to try it on your last night. But make sure to book it ealier to ensure your spot I would recommend the resort but it will require alot of logistics arrangements before booking.

      “Amazing”

      Overall, wonderful stay and absolutely stunning place. Everything was super impressive you’ll feel like you’re in a Hollywood film where they vacation on an island. Everyone was so so so nice that it almost made me uncomfortable 🤣. The service was immaculate you will never need to ask for anything at all they’ll ask before you even know you need an ice water, or more shade, or literally anything. Exceptional stay, location, and service. I wouldn’t stay for more than two nights if you get uneasy about being away from the mainland like I do. 2 days is perfect! We stayed at a beach front villa and again you’ll feel like you’re in a dream or a movie. They give you these amazing yeti style tumblers to keep your water fresh and cold all day. Exceptional.
