Dolarog Beach Resort

EL Nido|1.65km from Pinagbuyutan Island
Dolarog, a true pet-friendly resort! The resort in itself is superb! It’s like a hidden gem of El Nido and the greatest thing about it is it’s truly a pet-friendly haven! What I like about it is that it’s still in the main island but gives off that exclusive feels. We stayed for 8 days in total at the beachfront villa called Lagen which is a few meters from the beach overlooking their jetti way and that awe-inspiring giant limestone directly in front of our villa. Getting to the resort is other via speedboat or their private access road from Vanilla Beach using a golf car. You know that you’ll have an excellent stay when the owner, Mr. Edu picks you up(or sometimes the son) from Vanilla beach for a more personal touch. How hospitable right? He also has a selection of Italian wines from his cellar as he is Italian, I had Chianti btw over dinner with the beach, stars and the moon as our backdrop. Truly magical! The rooms are always kept clean by the staff who are also very friendly. The main Receptionist, Tata is attentive and very pleasant not to mention very informative. I would take her as my head of staff if only I could! She knows her products and knows when to recommend it, the type of staff who is not in your face all the time to promote an offer. I must say she is one of the nicest resort staff I ever come across with. Food is relatively good. Home cooked and unpretentious. As with any advice when you go to a limited supply area such as El Nido, don’t get your expectations too high on having a western dish so much because obviously, you will have some issues so I only ordered I know locally sourced here like seafood or their filipino dishes like the menudo and chicken curry which are my faves! Filipino breakfast is good. You might wanna carry spare powerbanks as the resort rely on their own generator for electric supply. From 6am-9am and 12noon-6pm there is no electric power. Also, TV is not available (not sure abt other rooms though) but who needs a TV anyway? It’s not like you chose to go to El Nido and sit all day on Netflix and stay indoors duh! I rented a motorbike for 500/day basis and this really helped me in exploring or going out of the resort but the resort offers complimentary shuttle via their golf car to Vanilla beach for free but I wanted to leave and come back on my own time. This is also a 20 minutes walk to Maremegmeg beach by beachside access. Tricycle ride cost between 150 going to town from Vanilla beach btw. Overall our experience is a great 4.5/5 with .5 leaving for improvement on the land access before the Dolarog gate. Also, I’m pretty confident even without any advertisement or active social media promotion, the resort will do just good but let me tell when I posted 1 picture of Dolarog on my socmed, people flocked my DM to ask if I was in another country. This is how beautiful the resort is but I hope that with how Millennials pick up on their next destination is mostly through social media, the resort pu

Dormitels.ph El Nido
2.7/511 Reviews
We got the highest tier beachfront access villas with AC. We were pleasantly surprised to find that dormitels was connected to eco hotels, a bigger and higher end hotel, and the staff was more than helpful. Every time before we left the hotel we inquired how much a trike would cost from that location. The given price by the drivers was always higher and we chewed them down to the price given by them. Location is great as even tho it is really not in front of the beach as advertised, it’s part of a little cluster with some of the best food we found on the island! Altrove for pizza and the Israeli falafels were to die for!
Outpost Beach Hostel - Adults Only
4.1/547 Reviews
I stayed at this hostel 4 nights on 12 bed room. Good place to party, nice view and far from town. You must take a tricycle or rent a motorbike. Wifi not so good. there is no wifi inside the room and no line connection. They have island hopping tour, van transport etc. Also have restaurant down there. Overall i will stay here just for sleep.
Doublegem Beach Resort and Hotel
3.8/514 Reviews
We stayed in one of their villas. Bottom line; find another property to stay at. The A/C was mediocre until it started spewing Freon. Took a look and it was basically a block of ice so zero maintenance. You can’t really enjoy the ocean in front of the hotel as its all coral under your feet. A few buildings down though a great sandy bottom. The breakfast buffet is cold. The CR looks to originally been a shower stall converted to a bathroom so no real ‘privacy’ so we used the CR’s outside. The internet is horrible and I mean horrible! We got better internet at little cafes. The upside is the staff are very nice people. We spent a fair chunk if coin for a villa but it wasn’t worth it. Much better and less expensive properties in El Nido. We’ve learned our lesson for our next trip here.
El Nido Resorts Lagen Island
4.7/560 Reviews
My stay at El Nido Resorts Lagen Island was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff's warmth and genuine hospitality were exceptional; they always wore smiles and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. From assisting with ferry bookings to surprising me on my birthday with a beautifully decorated bed and a delightful cake, their thoughtfulness was truly heartwarming. Special thanks to Carell, Jojo, Harnie, John, and Arvin for their outstanding support. The resort's happy vibe upon arrival sets the tone, and you leave with a smile, longing for more. The complimentary tours, seamlessly integrated into the package, were made exceptional by the supportive guides, creating a private and well-timed experience. Opting for the overwater bungalow was a unique and enchanting experience, adding to the paradise that is El Nido Lagen Island. The buffet-style meals offered three times a day were a culinary delight. I wholeheartedly recommend El Nido Resorts Lagen Island for an unforgettable and highly recommended getaway. Thank you for an exceptional stay!
Orange Pearl Beach Resort
3.7/537 Reviews
We booked this place for a resort that we can unwind in. We aren’t ones to complain so please read this review and pick another place. El Nido is beautiful and there are some lovely resorts and accomodation around. The Orange Pearl is not this. The service is terrible. The manager is rude and doesn’t help with anything at all, even just asking for clean sheets and towels after our room wasn’t serviced like he said it would be multiple times. Music starts blaring from 7am so no relaxing at all. This is for their breakfast which is poor to say the least as we chose not to eat there after trying it on the first day. The restaurant is nothing great either The best part about the room is the aircon which works well. We are the closest room to the main reception area and we don’t get any wifi and neither do any of the other rooms. There is no coverage in any of the rooms either. The bathroom smells like sewage and the drains don’t work so prepare for the bathroom to flood when you shower. The location is right on the beach which is lovely but it also means you sit on your small balcony and get harassed by people selling things whenever you’re outside of your room which we understand around town but it’s a pain when you’re trying to read or relax. Overall this place is just not like some of the other places around the Phillipines we have stayed and so I’d recommend to stay away from it.
