Cadlao Resort & Restaurant

Cadlao Resort & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"Cadlao Resort was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip in the Philippines! From the second we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the most amazing staff. Every single person greeted us with warm smiles, kindness, and a willingness to help with absolutely anything. Their genuine hospitality made us feel less like guests and more like family, and it’s something we’ll always remember. The entire resort is beautifully maintained and impeccably clean. Our room was spotless every day, and the pool areas were always pristine, making them the perfect place to relax after a day of island hopping. The food was another pleasant surprise—we loved everything we ordered from the menu, with fresh, flavorful dishes that we looked forward to every evening. Breakfast was equally impressive, with a wonderful variety of delicious options that gave us the perfect start to each day. What makes Cadlao Resort truly special isn’t just its beautiful setting—it’s the people. The staff’s warmth, professionalism, and constant smiles created such a welcoming atmosphere that it was genuinely hard to say goodbye. Thank you for making our family’s stay so memorable. We left with amazing memories, full hearts, and one wish: to come back again someday. If you’re visiting El Nido, don’t hesitate—Cadlao Resort is an absolute gem!"

"Our first visit to El Nido, Palawan was absolutely fantastic, and staying at Glamping at Karuna El Nido made the experience even more memorable. We stayed in the Love Triangle accommodation, and the view was spectacular, overlooking the ocean. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. We didn't have to worry about booking our island-hopping tour because they took care of all the arrangements for us. They also provided private transportation wherever we wanted to go, which made getting around so convenient. Our family of five truly had an amazing time in El Nido. We highly recommend Glamping at Karuna El Nido to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and unforgettable stay."

"Their guest service is wonderful! The included shuttle to and from the airport and to local beaches is great! All of the staff are kind and attentive. I had issues with my first room but the hotel quickly provided a room move and sent me fruit and a bottle of wine. The location is situated close enough to town by walking but far enough to not be of the middle of it all. The cliff slide pool/roof deck area is beautiful. Loved the free tote bag as well. The turndown service was also very nice and included cookies. Also the mini bar is complimentary your first consumption. They also will do your laundry complimentary once (I learned this later after I used a service in town) but will note this for next time. The staff learn your names and provide an amazing experience/stay."

"The hotel was conveniently located two blocks from the beach with a roof-top bar that overlooks the bay. The staff was over-the-top accommodating, food was great and 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. TV was modern with streaming, internet was reliable. The room was comfortable and clean. Downsides, coffee maker in the room didn't work (but in all fairness we forgot to mention it), bed wasn't super comfortable, rooftop bar wifi disconnects you hourly, and parking was scarce but they valet for you if necessary. Highly recommend and we'll be back."
