Great resort - the convenience of the restaurant, free rides into town, and the waiting room was helpful. If you are looking for comfort just a few minutes outside the busy el nido town center, this is worth it.

This was my favorite property in my entire 2 week Philippines trip! The staff were the nicest people I’ve ever encountered at a hotel. They were always polite, helpful, and personable. The location has the most amazing sunset view right from one of the pools or restaurant. It was such a great experience on our first night. The rooms are clean and well kept up. The food at the restaurants was so delicious as well. I think we tried pretty much everything on the menu. The resort is a short drive from the town but it is walkable if you wanted to. The resort offers a free shuttle at any time to and from the town. And they will arrange transfers to and from the airport as well. I have nothing at all negative to say about this place. I wish I could have stayed there much longer!

Excellent resort. Beautiful surroundings and views, spotless and comfortable rooms, wonderful accommodating staff. Food was good in the restaurant and the servers are great! LOVED this place - pool was awesome. Great place to rest and relax. The location is great too, if you want to be a bit out of the main hub of town but close enough to walk there for shopping and eating.
Beautiful night view

Beautiful hotel, food is amazing, views epic. Only negative is Lawin room, a beach front cottage backs on to a very noisy bar, the music should stop at 10pm, it didn’t one night and the hotel did respond and speak to the bar and they provide earplugs. But whilst having evening showers you do feel like you are at a youth hostel disco! With the base coming into the room. I would definitely stay at this hotel again but ask not to be near the bar.

The resort was stunning. The room was very clean and the restaurant was amazing especially their breakfast spread. The only drawback was the pool in our area (Cadlao 3) was not as inviting as the other pools. Also, there were some decorative features around the property that can potentially store stagnant water which lead to many mosquitoes in the area. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

This is an amazing property. Breakfast was very good made to order. The Staff here are so lovely making sure you have a nice stay. Housekeeping is impeccable. It has a nice view although there isn’t really a beach but it’s just a 20 minute tricycle ride to vanilla beach for wonderful sunsets. I would definitely recommend Caldao Resort

The staff service is unquestionable. Everyone is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are clean and pleasing to the eye. Staffs are very attentive to guests needs and can be messaged 24/7.The road going from and to the property is not the most pleasant but they provide 24/7 transport which really helps. The property is very quiet and relaxing. If you need a place to relax, unwind and just enjoy silence, I recommend this resort!
