Gorgeous island and a 5 star property. The advantage of this side of El Nido (Taytay) is that there are no other resorts in the area. You are always alone on trips to small islands or diving. Water activities are easy, such as snorkelling, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding. There are also many on land activities, such as hiking, rock climbing. We stayed in the loft unit area. It was a nice run in the morning along the shoreline and into the west beach. The beach is deserted, just you and the nature.

The resort is beautiful. It is very quiet so it is perfect for some R and R. It also offers a variety of activities so your days can also be quite full if you choose. Everything is perfect in Apulit. If there is anything, the food needs to be improved. The quality is there, it is the cooking talent that needs to be worked on. The transfer the island is long and the waters can be choppy. Potential guests should know this

Apulit was beautiful! The staff were so friendly and very helpful. My husband had an ear infection while there and the Resort doctor, Dr Ina was so helpful with his ear issue. We enjoyed Chef James choice of food. The food was amazing and since I’m a vegetarian, there were so many choices for me. Jeff and the staff during our dining were so nice and helpful. We didn’t have any issues at all with the dining experience. I had never paddle boarded before and Raul was so helpful in getting me started with the activity. Overall, it was a great experience! We hope to go back soon!

Everything about the resort is very good. The staff was very welcoming. Service was friendly without being too much. The resort was full when we were there but you wont feel it at all. The island was of course very beautiful and quiet.

I had an amazing experience at Apulit Island. It's on a private island of Apulit, which is self sustaining and protects the animals on the island. Everything you need is on the island including a 24/7 doctor. The staff there are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Every meal is delicious! My experience here was absolutely phenomenal 10/10. The daily activities are incredible. There is never a dull moment on the island. Peaceful and relaxing. They assisted us everything under the sun. I will definitely stay here again.

Adventure and Relaxation!
Excellent resort! Beautiful remote island with plenty of outdoor water activities and excellent reefs for snorkeling. Water is crystal clear and pristine! Great balance of activities and relaxation. Rock climbing and rappelling is a must do! Also, one of the best massages I've received at their Spa. Service was excellent and at the end of the trip we felt like family! I would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to return again!

We spent an amazing 8 nights here for our honeymoon and were blown away by the staff and the resort. It is truly amazing and so beautiful. The snorkeling is great and this can be done right from the beach or the deluxe water cottages. Will definitely visit again

Great Adventure at Apulit
Superb service coming from hotel staff from airline to pick up to hotel to the activities. The price you pay may be a bit steep but it includes all food plus activities such as boat tours, snorkeling, rock climbing and rappelling. I can't recommend this resort enough, it seriously exceeded our expectations.

Perfect getaway, better than Bora Bora
This place requires some traveling, but it is completely worth it. On top of that, they provide all travel once you arrive at the airport in El Nido. The views are just spectacular, the food was great with plenty of variety, staff was A++++ they practically make the experience, the room was comfortable enough, the bed too firm but everything else about the resort makes you forget it.

Great private getaway
Mistakenly our room was given to someone else, instead of switching possible rooms or any other quick solution, we had to wait for housekeeping to clean it up. Apart from this, everything was perfect, stunning views, fun activities, friendly staffs, good food, nice environment.

Cheerful staff. Great food. The sad thing was very far. It consumed 1 day for the travel time. So the amount you paid per day will not suffice . Book for 3 nights but only one whole day to enjoy the island. First day was delayed at Lio airport (beware poor judgement between air traffic control and land control since they sharing the road ) Last day breakfast and check out at 630 despite 12 is check out bec of travel time.

Great hotel, wonderful location, great service. 2 problems: very expensive (both the stay and the extra charges like drinks etc.) and there's a problem of sewage smell sometimes. But still worth it if you can afford it.

Amazing
We only stayed here for two days, but the two days we were here was nothing short of amazing. As soon as you pull up to the resort, you realize how beautiful this resort actually is. The staff are super friendly and always going out of their way to help. The food was excellent and changed daily. I would highly recommend this resort if you are looking to relax and unwind. There are daily activities which are included in the price. The only downfall which really is so small, but for anyone who is looking for nightly entertainment, there is none, so expect to be going to bed early.

Perfect place to relax and do adventurous stuff
Comparing to other resorts in el nido I found this the best. Clear water, in land activities and such. Really sweet staff. Very professional and polite. Rappelling and hike was amazing here. House snorkeling is also really nice. Couldn't see the caves due to choppy waters but did see them from the outside on the boat and looked amazing. Food was really good. Chef will make special items for you if you request it for free. Activity guides were really nice and polite.
