Amazing stay

We had an amazing time at the Cauayan. We loved everything about it, the setting, the outstanding level of service, the nature surrounding it, the privacy. I particularly loved seeing turtles and baby sharks while snorkelling on the beach. We had two wonderful day trips to the nearby attractions and beauty spots and did some diving. Jeremiah deserves a special mention for making our trips even more enjoyable. We rarely go back to the same place, but the Cauayan might just become an exception.

Our stay at Cauayan was truly exceptional. The pre-arrival communication was smooth and efficient, and the airport transfer was seamless. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They were particularly wonderful with our two young children, creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere that made our holiday truly special. The island itself is breathtaking, and our accommodation was perfect. Cauayan surpassed our expectations in every way, and we left feeling like we'd experienced a slice of paradise.

A True Island Paradise – But the Incredible Staff

Our stay at Cauayan Island Resort was beyond five stars. The secluded, pristine location offered breathtaking views, making it a true island paradise. The all-inclusive dining exceeded expectations, with fresh, creative dishes and impeccable service, especially from Karl at the restaurant. What truly sets this resort apart is the incredible staff. Mac, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, even assisting with extending our visit and rearranging flights. The front desk team, Krem and Joy, were always welcoming and helpful. A special mention to Ernil and Oden from the boat crew, who made our excursion unforgettable. The spa services were exceptional, providing a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Every aspect of our stay exceeded our high expectations. We can’t wait to return to this paradise.

MUST READ!

It was absolute perfection! This was our first time to the Phillippines, my suggestion is don’t stay in el nido town, stay your entire time at Cauayan, the hotel was incredible but the staff makes it a 10 star hotel. We were lucky enough to meet Gio, Cristian and Alrey from the pool bar, they were all so kind and welcoming, they make killer drinks and are always making sure you have the best time. Also look for Joy at the front desk, she will help with any issues you may have. Lastly , we truly enjoyed the service of Arniel at the restaurant, what a nice polite man. This hotel has a much better coral reef than any of the el nido tours, the beach is much more enjoyable than any el nido tours , so I highly recommend this place!!!!
