Naglayan Island Vacations from $254

This property suited our needs perfectly. It’s right on the water and right in the center of El Nido. It’s right next to restaurants, tour information, and a convenience store, plus an easy area to grab a trike. The only complaint I have is that the rooms are all adjoining so it was a bit loud if you have neighbors. We could hear the rooms next door TV all night. Otherwise it had exactly what we needed and the staff was SO nice and caring.

Very quiet place out of the noisy town. Staff incredibly professional. Rooms very comfortable considering how much I paid. Definitely my first choice if I’m coming back

It was really nice and quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. It was about 20 mins away from the main city center though so if you wanted to go around for shopping and eating out- you would need to use their private shuttle which is about P650 each way. You can also take a trike for P30 per person but that might be a bit far. There is another eating/shopping area closer to the resort which is about 5-10 mins in a trike. Smaller though. The property also had a small pier with a bar where you can enjoy the sunsets. It was also convenient for private tours as the tour picked you right up from the pier so no need to go anywhere else. Breakfast buffet was spectacular but the drinks at the bar needed work. Overall a great experience.

It is safe but for the buggy is the problem if many guest and your hotel room is too far

Lihim Resort in El Nido was an absolutely amazing world-class experience for us. The service and professionalism of the staff is absolutely top notch and far exceeded our expectations. The way the resort is designed allows you to experience the beauty of nature in El Nido while simultaneously enjoying a luxurious villa that is well appointed and thoughtfully designed. Restaurant Gana at the resort has some of the best Filipino food we have had in the Philippines, but can also serve great dishes for those that prefer more western cuisine. We participated in two boat tours, one of which included trips to Lihim’s private lagoon in Cadlao, and a private beach in Hayag. These trips were the highlights of our travels, with amazing views, delicious lunches, and wonderful guides. We can’t recommend this feature enough! If you stay here you must take a boat tour at least once.
