Paradise!
Like no other place we've stayed before, this place is a paradise island! Beautiful location & villas, friendly staff and the most amazing food (this coming from a vegetarian - the veggie and vegan menu is extensive and absolutely delicious). To top it off we did kayaking, snorkelling & paddle boarding off the beach of the hotel and saw a sea turtle amongst the coral! Highly recommend the spa too, watching a shark in the sea below whilst having a message is an experience I won't forget. The whole stay was perfect

The resort gives you a feel of the Philippines with its hut villas. The people are the pride of this resort. They are friendly, courteous and kind. The tour, boat and land transfers are very well coordinated. The food is great. They offer a diverse selection of food. We had their signature massage as well. And it is heavenly.

Cauayan Island Resort is outstandingly beautiful and dreamingly scenic. But what made the stay even more worthwhile were the staff at the resort who were so kind, professional, and dedicated in quality service. Not to mention how satisfied my partner and I were with the food. Every dish we ordered were deliciously cooked to order and their fruit shakes were amazing! Also, the island hopping tour which we booked through the resort was well done as the guides were fantastic. What a beautiful experience this resort has made with our first visit to El Nido. Highly recommended this place!

Best laid back luxury and top service in El Nido
Cauayan was amazing, the best treat we’ve had this year. The Beach Villa was extremely comfortable, the service was excellent, the staff kind and attentive. The food was very tasty, we loved every minute and wish we could have stayed longer. The attention given to our anniversary and my birthday was very appreciated. Congratulations to all staff and managers for running this property so well and making us feel so welcome! Truly the art of laid back luxury and top service! We will be back! Maria & Roberto
