This is a report on a private island. Resort was very natural. Restaurant and bar service was good. Many food choices and all food was good. The pool deck needs to be refinished as wood was splintering. Very friendly staff and beautiful scenery. We enjoyed the stay at this property.

Honestly the most incredible holiday experience we have ever had! My husband and I holidayed with our 3 adult children and daughter in law!
From the moment we arrived we felt as though we had been dropped into a luxury movie set! Too beautiful to be real! Gobsmacking natural beauty of coral reef and lush rainforest and the most perfect beach. The staff have clearly been hand picked to work here. Easy communication with English. Incredibly polite and accommodating with everything! The one and only restaurant was big and welcoming but also romantic for those wanting exclusion and privacy. There was a wonderful selection of fresh food and an extensive menu for all tastes. The bar was fully stocked with all spirits and beverages from all corners of the world and the cocktails were incredible. We stayed in the Bayview pool villa that was perched a steep 4 minute walk from the resort pool and restaurant. Phenomenal views.
Our own private pool.
We will be back most certainly

You will want to stay for more!!! Definitely one of our best stays in a resort. I can confidently say that this resort is of world class caliber. From pick up to departure, their team and staff always made sure that everything is facilitated and taken cared for. The attention to detail is impeccable that the whole experience is very personalized. Nestled in an isolated area, Cauayan resort guests can enjoy tranquility, peace and be one with nature. Complimented by the top notch service from their team and staff, there is nothing you can ask for but to wish that your stay could have been longer or that the experience will not end soon. The amenities are good and enough and I am sure could be better but the quality of service you get is what makes it standout and special. My words can not give justice to the whole experience so you must try it!!!. Shoutout to each and every member of their team for a job very well done. Special mention to Ms. Jen Taduran and Mac for making our stay extra special and for leading a team worthy of recognition.

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.

Hotel was amazing, location was absolutely stunning, the staff were very friendly,
might have been the best massage we had with the view of the ocean under us.
It was quite expensive but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

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!

If you wish to be treated as a second class citizen, go ahead and book at this resort. We had the misfortune of dealing with this resort while a group of doctors were at a "learning summit" for drugs. They clearly did not pay for their trips but were treated as kings while my Fiancee and I, who did pay for our own trip, were treated as second class guests. We were forced to wait for the first group of doctors to land for one hour, which made our transfer two hours long. I was notified by the property that the transfer would only take 30-50 minutes. Upon arrival at the property, our bags were misplaced and mishandled being mixed in with the large group's bags. When I ask to talk to the General Manager, there was none to be seen and a very unhelpful operations director "Jen" was next to useless in addressing my concerns. When we got to the villa, the Bathtub drain was leaking and the TV did not work. the next two hours a revolving cast of staff came to the villa to try and fix the numerous issues with the room. Despite this, the next day engineering had to come back and fix the drain again. Later the same night, as we turned in from trying to relax the whole day, we could hear obnoxiously loud music coming from the bar around 9pm. By 11pm the music was still very much audible and very annoying. The next morning, the hot water did not work and after they "Fixed" the water coming from the tap turned brown. This resort sabotaged my villa to force me out and place a doctor into it.

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

Excellent service, excellent staff, excellent scuba diving coach for beginners. Just bored when you stay for too long, not too many activities available here. But the beauty is enough to give 5 stars.

Property itself is beautiful and the beach is gorgeous. Staff was very attentive. We had an issue with our bathroom and they came to try to fix immediately. The included breakfast was excellent, great selection. Overall though the pricing for food and tours was fairly expensive comparative to the rest of the area. Also, we had to pay for a lot of extras. For example we needed a boat ride to get back into town and were charged an extra 4000 pesos for one way ride. Additionally, we asked if we could bring towels from hotel on an excursion we booked independently and we were told they would have to charge us to take the towel (not a deposit, but actually charge us to use the towels). Overall, we had a great time though did notice these minor things that weren't expecting which is why I would give the experience 4/5 instead of 5/5.

Exactly what i was looking for and expected. Relaxing place. Gorgeous set up. Amazing pool villa on the hill. The food could have been a little better but it s a private island so it’s good they can still offer so much choice. Seeing turtles and reef sharks daily just by the hotel.

This is hands down the nicest place I've ever stayed. Everything is clean and well-maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond. Extremely friendly and helpful, adding another level of amazing to the already incredible setting.

2.5 / 5.0
Everything fantastic. The house reef is dead BUT there are daily sharks and many sea turtles, plus I even saw a baby manta ray! You can almost see them from your beach villa. Beach villa was wonderful, absolutely luxurious (outdoor and sunken indoor shower!). Definitely a luxury resort. Prices for the external boat tours to match accordingly. Food generally very good. Staff very professional and friendly. We had a wonderful time, thank you. One negative comment is I thought the massages were incredibly expensive. Certainly cheaper than the western equivalents, but, for example, double the price vs two similar island luxury resorts we also visited; these prices should be reduced. I would view the provision of massages less of a profit centre and more a service. Other than that, we were very happy. Please provide mosquito repellent for free, that would be a nice touch.

The property was excellent and we really enjoyed the quietness. The staff was amazing and the food was pretty good. Wished the menu was rotating though, but the fish was excellent and very fresh. We loved how it wasn't crowded and the resort didn't play loud annoying music. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here for our honeymoon. This resort has fantastic service, an incredible spa, excellent food, and a quiet atmosphere. The only downside is that it’s a 20-minute boat ride from El Nido town (with no boat service after sunset) so if you want nightlife this is not a good choice. The private island-hopping tour is a bit expensive but it was the highlight of our stay (along with the spa.)
