First impressions are everything- after a pretty long and bumpy day on the road we were quite tired but as we arrived on the beach near Playa Encantada there were people RUNNING with big SMILES on their faces approaching us- what a welcome! 🤗❤️ The beach location is far from most tourism places and took some time to get there but as we came there we decided to stay the entire three days on the property instead of doing the island hopping tour as we planned before. Total relaxation! This place is quiet, great sandy beach, the best staff (I will remember Vanessa’s smile every day, and her family was super helpful! Always running to make the place clean and comfortable 👌) and owners- Rochelle and Alberto were great to talk to and made super good local food from fresh produce. Loved it! Lovely animals on the property and cosy places to read a book in silence. And the best mango-banana shakes we’ve ever had🙌 The bast views during sunrise and when the night is clear- the thousands of stars you can see! Amazing!
I would recommend staying there for a few nights in a row since the remote location. We did have some plans to move around during our stay to do island hopping but the time and cost of going to El Nido would not be worth it. If you come to Encantada Playa, no need to plan anything else.

We liked everything about Playa Encantada! The bungalows are great and spacious. We had the terrace facing the ocean where we see the sun and moon rise. During our stay we had the beach to ourselves and it was so peaceful and quiet.
Nothing! It was our first time in Palawan and we were a bit far from the city where they organise the tours. Location is perfect for peace and quiet - we are definitely coming back. ❤️

This place is perfect! There are just 3 cabins and a huge stretch of uninhabited beach. It's off the grid so don't expect wifi or anything like that. Rochelle and her staff are so friendly and accommodating, I felt like part of the family. And the dogs are too cute, especially Brownie the puppy. Their authentic Filipino food is all organic, locally sourced, and absolutely delicious. The property is on the other side of Palawan about 45 minutes from El Nido so it's a perfect, tranquil getaway from the crowds.

It’s a great relaxed place with nature on your feet.
Just the sound of the birds, dogs and gecko that woke me up early in the morning. ^_^

Playa Encantada is one of the best places we have ever stayed. Firstly, the location is superb. It is only accessible by boat, so it's really private. The beach is so quiet it almost feels private, and there is a coral reef where you can snorkel and swim right outside your door. The view is excellent, and it is perfect if you're looking for rest and relaxtion. Rochelle and Alberto are also fantastic hosts, really interesting and excellent cooks! They made us beautiful food throughout the day, and the serving staff were really friendly.
Nothing!

I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to get away from the crowds and get a private secluded beach with very few people. The beach in front of the property is amazing and the staff could not be nicer! Rochelle and Alberto are amazing hosts, and are always very helpful to the guests. They helped us a lot during our stay there! When it comes to food, Rochelles cooking even for vegetarians like us was top notch! We liked this place so much that we may come back to the Philippines just to stay here again!
Nothing. Everything was just perfect.

Lovely place with amazing staff, great hidden secret on the east side of north Palawan!
We totally enjoyed our stay at Playa Encantada, the beachfront cottages with cozy hammocks are so beautiful and the perfect place to relax!
Rochelle and Alberto are lovely hosts, they are so helpful and kind people, helped us organize all of our transfers (boat and tuk tuk) and gave us advices and tips! Also the staff was so friendly and always eager to help!
The meals were delicious and you even get amazing italian cappuccino! We enjoyed every second of our stay at this beautiful hidden gem!
nothing, everything was perfect!

Beautiful isolated beach, with welcoming, lovely people. The food was amazing, and hammocks much appreciated, as was the Italian coffee!
They arranged the transfer by tuktuk + boat and it all went smoothly. An ideal break away from touristic crowds - and the internet...

The owner was kind and her brother waited 7 hours so we could arrange our flight back to holland!
I am 2.01 meters tall. The bed was a little to short for me.

The location is incredible - off the beaten track (quite literally, the road is definitely well beaten!). A private slice of paradise with three simple beachside rooms. Loved the comfy chairs on the veranda and the hammocks were great.
Above all, the staff were just absolutely fantastic. Rochelle is a wonderful host and her team made us some genuinely brilliant home-cooked meals. Loved the grilled prawns, the fried rice and the pancakes in particular. Tino a fantastic driver too, thanks again.
It’s a small, homely, wonderful operation - really loved our stay.
Nighttime noise! We’re quite heavy sleepers but the dogs barking at night was frustrating. Still, we caught up with some daytime naps in the hammocks!
