Eco Sanctuaries Nature Lodge Nacpan Beach, El Nido

I enjoyed the peaceful setting of the resort and the solitude it provided. The sustainability practices throughout the property were appreciated, and I valued the commitment to maintaining its character as a small eco-tourism destination in such a beautiful part of the world. The staff were kind, welcoming, and respectful, and the farm tour was both enjoyable and informative. We also appreciated the complimentary yoga, with mats provided and an instructor arranged for our small group. The meals were exceptional and consistently exceeded our expectations. Although we visited during the off-season, I appreciated that the resort accepts only a limited number of guests at a time, preserving the peaceful atmosphere rather than maximizing occupancy. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a quiet, high-quality stay in Nacpan.

The only disappointment was a beach bar farther down the shore that played loud, booming music from around 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. Although the resort is some distance away, the bass still carried across the beach. It was unfortunate because it distracted from the peaceful atmosphere and the natural beauty that make Nacpan so special. I hope the resort owners and local businesses continue to advocate for preserving Nacpan as a destination for relaxation rather than nightlife. There are many places for a party scene, but quiet beaches where travelers can simply enjoy the sound of the ocean are becoming increasingly rare. It would be a shame to lose the unique charm that makes this area so special. Also, a practical note: transportation can be challenging. Finding a tricycle when leaving the area is not always easy, so plan ahead and expect to pay a premium for the convenience of getting to or from El Nido.

Rauhallinen sijainti hienolla rannalla. Täydellinen hotelli lepoa varten. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja ruoka hyvää.

piękna lokalizacja przy plaży oraz pomocna obsługa, która regularnie pytała o nasze samopoczucie. Na plus również szybka i bardzo profesjonalna reakcja obiektu na nasze uwagi po pobycie.

jednym z głównych problemów było Wi-Fi. Mimo zapewnień o dobrym internecie musieliśmy wielokrotnie prosić o jego naprawę, a gdy już działał, jego jakość była bardzo słaba. Dodatkowo w okolicy praktycznie nie było zasięgu telefonicznego, więc pozostawaliśmy całkowicie odcięci od świata. Zarezerwowaliśmy jedyny domek z widokiem na plażę. Pierwszego wieczoru przed naszym domkiem zorganizowano wydarzenie, mimo że do dyspozycji była ogromna przestrzeń plaży - nie zapewniło to oczekiwanej prywatności ani spokoju. Ze względu na lokalizację możliwości gastronomiczne poza obiektem były bardzo ograniczone, a ceny w restauracji były zauważalnie wyższe niż w innych miejscach - czas oczekiwania był dość długi, a posiłki zdarzało się otrzymywać zimne, mimo że byliśmy chyba jedynymi gośćmi. Niektóre rozwiązania promowane jako element koncepcji eco nie do końca odpowiadały naszym oczekiwaniom dotyczącym komfortu pobytu jak np. termos zamiast czajnika do zagotowania wody. Pewne zastrzeżenia mamy również do dojazdu do hotelu, ponieważ korzystanie z transportu oferowanego przez obiekt jest praktycznie konieczne, a końcowa cena różniła się od wcześniej przedstawionej.

Tout

Rien

Расположение, уединенный чистый пляж и море, совсем никого

Отсутствие кондиционера и холодильника, скудное меню

Fantastische plek. Je waant je op een onbewoond eiland. Maar wel met een bar, en ontbijt en lunch. Rustig, breed strand, de mooiste zonsondergangen. Niet verder vertellen, anders wil iedereen hier heen.

Het is een beetje afgelegen. Je moet er moeite voor doen om op pad te gaan. Tijdens ons verblijf was er geluidsoverlast van resorts een paar kilometer verderop. Eigenaar heeft er alles aan gedaan om dit te beperken. Helaas niet helemaal gelukt. Lijkt eenmalig te zijn.

Everything was amazing — simply a piece of paradise. Can’t recommend the place enough. Since it’s all the way at the end of the beach is really secluded and you are pretty much alone. If you need to disconnect from the world this is the place. We could have stayed there for 3 weeks.

ロケーションが最高。 併設されたレストランのご飯も健康的で美味しかった。

日中が猛暑の日の夜は熱帯夜になり、寝づらかった。

Le calme, la plage, les couchers de soleil, la gentillesse des gens, les cocktails, la cuisine

Rien

Im Bett aufzuwachen mit Meeresrauschen, das war definitiv ein Highlight. Der strand einfach traumhaft! Das Personal war super freundlich und der Willkommensdrink war magisch 😀 Das essen war auch super lecker. Es war alles in allem eine mega Erfahrung.

The location is incredible and so quiet The food is wonderful as are the staff

Liked it all but was v hot in room at night and the pillows / bed were not perfectly comfy. But we had a wonderful stay

It is one of the most amazing places we've ever been to. The place is remote, so dont expect much entertainment but it is at a stunningly beautiful beach, has great food and is very sustainable with solar power, home grown food and no aircon (and yet it was not too hot at night). The sunsets were incredible.

It stood-up to their claim - being a sanctuary… not to close to busy areas and being ecological … striving not lower its pressure on nature. Still we had all we wanted and again I have to praize especially the food at the restaurant

I liked everthing

The location is amazing, the accommodation is charming with sea view. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent and fresh. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the idyllic natural surroundings & sunset. Fantastic Lodge ❤️

Palvelualtis henkilökunta. Odottamaani pienempi majapaikka. Huone ja WC/suihkutilat siistit ja toimivat. Wifin toiminta melko vakaata. Ranta rauhallinen (väki ja useat resortit etäänpänä) ja helppo päästä uimaan, vaikka kohtalaisen kovaa maininkia. Hieno hiekkapohja. Kohtuullinen etäisyys mm. vaihtoehtoisiin ravintoloihin. Shuttle bus service oli toimiva ja edullinen yhteys El Nidoon.

Pihan ja yleisten tilojen mm. ravintolan viihtyisyydessä parannettavaa. Myös huoneen edusta oli keskeneräisen oloinen. Ylihintainen. Hienohiekkaisen rannan vuoksi ei snorklattavaa kuten monilta muilla alueen ranoilla on.

Le site idyllique, le personnel gentil et le restaurant de bonne qualité

Le prix / a la prestation et notamment l’équipement . Un bungalow de 20m2 avec la salle de bain au lieu de 30m2 indiqué sur votre site . Aucune terrasse devant le bungalow pas de sièges extérieurs . Eau froide à la douche , pas de sèche cheveux , pas de réfrigérateur pas de coffre . En boissons pas de coca pas d’eau gazeuse pas de thé noir . Au petit déjeuner choix entre café thé ou jus de fruit pas les 2 … c’est mesquin . Équipements vieillissants poufs troués ou décolorés par le soleil . Un espace accueil précaire , et l’accès à pied 500m dans le sable sous la chaleur pour ceux qui ne réservent pas le 4x4 de l’hôtel . Heureusement le personnel porte les bagages ….

La Vue, plage paradisiaque pour nous seuls, le bruit des vagues depuis notre bungalow Le staff très gentil Le restaurant est excellent Meilleurs Pancake de El Nido

Es gab eine große Auswahl an Frühstück, die Portionen waren sehr groß und auch sehr lecker, alles wurde frisch zubereitet. Die Zimmer waren wirklich außergewöhnlich. Man hat direkt aufs Meer geschaut und konnte auch das Meeresrauschen hören. Die Zimmer waren sehr groß, das Bad ebenfalls und gut ausgestattet. Es gab jedoch keinen Föhn und keinen Safe, was aber normal zu sein scheint. Das Personal war stets freundlich und aufmerksam. Der Strand ist wunderschön und menschenleer, da es das letzte Hotel des Strandes war. Wirklich paradiesisch und perfekt zum entspannen und ankommen.

Fantastic!

Amazing and quiet!

The hotel is very nice, only 2 Cabins and 1 Villa and that makes it feel very cozy. The space at the beach is very good. The rooms are comfortable, beautiful and nice decorated. Food at the restaurant was delicious and good prices. Staff was always willing to help. Altough it is difficult to reach the hotel, we were picked up and drop off at the Van station by a Truck from the hotel, that was very helpful.

An einem sehr schönen ruhigen Strand. Kleine Bungalowanlage. Bekommt man noch wie in früheren Zeiten heißes Wasser aufs Zimmer Viele Liege und Sitzgelegenheiten am Strand.

Leider hat es Sandfliegen!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft direkt am Strand, wir haben es sehr genossen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich

Vi synes at stedet var ubeskriveligt Fantastisk. Alt var super godt. Dejlig hytte, alt mad var lækkert, personalet var fantastisk søde og service orienteret. Vi elskede den fantastiske ro, Nacpan Beach som er et uspoleret sted uden ret mange turister. Vi spiste aftensmad på stranden som personalet arrangerede. Det var fantastisk. TAK 🙏

It’s on a beautiful stretch of beach. You go to sleep and wake up to sounds of the ocean. The food was very tasty and the staff were happy to assist in anything you needed.

It’s a little out of way, and only accessible across the beach so you need to have the 4x4 take you or a motorbike. No AC or hot water! The hot water isn’t missed because it’s so refreshing after a hot day but the fan just doesn’t do what AC does and so the room was often sticky and hot. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great so it never really felt like you got the sand off you

Die ruhige Lage fernab des Trubels von El Nido und von den Bars/Restaurants am Beginn vom Nacpan Beach. Sehr schöne Hütten, gutes Essen und bequemes Bett sowie modernes, sauberes Badezimmer. Die Sonnenuntergänge waren traumhaft und das Schnorcheln (an einer kleinen dem Strand vorgelagerten Insel zu der man leicht vom nördlichen Teil des Strands schwimmen kann) war wunderschön. Eine gratis Ganzkörper Massage haben wir auch bekommen!

Leichte Abnutzungsspuren, kein Yoga im Angebot, viele Moskitos und die Schlafräume kann man nicht gut verdunkeln. Ansonsten alles super!

Excellent food

Personnel très agréable et souriant Nous avons apprécié le calme de l’hôtel ,à l’écart et seulement 3 chambres

Eco sanctuaries is such a tranquil oasis, we really enjoyed it. All the staff is very helpful (shoutout to David who started his day earlier so we could have breakfast on the go for our mangrove tour). Then of course, location! Sleeping with the sounds of the waves, waking up and walking onto the beach, its just the best. The cabin is very comfortable, whit a lot of storage space. And the banana pancakes for breakfast are beyond delicious ( all the food is very good!).

We were missing a save in the cabin.

Die Lage ist super. Frühstück war sehr gut

Doch recht teuer für eine kleine Bambushütte ohne warmes Wasser. Sitzgelegenheiten vor der Hütte fehlten.

Its a fantastic beach, and we rented the biggest bungalow with beachfront - so amazing views. Water is crystal clear and its surrounded by trees & just very peaceful and secluded in general. Comfortable bed, and its a nice big bungalow, with good daily cleaning. The food is good.

We had rented a car, and the free parking was so hard to get in & out of due to some bad paving in the entrance so we actually broke our rental car on it. They also do not have hot water, and it was quite difficult to get blankets - as its right on the beach its quite windy & chilly even indoors, as its made if natural materials. The resturant was always out of something, and they didn’t really care to go and buy the things they were out of. Even ”todays special” was unavalibe for the nights it was on the board. For the price we paid, we were expecting that these things would have been avalible from the start.

The property is so beautiful. Intimate, clean, quiet, you can only hear the sound of the waves breaking on the beach and the birds singing. A stone's throw (literally) from the sea. It was incredible to spend our days here, we felt at home, an indescribable feeling ❤️ The food is simply EXCELLENT. The staff are extremely kind. Ailyn, the girl who welcomed us at check-in, is incredibly sweet, kind and always available. Roger helped us set up the Wi-Fi, determined and decisive. The girls who served us were always polite and smiling. Not to mention the wonderful massage on the beach, which was incredible. The breakfast is nothing short of exquisite, the banana pancakes will remain in our hearts, but so will everything you can order for lunch or dinner. There are no words. I would choose this resort a thousand times over! I highly recommend it! Thank you for everything, guys, we are truly grateful to have met you!

Nothing. Everything wonderful.

Tolle Hütte, groß und gemütlich, sehr liebes Personal, super Essen!

Der Preis war zu hoch im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften auf unserer Reise

Tutto

Assolutamente niente. Se proprio devo trovare qualcosa dico i moscerini ma questo non dipende dalla struttura

Struttura composta da 4 bungalow, con una parte comune centrale con la cucina per colazione, pranzi e cene.É un posto autentico, non per tutti, chi cerca lusso o superfluo non è il posto giusto. Chi cerca pace e serenità in contatto con la natura è perfetto. Il bungalow é costruito in bambù e paglia, il bagno annesso è in muratura e perfettamente funzionante. Non c è aria condizionata o frigo… ma c è un ventilatore che é sufficiente. Poi sei a 20 metri dal mare, senti le onde e la brezza che entra in camera.Tutto pulito e ordinato. Ristorante ottimo in tutti i piatti. Nacpan beach è un luogo isolato con 3/4 strutture sulla spiaggia è un luogo di riposo in una natura meravigliosa

Niente

Our stay with Eco Sanctuaries was nothing short of perfection! There is not a thing we can fault about our stay. To start, I had confirmed I booked the very front bungalow. There are only 4 bungalows, with the largest one at the front with the best views. Note that the other bungalows behind this one would not have the views as the front bungalow. We absolutely loved that there weren’t many bungalows because this meant there wouldn’t be many other guests. Over our stay there was only a total of 6 guests (including the two of us)! The property was also much further down Nacpan Beach and so much quieter and secluded than the other busy parts of the beach. This we absolutely loved because we felt so much further away than what we really were. Our bungalow was beautiful. The perfect in between rustic and comfortable! It was clean and tidy. But the view was the real showstopper! Considering the bungalow is breezy, we had barely any insects inside!! This was quite surprising to us. There is also a security guard during the evenings. Please note, the showers are only cold water. The staff kept the property in tiptop shape, always cleaning the beach chairs from sand and keeping the grounds cleared. The food was also incredible! A wide variety on the menu and such high quality. Every meal was delicious. The staff were also really lovely and helpful.

Now this is really picky, however the towel hooks/racks on the bathroom walls needed to be tightened.

Nettes Personal, sehr feines Essen, schöne Eco Lodges, beste Lage am Strand

- Keine Klimaanlage

Perfect location, amazing food, lovely staff

Poloha v klidne casti plaze, soukromi, jidlo

The magical place,on a very secluded part of the beach where we could swim ,relax,go for walks.This part of the beach is so beautiful and virgin like.Very spécial place Enjoying our marvellous room with increíble view on the sea,listening to the birds singing and the sound of the sea.The eco sanctuary is very respectful of environnent everything is done around nature with taste.We felt very privileged to stay in this beautiful place where every meal was so delicious,prepared with care and love Also had a wonderful massage on the beach.We wished we could have stayed longer.Next time for sure

Gelegen aan het prachtige Nacpan strand. Huisje met zicht op azuurblauwe zee. Eco lodge, dus geen warm water en airco neem je er gerust bij. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Zeer lekker eten. Bij ontbijt zeker banana pancakes proberen. Alle groeten worden trouwens ter plaatse gekweekt. De hond van de lodge was jarig zodat alle gasten een taartje kregen, leuk.

Geen droogrekje in de kamer zodat we natte kledij buiten op planten moesten leggen om te drogen. Groot probleem zijn de strand vliegjes. Stond vol met beten van kop tot teen. Natuurlijk niet de fout van de lodge.

Increible lugar para descansar unos días. La playa donde se ubica es super extensa y hermosa.

Nous avons vraiment tout aimé ! Nous avions loué la villa qui donne directement face à la mer , c'était incroyable ! Le charme de ce complexe est qu'il est éloigné de la plage de nacpan, il n'y a donc quasiment personne autour , se réveiller avec le bruit des vagues est magique ! Le personnel est vraiment adorable et aux petits soins pour que votre séjour se passe bien ! Pour découvrir les environs il est possible de louer un scooter à 10 min à pied de la plage (impossible d'accéder en scoot jusqu'à l'hôtel car la plage est le seul chemin d'accès) Tous les repas sont délicieux et très bien cuisinés ! Bref nous recommandons !

Tout était parfait on aurait aimé rester plus longtemps !

the location is amazing, right at Nacpan beach the food is very good quality and made with love we liked the fact that many of their products come from their garden (vegetables, duck etc) they offer laundry service

insect bites even with mosquito net

People working there were very nice. They picked us up, and let us stay a bit longer as we arrived quite late. Food, breakfast or dinner was also great. The beach is amazing.

No hot shower. Place was good, but not necessarily worth the price.

Hervorragendes Frühstück aus hochwertigen Produkten. Perfekt für diejenigen, die gerne etwas anderes probieren möchten, als Brot, Marmelade und Müsli zum Frühstück. 5-6 Gerichte zur Auswahl aber wirklich gut nach philippinischen Verhältnissen (wir waren nur 6 Tage dort und das hat gerade gepasst)

Die nähe zum Strand, die Ruhe und Sauberkeit

Sehr schöne Lage am wunderschönen flachen Strand.

Dusche hat nur kaltes Wasser

Rigtig flot udsigt(vi havde den bungalow ud til stranden). God beliggenhed væk fra alle andre. Service også fint, og meget dejligt privat.

Der var tuko’er på værelset (det var fint nok). Dog var der mus på værelset, som de der ikke gjorde så meget ved, de kiggende kun og sagde de kan jo løbe ud igen.

Das Personal war einfach toll! Extrem hilfsbereit und mit das beste Essen unserer gesamten Reise- wirklich besonders! Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am Strand und ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Super schön für eine entspannte Auszeit.

Posizione eccellente, nella parte più bella e riservata di Nacpan Beach. Bungalow accogliente, raffinato e praticamente in spiaggia. Personale gentile e professionale, tutti del posto, sempre disponibili e cortesi.

Nulla

We were alone Smiley and nice and helpfull workers Close to beach Amazing cousine Close to nature

hard mattress :p

La ubicación es espectacular. El staff es maravilloso, siempre te atiende con una sonrisa, especialmente Rodger y Dave que han hecho nuestra estancia super acogedora.

El único problema que mencionaria son los Mosquitos, pero tampoco es culpa del hotel, al estar ubicado en plena naturaleza es normal. Llevad antimosquitos si o si.

Emplacement de l'hôtel : tranquillité, très peu de lodges, sur une plage superbe. Le restaurant est absolument délicieux La gentillesse de tout le personnel Le confort des chambres

Cela n'a rien à voir avec l'hôtel mais les mouches de sable sur la plage gâchent un peu le plaisir surtout le matin et en fin de journée !

É isolado, tranquilo, incrível! Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e prestáveis, a praia é espectacular e o silêncio sabe tão bem!

Tutto. Posizione pazzesca sulla spiaggia di Nacpan, per stare lontani dal caos e immersi nella natura in una struttura totalmente ecosostenibile e praticamente riservata. Cibo buonissimo e stanza fantastica che permetteva di stare molto bene anche senza dover usare l'aria condizionata (che non c'è, essendo attenti all'ambiente). Personale gentile e accurato. Spero che altre strutture nelle Filippine prendano esempio e seguano questo modello di turismo.

Niente

The location was absolutely breathtaking, and the owner and staff were warm, personable, and genuinely friendly. I loved that the place is committed to being eco-conscious, actively working to minimize its carbon footprint. They even took the time to clean up particles washed ashore from passing ships to help protect the island. The water was crystal-clear—so pristine it felt like swimming in a pool. Truly an amazing experience!

One area the venue could improve on is helping guests arrange transportation from Puerto Princesa Airport. We understood it was a 6-hour trip and didn’t expect it to be cheap, especially since they work with outside transportation companies. That part isn’t the issue—what would really help is offering guests more affordable options up front. When we arrived, we paid 9,000 pesos (over $200 USD) for a private van to take us from PP airport to the venue, which was nearly the cost of our flight from Manila. On the way back, after asking about alternatives, we were able to take a shared van for only about a third of that price. If we had known about this option beforehand, it would have greatly reduced our travel expenses.

Nous avons tout adoré, aussi bien l’accueil du personnel que la beauté des lieux. Nous avons eu la chance de profiter gracieusement de massages ainsi que d’un repas offert. Le petit déjeuner était irréprochable. Nous avons également rencontré les deux cuisinières, aussi talentueuses que sympathiques, qui concoctent des plats savoureux avec les produits frais de leur potager, qu’elles nous ont d’ailleurs fait visiter — un vrai privilège. Le bungalow, à la fois spacieux, écologique et confortable, nous a beaucoup plu. Quant à la plage, elle est tout simplement splendide, parmi les plus belles que nous ayons jamais vues. Un grand merci à Roger et à toutes les personnes, parfois anonymes, qui ont pris soin de nous avec une gentillesse naturelle et un sourire constant. Le mot "paradisiaque" semble encore trop faible pour décrire cet endroit. Nous le recommandons sans hésiter !

Rien a dire tout était parfait.

Piękna plaża. Spokojnie. Pomocny personel. Ładne, komfortowo wyposażone domki.

On the bright side, there is no noise pollution whatsoever and one can fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean.

To be fair, I was there at the end of the season, so things may be different in the high season. The place was deserted (no other guests) and had a slightly run-down feel to it. The sand flies were relentless and the heat in the rather dark hut unbearable, also the mosquito nets had holes in them. Food was too greasy. The staff was friendly but a bit clueless regarding possible activities or helping in organizing trips.

Very beautiful location, in a quiet part in the middle of Nacpan Beach, really nice and spotlessly clean huts, fantastic cuisine in the restaurant and also super nice staff. They also 100% live sustainability in this lodge and are fully integrated with the local community.

Read the description well, there is no air conditioning but they provide two fans per bungalow which works fine.

We had an incredible stay at Eco Sanctuaries Nature Lodge in Nacpan Beach. The location is stunning, with beachfront villas offering breathtaking sea views. The food was amazing, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. There is a possibility to do Joga too. What truly sets this place apart is its commitment to sustainability and supporting the local community. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even more memorable. If you’re looking for a sustainable, tranquil escape, Eco Sanctuaries is the perfect spot!

Nacpan Beach is a truly peaceful and picturesque destination, and the location of the hotel is fantastic. Our beach-front room was lovely, and the soothing sound of the waves added to the tranquil atmosphere—it truly felt like paradise.

The biggest letdown was the limited menu at the hotel’s restaurant. More than half of the items on the menu were unavailable, which was particularly frustrating after a day out on a boat trip. After such an adventure, you’d expect to enjoy a nice meal without having to leave the beach area, but unfortunately, we ended up eating tuna for three days in a row because there were no alternatives, and it was a shame not having calamari and prawns which were on the menu not available for four days on a beach destination. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low, making it difficult to have a proper shower. On top of that, there was no hot water in the room, which added to the discomfort. Overall, while the location and scenery are stunning, the lack of limited amenities left a lot to be desired. I hope the hotel can improve its restaurant options and fix the issues with water pressure to make this stay more comfortable. .

You pay for the location which is absolutely gorgeous, very isolated, and really unique - something that in other parts of the world could cost much more. That being said, there is no AC, no hot water which was OK for us. The staff (only interacted with a young very friendly guy) was super friendly, trying to make our stay even better and offering complementary massage.

All items on the food menu are subject to 12% tax and 10% additional service fee which then comes as a surprise when you have to pay the bill seeing almost 25% higher price - yes, its was indicated in the menu but still found it very unnecessary and have not seen this in any other restaurant/hotel in Philippines.

The location is amazing in the best spot in Nacpan beach, it does come with the challenges though as you have to walk a bit to get there. It definitely pays off though.

Breakfast options wasn’t great and the fact that the tea and coffee facilities were only provided for the first day.

All was great, the room was very clean, the location is top, not crowded, all ste staff was verry friendly. They arrange us massage, sound meditation class, so that we felt verry welcomed. The food was amazing, well prepared from natural ingredients, super tasty, served with elegance, congratulations to the chef, we enjoy our vacation so much.

Nothing, everything was ok.

Peaceful beautiful location, the perfect beach crystal blue waters, service and staff were beyond!!

The sand flies, but that’s not in their control

This Eco conscious Resort on Nacpan beach exceeded our expectations. The resort was extremely quiet, has friendly helpful staff, a great health conscious restaurant and is situated on the nicest beach we visited during our month long visit to the Philippines. The bamboo cottage helped us feel like we were communing with nature. Great place to hide away from the busyness of El Nido.

There were no yoga activities available during our stay.

Nestled in a quiet, secluded location, this eco-friendly retreat offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully designed with thoughtful details, ensuring comfort and convenience—mosquito nets, a fan, a private bathroom, a wardrobe, and tea/coffee-making facilities are all provided. Everything is spotless and well-maintained.

Some other guests mentioned having issues with sand flies, though we personally didn’t experience any problems. However, it’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellent to be prepared.

Beautiful location! The beach is gorgeous. The lodge is secluded and tranquil. Great staff, service and food. Away from the business of other resorts on the beach, and yet close enough if you wanted to explore other places.

Polyester bed sheets and pillowcases. Super uncomfortable for the body, especially in the heat. I suggested the management invested in the 100% cotton sheets for the comfort of future customers.

We wanted a peaceful escape from the crowds, and Eco Sanctuaries El Nido did not disappoint. Staying here was incredibly relaxing and serene—exactly what we were looking for. One of the most memorable moments was our engagement dinner on the beach. The view was breathtaking, with the sky painted in shades of purple, blue, red, and orange. To make the night even more special, they surprised us with a complimentary bottle of red wine—such a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated! Breakfast was included in our room rate and served à la carte. The food was delicious, and enjoying it with a sea view made the experience even better. And of course, the sunset views and starry nights at Nacpan Beach were simply unforgettable. We could never get tired of watching such beauty. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended for those looking for a peaceful and magical retreat.

N/A

Outstanding location, on the quieter side of one of the most beautiful beaches, anywhere probably. Oh, and the food was top notch too. Into yoga? They have classes every day. If I’m around this area again, would return without hesitation.

It’s a work in progress, a newer business, so I think it will improve over time as they iron out some things. One thing they won’t be able to though, is the sand fly situation. If you’re prone to being bitten, avoid being out or uncovered at dusk and dawn. Also, make use of the mosquito nets and you’ll be good while sleeping. Don’t use the nets, and prepare to get chewed. With a little thought and avoidance, you can really enjoy this place, a true gem!

The location was fabulous. The resort is lovely and quiet, on the calmer side of the beach. True paradise. Stuff is amazing and welcoming, breakfast is great. Would love to come back!

We were aware of amenities at the resort, still no air-conditioning made nights uncomfortable, and sand flies were really going for us.

If you like you are looking for something unique and to be truly immersed in nature, you MUST stay here. Five reasons why: 1. Great location, Nacpan Beach is like a postcard and the eco Sanctuaries is located on the most private part with a gorgeous natural setting, but within a walking distance from other bars and restaurants 2. Tasty food, the restaurant offers by far the best food on the beach. We highly recommend the five course meal on the beach, incredible Filipino fusion dishes under the setting sun 3. Relaxing yoga, we had a great teacher (Lisa!). Yoga was great way to start the day and added to the zen feeling at the sanctuary 4. Unique lodge, the lodge is lovely, comfy bed (with good quality bedding) in a nice garden (there is no aircon, good for the environment!, but there is a fan and enough airflow) 5. Fantastic staff, superfriendly and personal service, they even remembered our preference! Even after our stay there were there to help us recover an item we left behind, they went above and beyond for us! 10 out of 10, we were sad to leave and would definitely come back

Breakfast was great with lots of variety

Nothing

everything. the facilities and the location were outstanding

nothing to say here. we did like everything

The location

ECO SANCTUARIES NACPAN Failures under the guise of Eco. Too far from town for electricity perhaps, so use solar power. We were aware this would mean no air conditioning, no fridge in the room, no hot water shower. Ok but it's over $180 US a night, the food but especially the service must be excellent to justify rustic accommodation at this price. Well unfortunately not. The breakfast meal choice is good and tasty. But no juices one breakfast, no alternative shakes ? Just luke warm water not cold. A couple of beers in the afternoon? No, they're all warm just put in the fridge, there's only room for 8. Ok, I'll wait, when they're cold I'll be offered them surely? No, it never happened. I noticed 6 non hotel guests in for lunch an hour or so later enjoying cold beers though. And outsiders who aren't paying $180 a night are a regular feature, they can just arrive, split one meal and one beer between 3 people and occupy the nice quiet sunbeds for the day  ???? So just get a cheap $50 room down the beach, buy one beer and use the facility. Paying for a supposed exclusive eco sanctuary it isn't, anyone shares it with you. Eco probably accounts for no insect treatment in the rooms or the grounds. We were bitten more extensively in one night than we've ever been by nikniks, ie sandflies. We travel extensively, Africa, Central America, Asia, always well prepared with Deet.  But they knew they had sandflies which aren't put off by Deet, and had the appropriate repellent to hand, they just didn't tell us. When we showed them 30 ugly bites each it was "oh sorry, here's repellent, 800pesos". We have to endure days of ugly red marks itching for £12 !!! Ruin a vacation. At this price knowing you have a problem it should be provided for free. And incidentally it's 600 pesos in the village so they even profiteer on your discomfort, or village had 400 pesos for a smaller one they should provide for free. Then departure.

if you’re looking for a 5-star hotel with air conditioning, polished marble floors, and “room for a pony” vibes like hyacinth bucket, eco sanctuaries probably isn’t for you but if you want peace, privacy, and insane natural beauty, this place is paradise the beach feels straight out of a dream—crystal-clear water, soft sand, and total chill vibes. time slows down here, and the rest of the world just disappears..it’s perfect for recharging and reconnecting with nature. the staff are super friendly and make you feel at home instantly. the food? next level : ) the kitchen absolutely nails it every time, so don’t skip a meal here. oh, and book the 4x4 airport transport—it’s totally worth it and makes everything so much easier 100% recommend this little slice of heaven.

The location was stunning! The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were so accommodating! We booked the 5 course dining experience which was amazing! This was a lovely relaxing retreat!

Nothing, it was perfect!

Perfect location on a quiet part of beautiful Nacpan beach. The staff is helpful, accommodating and so kind. The restaurant also has great and has lots of vegetarian and meat options. Would definitely stay again!

Everything was great!

The staff was super amazing and the whole place has a magical glow. If you are searching for a relaxing place, you have found it here.

- Extremely well located. - The most peaceful place we stayed. - AMAZING PANCAKES AND AMAZING COOK. THE COOK JUST HITS THE SPOT EVERYTIME. - Very good massages - Nice and helpful staff - Clean bungalow

We knew what we were expecting but be prepared for: - sleeping without AC with 29c is HARD - everything was a bit overpriced - we were paying Europe/US prices on every meal when a bit further down the beach were places serving food with more modest prices. - bad WiFi (but it’s a miracle that there actually is WiFi so) - no network (Globe) - bad water pressure (but once again: it’s and eco sanctuary and you should be prepared for it)

We loved everything. As soon as you arrive you feel so safe and in your own little bubble. Eco is in a perfect location, close enough to the bars and restaurants but enough distance to not hear the nightlife.

We loved everything.

It was amazing ! Staff is very helpfull and sweet! The view is something you never forget and we had the front cabin and it is recommended to pay the extra for it. Overall if u want to just relax, disconnect and enjoy the most beautiful sandy beach u should visit. we were there for five days and therefore rented a scooter and drove to el nido city whenever we wanted. it's a nice trip that takes 35-40 min.

The only thing to be Aware of is that is very isolated. The food is very god! But not the biggest choice options
