Excellent. Superb. Great stay! Highly recommended.

I like everything about the Isla. It was our best decision to stay here for few days. We spent 11 days in Palawan and the isla experience has been our favorite and the highlight of our trip. If you really want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Elnido, this is the best place to stay and relax. We spent our New year here, and it was the best decision as well. All the staff are very accomodating and entertaining, (shout out to Hennel). They made sure that the night is full of entertainment(dancing and karaoke) during the new years eve and surprisingly, the served us LECHON.wow! What a great memory we had!

I know that this is an Isla experience, however i did not like that the toilet is too far. Sometimes there will be no water and the toilet was really a mess, the electricity will turn off at a certain time. However, this is already given and was oriented to us prior. Nonetheless, our stay still the best experience.

Enjoyable but overpriced

Enjoyed the activities and the island location. The staff were good, volleyball, workout session and island tour all good fun and the wreck snorkel a highlight.

Access is difficult (don't book an early flight) but we were accommodated well by the staff. No toiletries supplied and four showers to share between everyone. Electricity cut out during the night rendering the fan useless. Two nights is plenty. For the price charged food and drink should be included not extra. No option to pay by card either.

Great experience at the Isla

Really enjoyed our experience at the Isla. We stayed for two nights on Christmas Eve, the vibes were brilliant and it felt so Christmasy even though we was on an island in the middle of the ocean! On Christmas Day we went to the local village to give them presents provided by the isla which was so sweet and such an eye opener. Was a great experience thank you!

Beware that you pay the bill at the end of your stay and it is cash only, no atm on the island. Bill was a lot more than expected

100% recommended and we will def come back (also because to see again these nice people).

We have had an amazing stay at the Isla over Christmas. The whole crew just wants you to make feel as part of a big family - and wow - they succeeded. Throughout the day there are plenty of activities to do ranging from pigs feeding, volleyball, beach workouts, snorkeling to Yoga. The rooms have an fantastic view and everything was in a very close walking distance. If youre looking for an amazing time including perfect island vibe and just want to forget the world around you this is your place to stay.

No value for money

Staff were very nice and accommodating, the place was clean.

Terrible value for money, $200/night for a bed with a fan and a very average shared bathroom. Food should be included for that price, expect to pay another 2000peso/day for average food/activities and then transport back to el nido etc. The location is okay, far better islands around el nido/coron. If you want an island experience, book a 3d/2n island hopping trip from el nido to coron- far superior.

Never stayed after 40 years in Asia in such an expensive bungalow for such a bad quality of service . food is absolutely terrible even for Philippines... 2 spanish volunteers who are supposed to help the local staff and guest were just doing nothing.. they just wanted accomodation for free.. An arabic woman were agressive with some clients during the night..such a bad vibe thanks god we stayed for 1 night

The location, the atmosphere, the personnel, they made us feel welcomed and special. Great snorkeling, beautiful corals on the shipwreck in front, and also a little bit further away. I also liked the activities offered, especially the workouts and the karaoke! And the food was good too!
