Things to do in Taytay
1. Flower Island Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 135 reviews
Rustic luxury and the perfect hideaway
Reviewed By MissAM12Can't be any happier for choosing Flower Island for our first beach trip since the pandemic! We were fully relaxed, the staff took care of everything, and the place was absolutely amazing. BOOKING: We got the 4D/3N package which included the two-way flight, land and sea transfer, full board meals, and water activities back in April but had to rebook multiple times due to travel restrictions. Dealing with the reservations officer was hassle free and she was very helpful & responsive to all our inquiries. LOCATION: Only about 1.5 hrs. away from the new El Nido airport! It was close enough to the mainland but secluded enough for privacy. We also felt very secure despite the remoteness. TRANSFERS: Since everything was arranged by the resort, we were off to the island in no time. Van and boat experience were both smooth and convenient. Bottled water, life vest, and towels were provided in the speedboat. Each took about 40 mins., both through scenic routes. ACCOMMODATION: Pristine, comfortable, and spacious! The shower area was our favorite; it was extremely spacious and had two sinks. There were a lot of outlets in our villa so charging our gadgets wasn't a problem. Loved that our villa faced the sea and had great spots for lounging. Pillows were comfortable but the mattress was a bit too firm for our liking. Nevertheless, we appreciated the daily turndown service. Also, if I may add, water pressure was great and there were no brownouts/electric interruption which is quite common when vacationing in Palawan. FOOD: Everything was divine! Contrary to older reviews here, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and made use of fresh ingredients. We loved the balance of vegetables, seafood, and chicken plus great carbs in the form of pasta, bread, and the occasional rice (we opted for this only for our breakfast set). Servings were hefty and I can't remember a dish we didn't like. They also brew their own coffee and it was great each time. STAFF and SERVICE: One of the best things about our stay in the island were the helpful and caring staff! We were the only guests in the island and they took care of us so well w/o being overbearing. They were so thoughtful and made sure we were comfortable and that we're able to maximize our stay. They put out sunbeds at the beach for us and offered to take us to a great snorkeling site just when we thought we can't do any water activities due to the weather. There was an LPA the night before and morning was quite gloomy but we're glad we trusted them when they said the weather would take a 180-degree turn by the time we finished breakfast. They were right and we're glad to have taken a short boat ride to the snorkeling site to see corals, fish, clams, and a turtle! My companion's not a good swimmer but they kept her company and made sure she enjoyed paddling around the area. They even picked up sea urchins for us to enjoy at the boat...fresh uni with beer on a sunny weekend, how perfect! The staff was great and made our stay truly special. We can't wait to go back with friends and show what the island has to offer.

We offer from fan rooms to air conditioned rooms with TV and private toilet and bath.
Not great but friendly staff
Reviewed By aljax83We went here on recommendation. The staff working were super friendly. Unfortunately the service wasn’t that great and the food took a long long time to come out even though it wasn’t that busy. The food was ok... reasonably priced.
3. NoaNoa Island
Overall Ratings
5 based on 90 reviews
One of the few places in the world where you can snorkel straight off the beach with a natural coral reef just four metres from the shore. You can book the entire island or just book a room. When there is more than one booking on NoaNoa, it is strictly child-free (no kids under 16) except if you rent the whole island. With a maximum of only 6 guest rooms, NoaNoa Island is for those that are seeking an alternative to the typical 5 star resort. Exclusive privacy is not the only difference: minimalist design, a staff that truly cares, authentic natural beauty of the island and a stunning coral reef.
NoaNoa--the experience of a lifetime...literally
Reviewed By ariballonoffOh my. That’s all I have to say. Not sure how in the world we ended up at Noanoa, but it is a place I will never forget. I stumbled upon this place in a state of desperation while I was trying to plan our Philippine segment of the trip. After sending >10-15 emails to various hotels and travel agencies in the Philippines with absolutely no response, I was reading about the best places to snorkel in the Philippines and NoaNoa island was at the top. The website had a WhatsApp number, so I gave it a shot. Che answered!!! Hallelujah—I was able to speak with a human about the Philippines. She was not only helpful about her island (yes, she and her husband Andy own the island), but she helped me navigate the rest of our Philippines segment, so I figured why not, let’s stay at NoaNoa—not really realizing what an adventure just getting there would be. We drove 4 hours from Sabang beach in a van driven by Tim. After a wonderful lunch in Taytay, with an amazing view of Taytay bay, we boarded a boat to NoaNoa island. Half way through our 45 minute boat ride, I began to be a bit uneasy about the fact that our american family ended up on a boat in the middle of the Sulu Sea heading to an island that we frankly knew nothing about. Judging by the previous place we stayed (Daluyon at Sabang beach), which had been ravaged by the typhoon and barely had the food service running, we could be heading straight into a disaster. Well…it was as far from a disaster. This place seems almost impossible. There are 10-15 people working full time on the island just to keep it running. It has about 120 feet of vertical rise, making it quite an interesting area. There is a spa at the top of the island, a main house ½ way up, a guest house (where we are staying, about 50 feet up from the ocean overlooking the Sulu Sea), workers quarters, a private separate house (used by Andy/Che when the island is busy and the main house it taken), and the restaurant/bar area. Each structure is embedded in the lava rock and perched on cliffs/steep hillsides. Perhaps even more impressive are the trails around and through the island, all handmade rock/concrete paths strewn together with vertical staircases, 2 suspension bridges, and floating walkways. The gardens are immaculate and everything is maintained to a “t”. I cannot imagine how much work this place must take to maintain. The food is unbelievable. They literally give you more than twice the amount that is needed, everything made impeccably from scratch. The service is unreal, something I have never experienced anything even close to this level of service. Everything is included—glass bottomed kayaks, top of the line snorkel gear, SUPs—whatever you want. But, none of the aforementioned things are why we came here. We came here in hopes of seeing a vibrant coral reef in its prime. The day we arrived at 5 pm, Andy and Che whisked us up and got us into the water. The coral/fish are thriving, abundant, driving us to the point of tears to see something this full of life. There are giant clams with technicolor flesh, black tipped reef sharks, 4 foot turtles, stingrays, octopus, and endless and abundant varieties of coral and fish. I am so happy we all had this opportunity to see life thriving in our current world full of decimation of fragile environments. I can confidently say that Noanoa is an experience I will never forget and likely one that I will never be able to replicate. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone who wishes to experience nature at its finest in absolute paradise.

" Come to Casa Rosa for a taste of the real Palawan. Not a big tourist spot, just real people, big smile, best food and comfortable accommodation"
Great staff, missing the final piece
Reviewed By aljax83Ate here a few times. Views are great over the harbour and fort. The staff are very friendly. Not 100% sure they understand. We asked for specific items on a pizza and got something else. Was a really bad vegetarian pizza... when we asked where the olives were for the pizza she replied yes, walked off and never returned....?

Pangulatan Beach Resort is a typical beach resort in paradise of Liminangcong Taytay-El nido Palawan, known as the best island in the world, found just outside in El Nido. The Resort is 25 minutes away from famous and gorgeous lagoons, islands and diving spot in El Nido. Enjoy the white sand beach, relaxed at the infinity pool and just walk the romantic pier of our resort.
Don't even try - horrible
Reviewed By Tamás VThe road to this hotel is beyond your wildest ideas. We knew what we were up to (~ 2 hours from El Nido with minibus - 21 km dirt road from the highway) so we rented a jeep. I drive off-road but seriously, don't even try to drive here without a 4x4, not even if the road is dry. Scooter is out of question, off-road bike maybe if you are an experienced driver. There is no other way in our out to the hotel other then this one road so prepare to stay once you've arrived. If you plan to leave you can only order transport what is costly. The staff... Many comment praise the staff. We had a very bad experience. I think regular travelers knows the feeling that you're only counted as "guest" if you buy everything from the hotel and spend all your day at the bar. We did spend quite an amount there (had coctails, beers, dinner, breakfast every day, went to a hotel trip, etc..) still we were basically ignored. Especially the manager (?) Jason who does not every look up from his cellphone when talking to us what happened several times and unbelievably disrespectful. I think thigs went wrong after the first day when Jason tried to scam us with a tour. On our first day we went to El Nido Tour C from the hotel. The prices are hanging on the wall in the bar for all tours. We payed +400P each as there is the tourist enviromental permit + an entrance fee to one location. That is actually true so we paid the 1600P each for the tour. When we arrived back he tried to ask for the entrace fee again and when I told him we've paid that already he just left us standing there with no explanation. Also when I asked for the copy of the permit (as we planned to take more tours - not from the hotel and the permit is valid for like 10 days or so) he just refused to give it to us. Not even sure if they purchased it or just took the money. If you complain about anything (dirty room, clogged shower, no water in the shower...) they just totally ignore you and don't do anything. We had no toilet seat for a weak, our shower was clogged since day one - told the staff 3 times 3 days, every time they said they will come and have a look, nothing happened. I did not try from the 4th day... The food and drinks are actually OK - but very much overpriced by local standards. Guess due to the remote location taking advantage that there are no alternatives around. The restaurant is VERY slow. Expect 25-30 mins for an omlette and 1+ hour for a main course. Once you are in the hotel you're stucked as pratically there is nothing to do there. The beach is dirty, the water also, no snorkeling in the bay as it's dirty, corals are dying and there is only seagrass. The hotel texted one day before our arrival that the pool is not operational due to leaking. Well, that pool is not operational for like 5 years. That is uncorrect to say 1 day before arrival when we booked 2 months ago. There is NO ELECTRICITY from the morning till late afternoon. If you don't wake up early enough forget morning shower as hot water requires electricity. Also no water either if the ballast tanks are empty. WIFI is available but only in the bar and it is poor quality.

Located near the town and walking distance to Fort Isabelle, market, municipal amphitheater and Etc.
Nice place but accept a lot of locals in the pool
Reviewed By jochemvanrijnNice hotel, rooms and food. Well speaking english service. The only thing is that you have to accept a lot of local jelling playing children in the pool in the afternoon until late. A mini-vsn can pick you up from this hotel to go to the next town.
