Miniloc Island Resort of El Nido Resorts Philippines

We stayed at Lagen Island for two nights. During the first night, we went on a sunset cruise, but the sun did not really show itself, so we were a bit disappointed with that. Although, having a cruise boat all to ourselves was quite of really awesome, which made up for the lack of a beautiful sunset :) We sailed back, had dinner, and slept soundly in our comfy beds.



The next day we were jam-packed with exciting and fun adventures, starting off with a breakfast at another El Nido Resorts property, Miniloc Island Resort, just 30 to 40 minutes boat ride away from Lagen Island. They say it is the introductory resort of El Nido because it costs cheaper but still gives the picturesque and jaw-dropping view and facilities for vacationers.

Lagen Island Resort of El Nido Resorts Palawan

From Apulit Island of El Nido Resorts in Taytay, Palawan, we rode an outrigger boat across Taytay Bay to the town proper, rode 2 hours in a van to El Nido Town, then we finally transferred to a boat which brought us to another haven of tranquility, Lagen Island of El Nido Resorts (as well). It is located in El Nido, in the northwestern part of Palawan, a breath-taking location known for its high biodiversity, lush forested limestone cliffs, and lagoons.



Like Apulit Island, Lagen Island is accessible by a daily 75-minute direct flight on a 19-seater Dornier aircraft from the Island Transvoyager Inc. (ITI) to the El Nido Airport in El Nido, Palawan, then a 40-minute boat ride to the island paradise itself. But for us, we came from Taytay, thus the route stated above.

Apulit Island Resort of El Nido Resorts

Apulit Island Resort, formerly known as Club Noah Isabelle, is the newest property of El Nido Resorts group of eco-island resorts in Taytay, northeastern part of Palawan, an unspoiled location that shows a wealth of wildlife and scenic landscapes. It is nestled within a pristine cove and a backdrop of limestone cliffs.



To go to Apulit Island, it only takes a 75-minute direct flight from Manila via the Island Transvoyager Inc. (ITI) 19-seater Dornier aircraft, which flies daily to Cesar Lim Rodriguez (CLR) Airport in Taytay, Palawan. After reaching the airport you have to take a boat ride from Tamisan Jetty, 10 minute or less ride away from the airport, to Apulit, which takes around an hour or less. Once you arrive at the resort, there will be a welcoming committee who will greet you with a familiar tune, if you’ve been to the other El Nido Resorts properties, the Palawan march and a Cuyonin medley, a lei and refreshments.
