El Nido Palawan's Newest Eco-Luxury Resort, Pangulasian Island, now opens

Last October 15, the Philippines’ newest premier eco-luxury resort, Pangulasian Island in El Nido, Palawan officially welcomed its first guests to its shores, a Taiwanese couple, who were given a grand El Nido Resorts reception by the resort staff, headed by Pangulasian Island’s resident manager Lei Policarpio.



Pangulasian features 42 deluxe villas, which shares a pristine beach almost a kilometer long. It has a swimming pool, gym, spa, resort center with restaurant, library, boutique and a conference room, among other facilities and activities.

The resort mixes contemporary Filipino and cutting edge “green” design with luxurious amenities and impeccable and personalized service, which makes it the ultimate eco-luxury destination in the Philippines.

The Taiwanese couple who were on their honeymoon stayed in Pangulasian for two nights, while the rest of their 8 days stay was split on Lagen Island and Miniloc Island in El Nido, two of the four island resort properties of El Nido Resorts; the last being Apulit Island in Taytay.

Lagen Island Resort's Warm Filipino Welcome

After the 45-minute boat ride across El Nido's Bacuit Bay, we finally arrived at Lagen Island, with a welcoming committee, led by Lagen's resident manager Carmel, waving us in the resort. We were ushered to the clubhouse, where the staff were waiting with a warm Filipino welcome - cold towel, drinks, and smiles - while they were singing a Palawan/ Cuyonin song to welcome and cheer everybody up.



After the orientation, which involves a brief information about Lagen, and El Nido Resorts' environmental sustainability programs, we were sent to relax at our rooms. I was checked in the Forest Room, located where Lagen's forest starts. My baggage followed me to my room after a few minutes.



The next day, I got to see Lagen's Forest Suites, the most luxurious rooms at El Nido Resorts. "Apart from the standard Lagen room amenities, the suites are equipped with TVs and DVD Players for movie viewing, in room safe, a lounge, and a bathtub." All the Forest Suites have a total area of 70 sqm, and each has a Queen bed.



Who would not fall in love with Lagen? It has the perfect scenery, people, and activities to relax, have fun, and escape the toxicity of the city.
