Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean cabanas at Cadlao Resort, highlighting the breathtaking views and peaceful location away from the city's bustle. Many appreciate the convenience of the free tuk-tuk service into town. The resort's restaurant, with a fusion of Filipino and Western cuisine, is frequently commended, with some finding the access a little challenging during high tide. especially when riding a motorbike; also some guests reported the breakfast starting too late for those going on tours. The pools are huge and perfect to enjoy the sunset.

free tuktuk good selection

the staff was consistently helpful i especially appreciated the free tuktuk service into town. i found the restaurant offered a surprisingly good selection of meals i ate dinner there twice i tried the kinilaw and the chocolate mousse both were excellent.

the hotel's location made accessing it during high tide a bit difficult especially when riding a motorbike.
