“Cadlao Resort And Restaurant captures a quiet corner of El Nido, removed from the bustle yet readily accessible, offering individual bungalows with terraces angled toward Cadlao Island. Its trio of pools and the lure of the on-site Jinjer restaurant-known for its high-quality ingredients-create a self-contained escape. I think the traditional spa treatments, using organic products, add a thoughtful touch to the experience.”
