The Qi is a small upper-middle-range resort located on a remote beach in northern mainland Palawan. Its seven rooms are housed in stand-alone cottages tucked away amid thick tropical forests and built around a charming pool with ocean views. Units are spacious and full of local charm, with bamboo walls, cogon roofs, rustic wooden furniture, and outdoor showers. Some may find the property a little too remote, but the free morning yoga classes, small spa, long sandy beach (beware of the sandflies, though), and free non-motorized water sports make it a great pick for travelers seeking peace and relaxation. The Qi is also one of the few wheelchair-friendly resorts in Palawan. El Rio y Mar Resort offers a similar experience at comparable rates.

Cadlao Resort is a quiet mid-range property located on a rocky beach a 10-minute walk from El Nido town. Its 25 rooms have cute traditional Filipino decor and terraces overlooking the lovely tropical grounds, but some may find the lack of TVs, minibars, and electric kettles a little underwhelming for the price. There are a small spa with outdoor cabanas, a solid restaurant, and two pools, but the property’s best selling point are the striking views of Cadlao and Helicopter Islands that can be had from a few rooms and most common spaces. El Nido Cove Resort offers a similar experience at lower rates, but its location a 20-minute drive from the El Nido town may not be as convenient to some.

El Nido Resorts Lagen Island is an upscale property set amid lush tropical forests and stunning limestone cliffs on a remote island in northern Palawan. There are plenty of outdoor activities available here, including non-motorized water sports, hiking, and island-hopping tours, but the property also offers a quiet beach and a serene pool for those who just want to relax in the sun. Its 50 spacious and elegant rooms have plenty of local character and solid amenities, such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. The spa, fitness center, and kids’ club allow for a relaxing vacation away from it all, but the restaurant, though serving a varied buffet for all three meals, gets mixed reviews. Sister property El Nido Resorts Apulit Island offers a similar experience at lower rates, but Lagen Island is more upscale.
