My friends and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nacpan Beach Resort Glamping (Airbnb Villa), and I must say, the experience surpassed our expectations in every way. Compared to Angkla, where we encountered unfortunate instances of discrimination, Nacpan Beach Resort shone brightly with its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.
Vina, who handled our last-minute hotel pickup arrangements, displayed remarkable patience and professionalism. Our driver, Kuya Arnel, not only transported us safely but also infused the journey with his infectious energy, setting a positive tone for our stay.
Our Airbnb villa, facing the ocean with its own balcony, provided a cozy and comfortable retreat for our group of four. The surprise birthday setup for our friend was a thoughtful touch that added to the overall charm of our stay.
I must extend my sincere gratitude to the staff members who made our experience truly memorable. Laurel and Justine exemplified professionalism, ensuring that our needs were consistently met throughout our stay. Additionally, the Sunmai staff, particularly Ley Ann (apologies if the name is misspelled), were always on hand to assist us, enhancing our overall enjoyment of the resort.
One of the highlights of our stay was the turtle hatching area, where we had the privilege of witnessing the turtles being released into the ocean on both days of our stay. Justine, in particular, deserves recognition for his proactive approach in updating us about the timing of the releases, allowing us to participate fully in this memorable experience.
While our experience was overwhelmingly positive, there were a few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. The restaurant's limited food options, coupled with inflated prices, left something to be desired. Furthermore, there were instances where our food orders were overlooked, leading to slight inconvenience. Additionally, the massage area left a bit to be desired, with masseuses occasionally seen dozing off in the same bed as guests, leaving stray hairs behind. Moreover, the absence of slippers, insufficient hangers, and limited mirrors in our Airbnb villa were minor inconveniences that could be improved upon.
Despite these minor issues, Nacpan Beach Resort deserves commendation for its exceptional service and inclusive atmosphere. Unlike our experiences at other establishments, we never felt marginalized or belittled due to our Filipino heritage. Instead, we were treated with the utmost respect and hospitality, just like any other guest.
In conclusion, Nacpan Beach Resort stands out as a shining example of quality service and genuine hospitality. We are already looking forward to returning next year, eager to once again bask in the beauty of this...

Nacpan Beach Glamping in El Nido is an absolute gem that takes the concept of luxury camping to a whole new level. From the breathtaking views to the exceptional service provided by the staff, our experience here was nothing short of extraordinary.
Upon arriving at Nacpan Beach Glamping, we were immediately captivated by the beauty of the surroundings. The pristine white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush greenery created a picture-perfect backdrop for an unforgettable getaway. The glamping tents were spacious, elegantly designed, and provided all the comforts of a high-end hotel.
What truly sets Nacpan Beach Glamping apart, however, is the exceptional service provided by the staff, with a special mention to Kuya JONEL and kuya guard, i forgot his name, but he is bisaya, large body, 1 inch haircut “semi opaw”. From the moment we stepped foot on the property until the time we left, Kuya Nelson went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. His warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care for the guests were truly commendable. He was always available to assist us with any questions or requests we had, making us feel like valued VIPs throughout our stay.
The amenities and facilities at Nacpan Beach Glamping were top-notch. The beachfront restaurant offered a delectable array of local and international cuisine, prepared with fresh ingredients. Dining while overlooking the mesmerizing sunset was an experience we will cherish forever. The on-site spa provided a tranquil haven for relaxation, and the infinity pool offered a refreshing escape from the tropical heat.
One of the highlights of our stay was the various activities offered by Nacpan Beach Glamping. We enjoyed snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs, kayaking along the coast, and indulging in beachside yoga sessions. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us throughout the activities, ensuring our safety and enjoyment.
Nacpan Beach Glamping's commitment to sustainability is also worth mentioning. They have implemented eco-friendly practices such as recycling, using solar power, and supporting local communities. It's refreshing to see a property that combines luxury with environmental responsibility.
In conclusion, Nacpan Beach Glamping in El Nido is a hidden paradise that exceeded our expectations in every way. The stunning natural beauty, impeccable service, and attention to detail made our stay truly unforgettable.

Read moreLast month (5 - 12 December, 2022) my partner and I stayed at the Nacpan Beach Glamping. For me, it was my first introduction to the Philippines after a 3 day stay in Manila. Overall it was an amazing experience with only highlights.
First of all the staff was very friendly, helpful and professional at all time. The quality of the accommodation (we had tent 12) was very good and everything was maintained well.
At check-in they told us there could (would probably) be bad to very bad wifi connection, but that turned out much better. We only faced issues two or three times during the whole week of our stay.
The food was very tasty, the drinks were top as well.
Regarding animation and side activities, we enjoyed the massage sessions (at a very good rate!) and daily bonfire in the evening. In the beach restaurant/bar there were pleasant live performances from different talented artists.
Also cool is the fact that the glamping side (there is also a hotel and even an airbnb on site) has its own swimming pool with pool bar.
Besides all of the above, the resort has been planted in the perfect location. The beach and area are simply breathtaking. Not too much touristic and even still very much kinda authentic with beautiful nature. That was a big plus for me.
If you want to go out (what you really should do!), I would definitely recommend signing up for one of the island tours. Go for the El Nido Island Hopping Tour A and if you can, take the private one. It's really not that expensive, especially when you consider the experience that you will get: a private boat trip along the islands and lagoons while you are snorkeling and kayaking, unique beach moments, a crazy BBQ lunch on your boat itself and of course a lot of private pictures and videos. ;-) And maybe most importantly: no stress from any other group members, because it's private, right? :-)
Another last thing that also gave us a very positive impression and feeling about the Nacpan Beach Glamping Resort: their Turtle Hatchery. We've been told this initiative is entirely privately funded by the resort itself. It's really making a difference for the many baby turtles being set free every year.
Last but not least, we would like to thank some specific people at Nacpan: Rica, Rhoda, Shiena, Jonel, Dan(iel), Mike, Vanessa, the GM, the owner, the amazing angles from Massage Angel’s Touch, the security guards, the vendors and of course the doggies.
Well deserved 5 star rating!
Maelina...
