Punta Playa — Restaurant in El Nido

Lucky we ordered quite a few of their entrees and salad which were quite good and we actually did enjoyed their croquettes and Salmon Carpaccio. However once our order the Fideua arrived, everything went down hill from there. It was salty and quite burnt. The Prawns which cost around 400 plus came in a tiny plate with 5pcs of prawns and also salty. What made it worsts was their Churros. For its price of 420 php for 3pcs of churros, the churros itself was bad. It was hard (i can barely bite it with my front teeth as im worried to damag them) and the dipping sauce was were 1 chocolate sauce and a condensed milk! For a place like that you dare served a condense milk as a churros dipping sauce? Also the churros when i asked if its home made, your team said its actually FROZEN PRODUCT ORDERED FROM A SUPPLIER. For its price, you could have done better. To be fair, your team were nice enough to offer not to pay for the churros but we insisted to pay as we're worried that it will be charge to them. The service was above our expectations. I wasnt thinking of writing this review. However, the 3 of had some tummy upset this morning and we suspect it was from one of the food that we ate from this resto. Its a shame that its well located just right at the front beach of Lio and the service were outstanding, but the food...

I had the pleasure of dining at Punta Playa Mediterrasian Cuisine during my visit to Lio Beach in El Nido, and it was an exceptional experience! The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the stunning beach views.

The menu is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavors, offering a unique twist that truly tantalizes the taste buds. I started with gazpacho, which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I opted for the seafoos paella which was great! The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and each dish was cooked to perfection.

The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations based on my preferences.

What I appreciated most was the ambiance—dining with the sound of the waves and the gentle breeze made for a truly memorable meal. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends, Punta Playa Mediterrasian Cuisine is the perfect spot.

I can't recommend this restaurant enough! If you find yourself in El Nido, make sure to stop by Punta Playa for an unforgettable...

I came here to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The reception staff was welcoming and professional, and we really appreciated the helpful recommendations provided. Unfortunately, our experience with one of the servers was disappointing. During our visit, the server appeared inattentive toward me and directed all of her attention exclusively to my partner. While I understand that service styles can differ, the lack of acknowledgment felt dismissive and unprofessional.

That said, the food was excellent — the tuna carpaccio, sizzling garlic shrimp, and the bottle of wine we ordered were all fantastic. The live band added a great atmosphere and really enhanced the evening.

6/11: to respond to the owner: we were there on June 7th around 7pm, we changed seats once to stay away from construction site so we ended sitting very close to L’assitte and right next to the 4 German people table in front of the band. I didn’t catch the lady server’s name as she never once has eye contact with me so I can’t really see her name tag if there was one. I tried to reach out to you in IG with a screenshot of your respond, if you have any questions please contact me via DM (I don’t know if Google review allows us for more...
