“Stunning views on the island”

We had the most amazing experience at the Isla experience. We had so much delicious food & the staff were especially great. What an amazing island experience!

“Beautiful destination with amazing staff”

On the positive side, the location is absolutely stunning — a small, remote paradise with crystal-clear waters and a beautiful beach. It’s the kind of place you go to disconnect and enjoy nature. The staff were also exceptional: genuinely kind, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable.

“Incredible snorkeling”

Incredible snorkeling, kind staff, best massage in the Philippines and the huts are beautiful and comfortable. We spent hours swimming above healthy coral reefs with incredible variety of sea life. The sunken ship is full of life and simply amazing. We loved that the beaches were almost empty while one can still walk to 3 other resorts with restaurants. The bathrooms are clean but bring your own soap.

Great stay for a remote island experience

“Incredible staying”

What can I say? Exactly what I was looking for. A kind of paradise where my girlfriend and I had a really unforgettable time. Wish I’ll be back again

I have to say it might not fit everyone‘s standart, but this stay was the best thing we‘ve ever done! It‘s a 5-star experience! It was just perfect, the staff was super nice, the views are incredible and the huts were perfectly fine and had everything you needed. The toilets were always clean! They had a program they always followed and it was just wonderful! It felt like a little family! I can not recommend this place enough. We took snacks with us, because someone said that in the reviews, but we didn‘t even need any. We had some cards with us to play some games and books to read, because there isn‘t much signal. A perfect way to disconnect to reconnect! (There is good wifi at the common area) The dinner buffet was perfect and there was always enough. There‘s also a cooking class. We will be back 100%! A little paradise!

“Perfect for those seeking something beyond traditional”

Staying at Isla – The Island Experience was truly one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment you arrive by boat, you feel like you’re entering a different world — a raw, untouched paradise where everything slows down and reconnects you with nature. Waking up in a beautiful bamboo hut facing the ocean, surrounded by nothing but the sound of the sea and the wind, is simply indescribable. What makes this place even more special is the people. The team goes above and beyond to make you feel at home — always kind, genuine, and full of positive energy. It doesn’t feel like a hotel, it feels like a family. The experience is perfectly balanced: adventure and peace. Snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, discovering marine life just steps away from your hut, relaxing in hammocks, sharing dinners with people from all over the world, and ending the day under a sky full of stars. Yes, it’s a simple and natural experience — but that’s exactly the beauty of it. It’s not luxury in the traditional sense, it’s something much deeper: a luxury of connection, authenticity, and presence. If you’re looking for something real, soulful, and truly unique… this is the place. I will definitely be back.

“Taken by the musuc of the stars touching the ocean and the ground”

Everything was great! Thank you all for the memorable experience and special arrangements making my stay unforgettable from the arrival to departure..

“Pure paradise”

This is a must do when in El Nido. Without a doubt the highlight of our trip.

“Incredible location, wonderful staff, but more of a hostel than a boutique hotel”

The place was really beautiful and honestly such an incredible location. The huts on the beach were so nice, with a really lovely view. The staff was so nice and so helpful. Really amazing people and it was great to chat with them. It was also really helpful to receive all of the information ahead of time, it was very clear and we understood what the place was going to be like in terms of amenities, AC, bathrooms, etc...

Everything was how we hoped it would be. The staff is going over the top to make you feel comfotable. The cooking class in the afternoon👏👏

“We had an amazing stay at Isla, everything was perfect. The site is breath taking, very quite and relaxing. Perfect plac”

We had an amazing stay at Isla, everything was perfect. The site is breath taking, very quite and relaxing. Perfect place to relax and fell like you are in paradise. Food was good and the team is very professional, welcoming and super friendly. Special thanks to Hennel, Joshua, Diana, John and Nora !

“Just perfect ! Living in a dream ! Many thanks for this experience”

Just perfect ! Living in a dream ! Many thanks for this experience

Everything (location, staff, huts in great condition, free activities…) except the food and the available equipment.

“That was an amazing trip and the staff is so Nice and helpful especially Hennel and Josh ( boatman)”

“Impossible not to feel happy here, with all the good vibes!”

Isla’s location is wonderful. Such a beautiful place, and the bungalows are also very nice looking, blending perfectly with the nature. The staff was great without exceptions. Especially Josh made our stay feel safe and incredibly enjoyable. There were silent times making it easy to go to bed at reasonable hours. The family dinner style was also great for getting to know other people, which lead to a far more social atmosphere. The activity plan is also great: with mini cooking classes, village tours, snorkelling and so on.

The property was amazing and had everything we needed. The team made sure we always had activities to enjoy, and the staff were incredibly fun, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. One of the most special parts was visiting the nearby village and meeting the local kids — it made the experience feel even more meaningful. Would definitely come back.

Isla Experience is, without exaggeration, the most incredible place I have ever seen in my life. The island itself is beyond stunning. The photos truly do it justice — but living it in person is on another level. It’s not just beautiful… it’s an experience you feel. Being there is an absolute must. But what really makes Isla Experience unforgettable is the people. The staff are the heart of this place. Mera, Josh, Diana, and the other Josh (who not only drives the boat like a pro but is also an insanely talented tattoo artist!) made our stay something special. We even got a tattoo as a memory of the experience — that says everything. We arrived, and within the first 30 minutes we were already asking to extend our stay by one more night. That’s how quickly this place captures you. 100% recommended. If you’re thinking about going — don’t hesitate. Just go.

“Had a lovely stay people was amazing and friendly”

Views was amazing simplicity and comfort

“Highly recommended!”

The place was absolutely amazing, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The beaches were beautiful, with crystal-clear water that made the whole experience feel magical. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect due to a tropical storm, the staff were simply incredible. They went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed and made us feel like we were staying with friends and family rather than at a hotel. We loved all the activities offered—especially the cooking class, which was fantastic, and the bonfire by the sea while watching the stars. It was such a special and unforgettable experience! Everything about our stay was wonderful, and we would absolutely love to come back again.
