Would come back every year

Playa Encantada is the perfect gateway is you want to have a bungalow right in front of the sea and be with nature. You can hear birds all day long and no one is going to bother you. The staff is amazing and the food is really good! If you are looking for a really perfect place to reset and rest, this is it.

A family away from home

Playa Encantada Is a family owned business by a Filipino and Italian family. They made sure that I had the most amazing stay and the most amazing birthday ever. I met a family that that has such a big heart and is willing to go the extra mile for me even when I was by myself on the other side of the world away from my own family. I'm so beyond grateful for the most amazing food that they prepared with love and joy. I wish to come back here again because they just provide the most amazing hospitality I've ever come across. I'm going to say amazing one more time because that is THE only way I can describe my experience staying here.

A perfect paradise

This place is incredible!! Our favourite place we have ever stayed. The food is beautiful, all local and fresh every day. The staff are so helpful and make you feel so at ease. Most of all it’s so peaceful and serene. We arrived here and didn’t leave for 5 days. The perfect place to relax, snorkelling and read in between beautiful beautiful meals. We will 100% be back again!!

A piece of paradise

The place is wonderful for prople who love nature, relaxation and peace. The stuff was excellent, the owners Rochelle and Alberto were very warmhearted and always ready to help. We were very happy with the lovely dogs Brownie, Snow and Danta and the cat Tiger. The food was very delicious, every day different fresh seafood and lovely mango tiramisu. We had an excellent fishing experience and we learned a lot for the local fishing technique and different kind of fishes in the sea. Thank you very much to Rochelle, Alberto. Mabella, her husband and the whole stuff! We will recommend the lovely place to everyone and will come back with pleasure. We felt like we were at home.

Great Staff, Disappointing Resort

The absolute highlight of our stay was Mabel. She went above and beyond for every guest and truly made a difference. Without her, we honestly would have left early. She created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere and made our evenings enjoyable. The rooms themselves were also fairly okay—nothing special, but acceptable.

If you are looking for quiet castaway vibes, this place is for you. The staff are super helpful and lovely, they will organise trips, massage, transfers while you search the horizon for boats and pick up dreamy shells from the beach shore. The evenings were chilled and the mornings relaxing...

The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful for everything. They helped us organise the tour C in El Nido, as well as the transportation from and to the resort. The animals were lovely, especially the oldest cat ❤️ and the view was beautiful, especially during sunrise. And the food… absolutely insane… It was so good that my partner and I felt sad to leave the resort.

Playa Encantada was absolutely amazing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and we were delighted by the location with stunning views at our doorstep. The villa offered a generous sized room with a porch for us to sit and take in the surroundings and the food available at the restaurant was fresh and delicious, we ate there every day. It was a very peaceful stay, surrounded by a lovely accompany of animals to fill our sphere as we took in this wonderful place. We'd definitely find ourselves gravitating back should we end up wandering this part of the world again.
