    Prefixed menu daily. Not a lot of food options but the food was good.

    This is a dream spot on a dream beach. It was our favorite beach in all of Palawan and we stayed two months exploring the island. We had three kids with us (1yr, 4yrs, and 6yrs) and they all enjoyed the beach. It’s super shallow at the shore ankle deep, then gentle waves below the knee, then bigger waves as u get out further to surf and play for bigger kids. We saw turtles that hatched. Lots of games to play. Surf lessons.

    Nothing! Even the "forced" times to unplug from electricity and the internet was initially an adjustment but much needed to really enjoy the place.

    Really enjoyed the location, right by the beach and it was remote enough that it was very quiet and relaxing. Also loved the staff and the owners were very personable and helpful. Definitely a great place to unwind and unplug.

    We’d have loved a bit more choice when it came to meals, but overall still quite good.

    This is a truly remarkable place where you wake up to the amazing sunrise by the beach, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The scenery is simply stunning and offers a genuine connection with nature. The staff are exceptionally well-trained, offering service comparable to European standards—always friendly, courteous, and accommodating. During our two-week stay, we hired a scooter which made it easy to explore El Nido town and the surrounding areas at our own pace. As an eco-friendly resort, guests are encouraged to embrace a sustainable lifestyle, which adds a sense of purpose and adventure to the experience. Do come prepared with plenty of mosquito repellent—it’s essential! We spent much of our time snorkelling, which was absolutely brilliant. We were lucky enough to see turtles, baby corals, puffer fish, and a colourful array of tropical fish swimming in vibrant schools. Max and his wife were incredibly warm and attentive hosts, ensuring we were well looked after throughout our stay. The quality of service was top-notch. For those seeking a bit more activity, surfing and kayaking are also available for hire.

    Of you book your own tricycle you will be lugging your suitcases down the beach, eventually they came to help.

    Excellent but short stay. Amazing location on pristine Beach. Let us checkin in early to make most of our short stay. Helped us book our forward transport.

    To be honest, nothing.

    All round exceptional. This is the best hotel I've been to (and I've travelled a lot) if you want an off grid holiday somewhere peaceful, on a beautiful beach, super friendly team and owners. If you have a good book and like the ocean, you'll be happy here for days. There is intermittent cell signal (but strong signal with both smart and globe five mins up the beach). Starlink for much of the day. Battery powered fans and lights in the bedroom. Generator (not noisy) during day for charging devices and battery packs. You can absolutely remote work here. I loved how friendly the other guests were. It meant I could dip in and out of hanging in the cafe and reading my book or chatting to them and the owners. Very safe, with owners sleeping on site plus overnight security. Top tip, chat to owners before you book about what you want to get up to. They are amazing and will give you a frank answer about whats possible/realistic. Ultimately this isn't a five star all inclusive resort - it's a bit bouncy to get to and you don't have air con etc. But gosh it's amazing. I wish I'd stayed longer.

    The Duli Beach Resort is pure paradise! It had me questioning my life decisions lol. The owners are amazing and the facilities are very comfortable. It’s a wonderfully remote experience and a true getaway from the busy world we all live in. The surf there is so glassy and clean when there are waves. The water was warm and pristine. Honestly I didn’t want to leave but they were all booked up so I made another booking for a few days later 😂. Thank you for your hospitality and welcoming environment 🙏🏄‍♀️🏖️

    The kitchen was efficient and fast but perhaps a couple more food options? There was usually 3-4 meal options for lunch and then something for dinner but maybe a couple more options. Oh and dessert since we are all on holidays :) Otherwise we loved it all!

    The location is gorgeous, tucked away at the end of the beach in a quiet location with a gorgeous bay view. The owners are a lovely couple who have poured their heart and soul into making and sharing this special location. We didn't expect this last stop of on our journey to be our favourite. Gorgeous little cottages that have been thoughtfully constructed to the finest details in the bathroom and amazing use of sail material for the walls. A great team including the surf teachers who are on site. In our five stays on the island, this location, hotel and team were hands-down our favourite. Keep up the great work guys, you have made something special that we already miss!

    One of the absolute highlights of our Palawan trip. A hidden gem, off the beaten track. We enjoyed everything about our stay. Surfing conditions great for longboarding. The place is run with very high standards and the beach bungalows are nice, the staff is friendly and helpful, food is great and the beach is amazing.

    No complains. Amazing place. Will come again if visiting El Nido. Good to be aware that wifi is not available during the night.

    Descrete resort at amazing beach. Friendly and helpful owners. Sustainable (electricity produced by solar panels). They have hatchery for turtles helping the population and releasing regularly just hatched turtles into the ocean. Food is the best in the neighborhood.

    Not enough time spent there :-)

    Truly remarkable experience - amazing long beach for walking/running, we had 2 days of stunning 2,5m high waves & incredible surfing challenge :-) It was interesting experience to stay in this semi-offgrid spot. The house rocks! but 1st night was not easy to sleep due to breaking noise of waves, finally we regret we stayed there 3 nights only. Thanks to Max and the Family, truly recommend the host & place itself!

    We had no negatives about this property at all. People should be aware it is a remote location, therefore wifi and electricity can be limited at times, particularly over night, and showers being warm vs hot. You’re also right on the beach, so expect the beautiful sound of waves throughout the night. This may not be for all, but they actually made our stay even more unique.

    Staying at the Duli Beach Resort was definitely a highlight of our trip. The beach was stunning and well maintained on a daily basis by the staff, which we hadn’t seen in other places. Access to the turtle hatchery as well as watching baby turtles be released daily was a one of a kind experience and made this an unforgettable stay. The beach villa was well kept and had all the essentials you would need. Very tasty breakfasts and lovely home cooked meals were well priced and the staff were incredibly nice. The perfect beach get away - you will be able to truly switch off here. A special thank you for the host and his family for making us feel so welcome - we felt right at home!

    We had the most amazing stay at Duli Beach Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest, most welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home. The accommodations were spotlessly clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a relaxing stay. I absolutely loved that the huts are right on the beach-waking up to the sound of the waves and having easy access to the beautiful shore was a dream! The food was another highlight-every meal was delicious, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that left me wanting more. They even bake their own bread which is delicious! What truly sets Duli Beach Resort apart, though, is their incredible commitment to conservation. I loved that they rescue turtle nests and release baby turtles daily. It's so inspiring to see how dedicated the team is to preserving the local wildlife. The resort has a truly laid-back vibe, and the combination of great food, wonderful hosts, and a pristine beachfront location made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend Duli Beach Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway!

    Duli Beach Resort was an amazing and memorable part of our Philippines trip. The location is exceptional, you are in the middle of nowhere on the most beautiful beach. The roar of the sea was the constant soundtrack to our stay. The hut was large and comfortable, the welcome was warm, food in the restaurant was simple but tasty. This is the place to come to if you are looking for pared back adventure. Bring deet for the sandflies. You can't see them or feel them biting, it's only later you realise they got you.
