  1. It was an excellent vlog that required a lot of effort, thank you for sharing it 👍🏻

  2. Great video once and again. It is quite scenic but way overpriced for the quality based on the video. Thanks for sharing

  3. Thank you sir for another great video tour. This is the first resort in the Philippines I have ever viewed.The first thing people should know is that this is NOT for the physically challenged. I thought the price was fair though I didn't think the amenities were that great, though any gyn that has a rowing machine gets my vote. Food prices were good and the selection was amazing. would love to have croque monsieur while on vacation. Thank you again for all your working filming, editing, and adding those English subtitles.

  4. An absolute beautiful and stunning place. Thank you very much for allowing us to travel with you. Best regards from Switzerland 🇨🇭😊

  5. It is very expensive 😭😢.. I can't afford that price my whole life for a vacation and I am from the Philippines.

  6. Realmente es hermoso, lo vivi viendo tu video, increible lugar, fantastico trabajo, te sigo desde hace tiempo y e conocido tantos lugares gracias a ti,saludos desde Cancun México, hope one day como to my place, i thing you visit Cancun, rigth?

  7. Based on what I have seen globally, this resort misses the mark for me. Especially for the price. I think the staff member who walked you to your room could not have been more disinterested (or so it appears). I was hoping he would have given you some information about the island. The rooms were okay, but the place overall looked dated and untidy. Again, I say this because of the price you pay. The only thing i could think of is that the cost of getting things on and off the island might be extensive.

  8. Not a very sophisticated place. Staff should be more attentive and put down the phone. Hotel is beautiful. I have been to El Nido and find most of the places are not connected with intl payment such as Visa and Mastercard. It is expected to pay with cash in hotel and restaurants and many of the places feels like casual business more than a proper establishment.

  9. Thank you so much for this very comprehensive video! It really showcases the whole Cauayan Island Resort experience – wonderfully done 😍

    We appreciate your comments, and we have taken note as well of your constructive feedback. This video is truly amazing, and we look forward to your next stay with us!

  10. Binge watching your amazing videos! Thank you so much!
    I just hope the quality of the videos in low light condition get better…

  11. Isn’t this the Lagen resort now renamed? It does look dated and not well maintained. Staff are not well trained. Sorry but overpriced.

  12. Really beautiful place, resort and keeped clean at any time.
    Also everything is unreasonably overpriced from Villas to foods and services.

  13. Still dirty for a 5 star hotel. Could have hired a few additional workers to wash the floors… Also renewing painting here and there…

  14. Half dead plants, private hotel rooms with the neighbors right in front of you and a swamp down below. Perfect 5 star hotel, what else to expect? 😅😁

  15. This is too expensive! Does not look as fancy as others in the area. Food prices is outrageous. On other resorts the food is included.

  16. When people make travel vlog this is how they should do it. THis was perfection I appreciate all the hard work you put into it. Thank you.

  17. Cauyan Island is included in my bucket list. Thank you for sharing this awesome video. Watching from Detroit, Michigan USA.
