[1] Canopy Villas
It was a blissful stay. We had our own villa on the treetops. Personally, I prefer this to the beach ones. We had the beach casita before, and I always had to make sure sand doesn't make its way to the bed or the bedroom floors. Haha. At least, with the canopy villas (treetop), your feet will dry off as you walk to the top.
There's the occasional monkey visit to our terrace, but I pretty much prefer that than reptile ones by the beach. Haha.
[2 & 3] View and Food by the Sea
Pardon the weird photo. I was testing our cheapo wide angle phone lens. But you get the idea. You dine by the beach with a roof on your head and you can hear the waves crashing.
One of our favorite menu item was this miso chicken pizza. It has the perfect hint of salt and sugar in it. Yum!
During breakfast, you can eat al fresco inside their dining hall with a fully loaded buffet that starts inside and overflows to the veranda.
You can have this view while you eat.
[4] The Lagoons
Lagoon visits are a must when you travel to El Nido. Pangulasian Island Resort gives complimentary tours to these wonderful places. I think my jaw dropped when I saw the lagoons of El Nido.
[5] The Arts and Crafts Scene
We were welcomed with palm leaf necklaces when we arrived. The crafter in me wanted to learn, so I asked the staff if I could.
One of them taught me. It was pretty easy and so fun!
I also learned how to make anklets using these beads.
See? The string we used was what fishermen use to make their nets. How awesome is that?
[6] The Staff
They are one of the friendliest people I've ever met. It's always a treat to talk with them about the resort, how they came to work there and maybe a little showbiz chismis on the side, but not too much.
[7] Sustainability
The resort gave us reusable water bottles, small canvas pouches and bayongs to store our stuff while trekking the island. It's one of their ways to promote waste reduction. They whole island has its own sewage treatment plant where they reuse the water to flush the toilets. Oh, and for those who asked about the canvas tote, that one is a gift from Pine Sol. I need to change the monogram though.
