Gorgeous island and a 5 star property. The advantage of this side of El Nido (Taytay) is that there are no other resorts in the area. You are always alone on trips to small islands or diving. Water activities are easy, such as snorkelling, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding. There are also many on land activities, such as hiking, rock climbing. We stayed in the loft unit area. It was a nice run in the morning along the shoreline and into the west beach. The beach is deserted, just you and the nature.

The resort is beautiful. It is very quiet so it is perfect for some R and R. It also offers a variety of activities so your days can also be quite full if you choose. Everything is perfect in Apulit. If there is anything, the food needs to be improved. The quality is there, it is the cooking talent that needs to be worked on. The transfer the island is long and the waters can be choppy. Potential guests should know this

Apulit was beautiful! The staff were so friendly and very helpful. My husband had an ear infection while there and the Resort doctor, Dr Ina was so helpful with his ear issue. We enjoyed Chef James choice of food. The food was amazing and since I’m a vegetarian, there were so many choices for me. Jeff and the staff during our dining were so nice and helpful. We didn’t have any issues at all with the dining experience. I had never paddle boarded before and Raul was so helpful in getting me started with the activity. Overall, it was a great experience! We hope to go back soon!

Everything about the resort is very good. The staff was very welcoming. Service was friendly without being too much. The resort was full when we were there but you wont feel it at all. The island was of course very beautiful and quiet.

I had an amazing experience at Apulit Island. It's on a private island of Apulit, which is self sustaining and protects the animals on the island. Everything you need is on the island including a 24/7 doctor. The staff there are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Every meal is delicious! My experience here was absolutely phenomenal 10/10. The daily activities are incredible. There is never a dull moment on the island. Peaceful and relaxing. They assisted us everything under the sun. I will definitely stay here again.

Adventure and Relaxation!
Excellent resort! Beautiful remote island with plenty of outdoor water activities and excellent reefs for snorkeling. Water is crystal clear and pristine! Great balance of activities and relaxation. Rock climbing and rappelling is a must do! Also, one of the best massages I've received at their Spa. Service was excellent and at the end of the trip we felt like family! I would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to return again!
