The Vellago resort is a little gem in paradise. We enjoyed every second during our five nights. Already from the beginning, we know it was the right decision. The whole team welcomed us while we approached the resort by boat. The rooms are beautiful decorated and enough space to get some privacy if necessary. The bar and restaurant at the beach have great drinks and special dishes, fresh cooked, even the bread was self made. Every day you have a different menu with local and international dishes. Some day we just relaxed at the resort, some days we made excursions, like the 1 day trip to the island with the speedboat. We have been so impressed about the health of every spot we visited. We got paella for lunch with fresh fruits and drinks. Another day we had a sunset trip to a hidden beach where and got one of the best sunset ever. The whole team is very service oriented and friendly. A big thank to Hirwan. His happy personality and professionalism keeps the whole team together and gave all the guest the feeling to be special and feeling home.

Amazing Stay at Vellago Resort! The entire team were such legends, by the end, we knew everyone’s names. It was like staying with a big happy family. They waved to us as a team when we arrived and when we left! It’s the small things that made it go good - not to mention the big things (the accomodation, food, view, service and the list goes on). Must note: the photos definitely do not do it justice. Vellago Resort truly blew us away! Having traveled around the Philippines, I can honestly say this place is a must-visit. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—Dean and Aiza at the front office were incredibly helpful, and James, Bong, and Kath served up some fantastic drinks at the bar whilst always maintaining the amazing presentation of whatever was ordered. Hats off to Chef Peter and Deth - every meal was spot on. We were super impressed with not only the quality of the cooking but also the produce. A huge shout out to Herwin for taking such amazing care of us and making us laugh constantly. The housekeeping team—Marlon, Rose, and Pheng - kept our room spotless and took whatever opportunity they had when we were not inside to clean everything, change towels, top up water etc. The beach was beautiful and well taken care of by Ronel, Ernie, and Aik, and Captain Jomarmade our island trips super smooth. One last mention to Ryan one of the carpenters that took me for a night dive to collect some fish. Such a great bloke. I couldn’t fault a single thing. Vellago is definitely a place I’ll be recommending and I can’t wait to come back! Thanks again team! Amazing trip

Nothing!! Absolutely amazing!

The staff were extremely friendly and professional in every facit beyond imagination. There was an exceptional attentive to detail from the moment of your arrival to the last day of your stay. The resort has a total of 6 rooms with at least a 20 plus full time staff that resides on-site, providing a round the clock service. Matter of fact, they were so concerned because we had an early flight that they made us breakfast doggie bags to take with us on our way to the airport.

Our room was exquisitely maintained throughout our stay. The bedsheets were changed every day, and every time we came back to our room throughout the day, we found it cleaned and reorganized as though no one had been in it. Their on-site restaurant was one of the best restaurants on the island, matter of fact, we never ate at any other restaurant throughout our 8 days of stay, and the in-house Vellago Resort restaurant had a variety of menu options to choose from. Every night, there was a new menu, and the romantic dinner was nothing short of a fairytale moment. It was so impressive that my spouse was flabbergasted and couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the night.

Staying in Vellago was a dream! A short boat ride from town, beachfront. We staying in Honeymoon suite and deluxe king room and they were pretty similar for the most part but Honeymoon suite had better bathroom and bedding. Views and breakfast were amazing for both. FYI: this us a relax hotel… if you need to go to town it’s about 25 USD roundtrip. We did a private full day tour in their speedboat and it was amazing!!! Amazing lunch, guide and worth the $$ for the boat in comparison to group tours or even private standard boat from town.

The boat transfers were pricey. So plan your stay wisely.

This was the biggest surprise and the best resort I had ever stayed in my life. I choose a little higher in price as for my last day trip to Philippines and I can not describe in words what I felt as soon as I reached the property. Everyone was by the beach waiting for me as if I was family and all the service going on during my stay was exceptional. No words to describe the feeling! I can write a lot about the beauty of the place, the clear crystal water of the sea and everything else, but no words will define the proper beauty of it. For me it felt like my home away from home, like I belonged to that place, and it is all because of the staff, Herwin or Gigi as I prefer better and everyone else, I am very happy I choose to end my celebration of my birthday at your place, I loved every second, I still feel like I can cry from the emotions. Everyone should experience such a great place, spoil yourself, it is worth any penny. I hope I can see sometime soon all of you. Thank you for making my stay the best part of my travel!

Boutique hotel, with only a limited amount of rooms, means the staff get to know you and by the end you feel like family. They greeted us upon our arrival, gave us shell necklaces and washed the sand off our feet. The room was exquisite with so many nice little bits of attention to detail in the interior design. If you like Asthetics, this is the location for you. The food was excellent and having breakfast served on the balcony each morning with a good selection to pick from from the menu will be truly missed and hard to find elsewhere being able to have that view when you wake up and whilst you eat and being able to hear the break of the waves from your own pillow, even with the doors, a window shut is priceless. Daisy, Herwin, and the captain, we were particularly fond of and would be the reason we would come back again. This property is for couples and lovebirds, as we were known to the staff. If you are seeking privacy and a retreat from crowds, this is the place for you.

It’s hard to find anything I didn’t like about the property. The internet speed is not great, however this is due to a cellular only connection as no phone line or broadband connection. Please note - although on the map it looks like it’s possible to to travel by road from the resort to el Nido town or corong corong, the resort is ONLY accessible via private speedboat which is 800 php each way, and curfews apply by 17:30, so you have to factor that cost and limitation into your stay. By Philippines standard, the resort is expensive but my fiancée, a Filipina, and me both agree, that you are paying extra for the location, the privacy and the unrivalled hospitality.

The Vellago Resort staff were excellent. They were very welcoming even though our flight was delayed until the evening. The accommodations were amazing. Having the corals and the beach available to snorkel right in front of the resort was convenient. The view was breathtaking. Dinner was excellent with chef prepared meals. The services such as island hoping using the resort's speed boat and in-room massages provided by the resort were great. Nina, the resort manager, was always available if needed. The breakfast served in the rooms were fresh and tasty. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone!

There are quite a lot of steps so the resort is not handicap accessible. Not that we required it but thinking of other members of the family that might not be able to climb the stairs to the room for future trips.

Simply astonishing! Big shout-out to Gigi for taking care of any detail! We were lucky to be in the Honeymoon Suite - the view is simply amazing, the room is gorgeous in every single detail, the breakfast served at the private balcony is delicious and beautifully displayed, the dinners with tables set on the beach are extremely romantic - the decor of the tables is meticulous. The stuff and service is beyond any expectation! The beach is super crowded due to all the "sardines-tour-boats" (mass-tourism tours that arrive from El Nido Town), but the area right in front of Vellago remains private the entire day! The corals are still pretty (not amazing, but nice variety) and we got lucky in spotting monkeys while swimming to the adjacent beach! That was something totally unexpected considering how crowded El Nido area is. It was really hard to leave Vellago and go back to reality!

We stayed for 4 nights on a leg of our honeymoon in the Philippines. The hotel is absolutely stunning, we pulled up by boat and were just amazed by it! It really feels like paradise and with so few rooms we barely saw other guests! The food was some of the best we had in the Philippines with gorgeous beachfront dining every night and lanterns lighting the shoreline on the beach it was really romantic. Our room and the view was just breathtaking we couldn’t get over it and having breakfast on the balcony brought to us each morning was total luxury. We weren’t bothered at all by the visitors on tours to seven commandos beach as it is far away down the other end of the beach and the hotel keeps beds and swimming area for guests only so don’t let that put you off in any way - book to stay! I had high expectations due to the price point but I would say it was totally worth it! Thank you to all the amazing staff, and the cute resident sausage dogs max and Bella for a perfect stay.

Impeccable Cleanliness and Maintenance: "Rooms were spotless, and the facilities were well-maintained." "The hotel's cleanliness and the staff's professionalism and kindnesses surpassed our expectations." Comfortable Accommodations: "Beds were exceptionally comfortable." Our Beach Villa was the most amazing room on the resort. Herwin & James were certainly the best host we have ever had, we miss them already. Perfect romantic views, everything was just absolutely stunning. Great fresh food, service and the private beach was just breathtaking. We were treated like royalties. We will definitely come back in the future. We loved all the little details they thought off. They deserve more than a 10/10. We love you guys❤️ thank you for giving us the best time of our lives.
