A perfect place full of imperfections. This place needs a major renovation! Isolated which is perfect if you want to get away .. but limited options available there.. ! I love the people and staff .. but would I stay there again? Not likely!

I give this resort an overall rating of excellent because the staff and the views compensated for the negatives of which there were a few. Bottom line is it’s no 5 star, probably more like a 3 but the views were stunning and well worth it.

Stranded
The only advantage this place has is location. I say this because there is a beautiful view and beach water front. The cabanas are old and need refurbishing. The bathroom tiles are broken and the water pressure is poor. They are dark, dirty, and uninviting. The pool area is almost unusable. The furniture has no cushions and looks old and weather beaten. The pool water is straight out of the sea and is so cloudy I question the bacterial health of the water. Although the staff is friendly we never really knew who to ask for what. Always trying to find someone to answer our questions. Food service is disorganized. Simple thing like water, salt/pepper, hot water, napkins have to be sought after. The only way to get off property is a rocky road by golf cart (10 min) or 20 minute walk down the beach to the vanilla beach area. Neither of these are a good idea after dark, so you are pretty much stuck here for dinners. For the price I think there is better value elsewhere.

Love love love this resort! The stay and hospitality was more personalized! The staff were all accommodating and friendly and easy to deal with! We had the romantic dinner at the dock with a beautiful setup. This place is very underrated out of all the resorts in El Nido seems like. Nothing can beat the calmness and relaxing environment after going around town. Our vacation felt really slow and breathable in this place which was all we could ever ask for. Thank you Dolarog! We are definitely coming back!

My wife and I spent our honeymoon there. We had a wonderful time it was exactly what we had hoped it would be and then some. The restaurant is excellent staff,food,service etc. For me I have no problem with pets but i must say when I'm having dinner i'm not a fan of having a dog resting his chin on my table while I'm eating. The pets shouldn't be allowed to roam around the restaurant while you're guests are trying to enjoy their meal.I think many of your future guests would feel the same way. And for some it might be a deal breaker for retutun bussiness as well as referrals. As for us we just asked the staff to take the dogs away from our table and they quickly did so. Just our thoughts.

I vacationed at Dolarog Beach with my girlfriend for 6 days. If you’re looking for an exotic, off the beaten path, quiet place on the beach, with a very friendly and courteous staff, you will absolutely love Dolarog Beach Resort. But if internet connectivity and air conditioning are necessities (as it was for me), think twice about this resort. Although there is free WiFi in the common area (the restaurant/bar area) I could not download a movie and barely send a work email. Although there was an air conditioner in the room, it was rendered nearly ineffective as the room/bungalow lacked insulation (if you freak out over bugs & creepy crawlers, you will have difficulty relaxing at this resort). The kitchen produced good food, but even though I love pets, the dogs in the dinning area detracted from my enjoyment of the food, and my tolerance was stretched.

The staff was so friendly and extremely accommodating. They truly made us feel apart of their resort family. The beach was very private (just how we liked it) but if your looking for something with a little more night life or more restaurants, your only a 15min walk up the beach. We can't wait to come back in the near future!

Outside of El Nido town, so relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful beach and views, walkable to Vanilla Beach. Owner of the Dolorog Beach Resort brought us to the pick up area for the tours and came to pick us up always on time. We requested fresh coconuts and the next day it was delivered to our cottage. Staff are super! Will definitely stay there again!

Beautiful view, this property is in need of management. Each issue that came up was addressed by line staff employee. Requested upgrade because our unit didn’t have TV. Room move but TV had no signal and they were unable to repair. Stayed one night out of three. On the bright side, Both female employees were helpful and the attentive. By the way we were the only guests staying at the property.

This place is beautiful. 10 minute boat ride from the town, tucked away in its own haven. The staff are amazing - in particular Joy who from the moment we were greeted nothing was too much trouble. Also easy to walk along the beach to some lovely restaurants and bars. Highly recommend.

From the moment we landed, our bus driver sir edwardo was incredibly kind and accomodating, he went out of his way to find us a local restaurant at the boat pick up spot- the captain and his crew waited for us to have lunch before taking us to the resort where we were welcomed by the beautiful staff who had arranged for the room to be covered in rose petals, two bottles of wine and an incredible bouquet of flowers shipped from puerto Princesa at my request. The cabin was incredibly clean, comfortable and quiet...even though we were there during wet season and whilst a typhoon was building up. We had nothing but beautiful service from our new friend and beautiful waitress Zharlaine, who was happy to help in any way possible to make us feel happy and comfortable. The manager matteo and his beautiful wife were incredibly relaxed and welcoming the entire stay, and went out of their way to go buy us board games because of the weather. The women who do massages and clean were so lovely and kind and talented....I honestly have absolutely nothing to fault about this place. The food, the service, the atmosphere were all amazing. My partner and myself felt as if it was our home almost instantly. For anybody who loves to get away from all the hustle and bustle and just wants to enjoy nature and relax, I would tell them to stay here. We will be returning to stay here whenever we choose to holiday in el nido. Thank you to all the beautiful staff who made our holiday amazing

This resort is located outside El Nido town, 15 minutes by boat. The views from the resort are amazing, but after a couple of days it feels a bit isolated, especially if you need to buy something in the town - the hotel provides free boat transfer on check-in and check-out day, but other than that a boat ride to the town will cost you $30. Dinner is fixed menu, but don't worry about that, the staff will do their best to fulfill your meal preferences. The resort also organizes half-day boat tours, we had the opportunity to take Snake Island tour and really enjoyed it. Also, bear in mind that El Nido has regular power cuts, make sure that you juice up your powerbanks because the electricity is available from 6pm until midnight.
