My husband and I went to Cauayan resort for our honeymoon and we stayed for 4 nights.
Cauayan resort is on a private island and offers the feeling of exclusivity. Staff were attentive and friendly, atmosphere of the resort is very relaxing, spa/massage was amazing, and also there are various activities you can purchase.
We did the scuba diving and island hopping package in private boat, which included the well packed lunch we can choose out of 4 different options as well as the scuba diving equipment/lagoon tour equipment. Not to mention, staff knows the best place and time to visit to avoid the high traffic in somewhat touristy area such as big lagoon.
We saw turtles while diving but even at the back of the island, we saw turtle while snorkelling - highly recommend to snorkel around the island!
Food is great however it is worth to note that food, drinks and activities are not included in the payment except breakfast - it does add up.
Transport from/to the airport and Cauayan resort is very easy and convenient.
We stayed at the beach front villa which comes with exclusive use of beach chairs not shared with any other guests - it was definitely worth doing so!
There are couple different types of all-inclusive meal plans - we took option 2 which includes unlimited drinks and 3 course meal for lunch and dinner. Is it worth it? YES 100%, as long as you can eat A LOT! We ate too much and left feeling engorged. If you are planning to drink and eat all day by the pool, its definitely worthwhile, but again, its a lot of food and definitely something we could not do everyday (We did 2nd day and 4th day only, you can choose the days you want to do though).
Overall, my husband and I both wondered if we experienced the best too early - El Nido is heaven on earth and Cauayan and the staff left us even better memories and experience!
