Lagen Island El Nido Resort in Palawan is set in a cove, fringed
by a thick primary forest. The sprawling grounds cover more than
four hectares. Lagen Island is a showcase of El Nido’s flora and
fauna, where trees provide various niches for a diverse variety
of birds and mammals, providing a wealth of opportunities and
experiences for wildlife observation and sightings. At the back
of the resort is a trail that passes through a forest and ends
in a private cove. The Lagen trail is one of the best sites for
bird watching, more rewarding during the early morning or
towards late afternoon. Lagen Island hosts a high diversity of
birds including almost all of the species endemic to Palawan.
Lagen Island Resort has a total of 51 rooms with a variety of
accommodation types to choose from. There are water cottages
built on stilts on both sides of its cove, Beachfront Cottages
with a view of the entire cove and of the sunset, Forest Rooms
and Forest Suites built on the fringes of a tropical forest.
All cottages, rooms and suites have floors made of antique wood,
furnishing made of old wood from old Filipino houses and a
full-height sliding glass doors that open up to a private
verandah, and depending on the room, affords guests with views
of the cove, the cliffs, the bay or the sunset. Each cottage,
room and suite is air-conditioned and has a private toilet and
shower with bath amenities and a hair dryer, a mini-bar, stereo
system with CD player, and IDD telephone.
