Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- martin hGlossop, UK74 contributionsAn amazing experience. Boat across the bay, short walk through forest, 45 minute boat tour of the first 1.5 km of the caves. Headset info in lots of languages. Very interesting rock formations. Well worth a visitWritten 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matthew KWirral, UK55 contributionsMonkeys, baby black tip sharks, thousands of fish, just breathe taking. On the day out, visiting some of the world's best beaches is worth every penny.
But the blue lagoon was the icing on the cake.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I did enjoy the place with my family, it also offers several options for dine in including few hotels and local restaurants.
I liked the breakfasts in Mad Monkey!
The beach is fully recommended!Written 1 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful corals, whale shark , mantas - all of it happened during our 5 day live aboard on amazing Stella Maris Explorer boat.

- Fazal Mahmud RoniDhaka City, Bangladesh812 contributionsJust 10/12 mins away in Tricycle from El Nido beach. One of the best sunset experience of my life.
After the driver drops you in front of the beach plaza…..just walk through for 5 mins to the beach. Once you reach there walk to the right side of the beach and go to extreme corner to view the spectacular sunset.
The beach and water is clean, so you can swim too. Number of beach side cafe and hotels are also available. After the sunset, you can chill any of those.
Must Visit for Sunset.Written 25 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A fabulous place to kayak in. The water is crystal clear and there are amazing rock formations.Written 29 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Vladimir P2 contributionsTHE BEST PLACE - PALAWAN ISLAND The Secret Beach is a piece of paradise concealed by the cliffs and is only accessible through a narrow crevice. One has to swim through this opening to reach this place, shining even under the shade created when the sun kisses the cliffs. I wanted to take it all in when I was there. It was beyond beautiful indeed but all I could think about was: “I should have brought a water-proof camera.”Written 2 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Czar EmmanuelManila, Philippines10,311 contributionsHonda Bay is one of the famous tourist destinations in Palawan. It's located less than an hour away from Puerto Princesa, which makes it ideal for a day tour. You just need to go to the Santa Lourdes wharf and take a boat from there for island hopping. Usual itinerary includes a visit to the Cowry Island, the Starfish Island, and the so-called Luli Island. All of these islands are good for swimming. You can have your lunch in any of them. Highly recommended!Written 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Fav FiveZurich, Switzerland18 contributionsSnake island is one of the stopovers in the island hopping tours departing from El Nido. It is located around 20 minutes away from the town and the name comes for the shame communicating an small illet with the mainland.
It is an awesome natural spot but unfortunately too crowded of tourists, even I'm one of them, and we saw some pollution on the area, that is very disappointing.Written 19 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide was knowledgeable and explained a lot about how fireflies work and their habitat. It was silent going through the mangroves and there were loads of fireflies to see. Our package included a buffet dinner which we ate in the harbour rather than by the mangroves due to delays which leads to 4x review. Buffet was tasty but with many options on the Baywalk it wasn’t really needed and I would have preferred to eat before/after.Written 5 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Patrick UnsonPhilippines4,293 contributionsThe view of the Secret Lagoon is just magical! It is very peaceful, beautiful, and simply great to admire as you look upwards, sinking your ears into the water and flapping your arms to stay afloat. While we were there, there was one orange flower just above the entrance to the Secret Lagoon, and that was beautiful as well!
As far as accessibility is concerned, I would not recommend solo travelers, seniors, PWDs, pregnant, or mothers with babies to go especially when the water is high enough. At the entrance, the water has a strong push. If pushed upwards, you needs to watch your head. And below the water are some rocks that you can bang your legs and feet against. You can still be careful but once the water pushes you, you have no choice but to go with it. Our guide got us through by having us lay on our backs, and he would float us right through with experienced timing. Our mother with a baby ended up staying at the beach with a cover until we were done inside.
If you get thirsty, you can always buy fresh coconut juice from the friendly men on the little boats. They will charge you for them when you get back to your main boat. It is about P100/buko during our visit. Sounds pricey but this money can help them a lot! They are even supportive to those who can't really swim, because they can paddle you back to your main boat if you need help or feel tired fighting against the current.
I also suggest waterproofing your mobile phones so you can capture pretty photos inside. I should have done this, actually.Written 21 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Adventurers049Brisbane, Australia3,509 contributionsWe had a fabulous lunch on the beach. The setting is magical and a bit Robinson Crusoe like.
The crew of our boat had to throw the outdoor furniture into the water before floating it to shore!Written 29 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful sands and clear waters, and the water temperature is always just right. Definitely worth the trek from the city. It was even fun to watch all the boats going back and forth to underground river.Written 22 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maria GDunwoody, GA1,210 contributionsSeven commandos beach is reached by boat. We were on a tour with five stops. It was my least favorite. It’s very crowded. The boats are next to the beach. There is a restroom facility. There is also a concession stand.Written 4 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
