Secluded paradise 🏝️”
We stayed at Qi Palawan for 4 nights and we really enjoyed it! The resort is beautiful and well maintained. Atmospheric pool in a lush, green garden. The beach is private, we watched sunrise each morning and did some yoga in the yoga room. The accommodations are so pretty with beautiful outdoor showers. The staff is super friendly, very welcoming and caring. The food is very tasty & fresh. Kitesurfing was the best. Great teacher, perfect shallow water to learn the first skills. Highly recommended and hope to get back there one day.

4 Nights wir our adult daughters during busy Chinese New year season. Just great!”
We spent here four nights during our 14 nights trip through Palawan. The place was awesome, providing the right possibilities for all family members. Our youngest daughter (22) started learning kite surfing. The facility is just made for that. Donald the teacher, more then five stars! The yoga classes in the morning took place under the open roof of the spa house. It was a holistic experience, practicing to the sound of the waves, birds and being surrounded by lush greens, feeling the warmth of the morning sun rays. The restaurant, providing delicious food all day round, great drinks, and the easy going possibility to get involved with other guests or just stay by yourself. The complimentary drinking water, served in nice carafes whenever you need them to your cottage. The pool next to the ocean... Mat and Julie, the managers who run the place. Thanks!

Hidden Paradise in El Nido that's tucked away from the maddening crowds of tourists. ”
The remoteness and peacefulness of the resort is a breath of fresh air. From the beautiful tranquil beach and scenery to the lovely French couple who manages the resort and the very friendly staff, they made our stay a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommended! After we left Qi, we stopped by Lio Beach prior to heading to the airport. Beautiful scenery, but the experience made us miss Qi even more. No comparison. Thank you Qi for the fond memories.

Amazing, with a downside”
The hotel and the rooms are amazing, paradise on earth. The location and the view offer a unique and remote island experience, unrivaled by anything else. Everything is clean and there are plenty of facilities to enjoy throughout the stay. The staff are very friendly, polite, and helpful. However, the food is mediocre at best, and is a hit and miss. Some dishes are nice, but that's the exception. Most dishes are small in portion size, lack flavor, and are prepared with little to no passion. The menu is strange, with very traditional dishes from Spain, Italy, and France, complicating things for the kitchen. Food generally takes 45/60 minutes to prepare, even if you are the only table. Once the food arrives you are generally greeted by a boring looking plate, with oregano on the side as decoration. We ordered for the Christmas menu for two, 4000php. Big mistake, the main course was cold rice - boiled, bland, cold pork - and a strange sauce. I don't expect much from a remote hotel, but for this price a decent Filipino stir fry or similar dish would have been perfect too. Fresh orange juice costs 250php, which is strange. Overall the food doesn't represent the region or the quality of the hotel and really takes away from the experience, a shame. If the kitchen improves, I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful getaway ”
We really enjoyed our stay. Its a beautiful resort to just relax and spend a few calm days. Especially after spending a few nights in Downtown El Nido it felt really good to only hear the beach and the nature. Staff is very nice and forthcoming. Be aware of the Sandflys when spending time on the beach…they ate us alive

Beautiful Retreat, Excellent Staff”
Beautiful retreat in the Jungle. Love the traditional architecture of the family room. Wake up to sounds of the jungle. Unfortunately no Wifi Reception in the rooms since the rooms are built on the hillside. Strong Wifi around reception/restaurant/pool area only. But great for unplugging and enjoying the beauty of the area.

A very nice stay in El Nido”
The hotel is very nice. The food is fabulous and the staff was very friendly (they made a birthday cake last notice). But, the beach is not good (fill with sand flies) and it is a quite far away from everything (it is a retreat, so expected）

Qi need a refresh”
Minimum standard room for one of the most expensive hotel in this part of the island. 250 usd/night. Nothing to do, no quite surf instructor (hotel website is misleading), poor bike for rent. Hotel located at 45 min from quality beach

Super and quite resort with very friendly staff”
The Qi Palawan is a remote resort (approx. 1 hour away from El Nido town). This might sound a bit deterrent in the first place but turns out to be one of the best decision we made during our 1 week trip to El Nido. The entire facility is just beautiful and feels like a huge garden. Everything is very openly designed and clean. The staff is superb, very well trained and friendly. We took a few private kite surfing lessons which were well worth the money. The beach is not a white sand beach but huge and wide and the best thing there is nothing around so you most likely have the entire beach for yourself. The food is neither on the good nor on the bad side. They could improve a bit but it is not bad. Would definitely come back here again and can recommend a stay of 2-3 nights.

Best part of our vacation”
Qi Palawan has everything you need. It’s so small and the staff is so friendly, you really feel like you are just a guest, not a paying one. It’s an intangible that is hard to describe. Genuinely happy employees that are so good at their jobs that they effortlessly provide excellent service. We chose Qi Palawan for the lovely rooms and great reviews and we were not disappointed. The rooms are beautiful and of very high standards. We would wake up, step outside and someone would magically appear to take our coffee order. The food is excellent. Most of the offerings are traditional Western cuisine, which was fine with us we did not really enjoy the Filipino cuisine we had tried elsewhere. But, here, we did enjoy the Filipino / Asian daily specials. The breakfasts were plentiful and diverse. The snorkelling on the island hopping was some of the best we did in all of the Philippines. We only booked one night, we were very lucky they had another room for 3 more days.

My absolute favorite resort in Palawan”
I spent 3 weeks in Palawan staying in accommodations that ranged from 30 USD to 400 USD and Qi Palawan was by far my favorite. The staff Was just as attentive and friendly as the more expensive resorts. For me, the service at Qi Palawan was even better because everyone was so genuine. The staff is very well trained and makes sure you are taken care of without a bug production. It's all very comfortable. A special thanks to Jane, Rose and Francis for making sure our stay was excellent. Just a quick Tip: study the map and location description and be prepared to be in the middle of nowhere (trust me this is a plus). Definitely do the island hopping or SCUBA. These were the best reefs that we saw.

Amazing vacation”
Qi Palawan is a great resort. It is properly maintained and staff are very accomodating. It made our vacation perfect. I booked the oceanfront family cottage. The A/C on the 2nd floor didn't work properly but they have moved us to a different cottage at night. It was a little inconvenient but it still work out fine. The beach and view was perfect in the morning. The resort is remote so we had the beach all by ourselves so the view was breathtaking. They have baroto boats and paddle boats that guests can use. Will definitely recommend this resort to my friends. Resort is 1 hr away from the town but it made it perfect and secluded.

Great place !”
Qi Palawan is the perfect spot if you want to visit El Nido while avoiding the crowd. Location is great, rooms are simply amazing and activities organized are fun. Stuff is nice and professional, food is good -- better than what you would find elsewhere in the Philippines ;)

Peaceful place. ”
I stayed at this resort for 5 nights in early October. The place is far from the town but you don’t have to be out of this place until checkout. As all staffs treat you very well, foods and drinks are comfortable, yards are well cleaned every morning, sunset from the beach is so beautiful. In addition, if you are intend to enjoy diving or wish to acquire a PADI license Qi Palawan is a great place to consider. As Peter a diving trainer is knowledge-full and friendly, well care about trainee so you shouldn’t worry anything regarding to your diving nor diving course at all. I should mention one more thing, there you can enjoy peaceful and quiet night with a voice of gecko. :)

Great find”
Excellent resort with extremely friendly staff. Everything about this resort was developed to perfection. I wanted to experience true Palawan and that's why I choose QI after reading most of the reviews. The diving was just amazing. Boat, dive masters, safety and organisation were really good with a focus on making the best out of my time there. Ismeal and Betina who own and run the resort made me feel I am really looked after. I hope to visit the resort again

Beautiful hotel in a remote area of El Nido”
Loved our stay at Qi Palawan, the rooms were beautiful and really loved the outdoor shower. The staff were excellent and the restaurant was tasty but a little pricey. The only downside are the sand flies and jelly fish at the beach. Otherwise amazing hotel and would definitely recommend spending your time in El Nido at Qi Palawan!

Great place to sit back, relax and eat delicious food”
I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at Qi Palawan. From the moment my two friends and I were picked up from the airport, the Qi Palawan staff made us feel comfortable and special. The rooms are beautiful and equipped with an outdoor shower. The pool is very picturesque. The food was by far the best we ate on our entire two week trip in The Philippines. The manager also takes the time to get to know each and every guest.

Detachment”
we really enjoyed our stay in QI Palawan. We felt the detachment we needed and the connexion with the nature more than ever. The location is really nice 1 hour away from the busy El Nido Town. Recommend the east coast island hopping x

The Getaway of a Lifetime”
Our Stay at Qi Palawan will defiantly be the trip to remember. From the entrance to the bungalows the compound and the ambiance of the surroundings are breathtaking. The accommodations were superb in their theme and comfort. The food and drinks are some of the best we have had. The Island hopping and surrounding coral reef system is very healthy and thriving. The marine ecosystem just outside the Resort is pristine. Truly, a Scuba and snorkeling heaven.
