If you're visiting El Nido this summer, make sure to book a tour going to Small Lagoon. The Small Lagoon is a little pocket of water in Miniloc Island not far from the Big Lagoon. It is sort of like a secluded cove accessible through a small opening between the limestone rocks. The lagoon can be reached by swimming or kayaking only. No boats could get into it as the opening is only about 2-3 feet wide. The lagoon is characterized by its shallow, clear waters, which are home to various fish species. The surrounding area features towering limestone cliffs, providing a dramatic backdrop to the serene waters.

Read more about small lagoon in our new blog post.

El Nido island hopping tours are more organized and priced at a standard rate, unlike other island hopping tours in the country. Since the prices are standard across, there is no way for guests to negotiate unless you're going on a private tour. P1,200 pe

Our room was spectacular as they have described it -- with its perfect view of the sunrise glistening over the vineyard. What's nice about it is that the sunrise is to your left and not in front of you so you don't get overwhelmed by the sun. And even as

This is our first staycation during the pandemic and we were quite hesitant at first. One major factor that convinced us to stay at Shangri-La The Fort, Manila is that all guests are required to submit a negative antigen swab test to ensure that everyone in the hotel is COVID-free prior to staying in the hotel. They also did not accept any reservations from guests who are in quarantine including those coming from abroad. It doesn't really assure you of 0% risk but at least the hotel follows government protocols and does its best in keeping its staff and guests safe.
