Lagen has a poolside bar and Clubhouse restaurant that serves Filipino cuisine like arroz caldo and chicken inasal, as well as some traditional American foods. Do not miss the mangoes, which were the best I’ve ever tasted in my life. Just the right amount of sweetness and tang, and so juicy they could barely stay on my fork. There is a pool, spa and gym on property, as well as hiking trails around the island. The staff and hospitality is exceptional. The pride in El Nido can be heard in every locals’ voice, and rightfully so.
Water lovers will find limitless options at Lagen and its surrounding area. Diving, snorkeling, and paddle-boarding are just a few of the activities offered. A trip to the infamous Big and Small Lagoon in Miniloc Island is a must. Book a private boat, called a Bangka, to the locations. On the journey, you will pass white sand beaches, limestone cliffs, coral, and, if you’re lucky, a few sea turtles and other sea life. The lagoons contain crystal clear water and jagged black limestone cliffs made from million year old fossils. It is, in a word, astonishing. In the small lagoon, kayaks wade their way through pristine waters and snorkelers enjoy a swim through shaded grottos. It’s hard not to blink twice and utter, wow at least once.
After a morning of lagoon hopping, a poolside lunch at Pangalusian Island provides ample opportunity to relax and enjoy freshly grilled fish and a large wine selection. For a more intimate dining experience, Lagen Island offers sand bar dinners in the middle of the ocean and private beach experiences that include a sunset that will leave onlookers speechless. The only thing better? Sunrise, when you can experience it all again.
