Kudugman Beach

Absolutely fabulous in every way. The pictures online don't do the place justice. (The green rooms are now white as they've been recently remodeled.) This amazing family-owned resort is a gem and should not be overlooked. We celebrated our 24th anniversary here, and the people made it very special. See the attached video. We loved the setting, the food, and the excellent service. Alex, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. If you're looking for a nice place to stay and wonder, look no further—this is absolutely worth it.

I had an amazing stay at Kudugman Beach Cottages. This charming, secluded location in El Nido is accessible only by boat. With just a handful of cottages, the experience feels very private. Alex and Erica are fantastic hosts, always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend their private tours around El Nido!

Stayed here with my wife and family and had a fantastic time! It's a small operation, which means they are highly focused on the guests' well-being. The resort is fully eco-friendly, which is a big plus. The rooms are spacious and equipped with all the basic necessities, including comfortable beds. The shower pressure could be better, but that was a minor issue. You can book tours directly from the front desk; they have their own speedboat, and guests can customize tours based on their interests. They used to cook lunch on the spot during tours, but this is now banned in the area because a Tiktok travel influencer complained about getting sick, ruining it for everyone (don't be that person). The food and service can be customized to your preferences! Special thanks to Alex and the team for arranging a plated dinner service for our family, as we were the only guests at the resort on our last night! Everyone was incredibly accommodating; for example, my wife and I had a 7:15am flight from El Nido to Manila. We had to leave the resort at 5:00am, and a whole team was ready to take us through the darkness and waves to the mainland. We made our flight! I 100% recommend staying at this place if you're visiting El Nido and want an eco-friendly boutique experience!

With only 5 cottages in the resort, it feels like you have access to the most exclusive beach imaginable. The ambiance is fantastic, the food is superb, and the staff is delightful. You won't regret it!

Alex and his team provided exceptional service from start to finish, ensuring there was always someone at each stop to greet us and ensure our safe arrival, from the taxi drop-off to the boat port and all the way to our accommodation. He also made sure we reached our next destination safely with the same level of service. His staff went above and beyond to cater to our every need, and everyone was extremely friendly and joyful. The attention to detail made everything extra special, giving our stay a luxurious feel. The staff even took the time to show us how to make traditional bamboo-style origami, and their tours and tour guides were amazing, making us feel extremely safe and well taken care of. The private beach cottages are fantastic, with direct access to the sandy beach right outside the door. The sound of the ocean made our sleep peaceful, and the rooms themselves are very spacious. With a maximum of 10 guests at this accommodation, everything was very quiet and peaceful, making it feel like we had the whole island to ourselves. The food was incredible, with every dish being absolutely delicious, especially their crab! Be sure to try their missionary drink at the bar made by Bing and Sherrel, the two best people we met during our entire travels :)
