“The Sanctuary occupies a special place in El Nido: a family-owned beachfront hideaway with direct access to Bucana Beach. I appreciate its intimate scale, with air-conditioned rooms and a garden dining area that encourages a relaxed pace. It's the sort of spot where I'd happily trade the bustle of the town for a few days of unplugged tranquility.”
