Cauayan Island Resort Boat Transfer & Force Majeure Policy
At Cauayan Island Resort, the safety and well-being of the guests are top priorities. The island resort adheres strictly to maritime regulations set by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). The following policies apply in situations beyond the resort's control:
1. Suspension of Boat Transfers Due to Rough Seas
In cases where flights to El Nido proceed as scheduled, but the Philippine Coast Guard suspends boat transfers due to rough waves or adverse sea conditions, Cauayan Island Resort must comply with the advisory. As a result, the resort will be unable to transfer guests from El Nido Pier to the resort.
This situation is beyond the resort’s control.
Full charges for the reservation will apply, as the resort remains operational and ready to accommodate guests.
2. Philippine Coast Guard-Imposed Boat Transfer Cutoff (05:00 PM)
The Philippine Coast Guard enforces a boat transfer cutoff time of 05:00 PM. If guests arrive in El Nido beyond this time due to delayed, late, or rebooked flights—circumstances beyond the resort’s control—the following applies:
The resort will be unable to accommodate late-night boat transfers for safety reasons.
Full charges for the reservation will apply, as accommodations remain available.
Guests affected by delayed flights must arrange overnight accommodations in El Nido at their own expense.
The resort strongly recommends booking flights that arrive in El Nido before 03:00 PM to ensure a seamless transfer to the resort.
The resort appreciates guest's understanding and cooperation.
