El Nido, Palawan

[mateomarco]

Hi Sir/Madam, Need your advice. I'm planning to book a three day vacation in El Nido, Palawan probably first quarter of next year. Do you have an idea or first hand experience on what resort in the area which we can consider? Inquired sa Ampulit and Miniloc developments of the Ayala's and their average is at 25k per day for two persons. Baka you know a resort na mas lower yung price pero okay rin naman yung facilities. Thank you in advance!

[mateomarco]

Mga Sir/Madam. Up ko lang baka meron po sa inyo may idea. Thank you!

[Ry_Tower]

Check this out. Nasa net naman mga yan plus contact numbers.

1. Marina Garden Beach Resort (walang pool)
2. El Nido Overlooking (mahirap lang booking kasi peak season na sa Q1 of 2016 but it has a nice view indeed.) -may pool
3. Sunset Lovers Beach Cottages (may pool)
4. El Nido Garden Beach Resort (medyo pricey din pero not like those of miniloc and lagen, may pool)

Sadly aside sa El Nido resorts (3 na sila -Lagen, Miniloc at Pangulasian) walang ka-level na ganung hotels sa El Nido proper.

Akala ko kasi you are referring to the EL Nido resorts talaga hehe. 3 kasi yung sa El Nido. Yang Apulit ay sa Taytay town, the town before EN. Dati yang Club Noah. Nabili na nga ni Ayala.

Yeah familiar me dyan pero nung nakapunta ako dyan before, Club Noah pa yan. I don't know if they changed anything pero malamang may improvements yan. Sa kanilang 4 dun ka na lang sa Miniloc if kaya nang budget. Mas maganda pa rin El Nido beaches and views kesa sa Taytay area imho.

Yung El Nido Garden Beach Resort check mo, maganda naman amenities and yung location kaso nga lang don't expect 5 star accomodation and service. Pero sa price niya mas practical siguro. Binabayaran mo kasi sa EN resorts ay yung prestige, privacy and the impeccable service and food.

[Ry_Tower]

BTW much cheaper yung Manila-El Nido airport to Taytay kesa Manila to PPC to Taytay if ever sa Apulit ka.

One thing wala sa El Nido na meron sa Apulit sa Taytay ay yung sunken treasure. Baka mahilig ka mag-diving or snorkeling.

Ahaha! okay lang Sir. naghahanap ng ako ng mas mura eh kasi pinagmumunihan kong mabuti yang sa El Nido Resorts eh. Pricey eh. :p Ay ganun ba Sir. Kaya pala malayong travel pa from EN to Ampulit. So dapat pala kung pupunta narin lang dyan, lubusin ko na sa EN na. Sige, maginquire ako dyan sa El Nido Garden Resort. Pero san located yang si Garden Resort? Miniloc din or Lagen?

My best fishing was in El Nido (tuna and barracuda). Saw some unique stuff when i dove there (a 6 ft Napoleon Wrasse and sharklike spanish Mackarel). That place is other worldly especially the lagoons. The abandoned monastery in one of the islands is eerie as well.

Been to pukhet , krabi and while the infrastructure there is light years ahead of ours (kakaingit), their beautiful islands are PACKED with tourists. At least there is still some solitude in El Nido.

I stayed in miniloc, pangalusian and Lagen. All have their charms. If you have more to spend then go with Lagen. If you want to splurge then Pangalusian . But I guarantee you that you will not spend lots of time in the resort anyway ..... Bacuit Bay just holds too many treasures.

[Egan101]

Lagen is currently being renovated and will be open again for business by December. Lagen has swimming pool, in case you need one, though Bacuit bay offers a lot in terms of activities. Pangulasian has a really nice beach but food is not covered in the cost. If you stay at Pangulasian, you can visit Miniloc and Lagen at no extra cost. Apulit is way off from the other 3 resorts. Lagen, Miniloc, and Pangulasian are just minutes away from each other (even faster if the resort will lend you their speed boats).

Ayala also has a budget resort in El Nido. El Nido Cove is just a few minutes drive up north from Lio airport.

double post again...

Apulit is 26K per night. Miniloc 36K per night. Holy Week peak season. Airfare not included.

Any feedback on El Nido Cove Resort?

Is August a good time to visit Miniloc for next year? Cheaper option.

[Ry_Tower]

Numbah5 sino naman kasama mo? Yung "other" GF? hehehe

Hi mga sir. Just to update this thread, i finally settled with Miniloc. Total damage for two persons, three days two nights was around 50K all in. Ngayon po and procedure you have to book with the resort and airline separately unlike to those friends na nakapunta na noon, isa lang kausap nila so dalawang transactions ginawa. Happy ang GF of course sa surprise! Dapat lang. Thank you to all those who contributed and made me decide the best option. BTW, we will be going there by the end of Feb. Sana may makasabay na taga dito. Salamat ulit!

Sir I went there last New Year. Maganda amenities but the beach is not so good. Yung pool maliit din. If may kakilala ka sana sa El Nido, puwede sa Nacpan kayo magbeach/picnic para maganda experience. Mga 15-20mins pa from EN Cove yung Nacpan beach.
