El Nido Thread 3

[Water and Wine]

you're welcome hottie! i was kinda disappointed too because most of the reviews I've read are from westerners and obviously, they call El Nido Resorts as "paradise".  For us filipinos who are more exposed to beaches, El Nido Resorts look common.  I wouldn't have complained if their prices are not that high.  If you're looking for good resorts in Palawan, I would recommend Amanpulo and Club Paradise.  Club Paradise is the next best thing-- very similar to Amanpulo when it comes to the set-up and beach front (both on their own island, you have your own villa, etc).  Not as luxurious as Amanpulo, but really really good enough for the price.

I hope I didn't disappoint you from staying at El Nido Resorts (maybe you can give it a try in the future), but if it's your first time in Palawan, I wouldn't say it's your best option    Enjoy Palawan!

mga sis, meron bang ibang way going to El Nido aside from direct flight from Manila and van ride from PPS?

[ayionick]

^from Coron pwede ka mag-boat kaso mas mahal at maalon yung travel.

[tinapay]

Sis Water and Wine, thanks for posting your pics and providing detailed information. After reading your review, I'm considering Coron. Parang ayoko na pumunta sa El Nido hehe.
