El Nido Thread 3

[chinkyann]

sissies! help! we will be in elnido this coming aug. and till now i cant decide where to stay. which is better marina, ipil, hadefe or entalula? THANKS

Marina is nice. Mismo na sa town sya. beach front. may wifi. may hammocks. comes with breakfast. may fan room. may aircon room. may tv. Malapit nga lang sya sa mga boats na knaka dock. you can swim naman sa front. If you get the beachfront rooms, medyo maingay lang sa waves. Nice view. Malapit sa mga restaurants.

Hadefe - maganda ang view. Kita mo helicopter island. Quiet. you need to walk from town. May madadaanan kang cemetery. Hinde pwede trike papunta dun pero kung may bike or motor okay sya. Pero, nice sya if you're looking at privacy. Di masyado ma swim ang front kase low tide. lalayo ka pa. Pero you'll feel serenity on that part of El Nido.

Ipil - konting lakad from the beach. Maliit lang ang town kaya okay lang maglakad lakad dun. New. Maganda sya sa labas. Building type sya. It looks really nice when i passed by.

^yes ipil is new and nice and clean,they have wifi, kaya lang wala silang tv.
and yung free breakfast nila eh 3 lang ang choices if i remember correctly danggitsilog, tocilog, and toasted bread and butter/jam. Kaya on our 4 days sa labas din kami kumain so sayang lang yung free breakfast. Madalas sarado yung cafe nila and halos lahat ng food wala sa menu. The receptionist explained naman na kakaopen pa lang daw kasi ng cafe nila

nabasa ko ang blog ni @chikyann. di yata ako natutuwa sa development sa el nido. yung may sementadong toilet sa may secret beach. aside from ampanget tingnan, saan pupunta yun? yung trip kasi namin, may restroom sa boat namin.

[hot_chili]

^ ay panget nga yan, and baka ma pollute ang tubig. Sana nga wag masyado macommercialize ang el nido, its for nature lovers kasi talaga unlike boracay na parang for partying.

Naku sis, maliliit lang ang mga boats dun...pang island hopping lang talaga. Unless may yacht na nahire pero i doubt na  pwede yun sa malapit sa mga beaches yun kase baka masira yung mga corals eh malaki kase sila. May mga beaches or lagoons na napuntahan namin na medyo malayo rin ang dock ng boat namin kase mababaw na and baka magalaw ang corals kaya there was a need for us to swim na lang para maka reach dun sa area na yun.

Kaya for sure nature na nature dun kase feeling ko lahat umiihi na sa dagat. Impossible may nag titiis nyan eh halos the whole day andun sa island hopping hehe

[mrscolunga]

yung boat na sinakyan namin sa el nido, di naman malaki for 10-15 people pero may maliit na closed cubicle for restroom.

ang point ko lang is sana di na sila naglagay ng toilet sa beach kasi ang pangit tingnan , nasira yung pagka-natural ng place tsaka i'm sure wala ring kwenta yun kasi wala naman water treatment na mangyayari sa waste. mas mabuti pa siguro maghukay na lang sa sand.

tambay na ako sa thread na to. we will be in El Nido on October via PPS. Dating namin sa PPS is October 20 5PM. kung may byahe sana papuntang el nido ng ganitong oras e dederecho na kami ni hubby..yes, dalawa lang kami... o baka naman meron? (super hoping lang). in any case, overnight kami sa pps, then first thing in the morning kami magtravel to el nido.

hindi naman ako nagwoworry sa trip na ito to prepare sa DIY itinerary namin. kasi from what i read e pagdating sa el nido, madaming nagaalok ng tours. thank goodness standard ang rate nila...

im planning na dun na din maghanap ng accommodation, [textspeak!] mura lang. carry na kami ni hubby sa basic accommodation.

[hot_chili]

^I think ang last trip ng shuttle is 1 or 2pm. Kasi sa 6 hrs na byahe gabi na makakarating ng el nido pag 2pm umalis sa PP. And nakakatakot pa naman yung dadaanan kaya delikado sa gabi

[sexygoth]

minsan may notifications ako sa email ng isang group buying site promo daw to El nido ang ganda ganda nung beach sa pictures sobrang gustong gusto ko mag punta kaso kulang kulang 30k plus ang gagastusin kaya pinangarap ko nalang.....thank God nakita ko tong thread na ito at masipag na nag backread lagi ako nagbabasa sa thread na to nung nakaraang araw at sobrang ang dami kong natutunan sa DIY kaya nung nag promo ang cebu pacific mnl-pps grab na ako agad kahit 3days lang makita ko lang el nido  ....2nd week ng january kami pupunta doon.... ask ko lang mga sis inde ba maulan ng january sa el nido? sobrang excited lang

ganun ba sis.. magliwaliw muna kami ni hubby sa puerto princesa. promo lang din kasi nakuha kong ticket at late na din ako nakapagbook kaya late na ang nakuha kong schedule. excited na din ako for our trip!

pano ba magpareserve sa lexus? text lang or call them to inform then may advance deposit? o we have to be at their office para magpareserve?

hello!

been doing a lot of backreads lately but still don't know what to do. maybe somebody can recommend what's best? 2 of us are booked for a flight to pps on the 9th of november, arriving 8:40am via airphils. we will be going back to Manila on the 12th with a 2pm flight. i would just like to ask what would be the best itinerary. is this possible?

nov. 9 - pps at 8:40, ask lexus if we can be picked from the airport to go to sabang for UGR
            UGR tour
            catch 2pm van of lexus to el nido
            arrival at el nido

nov. 10 - tour A
nov. 11 - tour B or C?
nov. 12 - back to pps, kaya po ba sa 7am na van?

i'm really confused on how we can maximize our trip on a tight budget. this is our 2nd try to book tickets. we were scheduled last year, month of october to visit palawan but due to a change of work...we had to cancel it. this year, we booked our tickets again...hoping that this is our time to see palawan.

suggestions or advices are always welcome. will we just go for pps or el nido?

we are also looking for travel buddies or if we can join a group to lessen the cost...it would be a great help.

thanks in advance. have a great week ahead!

[chinkyann]

sis, suggested tours for first timers are usually Tour A and C para makita mo rin ang secret beach. Yung pagbalik nyo, take the first trip 5AM that way in case may aberya (sana wala) may alloted hours. Saka you will have time to buy pasalubongs pa or have lunch

Saan kayo magstay? you don't need to spend mahal for your accomodation kase most of the time....nasa labas kayo.
