El Nido Thread 4

[shinta]

i just booked MLA-PPS flight for Aug next year and gusto ng mga kasama ko na El Nido daw kami. So mahaba-habang backread ito. 10 pax kami and hoping na makatipid sa mga tours and van rentals.

[hisana]

Nadaanan ko yang new Rovic's Hotel while we were there a few months back. Malapit sa Marina Garden, though hindi sya beach front. It looks nice from the outside and really stands out kasi napaka fresh-looking pa nya, LOL. We're also considering this for our next trip back.

[loverofsummer]

^Wow, kaliwa't kanan na ang mga bagong resorts sa El Nido. How much sa new Rovic's hotel, sis?

[shinta]

sa wakas natapos na din ako mag-backread. mejo may idea na ako how to go about this El Nido trip. pero may mga questions ako mga sis:

may mga beachfront accommodations sa town proper and this area is ideal kung gustong malapit sa mga kainan.

beachfront accommodations din sa corong-corong, pero wala masyado kainan. pero nice din kasi walking to marimegmeg beach. how far is this from the town proper? walking distance din ba o need mag-trike?

how about sa caalan beach area (parang gusto ko kasi mag cadlao resort)? wala din ba masyadong kainan dun?

eto ba yung rovic's tourist hotel: http://www.rovicselnido.com/pages/rhfacilities.html? mukhang nice nga siya. kaso walang room rates sa website nila.

eto din parang gusto ko: http://elnido-overlooking.com/. ang ganda ng view pero mukhang malayo na sa civilization.

joining this thread sissies.    we're planning an el nido trip with bf and cousin next year.. probably holyweek. so as early as now, im checking both airlines kasi, for sure, malabo ang promo fare during holyweek. upon checking two way now costs around 6k na with baggage, mhew! how much more pag medyo malapit na. will start backreading now, and any additional inputs from you sissies will be very much appreciated.  we are also open to joiners sa mga tours to save cost incase meron din holyweek trip. 

[hisana]

Yes, that's the new hotel. Mga sis, it's listed in agoda as a little less than 3k per night for the basic twin or double rooms. Will probably e-mail Rovic's na lang for a quote.

Guys suggestions please saan ok kumain either expensive or affordable. Minsan kasi yung carinderia type doon pa masarap kumain. So pls do suggest. Tia!

[meimei]

@shinta, sis! Sa El Nido Overlooking kami naka-book for summer next year. Ganda ng view di ba? And maganda ang reviews sa Tripadvisor.


Sa mga nabasa ko, its just a short trike ride away, like 5mins. Sakin ok lang yun kasi ayoko ng accommodation sa mismong town center, ayoko kasi ng maingay. Tsaka solo namin yung place kasi marami kami, 12pax, so exclusive samin, bongga lang, hehe.

[shinta]

^wow nice sis meimei. Ganda nga ng view. Yung mga rooms ba except sa deluxe room, pwedeng for 4? 10 naman kami. Update mo ko ha. August next year pa naman kami.

[meimei]

^all rooms can accommodate a maximum of 4pax, natanong ko na yan kay Arnold, yung owner. So kung 10pax kayo, you should get 3 rooms.

[pmartini]

^sis meimei did u pay down payment ba to el nido overlooking para ma-confirm ang reservation nyo?

[shinta]

thanks sis meimei. sana magustuhan ng mga friends ko sa el nido overlooking, parang nakapa-relaxing kasi. ang bilin kasi sakin, yung mura lang daw kunin ko hehe.


question mga sis, sa mga nag-hire ng private van from PPS-El Nido and vice versa. pwede bang 4am ang alis sa PPS para 10 am, nasa El Nido na. And pabalik, same din ang alis sa El Nido, 4am para 10am naman nasa PPS na. Eto kasi iniisip kong itinerary namin:

Day 1
12 nn - ETA PPS
DIY PP City Tour + pasalubong shopping

Day 2
4 am - Travel to El Nido
10 am - Checkin or iwan gamit sa hotel and halfday beach bumming sa Nacpan beach

Day 3
Island Hopping Tour

Day 4
4 am - Travel back to PPS
10 am - ETA PPS
12 nn - flight back to Manila

[simang]

Planning our el nido trip sa november. 4 days 4 nights kami. Still thinking if mag side trip pa ba kami to PP, nakapunta na kase ako ng PP but si bf hindi pa.

[meimei]

@pmartini, yes definitely kailangan ng downpayment. If i remember it right, 50% dp.

[hisana]

^^
Sis simang, ganyan din kami, we're thinking if we want to try the honda bay tour or just stick to el nido throughout the entire vacation. Wala pa kasi sa amin nakakakita ng honda bay or even the underground river, as in baker's hill and kalui pa lang napuntahan, LOL, so para maiba naman daw. I want to go but am thinking how much bigger the crowd might be compared to el nido. Ayoko kasi talaga nung sobrang daming tao on a beach.

[simang]

^nakaunderground river na kase ako, si bf hindi pa.. the honda bay i can let go since may island hopping na naman sa el nido, haha. yung city tour gusto ko din maexperience ni bf especially sa croc farm. iniisip ko pa kung kakayanin pa sa oras baka kase mahapit kami masyado, gusto ko laid back lang schedule namin haha

kelan punta nyo sis? pag off peak naman di gaano marami yung tao eh.

[hisana]

^
Sa early march pa naman kami (yes, sobrang tagal pa, haha, lots of time to plan).

[pmartini]

@ meimei, thanks sa info sis will be there kase in December.. i'm still checking tripadvisor din for more tips sa El nido trip
