mga sis lapit na kami punta el nido, 2 weeks to go. weeeeee!!! excited.  :D
question, is it really worth it to go Nacpan? til now d pa  rin ako maka pagdecide. In case kasi we'll arrive el nido by 2-3pm , we still have free time. So kung pupunta kami ng Nacpan that's approx one hour travel, say 4pm andun na kami.. chill and sunset watching lang, then after that balik na naman sa town 1 hour travel ulit.. and baka rent kami ng sasakyan around 2500 something or more than that? for just a short time. what do you think mga sis?

option 2, marimegmeg nalang atleast malapit lang. btw, is cadlao resort open for guests na di nakabook sa kanila? if you just want to check out the place, chill and perhaps use their pool.  :)

Hi! May maire-recommend ba kayong travel agency? I prefer kasi na via agency na lang ang tour para wala ng iisipin dahil may bata kaming kasama. Salamat!

just came back 2 weeks ago from elnido.  I would recommend nacpan beach talaga. so quiet and peaceful. although maganda ren ang marimegmeg.  but if you want something na away from the crowd, I would suggest nacpan.  Chaka sand is so much better.  I've also hired a private van going to nacpan.  so much comfortable.  [textspeak!] marameng unpaved road going to

Naku sis baka di puede mag chill Lang sa cadlao resort.  mahigpit sila. dun kame nag stay sa cadlao resort.  Kung kakaen kayo and have some drinks, puede pumasok.  okay naman ang food and drinks.  affordable naman.  I dont think they will allow you to use the pool.  their pool is exclusive for their guests only. while we were there, may pumasok one time, at nag pa picture picture Lang.  nilapitan sila agad ng one of the staff and was asked nicely to vacate the premises.  mahigpit daw ang owner ng resort and important sa kanila na mabigyan ng privacy ang kanila ng mga guests.

we're back too! :)

after 5D4N sa El Nido and Puerto Princesa, we're ready to be back at work.

Flight: maaga yung departure namin going to PPS kaso nung pabalik na saka lang na-delay. Mabuti na lang at hindi na rush hour.  :-X

Land trip: Nahilo akech going to El Nido. Nasa pinakalikod kasi ako nakaupo sa van kaya no choice ako kundi matulog. Mabilis yung driver and it took him around 5hrs drive lang to El Nido.

Telesfora: Malayo siya sa highway, around 100m. Madilim sa gabi. But, the sunset is the best here for me. You can watch out sunrise too kasi malamig pa rin sa umaga at gabi. Their food is ok although nadismaya lang kami nung nag-request kami for room cleaning. 2 day in a row kami nagrequest at nung hapon lang pagkarating namin saka lang nila ginawa ang paglilinis. Anyway, wala nga pala tv dito at sawali ang mga wall kaya pakinig ang usapan ng kapitbahay. :) Lagi kaming naglalakad pag pupunta ng downtown from Telesfora.

Food: On our first day, we dined in Bacuit Grill. Grabe, 45mins kami pinaghintay ng order. Hindi naman puno pero matagal talaga. Nagluluto sila on the spot so serving ng per plate every 5-10mins. Sabi nga ni bro, nakipaglaban siya sa pork curry at kahit ako sa pork bbq nila. The place is too dark  for me. On the second day, sa Telesfora kami kumain. Marami yung servings nila and nag-enjoy ako sa chicken teriyaki. On the third night, we went to Squido near Seaslug, puno kasi sa Seaslug so sa Squido kami. Masarap yung pork sinigang nila kaso nakipaglaban ulit si bro sa beef curry. Oh, for the coffee lover out there, I'm looking for this 6inch tall mug. Dun lang ako nakakita ng ganyan. Hehe... :D The best resto for me is near Telesfora, ang Greenviews Bar and Resto. Sulit ang hamburger, adobo at chicken curry nila. The place is overlooking Corong-corong beach so masarap kumain. :) Napalayo pa kami eh may masarap pala sa malapit :)

Tour: For me the best is Tour C nga! Buwis buhay nga ang pag-akyat sa mga rocks. Then pasaway pa si younger bro kasi nabitawan nya yung gopro nya in between rocks nung pababa na. :o mabuti na lang at may isang tour guide na payat at siya kumuha. mga 1m din ang lalim nun. Ang kulit namin sa small lagoon dahil sa hindi marurunong magkayak. Sa huli, nagpahila na lang kami sa tour guide. Meanwhile, we have a chance to go inside the secret lagoon. On our last day in El Nido, we hired a tryke going to Nacpan. Maaga pa kaya solo namin ang seashore. Masarap magbeach bumming maghapon. This time, naiwala naman ni younger bro ang remote ng gopro. haha...buti na lang nakita uli. Twin beach is so amazing. Sad nga lang kasi sinunog yung mga halaman going sa pinakamataas na view :'( wala tuloy makapitan pag aakyat pa. Btw, ang kulit ng tour guide namin Nacpan, may 2 aso na nangunguna sa amin. Like sa Telesfora, marami rin kaming naging dog friends.

Puerto Princesa: mahilig sa lakaran itong mga kasama ko so mula sa RCBC crossing sa bayan hanggang GoHotel, nilakad namin. Napasarap kasi yung kain namin sa Kinabuch kaya walking mode ang peg. Then nagbigay pa ng cake si ate La Tiara kaya lalong nabusog. hehe...Masarap po yung cake Ate Cha!  :-* Our main priority sa PPS is to visit UGR for the 2nd time. This time, natuloy na rin at last. It is nice weather so enjoy sa underground boating.

Pasalubong: hehe...cashews lang nabili kong pasalubong at saka customized t-shirt.

Ooppss, mahaba na pala. Next time, we'll try Tour B and D then plan to visit Coron too. sana... :)

mga sis, Balak ko din mag Palawan this summer. Mas ok kaya ang mag DIY. may bata kase kami. Ako lang, auntie ko at baby ko (4 yrs old) sana. Nakita kong airfare sa Airasia for May 4-8, 14K sa aming tatlo na.

First time ko kase mag travel sa Palawan kaya hindi ako familiar pa. Mas ok kaya na iseparate ko na ang airfare then book na lang travel agencies for the accommodation and tours?

Help naman mga sis. baka may ma advise kayo kung saan ako mas makakamura. Pati kung saang travel agencies mabilis magreply at ok sa budget. Birthday gift ko sa sarili ko 'yun since I'm turning 30 na and para maka sakay ng airplane ang anak ko. :)

Thank you very much sa feedback kawchpatatas very much appreciated.  :) Hmmm how much nyo nakuha yung private van going to Nacpan sis? Waaah, haaay excited na talaga ako. hehe

Gusto ko rin sana makita yung Cadlao resort kasi sabi nung friend ko who went there maganda daw.. so kung kakain kami dun sis after that baka pwede naman gumala sa loob at mag picture? hehe di bale nalang yung pool, gang tingin nalang. LOL  ;D

sis ayanlanz kaninong van yung sinakyan nyo? Ganda nung mga pics na nasa link mo. Baka di na ako makatulog nito sa kaka-isip hehe .. Ganda din ng mga tshirts nyo, will definitely buy also kasi im collecting tshirts din from vacays. :D

hi sis Maein! so excited for you too!  months of research and lots of reading from GT ang ginawa ko before our trip. I just want it to be perfect.  maganda talaga magbasa dito marame kang ma Pi pick up na tips.

anyways, yung trip namen sa nacpan beach was part of our inland tour.  sa cadlao resort na ko nag pa organise ng van para Wala ng hassle.  4 destinations yun, waterfalls, hanging bridge, nacpan beach and the zip line.  they charged me P3,000 for the van for the whole day. mas okay yung van sis [textspeak!] marameng unpaved road going to nacpan.  Chaka malayo ang nacpan from the town proper.  40-45 minutes drive ata. and from nacpan, malayo ren yung zip line. worth naman yung bayad sa van.

siguro naman sis Kung kakaen kayo dun, they will allow na kayo mag picture picture hehe
highly recommended ko talaga ang cadlao resort.  tahimik sya kase malayo sa town proper. Chaka may free sila na hated at sundo ng tricycle nila sa mga guest nila.

^^thanks po!

yung land trip namin courtesy na nang Northern Hope since yung tours naman eh kanila rin. Nasa 1k each back and forth to PPS. While, sa Nacpan trip naman, inihire na namin yung isang tricycle. Madali lang kami dun kasi pabalik na kami ng Puerto nung hapon.  :-[

btw, about Northern Hope, masarap yung food nila. Kaso dahil sa dami nang guests, nila don't expect na that they will accommodate you anytime. Mabuti na lang at si kuya ryan ang tour guide namin 2 days in a row. Makulit lang dahil fan siya ng Purefoods kaya tama yung usapan pag nagkukuwentuhan.  ;D

maliit lang talaga ang El Nido town. Nung bumibili kami nang t-shirt nung gabi, nakasabay pa namin yung mga kasama namin sa tour on that day. Maya-maya, yun naman new guests sa Telesfora na katabi ng cottage namin. hehe...destiny ika nga.  :-*

^send them text message rin po. usually, busy sila sa morning. pag hapon wala nang tao kundi mga walk-in tourists. at saka magkaiba ang arrangement ko po sa tour/van transfer at accommodation. I contacted Telesfora directly. We preferred quiet evening kaya good place to stay are those in Corong-corong beach side. Kung type nyo po ang night life, go to Bacuit Bay side. Andun ang Marina Gardens, Entalula, Art Cafe, El Nido Cottage, etc. There are others accommodation with the downtown na malayo sa bar and resto. Maraming foreigners kaya nakakapanibago sa pandinig. :) You can wear two-piece with cover-ups while strolling sa downtown and deadma lang ang mga tao kasi sanay na sila. ;)

^^please share your experience sa 6-8hr boat ride from Coron to El Nido. baka masubukan namin yan soon.  ;D

Hi sis, we were at nacpan around that time, too! Baka nagkadaanan pa tayo, haha. But yeah, halos walang tao, only the dogs and the huge washed-up jellyfish. (Baka may nakita kayong prescription sunglasses, I dropped mine somewhere while strolling along the beach, huhu. Anyway.) Definitely the most relaxing part of our vacation.

Thanks sis  ;) sobrang helpful talaga ng GT because of our sisters who are helpful and willing to share inputs.  :) Will try to ask na rin siguro yung hotel namin perhaps we can rent a van from them nalang, kaso sa inyo na maximize nyo talaga yung rent ng van coz its a whole day activity with other destinations aside from Nacpan. Sa amin kasi Nacpan lang talaga mapupuntahan because of limited time kaya napapa-isip ako if it's really worth it ba talaga considering will pay for a van na parang we rented it for like a day. Anyways, will think it over.  :)

We arrived here in el nido from coron. nagrent kami ng motor 500 pesos going to nacpan. Nakakaloka pala ang tagal ng byahe 45mins kahit nakamotor kami kasi nakakatakot yung rough road eh. Dumating kami dun halos 5pm na. Napakaganda pala talaga sa nacpan! As in wag hindi puntahan!! Long strech ng beach plus fine ang sand! Worth it ang pagpunta. Nagstay kami ng 30mins lang kasi ayaw na namin maabutan ng dilim at hindi naman namin kabisado yung daan. Wala pa namang mga ilaw sa rough road!

Bukas, combo tour ng A and B! :)
