EL NIDO Thread 5

[kristinebarrios]

Anyone tried Dayunan El Nido Inn? They quoted me 15200 for 2, 4D3N with transfers, tour A&C, accomodation and city tour of Puerto Prinsesa. Malapit daw hotel nila sa docks. Hindi kaya malayo sa mga restaurants naman?

[Tumblrista]

^^ ^^^Thanks sisses for the insights! 2 weeks to go.

[Poleng]

Question [textspeak!] po: Is it much cheaper if my bf and I book a plane tix to El Nido, then don nalang maghanap ng hotel and packages? We're on a budget kasi.
 
Sched namin is Nov 23-27.

[jonapee]

^di naman ata peak season yun sis. So marami kayong makikitang vacant and cheap accommodatio sa El Nido town. Nandun kami last August 9-13, nung nag lakad lakad kami sa main road ng town. Daming cheap accommodation. May nakita kaming as low as 800 pesos.

I have a questions sana may sumagot.
Magche cherry bus kasi kami may naka pagtry na ba nito? Mas maalog daw sa van. May oras bang biyahe from PP to EN? Ok lang ba na pagdating namin sa EN dun pa lang maghanap ng hotel at tour package. Based dito Tour C ang maganda anong pinaka main activity sa tour C bakit maganda? Sa PP need ba talaga na kumuha agan ng UG tour? Fron EN to Coron ok lang ba na wala pang reserve na ferry pa punta dun? TIA

[Tumblrista]

Hi sisses! I need your recommendation/s regarding restaurants wherein we could celebrate our anniversary, preferably with great food and view. So far I'm considering either Cadlao Resort and Restaurant or Altrove. I want to try at Alternative din sana kaso I've read somewhere it's currently closed (?).

TIA for the inputs. 

[kookai88]

Ask ko lang sana if pwede ba i-hand carry sa airplane ang snorkeling gear?  thanks sa magrereply!

[beach_n_sunsets]

Sis kookai88, snorkel and mask pwede i-hand carry Na-try ko na both sa CebPac and AirAsia and wala naman sila problema doon.

When we went there, nag van kami to EN, then ordinary RoRo bus pauwi ng PP. For me halos same lang yung travel 'comfort'. Mas malaki ang leg room sa bus, kung wala kayong masyadong dala, mas okay sya based on my experience. Mas matagal ng 1 hr ang byahe sa bus.

Re: trip schedule, yes, may schedule ang buses, usually every 2 hrs ang byahe. I believe my website/fb page ang Cherry and RoRo pwede mo dun icheck.

Re: tours in EN, all are good. Really, kahit anong gawin nyo dun, maganda lahat ng island na pupuntahan, so I guess if kulang kayo sa time, okay lang kahit isang tour lang kunin nyo, kahit ano dun sa A-D. For me, the best part ng tour C are yung secret beach and hidden beach, pati na din yung matinloc shrine. Sa matinloc may rock na pwedeng akyatin with a view of the islands on top. Secret beach naman medyo challenge pumunta since you have to go through a small hole in the sea to get to the beach.

UNdergound tour is of course optional, but i highly recommend doing it since nasa PP na din naman kayo.

Yung ferry from EN to Coron, I believe hindi everyday meron. I'm not sure pero parang MWF yata? Not sure. So i think kelangan magpareserve kayo ng ticket prior.

[Shadow Angel]

^sis salamat sa pagsagot ha medyo nahihilo na ako kaka search at kakabasa. Baka tour c nga ang kunin namin saka baka mag cherry bus nga kami. Yes mag underground river kami sa PP then el nido na then Coron. May schedule pala pa ng biyahe pa Coron. Thanks sis iche check ko ang schedule. From Coron kami pauwi ng Manila.

Just got back from our 4D3N vacation in El Nido and all I can say is SUPER ENJOY! 

We availed our tour package from Anang Balay Turista Inn: 10K good for 2 pax inclusive of van transport (PPS airport to van terminal and vice versa), 4D3N accommodation (double room, A/C and fan, private CR and own veranda), Tour A & C with free use of snorkeling gears and towels and sumptuous lunch, together with ETF. Needless  to say, we had really so much fun!

Maybe next year, we'll go back to El Nido again.

^sis sassy_gal18, sa lahat ng hiningan ko ng quotations, pinaka-gusto ko rin 'yung binigay ng Northern Hope. Naghihintay na lang ako ng reply nila ulit tapos magdo-down na ko.

Suggestion lang, bakit hindi na lang unahin 'yung PPS before El Nido?

Day 1 - Arrival, check-in sa hotel, then city tour
Day 2 - Underground river, check-out sa hotel, then punta El Nido
Day 3 - Island hopping
Day 4 - AM check-out sa hotel, byahe to el nido, konting pasalubong shopping then airport

[sassy_gal18]

oo nga sis. looks great na yung offer nila though alam ko naman hindi na ko makakatawad sa iba kasi dalawa lang kame.

yun nga rin yung concern ko sis parang masasayang lang kasi yung araw dun first day ko since maaga naman kame dadating tapos ibabyahe kame agad. upon checking their website parang fix yung ganung jtenerary nila para sa 4 days 3 nights elnido ugr tour nila. nung parang magrerequest kasi ako ng ibang ayos laging reply nila if gusto ko ng private tour ganyan.

try ko isingit yung corong corong pasyal dun sa first night ko sa el nido sana lang makarating ng maaga.

[avitot]

hi po! ask ko lang last minute iti arrangement na ako

we initially want yung el nido resort in miniloc but hubby disapproved kasi medyo expensive daw. so I am trying to find a good accom na beach front. what you guys recommend? yung mga nakalagay ba dito na inns beach fronts or like sasakay pa  ng tric to get to beach?

I rea  yung northern hope. Ok ba sila mag arrange ng tours? thanks!

[ayanlanz]

^2 places po ang beach area nila - Corong-corong at yung nasa town proper (Bacuit). 10min ride ang Corong-corong but may cottages/inns sila na beachfront at sarap maligo. Tahimik din ang lugar. Yung sa town proper, maingay since may mga resto sa tabi while marami naman pagpipilian. 

~~
^^we have almost same flight time kaso kami naman 5days4nights last March. Mabilis yung van na nasakyan namin since 1 stopover lang (kaso nahilo ako dahil sa mga kurbada tapos sa hulihan pa seat ko). Anyway, yung mga kasabay namin niyaya kami na tumuloy na nang Nacpan pagdating kaso may itinerary na kami gagawin namin yun on our 4th day before going back to PP. So, itinerary namin that time: 1st - travel to EN/gala sa bayan/foodtrip; 2nd-3rd - tour c then a; 4th-nacpan, travel to PP; 5th- ugr then go back to manila.
