hinde ba advisable ang secret beach(yung nasa tour C)  for kids(9yo) at sa adults na hindi marunong magswim?

Napuntahan namin to sis, di ako marunong maglangoy. lols. okay naman, kinaya, paalalay na lang kayo sa guide.

[hann-hann]

salamat sa mga reply nyo mga sis

another question po, may nagpaparent ba dun ng aqua shoes? or kelangan talagang bumili kami ng para sa amin?

[peachlipstick]

nag-book na lang din kami sa Northern Hope for our tour and accommodations next month sa el nido and PPS. may nakapag-stay na ba sa Northern Hope Inn mga sis? hindi ba mashado maingay sa gabi dito? katabi lang daw ito nung Art Cafe.

hinde ba advisable ang secret beach(yung nasa tour C)  for kids(9yo) at sa adults na hindi marunong magswim?

HI sis, yung Northern Hope Inn is sa tabi lang ng Northern Hope Inn Extension - nasa looban sila so hindi sila affected if maingay sa labas. Walking distance ang Art Cafe pero hindi naman katabi talaga.

We went to the secret beach, since may life vest, okay naman siya sa amin na di marunong magswim. Inalalayan nga lang kami nung pabalik na sa boat - medyo maalon kasi. I think delikado siya if masyado malakas ang alon.

About aqua shoes, may marerentahan kayo ng aqua shoes sa labas lang ng eskinita ng Northern Hope - 100 per day ang rate and maayos naman ang aqua shoes nila.

In fairness to the people of El NIdo, hindi ko na-feel na they were taking advantage of us sa price simply because tourists kami. Very mabait sila and friendly.

Booked a Skyjet RT flight to San Vicente, Palawan. How far is it from El Nido? Is a daytrip to El Nido feasible? We're planning to book the accommodation near Long Beach or Port Barton.

Anyone here tried Glamping in Nacpan? I booked this and now worried what I'm getting myself into    But looks real cool! 

[detteski]

hi, mga sis! book for PPS on june but planning to go straight na sa El Nido . 4D3N kami parang ang mangyayari is yung first and last day namin is biyahe lang talaga tapos 2 days siguro for activities/tour. May suggestion ba kayo na accommodation? Di pa rin kasi ako nakakabook ng tutuluyan namin sa el nido. haha. Caalan Beach Resort kasi [textspeak!] isang nakita ko na okay kaya lang di pa rin kami sure. gusto pa sana namin maghanap pa ng iba...
low-mid range ang budget namin for accommodation.
TIA sa mga makakapagsuggest.

^Haven't been here, but a friend suggested Telesfora Beach Cottages. While searching naman I found Stunning Republic Beach Resort met my needs kaso fully booked na siya sa dates ko

RESOLVED: Guys, I love it here! Glad made that decision to try glamping at Nacpan beach! Check out the photos on Google. It's right beside Sunmai Restaurant where you get free meals (breakfast and 1 entr?e of dinner) included with your accommodation.

[mysterioza_me]

^Anong name ng property? And how did you get to Nacpan, I mean did you rent a trike na maghatid and sundo lang or nagmotorbike ka (may nagpaparent daw good for 24hrs)? Hindi ba pwedeng magcommute, madalas kasi na nababasa ko nagrent ng motor or trike. TIA

[i_miss_sleep]

^ Nacpan Beach Glamping ang name. Mismo sa harap ng sign na 'I love Nacpan'.

From PPS we rode lang yung shared vans. Then ang baba ay sa El Nido terminal/bayan. Pwede mag-tricycle from terminal. I think yun nga ang usual mode of transpo papuntang Nacpan beach, PERO sis, at that time inaayos pa yung daan papasok ng beach, so ang daming potholes! So di na kami nag-attempt.

Ginawa na lang namin, pagkatapos bumaba ng mga pasahero, kinausap namin si kuya driver if pwede niya kami ibaba sa Nacpan. 500/pax one-way.  And binigay na rin niya number niya in case gusto namin pasundo.

Pero yung resort meron naman pala van papunta ng bayan so after our stay sa kanila na kami nag-avail ng transpo. Shared yun amongst guests.

Fare:
Shared vans from PPS to El Nido 600/pax/way
Private van from PPS straight to NBG 8000/van/way
Shared van from El Nido to Nacpan 350/pax/way; 600/pax/rt

^Thanks sa info sis. I checked the rates of the said glamping property, sayang out of budget since 2 lang kami. Kailangan namin pag-isipan kung kakayanin ng konsensya namin to splurge 8500k/night haha.

[i_miss_sleep]

Nagmahal na pala. Siguro depende din sa season? July kami and binook ko yung sea view, para pag-open ng tent sa umaga, yung beach and sun rise view. Php6700 per night.

[mysterioza_me]

^Siguro nga depende sa season. Summer yung plan na visit namin maybe kaya mahal ang rates. Sayang ang ganda pa naman ng place and pati reviews. Sana magkaroon sila ng smaller dome to accomodate couple with lesser budget

[i_miss_sleep]

^sis, kapag mountain view mas mura. btw, extra adult (12+ yo) is additional php1600

For the experience, stay ka na lang for a night especially if kasama ang Nacpan sa itinerary mo. Then the rest of the nights, sa town na.

I was eyeing on Stunning Republic Beach Resort kaso full occupancy na at that time.

[mysterioza_me]

^500php lang price difference nung magcheck ako last time 😭
