I had a difficult decision to make when deciding where to visit in the Philippines. I ended up going to Boracay but El Nido was a close second. I really loved Boracay and I’m sure I would really love El Nido too. I hope I can return in the near future and head to El Nido and some other islands next time!
I’ve been dreaming to visit El Nido, but never did I acquire the chance cause I always end up being trapped in Puerto Princesa. I’ll certainly do all that fun activity, especially touring around the Gem and the island of ElNido and would love to enjoy the beach as well. Thank you so much for sharing this one.

El Nido looks like an oasis from heaven. I’ve been dreaming about this place. We’ve been to Puerto Prinsesa before but El Nido is different. Will note this down for future reference. 🙂
Sadly, I haven’t been to El Nido but of course this place is on my list. And I love the fact ur number 1 is FOOD! coz most certainly happy stomach = happy trip! Having said that I think I’ll love it there.
El Nido is such a beautiful place, May you travel alone or in group. The beaches are enough to comfort you and bring joy should you travel solo. The folks too are amiable that surely you will gain New friends. But of course, it would always be more fun to travel with friends or loved ones and share the beach and scenery with them.
What dishes can you recommend during a stay there? When we talk about El Nido, definitely the waters will come into our minds. It is up to us to maximize our stay. Indeed, we have to make out most of everything we find there.
the Island hopping offers a variety of grilled food (that’s included in the fees) . Not much restaurant to eat and quite costly too especially along the beach front. 🙂
I have been hearing and even read articles about Palawan and sure it is one of the best places Philippines has. Of all the places we have here, this is my main target. It’s just that I need to wait for a little time until my little man grows up a little. You know, bringing a 4 year old on this kind of trip would be a little risk but hoping to be able to visit the place pretty soon. And yep, will definitely take note of your tip here. 🙂
The water is gorgeous in the Phillipines. Everything looks so peaceful. Definitely adding to my list!
