Depende yan sa budget nyo po. May Class A, B, C accommodations dun. Not sure though if they have dormitory types. May na stay-an ako sa La Casa Teresa na pwede yata nga 5...pwede kung siksikan 7 pero ou have to ask them f pwede sa kanila yun. Syempre ok kayo na ganun but the owner hinde pwede kase malulugi sila. Though La Casa Teresa is malayo from town. Trike fare is 20 pesos per head kung filipino ka. That's if papunta ka town and usually 25 - 30 ang singil nila pagpabalik kase wala na silang makukuhang pasehero dun.

thanks dawn! hmmm isasama nanamin sa package un accommodation namin para di na magulo haha... air fare nalang ang sagot ko... kasi nung una lodging sana un sasagutin ko e hassle pa kwentahin kung ihihiwalay sa package..

isa pa pong tanong... usually 7.5k un package /pax.. all in except airfare.. posible bang tanggalin un van transfer from PP - El NIDO vice versa sa package? may nakagawa na ba nun? magkano pag wala un van transfer? bale tours and lodging nalang un kasama sa package? at kung sino nag ooffer nang ganun sana kung may contact kayo. thanks again

Iba iba kase yang package kung anong cover nyan. Usually ang gagawin nila is Room rates (rates depends on the number of days), Island hopping rates, ETDF fee and Van tapos divide nila sa ilang tao kayo. That's usually how they come up with the rate. Exclusive Van Hire I think for 3D2N or 4D3N ranges from 12k to 14k. Hatid sundo lang naman yun and you wouldn't use it pag nasa El Nido ka na unless sa Corong Corong ka magstay na medyo malayo pero may mga ibang drivers na ayaw maghatid to town from Corong Corong kase hatid sundo lang naman daw ang usapan. Kung gusto mo hawak mo yung time mo and more space, go for the exclusive van. Mas makakatipid kung mga Lexus Shuttle Vans or Roro Bus. Aircon naman pareho.

thanks again dawn.. kasi IT namin sana is 4d 3 nights
day 1 - PP - El Nido
day 2 - tour
day 3 - tour
day 4 - el nido - pp

so *** 1st and last days namin e byahe lang kaya we can afford to go by bus dahil wala naman kami hinahabol na oras diba? rather than including the van transfers..

okay kaya kung mag DIY kami? i mean dun nalan kumuha ng lodging and tours? mag early reservation nalan sa marina, then madali lang ba makahanap ng packages dun?

You can do Lexus Van shuttle. They leave El Nido as early as 5am. I think Ms. T can book you on this with the same rate. Inquire ka 09178094509 or latiaratours@yahoo.com You just need to make reservations sa lodging though madami naman dun na pwede walk in kung di ka masyado pihikan sa mga rooms. May mga pang backpacker rates, class b and class a din. Sa tours, standard ang rates nila so madami kang makikitang agency dun. To avoid hassles, you can also ask Ms. T to work on your island hopping packages since standard naman yung rates. At least when you get there, ayus na. Di ka na super maghahanap. At least alam mo you would be in good hands. May mga bangkero or yung mga tour guide kase na manggagantso dyan. I know. I met two hahaha

Here's what I did when I went there.

thanks for sharing... will suggest this to my friends

[minami617]

just got back from El Nido, We availed of Hadefe's services. No complaints, they're great. Hindi nga lang namin napasok ang secret beach/lagoon ba un. kasi malakas ang alon. delikado daw.

Medyo pricey pala ang mga restos sa el nido. ginagawa namin, nagpapaluto na lang kami sa hadefe, kila ate jona. sobra mura lang.

Glad to know you enjoyed and thanks for sharing this. Sayang....my most favorite was the secret beach. agaw buhay nga pagpasok dun pero soooooooobbrrraaang ganda (in my opinion and the foreign tourists I was with sa tour) We did not want to leave the place. Crystal clear. Para syang yung live wallpaper sa Samsung Galaxy hahaha parang di sya totoo...parang application lang sa phone pero ganun kaganda as I remember it

Reason to go back to hehehe We did the secret beach first kase baka daw lumakas na yung alon nun

Just want to give my feedback to the services of La Tiara tours. We had our PPS-El Nido trip last June 26-30. Everything was taken care of by La Tiara tours from our arrival at the airport last Tue to our departure back to Manila yesterday. We were a group of 17 pax with a mix of very young kids and senior citizens. You could imagine the logistical nightmare had I opted to arrange everything by myself.

All the items we arranged in our agreed itinerary were met up to the smallest of details and were all very timely. Just to give you an idea, here is our itinerary during our trip. Oh and by the way, all transfers and tours were exclusive to our group. I requested this so we can be more flexible with our time.

June 26
9:30AM: Van pickup at PPS airport. Start of City Tour.
12NN: Lunch at Dampa (Parang fiesta sa dami ng food namin, we ordered their set meals)
2:30PM: Travel to El Nido
7:30PM: Check in at Marina Garden Resort

June 27
7:00AM: Breakfast at Marina
9:00AM: Island hopping tour A c/o Ricsons
4:00PM: Back at Marina
7:00PM: Dinner at Squidos (Medyo mabagal service nila, we waited for about 30-40 mins for our food)

*I would also want to commend RICSONS tour, their guides we're all very courteous and accommodating.

June 28
7:00AM Breakfast at Marina
9:00AM Tour C (We actually opted to cancel this tour because of the very bad weather)
12NN: Lunch at RICSONS (They served our lunch which was supposed to be included in the tour)

June 29
7:00AM Travel to Sabang (using the same 2 vans which picked us up at Day 1)
12NN Lunch at Sabang, forgot the name of the place but we had buffet lunch. The food was very good as well.
2:30PM: Our schedule for underground river tour. However because of the bad weather, they cancelled all tours on June 28. So they accommodated those with permits on this date as well. Around 5PM na kami nakapag tour. Hassle talaga itong si Bagyong Dindo! haha
6:00PM: Travel back to PPS
7:30PM: Buy pasalubong at Cora's Pearls and Souvenirs
8:00PM: Dinner at Kinabuch
10:00PM: Firefly watching
11:00PM: Check in at La Charica

June 30:
7:00AM Picked up by hotel shuttle to airport

Mind you, everything we did above, except for our lunch at Dampa and Dinner at Squidos were already part of our package with La Tiara. Kaya very convenient and sulit talaga! Pagkain palang panalo na! =))

Overall, I highly recommend Ms. Tiara and her group to make your Palawan Tour arrangements.

Kung sana kaya din nila i-control ang weather perfect na! haha.

Hi guys!

Kung gusto nyo ng discount for island hopping tours book with Servant Tours. They give P100 per tour/person discount if you will ask for it. Maganda ang service nila tsaka one of the guides will brief you regarding the island hopping at the start of the tour. Here's the number: 09178088599

Highly recommended talaga ang Hadefe. Sayang d kayo nakapasok sa secret beach. Maalon at umuulan din nung pumunta kami last year pero buti nakapasok at nakalabas naman kami ng buhay.

Mahal talaga ng food sa mga restaurant doon kaya sa trip namin last week sa carinderia kami kumakain. P50 per meal na budget ok na.
