\nThis is the place that we chose and ended up staying at for about a week. We decided that we are princesses and\/or are just getting old and that a\/c was a \u201cmust have\u201d for us. Mostly because that is the only way your clothes ever truly dry in the tropics. The a\/c rooms here are 1200 php and have private bathrooms with hot water showers. They said they served breakfast, but never had it the week we were here. They claimed to have wifi but we never got the signal. See below under \u201cwork\u201d about how we used Internet in El Nido. They take credit cards but make sure you pay for your stay the night before you leave, when the power is on in town (between 2-3pm and 6am). It seems like it may be new and the rooms seemed the cleanest and nicest of just about any we looked at. They are at the end of the main road leading out of town so it is much quieter than most of the other places we looked at. <\/p>\n
Tandikan<\/strong> Rosa\u2019s Cottages<\/strong> The wifi router was in the room that they showed us so it must have had a good signal. There were huge gaps in the floorboards and walls and a mosquito net around the bed, which let us know that the room itself must get pretty buggy. The gardens were pretty and it is right on the beach. They did not have any a\/c rooms and the fan rooms were 1,000php\/night. <\/p>\n Roseanna\u2019s<\/strong> Shipwreck Inn<\/strong> Alternative <\/strong> Amigos<\/strong> Lally & Abet Beach Resort<\/strong> Bio-Luna<\/strong> Marina\u2019s Garden Resort<\/strong> Greenviews Resort in Corong-Corong.<\/strong> Altrove.<\/strong> Art Caf\u00e9. <\/strong> Alternative.<\/strong>
\nThis place was by far the best deal. On the beach and 1,000php for a fan room that included breakfast for two people. We typically spent about 400-600php on breakfast, which would have made this place a killer deal. That said- we didn\u2019t stay here so we can\u2019t vouch for the breakfast, though the girl who showed us the room claimed it included eggs. There also was a private bathroom with a bucket flush toilet. Based on location and price we would have chosen this place if we hadn\u2019t picked Inngo. <\/p>\n
\nThe big fancy hotel that some guidebook called a \u201cgreat bargain.\u201d We asked at the front desk about rooms and they told us 3,000php for a fan room. We didn\u2019t even ask to see it as it was so different from all of the other prices in town. I am sure the rooms are very nice though and it\u2019s right on the beach. Basically everywhere is right on the beach though. <\/p>\n
\nJust opened, 900php for a fan room and I don\u2019t know how much for a\/c. They were fully booked when we asked about a room. <\/p>\n
\nThis place was so good for eating, and seemed like it would be so not good for staying. The rooms that have shared bathrooms use the same ones as the restaurant guests and there is not a lot of separation between the restaurant and the rooms. The rooms with a\/c were 1400php\/night. <\/p>\n
\n 1,000 for a room with a\/c, but it didn\u2019t feel as nice as the place we went with. They are right across the street from art caf\u00e9 and did have a nice looking rooftop over the beach. I actually don\u2019t remember why we said no to this one. <\/p>\n
\nNo Wifi. Fan room 1,000php\/night, A\/C room 1500php\/night. <\/p>\n
\nSet back from the beach a couple of blocks. The owners seemed really nice. The fan rooms were 700php\/night but they said they would discount the room to 600php\/night for stays longer than 5 nights. The a\/c rooms were 1200php\/night. <\/p>\n
\nThe a\/c rooms looked really nice from the outside. They were completely booked though and I think about 2400php\/night. We stayed in a fan room here for 2 nights with another friend. The room was 1220php\/night for all 3 of us. <\/p>\n
\nWe had some friends who stayed here. It was 1300php\/night for an A\/C room without a balcony. Corong-corong is a 5 minute trike ride from El Nido town, which is about 50php each way. If you are looking for something quieter and beautiful it\u2019s a great option. If you are going to come to town for restaurants or dive trips every day then take that into consideration. <\/p>\nEat<\/h3>\n
\nWe ate here a lot. We are typically wary of pizza outside of Italy or New York but it is surprisingly and incredibly legit here. It\u2019s not \u201cgood for the Philippines\u201d pizza, it is just unqualified, straight-up, good pizza. Highly recommend. The pizzas are big enough to share, especially if you get a salad to split as well. It is about 350 \u2013 450php for a pizza depending on what type you get. The red wine is 110php a glass and is surprisingly not bad. I would order it again.<\/p>\n
\nEveryone seems to go here. It a kind of the central tourist hub. You can book tours and ongoing tickets from here and get western style meals. We found the food here to be pretty underwhelming. The internet here seemed to be better in the morning when the rest of the town did not have power. <\/p>\n
\nWe ate here a lot as well. The banana heart curry was incredible. So is the fish kinilaw. Also they have these great nest seats set over the ocean. Lots of vegetarian\/vegan options. Highly recommended. <\/p>\n
