Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
These are simple houses located in a tropical forest, a short distance from the beach. It's quite a long walk from the street where all the tricycles finish their ride. With heavy rucksacks it's not very pleasant.

Nice hotel. Quiet place. Clean and confortable room. No hot shower. Not in the city center but a short walk to there, 15 min. You are near the centre but far away from the noise. We recomend. We would come back

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! More than not recommended I discourage you to stay here! first we agreed on the price of 2 nights and 3 days package at 5.200₱, we transferred half before going to El Nido, after we arrived they said that we should pay additional 200 for something about the package and the government, next day morning they said that it was a mistake, instead of 200 we should now pay 400₱ for the same reason. But the worst thing was that night when they told us to pay additional 2800₱ because they made a mistake computing the whole package. If thats not stealing I don't know how to call it. We had to pay almost double of what we agreed initially for a mistake they made. Very disorganized, even they served us a mistaken breakfast (hot dog isbtead of omelette). On top of that the water in the toilet has no power so we had to take showers very near it so the water can reach, wifi doesn't work properly and they don't provide toiletries, only half of a roll of toilet paper, so for that amount for sure we could have had a better accommodation, we chose them for the price and it felt as a scam. Hope this experience serve you all to avoid this place.

First and foremost, you're the one who ruin it. That is why you experience the worst. Here's why, November 19, 2018. We have sent you the proposed itinerary with detailed costing (attached) and you have just confirm it 2 days before your arrival (attached conversation from Nov 19, if you didn't realized your mistakes). I have sent you the DRAFT ITINERARY FOR REVIEW on Nov 19 and perhaps you have read it line by line including costing thereof and already noticed the wrong calculation (if you're smart person, you've noticed it or you've ignored it to trick us during your arrival). The missing 2,800 pesos to the total sum of your payment is your payment for room accommodation which I have neglected to included in the total amount, however, it was written there in the details. you get it already, I know. Nevertheless, if you want to blame us regarding on additional 400? simply blame the Local government of El Nido Palawan for implementing additional charge in Tour A. I know you know it already as I have sent you the advisory on December 2, thereafter your request to book that El Nido is implementing new policy relative to the rehabilitation of this area, again if you're smart person you'll get it and will not demand for it as it was not included in details of the DRAFT PACKAGE that we have offered to you. Actually regret to accommodate you, we shouldn't have accommodated you as book in short notice. You know, your booking affects our booking in place, we have adjusted it to pleased you yet you blame us for shortcoming. With regards to wrong foods that we have served? its your fault, you almost shouting in the face of my wife arguing on 400 pesos that you don't want to pay, who will remember your order, if you are in our shoes?. Shame on you guys, you are irresponsible travelers. Please don't come back as we don't want your irresponsible behavior, grow up man!. If you don't, then just stay on your home country and don't travel if you travel to trick people. You are the real scammer, feel free to read comments from other booking site as proof that we are genuinely provide good service as you claimed that we are very disorganized.
