This is a beautiful new accommodation just a 5/10 min tuk tuk from the main hustle bustle of el nido, so ideal to escape the chaos of the main town. The accommodation itself is really beautiful and you couldn't get any better staff looking after you. The shower facilities are the best I've experienced in the Philippines. If I'm ever back in el nido this is the only place for me to stay

The location is good, the room is spacious and clean and the facilities are adequate, ac works fine. What is special about this accommodation is the caretaker Rankin who is extremely welcoming and accommodating. He gave us advice about the beaches, restaurants and fishing spots. He introduced us to some of his friends and all of us spent an amazing evening hanging out. Due to all of this, this was one of the more memorable experience in the Philippines.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

    The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

    One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

    Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
