Just 1 inexpensive trike away. They have a rooftop bar that's serving from 7:30am to 10pm, the food rocks and prices are good. The hostel has an overall good and fun vibe.

Featuring a garden, Pugad Hostel, El Nido is located in El Nido in the Palawan region, 400 metres from El Nido Beach. The accommodation provides a concierge service and luggage storage space for guests. I had such a great stay here! The owner was super helpful ,they even gave me a full itinerary and really made sure we had everything we needed. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly. One thing I really loved is that even though it’s a hostel, we still got a private room just for the two of people . It felt way more private and comfortable than a typical hostel setup. The location is perfect, close to everything, and the whole place is clean and cozy. And the bar view facing the limestone cliffs is such a vibe ,definitely one of my favorite spots to relax

Located in Puerto Princesa City, within 7.5 km of Honda Bay and 1.2 km of City Coliseum, Duck & Drift - a Sleeper Hostel - Just 1,7km from Airport provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 3.2 km from Palawan Museum, 3.5 km from Skylight Convention Center and 3.6 km from Immaculate Conception Cathedral. The property is non-smoking and is situated 3.2 km from Mendoza Park. I had such a peaceful and comfortable stay at this hostel. It’s simple but has everything you need — and it’s literally walking distance from the airport, which was perfect for my late-night flight. The place is quiet and cozy, with a comfy bed, two pillows, free tea and coffee, and even a hammock upstairs where you can relax. There’s a small kitchen, free towel provided, and the overall atmosphere is really calm and restful. What made it extra special was the kind lady who runs the place. She genuinely cared and even helped me sort out my transportation for a late-night departure. I also really appreciated that she let me stay and rest in my bed after check-out time for free — such a thoughtful gesture. I had the best night’s sleep here. 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep for the first time since I started this trip. If you need a place to recover and recharge before your next destination, this is the perfect spot. Thank you again for everything!
