The Best Hostels in El Nido and Palawan

El Nido is a Philippine municipality on Palawan island. It's known for white-sand beaches, coral reefs and as the gateway to the Bacuit archipelago, a group of islands with steep karst cliffs. Miniloc Island is famed for the clear waters of its Small and Big lagoons. The area has many dive sites, including Dilumacad Island's long tunnel leading to an underwater cavern. The town, sandwiched between towering limestone karst cliffs and Bacuit Bay, is cluttered with buildings that creep onto the beach and businesses that cater to tourists. Centre stage is the looming Cadlao Island just offshore. Taking a room in town means being close to restaurants and beachside bars, but also closer to the everyday sights and sounds; otherwise, you can stay in one of the nearby communities, or in the archipelago itself. It is a beautiful tropical area, with close access to many other beautiful sight. It is a great option for a base to explore the lagoons and dive sights nearby. There are plenty of things to see and do in this area, and, luckily, there are also several cost friendly accommodations to help you enjoy your stay here too.
