CASA CECILIA, EL NIDO

CASA CECILIA, EL NIDO


For the duration of our El Nido trip, we stayed in CASA CECILIA.

Reception


Lobby Area

The hostel is around 2-3 blocks from the beachfront, just beside the El Nido Bakery (buy their Pandesal. Its really good!). They have a mini-store at the ground floor where you can buy some Imported items (food, canned goods, perfumes, etc). They also sell bottled water at the concierge ranging from  30-45pesos per bottle.

Since we were 9pax in all, 4 of us stayed in a Quad Room (Ground Floor) while the other 5 stayed in a Family room (2nd Flr). They don't have an elevator so request for a ground floor room if you're with a Senior Citizen for better mobility.

Quad room - 2,500
Family Room - 3,500

Quad Room

2 Double Beds










Their staffs are very courteous and polite. Rooms and facilities are clean and well-maintained. El Nido town is quite small so the restos are all walking distance. They are just right across the Town's Catholic church while the INC church is just a 5 minute trike ride away.

Room comes with a set breakfast which is served at their rooftop. Free flowing Coffee, Tea and Iced Tea of your choice. Breakfast varies per day, they have a schedule of what food to serve daily (Silog Meals or Continental Breakfast).

Wifi is available in their rooms though mas mabilis sa Lobby area nila. Hot water is available at the lobby, they provide a thermos and cups can be requested. In our case, we brought Instant cup noodles so after returning from Island Hopping, we pair these with El Nido Bakery's Pandesal and ayos na ang merienda!

All in all, ok ang CASA CECILIA. With the price we paid and the service rendered, SULIT!

El NIdo... prepping up

PALAWAN - EL NIDO ITINERARY

Its been quite a while since I posted something here, so with that in mind, I would like to share our trip last month in El Nido Palawan.

Compared to my first visit to El Nido, we are a much larger group this time. We supposedly would only be 4 persons travelling together, but ended up being 9 pax in the end. Got our tickets via PAL seat sale for only P1,920 per pax RT. A steal since it already includes baggage allowance of 10kg for check in and 7kg for carry on. Also, PAL provides snacks on board VS that of Cebu Pac.

We will be spending a total of 5 days in Palawan (Oct 9 - 13, 2015), staying 3 nights in El Nido and 1 Night in Puerto Princesa, for our return flight to manila.
10/9       PR2781 ETD Manila  5:20am                       ETA PP  6:40am
10/13     PR2788 ETD Puerto Princesa  6:20pm         ETA Manila  7:40pm

Anyway, a few months before our trip, we already search for tour guides/hostels/van transfers which would offer the best rates for our group. After canvassing rates, we chose to stay in CASA CECILIA (El Nido) and Palo Alto (Palawan) and getting the tour services of Kuya Joseph Ednalino (Palawan Tourist Transport and Services). --- Will post a separate review of their services.
