Just want to share this with your readers:
To those looking for super budget accommodation,
Magos Cottages of Mang Victor Magos located in
Corong Corong is super cheap. I only paid P200 a
day last Jan 2013. Room is good for two; no electric
fan but windows can be opened for ventilation.
Structure is somewhat aged, and made of wood
and bamboo. The four rooms are very basic;
there is no running water but there is a deep well,
so you can wash clothes for free. Ideal for the no-frills
backpacker.
Thanks for reading!
And oh, the road to El Nido from Taytay is still
work in progress in some stretches (as of Jan 2013),
so expect a little bump along the way, but otherwise
the rest of the trip is pleasant.
hahaha, but this list a good place to start. got a 300/night room! adaphobic and lakas ng trip stayed there too. 😀
]]>Hey Dan, I was just in El Nido last April, and the road is still not finished. About 70% of the drive was on very rough road. Bumpy ride aside, it’s not so bad. Enjoy your trip!
]]>You’re welcome! A lot of new places have popped up since I made this in 2010. Just walk around town for one that fits your budget 🙂
]]>Myra, I did not get the contact number of our tour operators during this particular this. There are plenty of tour agents in El Nido town, and unless you really need to arrange for a special tour ahead of time, there’s no need to contact anybody.
However, if you really want to customize your tour, you can contact Aleo Almedo at 09215964365 or 09278800763. He has his own boat and if you want an exclusive tour or if you want to camp in the islands, as we did during PHL360, he can arrange that for you.
]]>you may email me the contact details.
thank you in advance.

]]>Hi Manilyn, sorry for the late reply. For El Nido, you don’t have to book a tour in advance, unless you have a specific itinerary in mind and want to have the entire boat to yourselves. Otherwise, you can just walk into any tour operator in El Nido town and ask which tours can still accommodate you. Of course, if you do this second option, you’d have to share the boat with other tourists.
If you want, I can recommend a contact in El Nido who can arrange a tour for you.
