El Nido, Philippines – February 2024
Do you want to know how to have an epic island adventure in the Philippines? Want to see paradise on Earth? Are you a busy professional visiting Philippines and have a free weekend? Then El Nido is a perfect location for you!
El Nido is in one of the Philippines islands called Palawan – made famous by the Money Heist TV series & The Bourne Legacy movie.
I was on a business trip to Manila, Philippines for two weeks & during the weekend I wanted to venture out & experience one of the popular islands in the Philippines, El Nido.
I travelled from Manila to El Nido on a Friday night & back to Manila on Sunday night. I was blown away by the natural beauty. A must visit place & a perfect trip for a solo female traveler!
Highlights
In El Nido, I stayed at a beautiful hotel called H hotel which was just 2 minute walk away from El Nido beach. The hotel catered to Vegan tastes. As a semi-vegetarian, it was perfect hotel option for me.
Pro Tip #1: Ask for the hotel to arrange for airport pickup in advance – they will do it for you free of charge.
The location felt very safe for a solo -female traveler. I had dinner at the hotel restaurant called Ver de, delicious vegan fare.
Shortly after dinner, I booked an island hopping tour through the hotel’s hospitality group.
There are 4 types of El Nido island hopping tour, literally– Tour A, Tour B, Tour C & Tour D. I picked the most popular Tour A since I only had a weekend. It’s perfect for first timers!
Pro Tip #2: The hotels in El Nido can book you an island trip and get you a packed lunch for your trip. Take advantage of that!
