Cheap Accommodations in El Nido: Budget Hotels and Lodgings

I decided to compile a list of cheap to midrange priced accommodations such as hotels, resorts, cottages, lodgings, pensions, and inns in El Nido. There are actually a lot of them but in my list, I only included popular choice among travelers, especially budget travelers.

There are several options to book hotels or accommodations in El Nido. Great example is Agoda, El Nido.

Corong-Corong Bay

There are actually 4 main locations to choose from when staying in El Nido:

  • Town’s beach front — a great location to stay; perfect view to have coffee every morning; overlooking the Bacuit Bay; and where most bars and restaurants are.
  • Corong-corong (3 to 5 min tricycle ride from town) — quiet location, perfect view of sunset
  • Calaan (10 to 15 min walk from town) and; — quite location, perfect view of sunset
  • Away from the beach, town proper (3 to 8 min walk from beach front) — opportunity to interact with locals and other travelers; where eateries, souvenir shops, bars, night clubs, and nice restaurants are situated.  This is where I stayed.

There are some in Taytay; however, the location is already too far from the El Nido town proper where most main activities are.

There are 3 ways to choose or book the right hotel or budget accommodation for you through this blog.
1) Book via Agoda to guarantee reservation (recommended for peak season).
2) Download the list of hotels and budget accommodations in El Nido in PDF format. The list was arranged  from lowest to highest price rates.
3) Start by choosing your preferred location using the Location Tabs above (Beach front or Calaan, Town proper, Corong-Corong).

From time to time, I will be checking this blog post to make sure that everything is up-to-date. If you just recently discovered a new hotel or budget accommodation in El Nido and wish to add in our list, you may contact me anytime and I would be happy to update the list.

Reminders

Room rates

The room rates indicated on the Location tabs are off-peak season based and some are fan rooms which are good for two. It is important to contact the respective hotel and accommodation first and ask which fits your needs such as having free WiFi, air-con, 24-hr electricity (El Nido doesn’t have 24-hr access to electricity), hot shower, private bathrooms, etc.

Agoda reservations

Booking via Agoda is convenient and recommended for peak season travels yet 5% to 8% higher than walk-in rates. So I recommend that you contact the respective hotel or room accommodation for personal or direct reservations and payment rather than using online reservation websites.

    For those who are planning to stay at Tay Miloy’s Inn (a known cheap lodging in El Nido based from Lakas.com.ph) expect what you pay for. Bathroom aren’t really nice =( I wasn’t able to poop there for two days because it doesn’t have a cover. It maybe cheap and recommended for budget solo travelers.

    But if you’re traveling in two or more, better yet try El Nido Skyline Inn or The Alternative Inn.

    Hi Jakeline! Thanks so much for reading my blog! It isn’t really peak season yet in El Nido, so yes, upon arrival you will find lots of accommodations. I recommend The Alternative Inn (beachfront) and other lodges that is next to that. :-) Locals and tricycle drivers knows every accommodations there! Enjoy your trip to the Philippines!

    Wait, I just reread that you said April 11 HAHA. April is peak season in the Philippines, so to guarantee room, you can try contacting the respective lodge/accommodation and reserve the room for you. ;-)

    Hello Ada,
    I have a question with regards sa beaches in el nido town proper. Okay ba dun for swimming? Or baka marumi, mabato or madaming banka. Kasi we are planning to stay there and looking for a beachfront place and what’s the point of getting a beachfront kung hindi naman ok yung beach. Hope you can help!

    Ada Lajara Reply:

    Hi Paige!

    El Nido town proper has only one beach, ito yung Bacuit Bay. You are right, maraming bangka talaga sa mga hotels na beachfront but the view is BREATHTAKING! The only time that you can really swim is during the Island Hopping activity itself. :-)

    You can still swim sa beachfront habang yung mga banka ay nagiislang hop ;-)

    Hello Ada, just back fron the Philippines and malaysia. spent 7 glorious days in El Nido staying at Islandfront cottages on Corong Corong beach.. We just walked in and had no problem with getting a room. The view was fantastic and the place sooo quiet and relaxing, so very different than staying in town. The food at Sea slugs was great but service soooooooooo slow lol. Spent alot of time on the terrace at The Artcafe, chilling, scrabble, talking and easting and drinking. Perfect. El Nido was fantastic all round. Then back to PP for a couple of days. Kaluisssss! WOW! I’m going back some day come what may to El Nidooooo. lol.
