It's not that the Maldives are unaffordable | this place offers even better value for money
This is a mysterious sea area, with stunning seascapes, delicate beaches, and a journey that feels like an adventure.
This is Palawan's El Nido and Coron. Due to the complex journey, not many tourists make it here, which is why it retains a sense of pristine beauty.
El Nido is mainly known for its seascapes paired with otherworldly mountainous islands, with many famous spots to check in, and lagoons hidden among the sea and mountains that are both mysterious and beautiful.
Coron, apart from having similar seascapes to El Nido, also has some small islands with delicate beaches, the fineness of which can rival the Maldives, and the underwater world of Coron is truly exceptional, with snorkeling views that are among the best in Southeast Asia.
Itinerary: Departing from within the country, one usually first travels to Manila, then from Manila flies to Puerto Princesa, from Puerto Princesa takes a car to El Nido, after visiting El Nido takes a boat to Coron, and finally flies back to Manila from Coron. However, if you are short on time and don't want the hassle, you can just visit Coron, with direct flights from Manila to Coron.
love this place. the people are so .nice and welcoming. Go on island hopping trips and city tours. explore the town and its history as well as the islands and beaches. This place often missed.but definitely worth a visit. i stayed at canvas boutique hotel near the hotel.

If you book an island hotel, there will be free pick-up and drop-off service; you can also report a day trip. There is only one hotel on the island Dos Palmas ( search the official website for reservations by the name of the hotel), about 70 rooms, all of which are villa rooms. The villas are arranged along the side of the island, and other parts of the island remain original and jungles are scattered. After going to the island, it was basically isolated from the world. Wifi is only available in the reception center in the center of the island. In order to save power, the room has an hour of water and power outage every morning and afternoon. Here, I finally put down my mobile phone and grabbed the red envelope during the Spring Festival. It is quiet and remote, as if to the sky. Lie down on the beach, subconsciously finally and the bustling modern society, The advanced network telecommunications opened the distance and the brain began to blank. The biggest activity on the island was water sports. If you are a good rower, you can row a rubber boat around the island. The water around the island is very shallow, even many times, we have to jump into the water to push the stranded boat. As we slowly slid the boat, farther and farther from the shore, there was no panic and timidity in our hearts, because the water was getting clearer and clearer, and the wonderful sight was more and more in front of us. Three or five groups of flying fish, lined up across the sea, like the water we played when we were young, jumped over. There were even a few flying fish that almost had to come to my face. Only with eyes to record the moment. The world was really amazing! Every hour on the island, there was a boat carrying tourists to the floating pavilion in the sea to snorkel. It was more fun to go to the island or swim. Just overcome the fear of water, put on a life jacket, wear a snorkeling mask, and dive head into the water to see a world in the water. In Princess harbor, I went to several snorkeling places, the coral and rock around the island is the most abundant, like an underwater palace. I hope I can take some beautiful pictures with a waterproof camera next time. There are not many choices for food on the island, only in the hotel restaurant. The dinner buffet also includes breakfast, and it looks like one person 100RMB, which is also very affordable. On the night of the New Year, the hotel specially changed to a red tablecloth and hung a small lantern. A singing and dancing party and a huge fireworks were also held.
Aside from the famous Underground River tour, you may avail this half day city tour that we experienced during our stay in Puerto Princesa. We went to different places that obviously we really enjoyed. Like the Baywalk, Butterfly Garden , Crocodile farm, Kuyba Almonica, Mitra's Ranch , Baker's Hill .
