Among Palawan's tourist destinations, El Nido Resorts is a persuasive choice
Palawan made it to No. 1 among 20 entries in the “Best Islands in the World: Readers’ Choice Awards 2015” conducted by the New York-based Conde Nast Traveler magazine.
Among many tourist destinations in Palawan, the most recent attraction is the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River—named as one of the seven new natural wonders of the world.
For the first-timer who prefers convenience, privacy and the privilege to see nature’s splendor—or what remains of it—El Nido Resorts is a persuasive choice.
Although travel is by air, checking in is hassle-free—not in Naia but in a private hangar with a nice lounge that offers snacks and drinks while waiting for the flight.
The chartered flight, in a small plane which carries about 30 people, is not claustrophobic. The flight takes about an hour.
El Nido Resorts has four islands—Apulit, Lagen, Miniloc and Pangulasian—all of which may be visited even if you’re booked in just one of them. There are boat rides that may be arranged, say, to go snorkeling in Miniloc, have snacks in Lagen and drop in on other islands just for the sheer pleasure on wading on seawater and dragging the feet in sand.
