IslandFront Cottages and Restaurant,


The hotel we chose for our stay in El Nido was Islandfront. It's a small and cozy hotel located down by the beach just a few minutes from town with a tricycle. The hotel looks more like a garden and somewhere behind all the flowers and bushes, you will find the hidden cottages. 

The hotel serves breakfast and also has a restaurant. The service is not the fastest, but it seems to be like that all over the island. A good thing is, that whatever you need, the people you ask will organize it for you. The restaurant is usually packed with people who is using the free wifi, since the lobby is the only place where you can find connection. 

El Nido doesn't have any bigger resorts, more family owned businesses and small guest houses. Some guest houses only has four rooms for example. The staff working in hotels and restaurants tend to be young here in the Philippines. In South Korea the restaurant staff tend to be old grandmas, but here, it's hard to guess their age, but I guess they are in my age, or even younger. I managed to snap some pictures of the place, so here is a few. 


I'm pleased with my stay at Islandfront and El Nido, even though the weather wasn't the best. Today we will head back to Puerto Princesa, and in the end of this week, we are off to Cambodia. 

Not to forget my studies in South Korea, the course registration is taking place on the 23rd of January at midnight. I already managed to chose a few courses, but there was not that much to chose from. I wished for six courses, but as it looks at the moment, I will only take five. Let's see, after tomorrow I will know.
