I really appreciate the happy adventure in the area. I enjoy watching beautiful places and white beaches. Also I admire the hospitality of the people in El Nido. However I am very sorry to say that people in the area i visited like Bucana and Villa Libertad, thier life is not quite enough for a better living. All these was caused by the "Thumbnail Act" in the locality. People have limited access and area in fishing that triggers poverty in the area and oincrease in rate of the out of school youth. I am very sorry for them. Chris, I always stay in El Nido for a quite sometimes. I really appreciate the happy adventure in the area. I enjoy watching beautiful places and white beaches.

It's along the same street as TaoPhilippines and the Art Cafe........when you smell the house drying the fish your close. Was not that impressed with El Nido. Took a few boat trips and was surprised by the ammount of dead coral.....very very poor snorkling. Far too many people doing the same trips and that was low season, can only imagine what it's like in peak season. Scenery is amazing though. Yeah, I was surprised myself when I found it….lol.

I was using Globe and have no complaints. There is also a gym in El Nido.....50 pesos a session. It's old lifting equipment but does the job.

Max you can get is 20 kbps. But there are free non passworded wifi in elnido hotel - so if you leave close to it you can pick up it's signal. That was about 150 kilobyte per second, which is more than ok for palowan. Actually smart bro sucks in el nido. Max you can get is 20 kbps.

Just use a <a href="http://www.nomad4ever.com/2009/08/17/3gumts-internet-smartbro-or-globe-tattoo-in-the-philippines/">Smart SIM Card</a> and surf with 3G speeds - no problem! ;-) And on top of that, Internet works fairly well in El Nido.
