Guesthouse El Gordo's Adventures and Guesthouse
Sitio Tandul, Barangay Buena Suerte, Palawan, 5313 El Nido, Philippines – Good location – show map
One of the homiest hostels I’ve stayed at. Gordon and Christine were super friendly. I also got a free t short because i stayed a few nights (:
IsraelIt was lovely and different to anywhere else in el Nido and Gordo his wife where lovely lots to do only 10 mins from main area
United KingdomHosts were awesome! Treated me like family. Absolutely loved the location. The guesthouse was incredibly comfortable.
CanadaGordon and his wife were very kind and helpful and the location has a wonderful view!
FranceStaff incredibly helpful and nice. Hostel was right on the water which made for a peaceful stay. The breakfast was incredible! Free coffee, tea and cookies was a bonus. Beds were comfortable.
CanadaGreat place, lovely couple is super helpful. Plus it is off the main noisy el nido party center, so you can actually sleep here. Small hidden heaven with best breakfast in whole Palawan. Ask tricycle to bring you to old basketball court when you look for it. Cost around 100php from bus terminal.
SlovakiaGordo was excellent! Great guy to have a chat too. His wife made us breakfast every morning which was amazing! Recommend to omelette, I couldn’t finish mine one day so Gordo offered to place in the fridge and the heat for me the next day ☺️👏🏽 location was great, easy walk in to town and the locals in the area were all lovely and helpful.
AustraliaThe food was amazing! The banana pancakes and the sausage breakfast was delicious. The staff was very nice, accomodating and friendly. I love that the water was just outside. Listening to the waves at night was so lovely. It was close to a lot of things to so such as the Taraw Cliff hike
CanadaGordon and his wife Cristina have been amazing. They are both very relaxed, friendly and helpful. I love the story of the guesthouse and how/where they built it. Recommended for romantic stays in the private room with view or for cheap accommodation in the small dorm!
CanadaGordon was very helpful and adviced us on everything we needed. With his wife they have a very nice relationship with local kids and support them, e.g. during X-mas time when they prepare small gifts for them. True experience, so much different to hotel resort, you get to know how rather poor form the surroundings live.

Host Info
Our guesthouse is one of the few El Nido properties that is actually seaside. It is built from mainly native materials (wood and bamboo) to give it an authentic Filipino look. We recently renovated our seaside deck to include 3 levels; main, upper, and lower.
My wife Cristina and I are one of the few owner-occupied guest houses because we truly giving our guests the best possible service. I was a triathlete and now a long distance swimmer and so like to promote an active lifestyle to our guests. That is why we offer kayaks and stand up paddle boards.
One of the most interesting features about our location is that we are not part of the tourist district but part of an authentic fisherman's village. We support the local day care center and buy 200 Christmas gifts for the local children.
