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 (:

It 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

Hosts were awesome! Treated me like family. Absolutely loved the location. The guesthouse was incredibly comfortable.

Gordo 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.

The 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

Gordon 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!

Gordon 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.

Gordon and his wife are very nice hosts, they gave us lot of tips, welcomed us like family. They prepare amazing breakfast. If you like adventure and you are not very very picky about your comfort, this place is perfect experience. We had a private kayak tour to remote beach areas thanks to Gordo. The location is remote from the town, you need to walk through local fisherman village - no danger, but not for everyone. Thank you Gordo and Cristina for nice stay in El Nido.

This place is excellent value for money and Gordon and Christina are really nice! Feels like a bit of a winding road through some of the houses and shops to get there but once you settle in you realise it is a total hidden gem. The views in the morning are brilliant, for those who like to wake up with a bit of serinity in your surroundings. Breakfast menu is fairly varied with a good mix of cereals fresh fruits and variety of eggs. The dorm rooms are equipped with fans, there are lock boxes and Gordon advertises kayaking tours.

Thanks to gordon and his wife, they are very nice people, always smiling and helpfull. El gordo adventure kayak tour with a guide was really perfect, maybe the best activity during our holidays. You work hard padling and the rewards is wonderful, the nicest beach, the island without all the tourist, you are alone and you enjoy, this is your choice to decide how long you want to stay on each beaches lagoons... The accomodation itself is 15 min away from town so if you dont like Walking in the dark dont go, I saw a lot of bad coments concerning the area, but people there, are so nice, gently, the kids are so cute, I was feeling more in security than in Paris Metro. You Can't go to a country and avoid the reality, some people here are struggling to live but even with that they are not complaining. Florent & marine
