El Gordo's Seaside Adventure Lodge
Sitio Tandul, Barangay Buena Suerte, Palawan, 5313 El Nido, Philippines – Great location - show map
The hosts are very kind and accomodating and the breakfast was (indeed) the best we had during our stay in the Philippines. The view from the lodge is amazing! When it's low tide, you can walk in front of the lodge and look for sea creatures. The lodge is located in the local area away from the noisy tourists. It's a small 10 minute walk to the tourist area and you can enjoy some local Filipino snacks along the way. We loved our stay here!

Views were amazing and the host were very friendly and accommodating

I loved the hostess and host, and the breakfast they have is truly amazing, it was all just great.

Nice quiet location for El Nido. Gordon and Cristina are amazing hosts and organised all the activities without and hassle. They also have great breakfasts.

Staff, clean beds, quiet place, location and good price.

Good price. Location is on the edge of the sea so you can see and hear the waves. The owners are really friendly and helpful. They helped me a out a couple of times with medical supplies, rice for my waterlogged phone and general advice about what to do and not to do in the area. It felt like a very communal atmosphere.

The friendliest staff I’ve ever met; kinda feel like they were my parents! You can book all the island hopping tours, boat to Coron, van to Puerto Princesa etc with their help. The location is amazing, 10 mins away from the busy and touristy streets of El Nido, it’s really nice to be around locals. Breakfast is 10/10, I mean everything is just so delicious!! free coffee and water also available

I really loved the vibe of the place!! Christina and Gordon are super lovely and helpful hosts. The guesthouse is located in the local community a bit outside the city, is quiet and feels more authentic.

Very friendly hosts, they can help you with everything. Feels like coming home after a day in el nido and around. Good sea view!

Lovely location, great view from the balcony. A few minutes walk from the centre of El Nido. Set in the heart of the local Philipino community full of smiling happy children. Didn't want to leave.
