totally agree with v7 on elnido. you go there now!! been there about 2 months ago too.
went there through a hired van @ P2600 each(8 pax) roundtrip and it served as our main transpo exploring elnido(5 hour ride; 2hr smooth ride then 3 hours of bad due to ongoing road construction).
got a room at greenviews resort at corong2 el nido(10 min away fr town proper) for P3200/nite good 4 pax.
the island hopping adventure described by v7 cost P700/pax.
