Happiness Hostel El Nido features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in El Nido. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, luggage storage space and free WiFi.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the hostel. This is a really good hostel, the location is perfect, is one block from the beach and all the tours start on that point. The staff is so friendly and they help you with everything, they even organized my transfer to my next hostel in puerto princesa for a really good price. There is free coffee and hot sweet bread every morning, free bananas all day. The view from the balcony is amazing, beds are really comfortable and you can ask for extra blankets at night. Really good experience, as a solo traveler you can feel that the girls are always taking care of you and be sure that you feel comfortable everyday saying hello with a big smile ❤️

Set in El Nido and with Calitang Beach reachable within 200 metres, Lazy Juan Beach House Nacpan offers a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace.

At the hostel all rooms come with air conditioning and a private bathroom. Everything......I found myself looking for a place to spend a few days near Nacpan Beach and I found myself at "home". It's hard to explain, it's not a star hotel but, I loved it and continue to love it. A few minutes walk from Napcan and Twin Beach here you will find three special guys who will fill you with good advice and give you part of their relaxation. An addition, if you have the chance, try their typical Filipino dinner....mouth-watering.

Located in El Nido and with Caalan Beach reachable within a few steps, OIA Beach Hostel - El Nido provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

At the hostel, each room comes with a shared bathroom with a bidet. Absolutely loved OIA—I even extended my stay just to slow down, relax, and soak it all in. The volunteers were super friendly and kept arranging fun hostel outings and activities that made it effortless to meet other travelers and feel at home right away. The hammocks look straight out over the water, and being steps from the beach meant an easy, peaceful swim any time of day. Kayaks are available to paddle to nearby islands, which was a memorable little adventure between chill sessions. The music—played by the local volunteers and on most of the time—set a calm, laid‑back vibe that made the whole place feel incredibly soothing. The food was tasty and fairly priced, so eating in never felt expensive and the portions hit the spot. Overall, OIA is that rare mix of community, comfort, and breathtaking views that makes leaving hard—highly recommend.

Outpost Beach Hostel features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in El Nido. Among the facilities at this property are a concierge service and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides karaoke and an ATM. What can I say… if you want an unforgettable hostel experience then you should choose Outpost. I only stayed for 2 nights, but my stay was so lovely. Rooms are decent and spacious, beds are comfy, you got lockers and privacy curtains, a clean bathroom. The location is alright, you would have to take a tuktuk if you wanted to head to El Nido town, however the hostel is right at the beach, so no complaints there. The staff - you feel right at home because of all of the staff. It’s a pretty social hostel, with events like karaoke/bbqs/beerpong every night! The atmosphere feels really cosy, the staff will sit and chat with you about life and whatnot, making you feel welcome. They remember your name and always greet you with a big smile. Big recommend staying here!!!
