El Nido is a wonderful little town. It’s full of cafes, bars, restaurants & shops and you can just stroll around. It’s safe and wonderfully friendly. 18:00 they close off the traffic so the downtown is completely pedestrianised. This is the best time to be out and about in El Nido. If you’re going to be bothered by the sound of music coming out of bars and their occasionally noisy customers leaving, and like to sleep with the AC off, then do NOT stay in a budget hotel downtown El Nido. Zaniya’s is right in the centre of all this. Our rooms were spacious and clean. Comfy beds. Air conditioned. The en-suite bathrooms were a little cramped and the water pressure low. The owner has just taken over running the place and is super cool. We came for 1 night and stayed for 3. We’re a family of 5 comprising big kids and little kids. We headed out on a boat tour one day and a trip to Nacpan another. We did laundry, had pedicures, changed money and had fun in the Sava bar, the Pangolin & the Pukka disco. We all enjoyed ourselves in El Nido. I like to think we’ll be back at Zaniya’s one day.
