El Nido is a 6 hour drive from Puerto Princesa. We rented out a van from our family friend & drove it to El Nido. The last hour of the trip will be on a rough road but once you see Bacuit Bay, everything will be worth it. It's PARADISE!
Contrary to what others believe, going to El Nido is not that expensive. We booked our flights from cebu pacificair. They had an ongoing piso sale. Our roundtrip tickets costs P1400 only. There are several bus lines (aircon & nonaircon) and aircon vans going to Elnido.
We booked Marina Garden Beach Resort & got 2 deluxe Country Villa rooms (3pax/room) with free breakfast for 2940/room. The room is equipped with cableTV, hot/cold shower, Aircon, 1 single bed & 1 double bed. They overbooked that time. They texted me around 10am informing me that our room is not yet available & if it's possible that we will be transferred to another inn (non-beachfront). Of course I said no. We booked them in advance to make sure that we get the rooms that we wanted & because they are a beachfront inn. I was promised that they will work it out. We arrived around 6pm & was welcomed by heavy rain. Unluckily, our rooms were not yet ready. Another group still occupied our rooms. We were given a temporary room while waiting. After 2 hours, we transferred to our rooms. When we had some chat with the guests from Sweden who arrived after us, we learned that they lost 1 room too. You should make sure that this doesn't happen when you book them. Other than that, I would recommend this place.
Non-beachfront accomodations are much cheaper. you can get one for P600 a night.
