We stayed at Purple Fountain in PP for 1 night before our journey to El Nido. In El Nido, stayed at Sei Nazioni cottages. Our group enjoyed both but this was 3.5yrs ago. Have fun!!

Two years ago I stayed at Puerto Princessa Pension Hotel and it was decent. Didn't like my place at El Nido, so don't recommend Island Front Resort.

If you need a hotel in Manila near the airport I found Tune Aseana Hotel was good. But book ahead as the prices go up closer to the booking date.
