This is a great hostel. Very clean, right on the beach, incredible service. It did get rowdy at night, but was not a trashy vibe at all - fine if you were not trying to party. We are a couple in our 30s and enjoyed ourselves.

Vi bodde i hyttene på toppen, det var veldig kjekt. God seng, god gjennomtrekk da det blåste en del, mulig det er varmere når det ikke er vind, men det er en ganske solid vifte der inne som nok klarer å kjøle det en del ned. Fest på kvelden, men det varte ikke så lenge. Vi var fornøyde og jeg hadde lett bodd her igjen :)

With 19 rooms available, this property offers a focused environment for travelers seeking social interaction and proximity to the coast. Check-in is available from 14:00 to 00:00, while check-out must be completed before 12:00. This hostel stands out by providing a dedicated social atmosphere specifically for adult travelers looking to connect with like-minded individuals in a coastal setting.

It is an ideal choice for those who want to spend their days swimming and their evenings meeting new friends, all while keeping travel expenses manageable through Traveloka.

Location and Getting to Mad Monkey Hostel Nacpan Beach - Adults Only

Address and Directions

The hostel is situated in the quiet area of Sitio Calitang, Barangay Bucana. To reach this location from the El Nido Lio Airport, you can hire a tricycle or a private van. A tricycle ride typically costs between ₱500 and ₱800 depending on your negotiation skills and the number of passengers. If you are arriving from other parts of the Philippines, you should first book flight tickets to Puerto Princesa or El Nido to begin your journey.

Once you arrive in the town proper, the journey to the hostel takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes by road. The route takes you through scenic provincial roads that showcase the lush greenery of Palawan. Because the hostel is located in a more secluded part of the island, it is recommended to arrange your transport in advance to ensure a smooth arrival at the property after your long travel day.

Navigating to the hostel is straightforward for local drivers who are familiar with the Bucana area. If you are traveling with heavy luggage, a private van transfer is often more comfortable than a tricycle. Regardless of your choice, the final stretch of the road offers a glimpse of the coastal beauty that awaits you. Always confirm the exact drop-off point with your driver to ensure you are taken directly to the hostel entrance.

What's Around Mad Monkey Hostel Nacpan Beach - Adults Only

Nacpan Beach is the primary draw, located just 1.44 kilometers away. You can reach this stunning stretch of sand in about 18 minutes by walking or a quick 5-minute tricycle ride. Filipino travelers love this spot because of its long, golden shoreline and clear waters, which provide a refreshing escape from the more crowded beaches found in the main town center of El Nido.

For those who enjoy nature treks, Nagkalit-kalit Falls is located 6.41 kilometers from the hostel. A tricycle ride will take you there in approximately 20 minutes. This waterfall is a favorite among locals and tourists alike for its cool, natural swimming pools and the adventurous jungle trail required to reach it. It is a perfect book attraction opportunity for those who love hiking.

Duli Beach is another nearby highlight, situated 6.51 kilometers away, which takes about 20 minutes to reach by tricycle. This beach is widely recognized for its consistent waves, making it a popular destination for surfers and those who prefer a quieter, more rugged coastal environment. It offers a different perspective of Palawan’s natural landscape compared to the calmer waters of the main tourist beaches.

Exploring these areas is easy when you base yourself at the hostel. Whether you want to surf at Duli, hike to the falls, or simply lounge on the sand at Nacpan, you are positioned perfectly to experience the best of northern Palawan. The proximity to these landmarks ensures that you spend less time commuting and more time enjoying the natural beauty of the region.

Your El Nido Travel Guide

I don't usually write negative reviews but I had to with this hostel. First off, the staff were great, no complaints there. I never stayed in the dorm area as they were all booked so no comment there. I had a loft style room. The stairs up to it were very steep. I can see someone falling on the way down if they've had a few too many. One of the steps was very rotted out and felt like it may give way any day. I get we are in a somewhat remote area of Palawan but the power and wifi kept going off. With no cell coverage, kind of a bummer when trying to arrange your flights etc. My last gripe was their food menu. Everytime I wanted to order anything, "Sorry sir we are all out" The amount of times I heard this for myself and other guests. Whoever is in charge of the food inventory needs to do better. You can walk to any other place on the beach and they have everything available on their menu. I would stay here again but would have lower expectations for certain things.

For a hostel it is a good choice, although we were there during off season and it was incredibly noisy. I can only imagine it during peak season. The reception staff were friendly and helpful but the cleaners and security guy were noisy at all hours. The onsite restaurant was awful, we had one meal and never ate there again. Thankfully the hostel is in a perfect location, on the most beautiful beach with lots of nice places to eat and drink nearby.

They should have a warning 'We party loud through the night to 3am nightly'. They also should change ordering system so you can add up a bill and pay once; guess they don't trust their guests.

Hi, my name is Lanfranco Paliotti and I stayed with my wife in your hostel for 7 days and I am writing to tell you that we could not stay longer. Our stay ruined our vacation in the Philippines. We checked out 1 day early. We tried to communicate but the girl with glasses at the reception was so rude from the beginning that we decided to leave. Three days ago, the light switch and the fan broke just before going to bed. There was a party going on in the hostel so there was no receptionist or maintenance available we had to sleep with the lights on to make the fan work, tormented by mosquitoes and without air and my wife felt sick. The Teepee was full of mosquitoes and sandflies. The next day, we asked for the fan light to be fixed early in the morning. When we returned at 7:00 PM, it had not been fixed yet due to the absence of the general manager. I actually had to say I would fix it myself... so maintenance came. Finally after a long wait of two hours it was fixed (only the fan and not the Light). All our experiences are negative. We waited 3 days for the tour of the islands, so that we could get to the number of 8 people. (the staff was not engaging at all) So the days passed, we could not book a trip elsewhere because we had been notified too late. When we finally got to the number of 8, instead of leaving at 9, we left at 11:45. We waited for 2 and a half hours. On the tour the person in charge was absent and not at all engaging, unfortunately he was not able to swim (th

No electricity from time to time. To be noted that there is no road the hole way to the hostel entrance so you must carry your luggage on rhe beach like 5-10 minutes before u are there so make sure you travel here light if you don’t want to struggle with that Private rooms was much better.
