Thanks for that. Actually what I was thinking also. Crash a few days at Gloria’s first and search around for something suitable.
Can’t wait..Love that place!

-Krok- There are a few places for long term stay in El Nido. Actually all guest houses will most likely give you an option for reduced rates for 2-3 months.

For renting a cottage or two try heading to either Cliffside cottages, or head to place called the Golden Monkey, and keep asking all the guest house owners along that strip for their rates. Be sure to tell them how long you be there for. Then ask for a discount. Keep in mind to also ask if they have things like a generator, gas cooker, electricity and water. Or if it includes things like breakfast.

In other words spend a day doing this when you arrive and tick the essentials off you list and find a middle ground on a place that will suit you and your needs.

Hope that helps.

Which place did you stay at?
Been in EN last year for 10 days vacation, planning a 2-3 month stay (working vacation) from June (also on a tight budget)
What you recommend for an extended stay, being able to cook for oneself? (We are 3 actually…wish I knew where t ask where one can rent a cheap house)

Hi Abdullah,

Yep, budget travel for me is a must. But moreover its a better way to meet local people.

Its not possible for me to live somewhere with out this.
