“Magical sunset in El Nido”
Forest Camp is located in a amazing spot, in the middle of the jungle , you have to climb 80 steps but the sunsets was unbelievable ! The room is quite nice and clean and you can see the magical view to El Nido from the window! Unreal ! The staff is kind and friendly and they make a good pancake from breakfast! Salamat 🙏

“Very bad”
The location is very complicated to find. There are not a signals and instructions from the owner. I only see the hundred steps to climb the hill till the "challer". And it was enough to decided change the accommodation. I lose money and time.

“For Nature Lovers”
The view is splendid, speechless. It's written Forest Camp so it was like forest camp, for me could be even more challenging. I loved that you need to climb to get to the bungalow or to toilet. That was green and full of insects, birds, animals. Stuff was cute and friendly and very helpful. ( I got sick and felt tlc). Hope to come back one day. Definitely place for nature lovers.

“Peace in mind!”
It was a blast. The best choice I made in 4 weeks traveling! Beautiful place! Mystical view in the morning and the sunset!!! Simple and clean! Mona Lisa and her familie are angels! It's a beautiful 7 mins walk from the town square. Perfect to calm down before heading to the "mighty jungle" and sleep in the forest. I would visit again and again! Worth every penny!

When we arrived at the hotel, it turned out there was no room available. Two other girls were also sitting at the reception and had been left without rooms, even though we all had confirmed reservations through Booking. The owner lives in Canada, and the administrator tried to contact him, but it was nighttime there and it wouldn’t have changed anything anyway. It felt like a very irresponsible attitude. Most likely, the reservations had simply not been properly closed or managed. We had to look for another hotel. I hope to receive a refund of the amount we paid.

“Back to nature resort”
If you're looking for something cheap, with an outstanding view, then this is the place for you. It's a fairly steep climb to get to the accommodation, but the view from the top is completely worth it! It's peaceful and relaxing, if you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle of El Nido. The staff were super helpful, offering help with booking tours and transport and it's a lovely scenic walk back to the main square.

“Amazing views”
A bit of a different place to stay if you are searching for an experience. The views were great. Also the location is very walkable from El Nido centre. At first I was a bit scared that it would be too far, but actually it wasn’t at all. The hosts are very friendly. I was late for my breakfast and he kept it and I could eat later.

On 24 th november check in to Forest camp el Nido, which has indeed the best view in el Nido. But for the view as usually you have to hike a little bit . Good location. Here local life is mixed with tourists. You can see kids playing around, local life . You can easily get local food and you have beach to explore. Camp is not so far from el Nido town. Place located close to Calaan beach. Big cars and vans usually do not drive here. You can walk or take tuk-tuk/ bike. I stayed here only one night but place is soooo beautiful that all its disadvantages ) will not spoil the stay. I would stay here much longer and maybe come back.
