Kanipa Beach Glamping — Hotel in El Nido

We stayed 2 nights for 144€ at kanipa glamping, arriving when the sun almost had set, only then realizing that it’s in the middle of the jungle without any reception or wifi. The site has 2 bungalows and we were the only guests. The bungalows are newly build but full of termites, which made it impossible to open the bags as everything was always covered in white dust. On the second night we had light winds which caused the bungalows to move from left to right. Lastly you can smell the canal in your room.

The next minimart is 20 min walking through the jungle and there is no car or motorcycle directly onsite. Bring 3 European women, ofc you’re being noticed when walking around at night which did not make us feel any safer.

If you want to hire a motorcycle you need to be lucky that one is available, if so it’s 700 pesos for 12 hours and you can be sure that the hotel is taking a cut as for both the motorcycle and the car the hotel wanted to see the cash upfront. Going to el nido town one way is 2500 pesos (40€), so recommendation is to hire a motorcycle in el nido to be flexible.

The beach is clean but you can’t really swim there due to large waves.

They have a small menu though everything you get including fish is frozen, we had veggie food only which was good and freshly prepared by the family living at the hotel and taking care of the property. Breakfast is unfortunately very sad with 2 slices of white bread and an overcooked fried egg. Add any type of meat if you like.

So overall, a disappointment as it was overpriced and did not live up to the description or expectation based on the...
