Kawai Duli Bungalows — Hotel in El Nido

The rooms look nice, but are sweltering, fly infested torments with totally fake aircon, no breakfast, and no Wi-Fi in real life.

Purely symbolic aircon - maybe made the room

Here at Kawai Duli Beach Front is a blatant disregard for holy week, the environment and others. Throw a party by all means and enjoy yourselves; when neighbors come and ask you to turn the exorbitantly loud volume down late in the evening so people can sleep, please be mindful and respectful.

This is my second stay at Duli. From 6 pm on Holy Wednesday the 27th of March they played their extremely loud music recreating/selling their event as a Full Moon party (which already passed days ago) that lasted until past 1:00 am. The first time I stayed at Duli, they also threw a party with very loud reverberating music on New Year’s Eve until 4:00 am on New Year’s Day. On both nights, other guests and myself were woken up from sleep several times because of the sheer volume and thumping of their bass. As it was meant to be a quiet week in remembrance of Jesus’ death, at 11:00 pm we got up and walked over and asked if they could turn down their music but the guys behind the DJ set turned it even louder. I let them know how rude they were for responding this way and they even asked why I had to raise my voice—as if it wasn’t obvious that he could barely hear because of the louder volume they had! A guy who presented himself as the owner first said his name was George then changed to Darwin, claims he owned the property and had a permit to play this loud disruptive music once a month, but refused to show the permit. I tried to reason with him and asked if they could be considerate and turn the volume down so that we could sleep but he and the other guys with him said that they were partying and we should just join them or leave Duli. They kept playing their loud music throughout the night. Even if you wear earplugs you still hear and feel the music from the other end of cove.

The next morning you could see their mess in the beach, a dirty huge fire pit and tons of rubbish on...

Mabuhay,

My Fiancé, Friend and I, the three of us had a wonderful time there at Kawai Duli Bungalow.

The only problem we had was water flow in our issue one night.

However, the Water Flow of our Shower was fixed in a timely matter.🙂

Every Resort and Hotel will have issues, it’s a part of life.

Other than that, we did a few activities such as; Overlooking Views of the Island and Ocean, Caving, ATV and Beach BBQ.

There are plenty of other activities to do, it’s more of a personal preference and the activities above is what we chose to do while visiting El Nido, Palawan.

On top of our fun activities, we were invited to go to a Local Festival Celebration which is a part of Philippine Culture with lots of fun, loud music, dancing, food and welcoming conversations, we had a blast!

Just be ready when you are in the Philippine’s because it’s one of those most celebrated festival and holiday country which will fall into the next morning 😂. You will hear loud music regardless where you are visiting and staying. Loud Noise Curfews do not exist, so bring your Earplugs if you don’t like late noise creeping to the morning hours.

The Staff at Kawai Duli Bungalows was very friendly and attentive to our needs and wants.

Breakfast included while staying here, they even customized my breakfast which was very nice of them to do, thank you 🙏!

My Fiancé and I have already made plans to return!

Until next time, thank you, again, Kawai Duli...
