Welcome to Islandfront, your peaceful beachfront home in El Nido, Palawan. Proudly Filipino-owned and family-run, our property is rooted in simplicity, nature, and the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you feel right at home. We offer a variety of native-style rooms—each one thoughtfully designed using local materials like bamboo, nipa, and wood. Whether you’re waking up to a sunrise over the sea or relaxing in a garden-view cottage, you’ll feel the charm of authentic island living. Islandfront is located just steps away from the beach, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after a long day of exploring. Watch the waves, breathe in the ocean air, and let time slow down. Many of our guests say it’s their favorite spot to sit, think, and simply be. We may not offer luxury—but we offer heart. Each room is clean, comfortable, and fitted with the basics you need to rest and recharge. No tall buildings. No crowds. Just peace, fresh air, and local flavor. We welcome guests from all walks of life—backpackers, couples, families, and travelers looking for an affordable, real, and relaxing stay. What makes us unique is our warm and personal touch. Our team is always ready to help you with anything: tour bookings, transportation, motorbike rentals, or just a friendly conversation over breakfast. Our on-site restaurant serves simple local meals, and we provide free drinking water refills to reduce plastic waste. Guests also enjoy the calm atmosphere, easy access to El Nido town, and the view deck where sunsets hit just right. Islandfront is more than a place to sleep—it’s a place to breathe, reflect, and reconnect. Stay with us, and experience the kind of hospitality that comes from the heart.
Hi! I’m Yolinda, your host at Islandfront El Nido. I’m a mother of four, a hands-on businesswoman, and someone who truly loves welcoming people from all walks of life. For over a decade, our family has hosted travelers right here by the beach. Aside from running our guesthouse, I also manage a local pharmacy, a massage and wellness shop, a laundry service, and even a small real estate business — all rooted in El Nido. I love helping people, whether it’s through healing, comfort, or simply good service. Islandfront is more than a stay — it’s a home built on dedication, family, and real island warmth. I live nearby and am always ready to assist with tips, needs, or emergencies. Our place is peaceful, personal, and proudly Filipino. If you're looking for a safe and heartfelt experience in El Nido, we’d love to welcome you as part of the Islandfront family. Salamat po and see you.
Islandfront is located in Brgy. Corong-Corong—one of El Nido’s most charming and accessible areas, known for its beautiful sunsets, peaceful vibe, and authentic local atmosphere. Just a few minutes away is the iconic Vanilla/Maremegmeg Beach, a favorite among travelers for its white sand, calm waters, and laid-back beach bars. It's the perfect spot to swim, lounge, or catch golden hour while sipping a fresh coconut or cocktail. Corong-Corong is also home to El Nido’s public transport terminals, making it easy to get to and from Puerto Princesa or nearby towns. Tricycles and vans are available all day, and we’re happy to help you arrange pickups and drop-offs. A good walk from Islandfront takes you to the local wet market, where you’ll see fresh seafood, vegetables, and local delicacies. It’s a great place to experience the everyday rhythm of island life. The area is dotted with mangrove forests, hidden beach paths, and small sari-sari stores. It’s quieter than the main town proper, making it ideal for guests who want to relax while still being close to convenience. Also nearby: Tour pickup points for island hopping (we can help arrange this) Casual restaurants and eateries offering local and Western food Quiet coastal roads for jogging, biking, or walking during sunrise Stunning cliffside and ocean views just a few minutes away What makes Corong-Corong special is its balance—close enough to the action of El Nido town (only 5–10 minutes away), yet peaceful enough to enjoy a restful stay. You’ll experience the best of both worlds: natural beauty and local life, all from the comfort of a quiet beachside neighborhood.
