Outpost Beach Hostel, hotel in El Nido

Set in El Nido, in the southern sector of Corong-Corong Beach, Outpost Beach Hostel features a sun terrace and views of the sea and the most beautiful sunsets.

Great hostel! Right on the beach! The staff were lovely and very accommodating. There are events each night at the hostel which were so fun and a great way to meet people! The drink prices at the bar were very reasonable. We stayed in a double room with a private bathroom which was lovely and clean. The hostel is located in between el nido town and vanilla beach, both about a 10 minute taxi away, which was 100 pesos each way.

The staff at this hostel and bar make it well worth the stay. Robbie is absolutely wonderful—she was incredibly accommodating and helped me with everything I needed, especially when my flight was cancelled due to a typhoon. She organised everything for me with no fuss. Robbie is just one part of the picture. The rest of the team around the hostel and bar are fantastic—so generous and helpful that they even gave me a personalised t-shirt as a memento of my stay. I highly recommend staying here, you'll truly feel like part of the family.

    The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

    The hotel is in a great location, nearby lots of restaurants and cafes. There is a hostel next door which is a great place to book trips and meet new people. The rooftop bar and restaurant has a stunning view of the islands and the food is fantastic. The bed was very comfy. Wifi connection was very good and had no issues with the AC. Vanilla beach is just a short tuk tuk ride away.

    One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

    Beachfront location. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Provided lots of information for the island hopping tours (which I also highly recommend) Nice and budget friendly place. Location is basically on the beach and next door to great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend Aqua Travel Lodge for a cheap stay, close to everything you would want during a trip to El Nido!
