As our plane descended towards the northern tip of Palawan, the first thing that I noticed were the enchanting islands with white sand beaches, and once we landed, the limestone cliffs that took my breath away. El Nido Palawan, is an escape to paradise, with its name “El Nido” derived from Spanish, meaning “the nest.”.
This place is famous for its serene islands filled with majestic limestone cliffs, topped off with forest green fringes, all surrounded by blue-green, crystalline waters filled with marine life. With the plane landing at Lio Airport, the sea breeze, limestone cliffs, and the anticipation of a great discovery of the weekend filled the air. First-timer or not, El Nido, Palawan never bores.
There is always something waiting to be discovered on its shores, with new hotspots ready to pamper you with a unique and unforgettable getaway, rain or shine. A short drive from Lio, El Nido Airport is Lime Resort and Hotel where we checked in. Opened only last January 2022, this beachfront hotel in Sitio Lugadia is just a stone’s throw away from popular spots like Corong-Corong Beach, Marimegmeg Beach, Vanilla Beach, and Lapus-Lapus Beach.
Their Sky Lounge with infinity pool, as well as their Sky Deck, is the perfect place to have cocktails and watch the stunning Palawan sunset overlooking Bacuit Bay. The room I got to check in was a Premiere Suite that had the same majestic view, as well as a luxurious bathtub, spacious room with a sitting area, work desk, and balc.
