Charlie's El Nido Travel Journal — Plan, Stay, Explore

transport routes, seasonal advice, and what is new at the property. Charlie's El Nido is a boutique

resort-hotel in Villa Libertad, five minutes from El Nido Airport, and every guide here is written from that

vantage point. The same answers the front desk gives guests in person, written down.
