Ursula Beach Club

El Nido


Just a few cottages here, but they are delightful, and the food is the best in Sibaltan. The pricier rooms are up the hill at the back with views and private balconies. It's a good spot for kiteboarders; owner Dennis kitesurfs and the Palawan Kite Club (www.kiteclubpalawan.com) sets up shop right next door in season (November to March).

Electricity is 6pm to midnight and 9am to 2pm. A dive shop is planned.
