2. The price decreases if you stay several nights.
3. If you book less than 48 hours before your arrival date, the price often drops (not guaranteed, but try your luck).

Our stay
We had the opportunity to spend a very pleasant night here. What we liked best: the cocooning fireplace opposite the bed, the infrared sauna in the bathroom, the discreet location and the optional chef-prepared dishes.
El Nido Malaika (which means Angel's Nest in Filipino) was conceived and created by Erwin and his wife. He is an entrepreneur, she is the director of a dance school. They have a passion for travel, particularly the Seychelles, the Philippines and Martinique.
