Mad Monkey Nacpan Beach

I have been to 14 mad monkeys and they always feel like coming home. When I arrived in El Nido I immediately ran into a friend I had met 3 months ago at Mad Monkey Pai! It was far from El Nido but super easy to get a Tuk Tuk into town, and there was even a pub crawl in El Nido that included transport each way. Being right on the beach was priceless. Alicia was a great trivia host and Sam carried my bag all the way to the parking lot when I checked out! Had a little too much fun there!😂

Had a great time there! Definitely for those who are willing to stay a bit more glamping style - get ready for sand in everything you own and to take lots of cold showers! The view and seclusion is worth it

Me and my friend had the best time at this Mad Monkey hostel! Met so many people that we were hanging out with for our whole 5 days stay. Also Alicia and Mark who works there with the activities really made us feel welcome and included, which made it a lot easier to interact with other backpackers in the beginning. Would recommend if you like to party, but its also totally okay to just chill there as well which we did for a night. Gonna miss this place and the people a lot!

Over all this hostel is amazing it has the chill beach vibes and being away from the main town but also the good party scene being mad monkey the staff here are great Anthony the manager is super nice and professional and Sam the dj is great and Alison is very welcoming and great at being a host and mark is another very nice staff member who always is talking to guests and making sure people are having a good time The place is very clean and the showers as well over all would stay here again!

The hostel is very social, great location on the beach. Alicia is such a great rep and host the most fun activities. Had the best fun here and just kept extending. Will def come back again.

Amazing location and amazing vibes. Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner

First time traveling solo and I was a bit nervous, but Mad monkey felt like home immediately. Hanna,Joanna, Clarris at reception is a total star—she remembered my name every time I walked past and gave me the best tips on which neighborhoods to avoid at night. The place is spotless and the security is top-notch. Thanks Sarah for making my first trip so easy!

Just perfect. Dorms are nice and clean, the structure is beautiful, it's right on the beach where you can see beautiful sunset. The staff was amazing, there was a blackout one night, and they were still making food and drinks for everyone. A bit on the expensive side, but also make sense given the location

Was super nice but no ac was a real struggle

we had the best fun here! during day u have beutiful beach almost al by your self with sun beds and shading. the beds are wide and comfy. always good vibes at the bar. lots of chill areas and social hangouts. the mad monkey crew are so helpfull and welcoming. And give the best friendly feeling all stay. Alicia did amazing party games during the evening and really made pepole start talking to each other and have the best funniest time! this is a hostel u can just be att and be fully comfortable.

I liked this hostel. When I booked I didn’t realise that it is not in the centre of el nido and can be quite expensive going back and forth but if you have enough time I’d recommend doing 2 days in Nacpan beach and 2 days in the centre! The staff were all so lovely, the food was good. Rooms and toilets super clean, really liked it :)

Big up DJ Sam, Alisha for always making sure I’m hydrated, and Anthony for being an all round legend. Miss you guys thank you for an amazing stay ❤️

the hostels in a beautiful location with a perfect beach. Sam and Alesha were great hosts who were always on hand. The facilities are clean and the rooms are more unique than typical hostel rooms. overall a great stay at mad monkey would recommend to anyone visiting northern El Nido who wants a great stay next to an amazing beach

Do NOT stay here! Next to a cockerel farm so extremely noisy from 4am onwards. They mentioned something to do with the generator but failed to mention that it turns off 3pm - 6pm and 11pm onwards. no WiFi, no lights, no fans (all night it was constantly boiling) and nothing to do as no phone signal. Also they didn’t have any vegetarian options at the time bar salad. Lovely location but it’s a 15 minute walk on the beach in the sun with no help for your luggage etc. don’t recommend staying

"Felt like home!" This was easily one of the best hostel experiences I've had, largely thanks to the staff. Hannah, Joanna at the front desk was a absolute star—she was so friendly and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality. Thank you, Hannah!

Great location, quiet large beach that we had ti ourselves it felt like, was annoying no power half the time, but the staff and vibes were on point and had one of the best times with other people staying. No air con but that’s known

the best spot to go at napcan beach if you want to have fun and relax. It's the mkst beautifull hostel location i have even been to, the staff and volunteers were amazing as well. However there's a few things you need to realise before booking: there is no aircon but you do have a "private fan". When i was visiting, there was energy problems so there was no wifi or electricity for half of the day. For me this forced me to relax on the beautifull beach so i didn't mind, but don't expect luxery.

Very disappointing experience. No electric or water for several hours during day & night. Even when electric was on, WiFi didn’t work & no cell service. While a few staff members were kind, the rest were cold & unwelcoming. One rep acted inappropriately with male guests, another threatened my friend & swore in her face - way too involved & unprofessional. A male guest repeatedly harassed and threatened us while security did nothing. Beautiful location, but would definitely not recommend.

Lejos de todo. Sin internet la mayor parte del tiempo. Servicio de personal no soluciona ningún problema. La mitad del menu no lo tenian. Solo promueven beber alcohol. Entre las 15:00 y 18:00 no hay luz en el hostel ni corriente. Seguramente se me olviden cosas. Lo unico bueno es la playa pero von ir un dia de visita en moto desde em centro es la mejor opcion.

Nightmare in nacpan. Not water not electricity not WiFi. When I arrived the receptionist told me it is going to be ok in the afternoon, but it didn’t happen otherwise I’ll not stay here. At night the staff didn’t plan anything for the guests. There was nothing for enjoyment of the people staying at the hostel but the staff decided to started their own party at 23.00. Drinking, laughing and making the all possible noise, when the guests were to sleep because of the borinf situation. How is...
