Puerto Princesa to El Nido Hotel Transfer Destination Reviews

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. We booked a van for 1 PM and paid 600 PHP each. Because the van wasn’t full, they kept making us wait, saying “another hour” every time we asked. We ended up waiting until 4:30 PM. Then they gave us two options: wait another 2 hours for more passengers or pay an extra 300 PHP each. When we refused, they told us to find another company and refused to give us a refund. Terrible service, poor communication, and completely unprofessional. Avoid this company.

Booked 9am pick up operator delayed till 11:30 then got on the bus to drive around for 2 hours before going back to the station and getting transferred to a smaller bus to then drive around for over 1 hour picking up parcels and passengers. I was last allowed on the bus and got the fold up seat for 5 hour drive with a lady having her child on her lap crying and throwing up. Arrival time in el nido was meant to be 2pm and we didn't leave puerto prinsesa till 1:30. I arrived at el nido at 7:30pm to a closed hotel and had to pay for a new late check in hotel. By far the worst operator and customer service I have ever endured -10 out of 10

E-ticket showed where we needed to go for pick-up. Left on time, during the trip made multiple stops which caused us to be 1 hour late, didn’t bother myself too much as I understand that the coach becomes a local bus after a certain while so keep that in mind. Only real gripe is that the driver was on his phone while we were going up a mountain.

Everything went wrong. They picked us up early (5:15 PM) and took us to their departure point to sign some papers. We were supposed to leave at 6:00 PM, and after some friends paid, they told us we had to wait for another couple arriving at 7:15 PM because their flight had been delayed. Another option was to pay an extra €60 and we could leave right away! In the end, we left 2 hours and 30 minutes late. And the couple who arrived were told we had left (a complete lie) and that we had come back for them, forcing them to pay another €40. And right from the start of the trip, the driver wanted to stop and pick up more people along the way. To top it all off, when we arrived at El Nido, the driver wouldn't take us to our hotel because he said that wasn't El Nido, which was a lie, and that it was only 10 minutes away. We had to pay for a tuk-tuk at 2:00 AM. In summary, we felt scammed arriving at our destination at 2:30 pm instead of 11 pm, and they tried to get money out of us after we had already paid.

We booked the van in the evening and got picked up on time at our hotel, just to get brought to their office to get told we would have to wait 1,5h there for another flight. Somehow they managed to arrange to bring us to another van wich was already on the way. We got squeezed in there, 4 people in one row. Luckily some people got dropped of early so we would get a proper seat in the van. Rest of the drive was fine and we arrived savely but very belated.

Well I made it where I needed to go. Left an hour later than the scheduled departure time. Had to fix a tire and fuel up before we hit the road causing the departure delay. Pickup point was not where the pdf ticket said. It was at a gas station outside the airport area.

The experience was the worst I have ever had with a transportation company. I scheduled a ride for 6pm for 2 people. However since my time slot only had a total of 3 people, the driver proceeded to tell all 3 of us that because our van is not full, they are going to try to solicit more travelers at the airport from the 720pm flight and the 8pm flight so that they can fill the van before leaving on the 5 hour drive. This clearly was unacceptable to myself, my friend and the other traveler. All 3 of us had to verbally argue with the driver for 45 minutes on how their actions were scam like behavior be ause we chose a timeslot to receive service at that appointed time. The fact the van was not full is not the customers fault. They also tried to persuade us to pay extra for a private van if we wanted to leave at the appointed time of 6 pm dispite us already paying online for a 6 pm slot. Overall the company operates in an unethical manner and I highly do not recommend booking this service. ALSO i paid more for a luxury van and we rode in a thinnly padded seat, slightly dirty lower budget van instead of the luxury van I paid for.
