El Nido Palawan | Best of the Philippines

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh hello there welcome to happiness Villa this is their latest Villa The Villa X it just opened yesterday actually actually it did we're the first guests pretty excited to be here so we are working with happiness ELO and highlighting this beautiful destination in the Philippines in this video we're going to get into what type of food can you expect to get here island hopping activities stuff like that places to go a lot of fun stuff so partying really excited to show you this welcome to the video [Music] guys when we rent a car we always like to name it something what's the name of this car banana welcome to Banana it's perfect it's banana banana trees surrounding [Music] banana [Music] when you are in the Philippines you'll see these type of tricycles it's very iconic for the country so in India you have the tricycles the more um what's it called in India the tuktuk in India you have the Tuk TS in the Philippines you have the tricycles here in Palawan it's super special because they're all a little bit more different than the one you find in M wall you see that they have the car window in the front it's a three-seater and you see that they're kind of like built this shell around the motorcycle and this is uh it's a hard work they drive all night and then sleep when they [Music] can we are at the main street here going out of elido town towards coronon Beach and this is an area where you can buy a lot of souvenirs bring home or for personal use M you think it's cheaper here than in the Stalls down what yeah they they said it's more affordable here the rent is cheaper here so prices are a little bit lower so let's see if we can find something unique or nice for our house or like some pieces that we can wear [Music] yeah all right so when you're shopping at these local markets I have two tips for you one would be to walk up and down the strip once just to gauge if someone selling the same things for example now I found this very very beautiful I was like native design that says El needo and I'm thinking this is perfect for our home it's also important to understand that bargaining is part of the culture so they will say one price but it's kind of like given that you should go down a little bit so never settle for the first price talk about a little bit how much you like it and then end it by saying what's your last price usually the last price is 30% cheaper and that's kind of where it's at at the last price 250 [Music] 250 guys here in the Philippines they got the real fake man that's so funny I don't support that but it's just so funny to see oh this is actually pretty nice what the heck this is the ELO Vibe right here is it fire hey so we got this the best tip I can give you if you have a Filipino friend have him buy it for you half the [Music] price a foreigner lady ask how much this is the the vendor said it's 180 but when it comes to me it's 120 see I told you guys I told you guys and then you know I mean it's nice but I don't actually like need it need it you know it's not like oh I want this so I asked can I just have it for 100 and the lady was like okay so the trick is when you go to these storees usually they add 100 PES more or 200 so um that's what you should do ask uh cut down for the ask for their asking price cut down 100 or 200 pesos oh really yeah 30 to 50% sh well it depends how big it is of course if you buy if you want to buy something for a 100 you know you ask maybe can be 50 pesos or 7 so it's how you barain very happy with [Music] this hey everyone you ready for today yeah let's turn off the light today's Resort day we're going to chill here and happy this Resort it's going to be great we never get to do [Music] this [Music] just came out of the sauna and we're going to do a 3 minute ice bath session got the wife here to support M you know how much I get from this this is like the ultimate power so I'll share with you a little tip if you're looking to increase your performance in other areas of your life consider doing ice bath because the mental uh stress you have to go through and defeat within yourself if you can defeat that for 3 minutes there there's nothing in business relationship or life wow that will hold you back I swear to God okay 3 minutes go see it's 2° they have a proper Sun here all right start wow [Applause] [Applause] [Music] what two more minutes last 40 seconds okay 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and 3 minutes wow crazy it's so about pressure so like everything is trying to like beat you but you just have to stay in there that's why I like it I don't like it it's mental it's so beautiful it's like I feel amazing right now my whole body is tingling but the power is really when you have the ability to go from ice bath to SAA but I'm the one who's afraid you don't have to be afraid it's a mental thing you know when the baby comes out I'm not going to get any sleep so I need to prepare myself mentally for the stress okay so now I'm ready to become a dad because of [Music] that oh my wife is here in the pool hello I've been chilling here how is it well it's really nice because um I don't get to feel how heavy I am when I'm here at the pool yeah and it's also a warm day today yeah so this pool really pulls me down yeah but one thing that I learned that I I sink now it's harder to for me to swim so when I'm swimming it's like it's like as if there's so weight yeah I thought it was going to be the opposite the baby was going to make you float yeah no it's harder to float as well so just uh yeah relaxing by the shade cuz I also get hot easily yeah so warm so this is perfect it's also very nice because here they built something that I've always talked about like having like almost like a beach but in the pool yeah so it goes like a little bit off like this and I love it because you can lay in the water but still feel like you're on the beach without the sand I thought actually it's going to be slippery yeah but it's not so it's like made out of like a little rough cement white cement yeah oh nice I think I've been here for 3 hours now yeah you have on and off this might be nice for if you have small children to like hang out up here of course you need to supervise them all the time because it's a little bit deeper over there but overall such a nice Vine like beautiful the way they built the hotel around the tree yeah and then here you have the spa and the wellness the ice path and the sauna it's complete it's complete I also noticed that mostly families and couples that are checked in here and I also noticed there were some sweds here yesterday no Norwegian yet but it makes me very happy to see Scandinavian people also discovering the Philippines more guys we are very excited to highlight this new Villa that happiness is offering called Villa X you guys are G to love it let's go [Music] inside price pool going on over here even the carpet feels like you're in a Persian like open air bedroom have a lounging area down here large kitchen this place can fit up to I think six people cuz you have two bedrooms and you can also do two mattresses so can get together or a group of friends and rent it or bring your whole family downstairs bathroom let's check it out no other than just hard concrete straight on open shower but my favorite is the bedrooms so calm here so that's what I like about what they've done here in happiness El needo is that theyve placed the private Villas away from the resort if you like to be like a little bit more private and you like to have it calm around you this is the spot you're thinking like me oh my God it's going to be horrible to carry that luggage upstairs but they do have staff that do help you with that because it's an exercise in itself welcome to the first bedroom on the second floor here you can also ask to have like a second bed come in just like this so nice right just come up here lay down wake up a little bit elevated almost so you can see the ocean of your from here from the third bedroom upstairs you can or for the second bedroom upstairs you can private balcony for the couple or friends staying in here also here over over here you have your own bathroom which is really nice to have separated that and I'm the type of guy that like to sit and shower I don't know about you but it's so nice to just sit and relax when you're showering and wash yourself I really appreciate that let me show you the upstairs going up to the third floor here you can request to have in room dining so you can have your breakfast in the morning also has a very nice Ocean View where you see the mountains of elnido in the back there beautiful little kitchen sink going on over there and the second bedroom on the third floor come inside smells delicious here it's one of those things that you can't tell on video but so fresh and you have the ability to use the ceiling fan up there or you have the split type air condition large flat screen TV if you just want to not do anything for a day and just watch Netflix and then In Here Also private bathroom with shower toilet everything you need I mean come on if this doesn't make you want to book a trip the Philippines I don't know what will doesn't get better than [Music] [Music] this Sunset session in Elo they're just so so many different spots along the entire Coastline where you can explore and see the sunset for yourself today we found a really good one I mean infinity pool good drinks can't [Music] complain night time weekend here in Elo downtown okay now let's find a place where we can eat there's so many options actually it's a lot of [Music] restaurants check it out I know right we going to try the food try oh craft beer too oh I'm

at the third step of the day another Lagoon where you can rent a canoe and paddle in the guys are selling ice cream here tundi cold drinks soft drinks whatever you need I wanted to highlight there's different Ts that you can do when you're coming here to the Philippines especially here in Elo they have something like this which is called a dream tour that happiness offers with a DJ and more like a party crowd then you have something like we're on today which is a shared tour but without the DJs is very lowkey you can also do private so you rent the boat like this just the two of you or a couple of friends you can go out also on a speed bolt so there's different options depending on your budget and I just wanted to highlight [Music] that [Music] oh the water is so cold yeah yeah it's like taking an ice bath almost so we have arriv ride at our fourth destination check this beautiful place out yeah this is a lot more cleaner Beach than the one we went to earlier there's also a Cove here in the back you can explore and the water looks pretty clear so it might be able to snorkel cuz another thing that we're here during Aman season meaning it's super windy so the seaweed that you can see is from is washed to the shore right you know that's why there's a lot of seaweeds there but hopefully someone can clean this up yeah cuz it's so beautiful you know and check this out in the back here so I'll zoom in to where it kind of this is what what it looks like when I'm looking at it in real life kind of like this so pretty like the mountains are just sticking up from the ocean all
