We went to Puerto Princesa last July 2 to 5, 2011. I should have posted this blog last month but I was so busy that I don’t have a time to do it. But anyway, since I have the diligence to do it now, I will tell you our experiences in Puerto Princesa.
We stayed in One Rover’s Place, 5 minutes away from PPS airport. I may say that the accommodation is good but not perfect. Reminder guys: Puerto Princesa is “Mosquito friendly place” so its everywhere, don’t forget to bring your mosquito repellant. The rooms were very clean, the staff were accommodating but the water taste like rust. I also don’t like the buko pandan that they offer us as welcome drinks. I really hate the taste. I just took a sip but it sucks.
We hired an agent so everything went well. On our first day, City Tour, we went to crocodile farms, to their churches, to some parks, bakers hill, mitra’s ranch (hope i can still remember them very well lol!) and ended in buying “pasalubong” things.
On our day 2, we went to Underground River, the water was brownish because its raining, but we enjoyed the tour, it took around 45 minutes. Inside the cave, if there’s no flash light, you really can’t see anything. Rock formations were amazing. It’s really the nature that shapes them. After that we had our lunch “eat all you can” in an island nearby.
On our third day, we went to Honda Bay for an island hopping. Pandan Island and Snake Island for snorkeling. And we did enjoy our lunch. Who would say no to “seafoods”. I so love it.
Our tour package did not include dinner meals so we have to find a place to dine. On our first night, we ended up eating in Chowking because the Kinabuch Resto that we first chose were already crowded. But the following night we ate in Kinabuch Resto and it’s really good and budget friendly. The last night that we were there, we dine in Ka Lui’s Resto. You have to make a reservation in Ka Lui’s. The ambiance is very unique. You have to take off your slippers before going inside, it’s kinda native and you will feel that you are very close to nature. We’ll I may say they really surprise me when it comes to food. Foods that I have only tasted there (except for the rice) haha.
Our puerto princesa tour was indeed a wonderful experience. Nice place to visit. two thumbs up!!!
