Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan Thread 17

[sweetczarina]

hello again.. any feedback po sa RVM transient or sa Prima Residences?

[Zap1113]

I'm heading to Puerto Princesa by myself tomorrow. I arrive early evening. I was supposed to go with my sister but she has her exams so she couldn't go with me. I haven't booked a hotel yet--I'm thinking whether I should stay at Palo Alto (outskirts) or Microtel (beachfront) or Hotel Centro (city). Any recommendations for a lone traveler?

[~tiArA~]

hello mga sisses *wave* :-) sa mga nagtatanong kung kamusta na ang weather dito sa Puerto Princesa, bahagyang maulan, pero hindi naman nagtatagal, still safe pa din na magtour :-)

simula na ang baragatan ^_^ sa mga magpupunta dito sa Palawan, pasyal sana kayo sa capitol

[sexy_07]

^ano ang baragatan? sorry no idea

[zylph]

Mga sis!!! Next week na ang punta namin ni boyfie sa Palawan to celebrate our 8th anniversary. Kaso bukas pa kami mag-papabook ng UGR. Sana meron pang slots. Meron pa naman daw sabi sa official website ng palawan. Excited na kami since ito yung first trip namin sa malayong lugar. Sa Ysabelle Mansion pala kami din nagpabook for our accommodation.  DIY yung trip namin except UGR.

how far is badjao seafront sa ysabelle Mansion. On our last day kasi we plan to have lunch there since maganda raw view dun and our flight back to manila is 2PM. Possible po ba? Also, ano mode of transpo how to get there.

I just got back from my solo trip to Puerto Princesa. One thing: don't miss out on Ka Lui! Make reservations at least a day before you intend to dine at the restaurant.

Planning to DIY ng honda bay island hopping

[matetreyes]

[Pinky38]

mga sissess i have a lots of questions to ask:

1. is it ok to book for UR now, our trip would be on Dec 17 (5days) or 1st week of Jan(5days)
2. does the Registration and entrance fee are separate or the same lang sila
3. how long ang trip sa UR, i mean sa mismong loob
4. does every tour needs registration, like if we're going to honda bay island hopping, does it means mag re-register ulit, sabang atv's, zipline and so on...
5. can we hire our own tour guide instead of getting one from the hotel, ano ang advantage at disadvantage getting your own tour guide
6.easy lang ba mag rent ng mga vans or may waiting time din
7. may bank ba don, do you have to pay cash or visa card sa mga tours and resto
8.sa naka experienced ng zipline w/senior or kids na hindi pwede mag zipline,may waiting area ba para sa kanila
8.if ever na puro cash ang mode of payment doon, as a tourist paano ko masasabi na safe ang dala kong cash at magkano dapapt ang budget for 4 (1 senior, 10 yrs old at 2 ladies)

sana may mag reply and thank's in advance!

Rax

[racyo95]

musta na po weather now sa palawan? sana ok naman pagpunta namin by June 18...

mga sis ask ko lang kung ano operating hours and days sa crocodile farm may nabasa kasi ako na during weekdays sa hapon lang daw sila open, how true is it? tia!

Ok naman weather when we were there nito lang Mon to Thur, so hapon lang medyo may pag ulan pero tumitigil rin naman. Ang swerte nga ng mmga lakad namin kasi everytime matatapos ang mga lakad namin eh saka lang umuulan.

[racyo95]

will try to answer this ayon sa pagkakarecall ko during our recent trip...medyo hilong talilong ako sa trip namin kasi 3 senior citizens ang kasama ko

1. is it ok to book for UR now, our trip would be on Dec 17 (5days) or 1st week of Jan(5days) - THE EARLIER THE BETTER. PEAK SEASON PA NAMAN ITONG MGA DATES MO. KUNG SURE KA NA SA TRIP DATES MO PA-BOOK KA NA AGAD.

2. does the Registration and entrance fee are separate or the same lang sila - ITO NA RIN ATA YUNG PERMIT NA DAPAT MO BAYARAN PAG NAG BOOK SA UGR. THEN WHEN YOU GET TO SABANG KUNG SAAN KAYO SASAKAY NG BOAT...DUN MO NA PAY YUNG BOAT RENTAL, ENVIRONMENTAL FEE ETC.

3. how long ang trip sa UR, i mean sa mismong loob - I LOST TIME ON THIS ONE BUT APPROXIMATELY I THINK WALA PANG 30 MINUTES YON. TOTAL TIME FROM SABANG UNTIL MAKABALIK KAYO FOR LUNCH SIGURO ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. KASAMA NA PASYAL NAKAUNTI AT PICTURE TAKING

4. does every tour needs registration, like if we're going to honda bay island hopping, does it means mag re-register ulit, sabang atv's, zipline and so on... - WE DIDN'T TRY THE ZIPLINE, ATV KAYA NO IDEA BUT YUNG HONDA BAY AT UGR MERON REGISTRATION.

5. can we hire our own tour guide instead of getting one from the hotel, ano ang advantage at disadvantage getting your own tour guide - OK NAMAN KUNG MAY SARILI KAYONG TOUR GUIDE TIPONG DIY GAGAWIN NYO. FOR SURE TAGA PP NAMAN GUIDE NYO AT ALAM NA NYA KUNG ANO DAPAT GAWIN PARA I ASSIST KAYO. MAS TIPID KASI PAG DIY KUNG AT LEAST 5 PERSONS KAYO.

6.easy lang ba mag rent ng mga vans or may waiting time din - MERON NAMAN MGA NA SUGGEST DITO SA THREAD NA MGA NAGPAPA HIRA NG VANS. I HIRED MANG DUDZ SERVICE.

7. may bank ba don, do you have to pay cash or visa card sa mga tours and resto - MERON NAMANG BANKS BUT PURO CASH DALA KO, NAG SIGURO LANG AT BAKA MAYA MAY PALPAK PA SA ATM

8.sa naka experienced ng zipline w/senior or kids na hindi pwede mag zipline,may waiting area ba para sa kanila - WE DIDN'T TRY THIS. SABI NG GUIDE NAMIN DI PA RAW GANUN KA POPULAR ANG ZIP SA PP.

8.if ever na puro cash ang mode of payment doon, as a tourist paano ko masasabi na safe ang dala kong cash at magkano dapapt ang budget for 4 (1 senior, 10 yrs old at 2 ladies) - SAFE NAMAN JUST MAKE SURE NA ALERT KA DIN SA WALLET MO KUNG BASIC TRIP AT VISITS SA TOURIST SPOTS SIGURO AROUND 5K/HEAD KASAMA NA LAHAT DYAN.

BASED LANG PO YAN SA TRIP KO WITH FAMILY NITO LANG JUNE 4-7. WE'RE 6 NA NAGPUNTA NG PP (3 DYAN SENIORS!). MASAYA NAMAN MAHIRAP LANG SA AMIN KASI 3 SENIORS DALA KO BUT THE THOUGHT OF GIVING THEM THE EXPERIENCE AT THEIR AGES OF 72, 73 AND 74 AT MGA 1ST TIMERS YAN!....DOESN'T FAIL TO GIVE ME HAPPINESS

ENJOY THE TRIP SIS!

^^sis racyo95 thank you so much! at least I'm not worried taking my dad, as like what you have said, the happiness taking them  is effortless and priceless...yes! I'm just gathering some infos before i make the reservation, esp the place to stay in sabang or should we stay in PPS instead and rent the van to go to Sabang for UR,fire flying,zipline,mangrove do you think it's a better idea? i was checking cebupac website, but as of now they haven't got  yet for dec and early 2013.

[jedhai]

sis pinky, sa palawan village kami nagstay ni hubby.. yung classic room nila na 1150 with aircon tinawaran q, sabi q kahit fan lang binigay sakin ng 650 hehe malamig sa palawan kahit gabi hindi na kailangang mag aircon hindi kagaya dito sa manila, kaya lang wala sila hot water.. and malapit  cla sa airport..

[sexy_07]

jedhai san kayo nagstay? safe naman ba gamit niyo nung naghonda bay kayo?

[jedhai]

sis sexy, sa palawan village hotel kami nagstay. safe ang mga gamit sa sa honda namin.. bale 2 kasi yung boatman yung isa yun yung mag-guide sa inyo sa mga island sa pambato reef example, tapos yung isa magbabantay ng bangka iniwan namin yung mga gamit dun.. if ever namang may mawala sagutin nila yun diba? so babantayan talaga nila.. 

[billy]

7. may bank ba don, do you have to pay cash or visa card sa mga tours and resto - yup, there are many banks/ATMs

8.sa naka experienced ng zipline w/senior or kids na hindi pwede mag zipline,may waiting area ba para sa kanila - yes, may waiting area but kami, we preferred staying in the van, tapos nung time na dapat maghintay na kami sa other side, dinala na kami ng van dun

[aheart]
