Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan Thread 17

[~tiArA~]

^medyo mahal hehe usually kasi ang package for 3days and 2nights php4300/pax pero siyempre depende sa accommodation, yung edgardo's kasi mukhang mamahalin hehe

[meimei]

@kitten, thanks for the reply, sis. so final na ko sa Baker's Hill, Mitra's Ranch at Ihawig Firefly-watching. yung sa Crocodile Farm, di pa ko sold. hehe. worth it ba talaga yun? i mean, ano yung maganda dun? pakainin yung crocs?

kaya ba i-tricycle ang Crocodile Farm from Mitra's Ranch. kasi DIY lang kami sa city tour kasi onting location lang. we will just ride a trike to Baker's Hill. then from Baker's Hill, i read that we can ride a trike to Mitra's Ranch. pero paano ang paalis ng Mitra's Ranch? may tricycle terminal ba? o do we have to ask the trike to wait for us?

[sexy_07]

meimei - may mga tricycle na nagooffer na balikan, kasi bibihira yata ang tricycle talagang dadayuhin mo and wala din akong napansin

[electricpink17]

ako naman nagenjoy ako sa crocodile farm. first time ko rin naman kaseng mapunta sa isang crocodile farm and na amaze ako sa mga malalaking crocs. pero ang pinakanagustuhan ko ay picture taking while hawak hawak ang maliit na croc. try mo din kumain ng crocodile sisig dun. masarap siya.

@mei-mei

mag rent ka na lang po ng tryk for the whole City Tour which is 600 lang and can accommodate up to 4 pax. so lalabas na 150 lang per head. ganyan kasi ginawa namin last month

if you want i pm ko sayo yung number ni manong na nirentahan ko. he's a very nice person.. binigyan ko pa sya ng tip sa sobrang bait nya.. hehe!

[kitten^]

@meimei actually first time ko lang nakakakita ng crocodile kaya nasayahan ako 
Try mo yung sisig dun, masarap daw. Di namin na try kasi kulang na kami sa oras

sis tiara! kamusta weather dyan? sabi sa forecast e medyo maulan

[~tiArA~]

^sis maganda ang weather ngayon dito, maganda ang sikat ng araw, medyo mahangin din kaya hindi masakit sa balat ang init

[ceejhei]

hello mga sis, matagal pa naman ang punta namin ni husband dito next year pa. nakapag book ako via cebupac ng trip for puerto princessa since gusto ni hubby dito at gusto ko din. anniversary kasi namin sa july 2013 5th wedding anniv na. tapos na kami sa bohol 2 years ago. tapos last year nag tagaytay lang kami.

anyway, since matagal pa naman sana makahanap ako ng mga okay na accommodation. sa ngayon para hassle free ang trip, i am looking forward in booking sis tiara's packages. kausapin ko muna si husband. too early ba to book the underground river?

[meimei]

^if you're getting a travel agency/tour coordinator (i.e., sis tiara), i suppose they'll book the underground river for you.

alam mo sis, yung accommodation kasi is depende sa budget ninyo. if malaki budget ninyo, then you can stay at Dos Palmas and at Sheridan (for the time you're in Sabang area for the Underground River tour - i advise you stay 1-2 nights at Sabang).

if medyo nasa middle ang budget ninyo, then you can stay at any of the following at the city: Hotel Centro, Hotel Fleuris, Legend Palawan, or Empire Suites - then you can stay at Daluyon (for Sabang).

[augots]

^^^ thanks, sis tiara! sana tuloy tuloy ang magandang panahon! see you tom! woohooo!!! 

[tomatostellar]

my friends are in PPP ngayon =( dapat kasama ko, but na-ospital mom ko, so ayun, keri lang naka punta na naman ako last April, pero sa Dos Palmas sila punta, e d ako nakapunta dun last time,.
oh well

[Kady_14]

Lurking this thread. My MIL really  wants to go to PPS so i  booked us tickets for next year travel.  Scouting for accomods and tour na  ako. Dami ko ibback read. 

[ceejhei]

^sis kady kelan ang trip mo? ako sa july pa. back reading din ang drama ko. hahaha

sis meimei thank you sa tips btw, ang sabang ba eh yan yung beach part? like if sa bohol ito ba yung parang alona and panglao part?

[joeiandme]

Was supposed to stay in Puerto Princesa but decided na lang to stay in Dos Palmas.
May mga kasabay kami going to Underground River. Make sure you get your permits especially if peak season, at least a month before daw ang reservation.

[meimei]

^^yes, Sabang is the beach part. BUT not as nice as panglao or alona ha. it's just a better option to spend overnight para chillax naman ang trip. also maganda ang feedback sa resort. read reviews at tripadvisor. pero if you have the money, then sa Sheridan na lang kayo sa Sabang. here's Daluyon reviews at tripadvisor

kasi yung underground river ay approx 2 hrs papunta and 2 hrs pabalik. so if your hotel is at the city, sa underground river tour niyo ay 4hrs ang travel time niyo in one day, which is too strenuous. though maraming gumagawa nito. but for some tourists like me, we prefer na overnight na lang sa Daluyon para di naman masyadong haggard. syempre depende kung ilang days/nights ang trip niyo. kami kasi, when we plan trips, may chillax moments.

to give you an idea, here's our itinerary:

DAY 1 - Arrival and Beach Bumming Day

Flight, Mla-PP
Lexus shuttle service from PP to Sabang
Check-in at Daluyon
Beach

DAY 2 - Underground River and Beach Bumming Day

DAY 3 - Honda Bay and City Tour Day

Check-in at Empire Suites Palawan

Baker's Hill only (not interested in other city attractions)
Ihawig Firefly-watching tour (w/ dinner)

DAY 4 - Dos Palmas Day

Check-out from Empire Suites Palawan
Go to St. Lourdes Wharf and ride boat to Dos Palmas
Check-in at Dos Palmas

DAY 5 - Departure Day

Check-out from Dos Palmas

^How much ang rate ng Daluyon? wala kasi sa website nila. Ka-rate ba siya ng mga usual pension house sa city? Parang mas maganda nga na 1 night sa Sabang at 1 night sa City para hindi masyado haggard sa byahe during UG tour. .

[meimei]

^sis, they have their room rates in their website (please see link below). mas mahal sila sa pension houses kasi beachfront resort sila. hindi sila pension house lang...

http://www.daluyonresort.com/ - mouse over the tab "Accommodations" and click "Rates"

[majika7777]

^Nyay onga merong published rates, thanks meimei! Mukhang maganda nga sa mga reviews pero medyo expensive! hehe pang Tres Prension ang budget namin. . hmmm mag-cocompare muna at mag-uusap usap

^sis kady kelan ang trip mo? ako sa july pa. back reading din ang drama ko. hahaha



Sa October pa naman sis, sa Sembreak ng kids. Pinapasyal ko kasi sila kapag school break. Gusto ko lang kahit papano na magka-idea na para wala na ko intindihin, kasi i'm also minding other lakad like for Christmas, Summer, Bdays and lastly eto, sembreak. Kasama ko ang in-laws ko for this trip so medyo mas mahirap humanap ng accomod and tours. Kung kami lang kasi kahit ano pwede as long as may aircon at malinis na toilet keri na.

Gusto ko affodable lang kasi we'll be out naman for tours the whole day. Mahirap pala i-DIY ang trip na 'to dahil madaming permits pa.

Children aged 8 & 9 years old ba same rate na ng adults? Sana 50% lang or less.
