Palawan Island’s Best Beach Resort

1 Comment

On a yearly basis, thousands of tourists go to Palawan Island purely for its pristine beaches. They are some of the best in the world, after all. However, only a few people actually get the luxury of making the most of their time on the sand.

With only a few days set aside for a vacation, a sane person would want to squeeze as many activities and sights-to-see as they can within a matter of hours. A smart vacationer would opt to choose an accommodation where they can have the best of both worlds.

When in Palawan, stay away from busy downtown Puerto Princesa City. These days, its roads are almost as jampacked as every other city in the Philippines. It will take you a while to get to one place from another, and there is not even a beach in sight. Book a room at a resort by the beach instead. Here is a list of the island’s best:

1. BINGA BEACH RESORT (San Vicente Town)

The absolute best beach resort on the island of Palawan is a place only a few people have heard about. It is not yet fully operational as of this moment. And yet, there is already so much to rave about.

Like the Secret Paradise Resort & Turtle Sanctuary, Binga Beach Resort is also a San Vicente Town accommodation that boasts a private beach of its own. What Binga Beach Resort offers, however, is a different kind of beach-living experience.

At Binga Beach Resort, you are one with nature. There are no cold and lifeless hotel rooms here. Just personalized glamping units that welcome in the sea’s breeze.

Baguio City Public Market | The Best Place To Buy Pasalubong

Our visit to Baguio City will not be complete without a trip to the Baguio City Public Market. Located right in the heart of Baguio City near Burnham Park we can always stroll by whenever we are near. Usually, it does not happen that way. The best time to go here is when we are about to go home because of pasalubongs!

Baguio City Public Market

The public market is quite big, there the wet section where you can find meats, vegetable sections where you can find vegetables (duh!), pasalubong section, rice, coffee, and many more.

Chocolate de Batirol in Camp John Hay, Baguio City

Everytime that I visit Baguio, I always make it a point to drop by Chocolate de Batirol in Camp John Hay. Sometimes I even visit here more than once in a single visit to Baguio. I’m just a fan of their hot chocolate and their suman.

Book discounted Baguio accommodations here.

The Walk to Chocolate de Batirol

On our visit last February 2017, after our stroll around the Historical Core in Camp John Hay which includes the Bell Amphitheater, Bell House & Cemetery of Negativism, we decided to head to Chocolate de Batirol. It was only 1.4kms so we decided to just walk.

3:27 PM Started walking from Historical Core to Chocolate de Batirol.

We did not really follow the path Google Maps gave us since there was a walkway going down from the Historical Core to the main road of Camp John hay. One of my favorite parts of Camp John Hay since we passed by tall Pine Trees.

We then passed by the entrance of The Manor.
