Where to stay

Where to Stay in Poblacion, San Vicente, Palawan

March 28, 2012 by Josiah 15 Comments
  • Recommended Lodgings
  • Other Lodgings in Poblacion
  • Additional Notes

Believe it or not, we stayed in a 55 Pesos/person/night dormitory type lodge inside the Public Market compound of Poblacion of San Vicente, Palawan.

It was a humble dormitory room inside the compound of their public market with only a banig (mat) and a pillow as bedding. For someone like me who’s more comfortable sleeping on a hard bed than the really soft ones this place is a sweet dream come true. It’s the cheapest I have seen in the country.

In front of the Public Market Dormitory

There are no lockers, so you must bring your stuff with you always, especially the important ones.

The bathroom are located outside and you’ll be sharing it with other people inside the market.

There’s also a time limit on how long you should stay outside the Public Market premises as they close the market compound gates at 10PM.

The room for men and women are separated.

Would I recommend travelers to stay in the Public Market Dormitory? Not really. Though it is open for anyone, the reason why this dormitory type of lodging is made is for the residents of San Vicente who got stranded in Poblacion. But if you want to stay there I won’t stop you. 🙂

Where would I recommend travelers to stay?

There are many options you can choose from when you want to stay in Poblacion of San Vicente but here are 3 of my recommended affordable lodgings.


John Eric Inn

What I like about John Eric Inn is that it’s located at the heart of town and only about 150 meters from the public market and the port. They also have 24 hours electricity. But what I really love about John Eric Inn is the price, it’s only 300 Pesos per night per person for 3 pax.

Rates

300 Pesos/room/night Fan Room with private CR
+50 Pesos/pax/night for extra pax exceeding 3 pax.

Contact Number: 0912-253-5224

Notes

  • They have electricity 24 hours.
  • There’s an internet shop nearby. 30 Pesos/hour.
  • There’s also a sari-sari stores nearby which is open from 6AM to 9PM.

Lodgings in Sabang, Puerto Princesa, Palawan

February 24, 2012 by Josiah 20 Comments
  • 3 recommended lodgings
  • Other lodgings
  • Additional Notes

Since there are a lot of things you can do other than the famous Puerto Princesa Underground River in the town of Sabang, I highly recommend spending 2 or 3 days there.

So where should you stay in Sabang? Here’s the top 3 accomodations that I recommend when you stay in Sabang.

1. Tribal Beach Resort & Restaurant

Away from the crowd and has a beach front makes the Tribal Beach Resort the top of my list. Think of swimming when there is daylight, just sitback on the sand at night time and just go in to your room whenever you feel like it.

They also have a restaurant too where we ate good food.

Rates

Price No. of Pax Others
700 Pesos/night+150 for extra pax 2 Fan Room
1,500 Pesos/night+150 for extra pax 4-6 2 Double Bed
Fan Room

Contact Numbers

  • 0946-238-4873 Jubelle Magbanwa
  • 0917-645-8700 Edwin Magbanwa

Additional Notes

  • Their restaurant is open from 7:30AM to 10PM
  • Rates are negotiable especially during off-peak season
  • A friend of mine stayed here by pitching their tent, they just paid the resort a minimal fee.

2. Sunbird Cottages & Blue Bamboo Restaurant

Or famously known in Sabang as Blue Bamboo. Though it only has a sea front and no beach, I highly recommend this place because it’s the cheapest of all the lodgings in Sabang. And since we are cheapo, this is the place where we stayed.

Rates

Price No. of Pax Others
350 Pesos/night 2 May or may not have a private CR.
If it has a CR, it does not have a shower.
500 Pesos/night 2 Private CR with shower.
800 Pesos/night 4 Private CR with shower.
