As I was browsing the net and looking for a seat sale I came across a cheap fare going to Puerto Prinsesa and asked my travel buddies if they want to experience PALAWAN,and they all agreed. So, we booked our flight (June 7- 10, 2012) via airphilexpress.com.

We left a gloomy Manila at around 3:55pm. On our way, I was praying to give us a good weather in Puerto Prinsesa. Exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes we landed at Puerto Prinsesa airport. Just a tip,as much as possible book an earlier flight ( i mean an am flight) so you can still go somewhere else.But since we were after promo fare we didnt have any choice..:(

I have a friend who manages a travel agency and we were able to get a good deal for a 4n/3d tour including accomodation, meals ( breakfast and lunch), underground, Honday bay and city tours http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tourspot-Travel/203318219726850. As we arrived at the airport, there was a van already waiting and brought us directly to RAQ Pensionne (
www.raqpensionne.com ).The hotel is at least 10-15 minutes from the airport and just beside Legend Palawan.
We were greeted with a welcome drink together with a souvenir (a rain maker ).Ohh!what a generous way to welcome visitors!We occupied 2 rooms ( quad and triple sharing ) since we are 7 in the group. The room was simple and old but it is clean and spacious with a t.v, aircon,hot water, telephone in case you need something from them. My only complain with our room was the aircon, it is not so cold but there is an electric fan provided (pde na rin!!).The pensionne has no elevator so we had to take the stairs going to the 3rd floor. One more thing the shower is not that strong,so be patient...But the good thing about this place is they have tables and chairs just outside our rooms where we used it for chatting and playing cards.It also provided a water dispenser placed along the hallway and its for FREE!! The place faces the main road so you can see cars and trikes passing.Scroll down so you can tour the whole place.By the way this place has a spa and a small bar at the side.

Right after we unpacked up our things,we asked the receptionist where is Kinabuch Grill and Restaurant. In fairness to me, I already did some research where is the best place to dine in this city and this restaurant is one of the most recommended place. The restaurant is just 5 - 10 minutes away and you can ride a tricycle from our place,the fare is only P10.00 each. The place is spacious and consists of several nipa huts. Upon entering the place there is a wide lcd screen.
There were so many people and we were just lucky enough that we got a seat right away. I like the way they handle their customers and in fact the one who took our orders was so accommodating and joked with us once in a while. The serving of food took about 10 -15 minutes. We tried grilled tuna panga,CROC sisig ( wohhhh!! ) , bulalo and gising gising. At first we were hesitant to order the CROC sisig because we were a little worried of the taste. But, if you will not be told that it is croc meat, you cant tell it because it tasted just like pork sisig.I also love the gising - gising (since it was spicy,i love it)..The bulalo and tuna panga is ok nothing different with its taste.Though a little pricey ( for me ), it was worth it. We spent P250.00 each.

After our dinner, I asked them if we could visit the Baywalk since I
have read from a blog that is best to see this place in the evening. We
rode a tricycle again and had to passed by RAQ in going there. The fare
P10.00 each also. We were a little bit disappointed because there was
nothing much to see except the well -lighted peacock. There were a few
people hanging out with their families and friends. We had a short
distance walk and asked Manong driver to take us back to the hotel. |
