Balay Inato Pension, Palawan, Philippines

My friend Susan Carrasco and I spent two weeks on Palawan Island in the Philippines in April ’08. We stayed in the lovely, new Balay Inato Pension (294 Manalo St., Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines 5300; phone 048 433 8595, mobile 0926 617 2007 or e-mail balayinato_pension [at] yahoo [dot] com [dot] ph), which is in a safe location not far from the airport. Free airport transfers are offered and there’s parking on site.

I recommend this pension highly. Rooms each have air-conditioning, cable TV and a bath with hot-water shower. There are only 14 rooms, so reservations are a necessity.

There is a restaurant on the premises, and after a long day of sightseeing it is possible to order room service.

Rates were reasonable at PHP1,200 (near $25) per night for two persons, including breakfast.
