Badjao Seafront Restaurant: A pleasant & unpleasant experience

Okay, dining at Badjao Seafront Restaurant was not originally part of our itinerary for our first Palawan tour. It’s famous, but not as Ka Lui and Kinabuchs. So since we only got 3Days/2Nights to spent, we had chosen to dine on the top two restaurants; as lunch is free for the Honda Bay and Underground River Tour. And sadly, our contact person for our Puerto Princesa tours, whom we requested to make the reservation for us, forgot to make the reservation at Ka Lui, so we ended up going to Badjao Seafront Restaurant as recommended by Joy, the very accommodating staff, at Tres Pension House. Location & Setting The restaurant is quite far from where we stayed, roughly around 20mins of tricycle ride, and it’s not along the main road. Thanks...

The Underground River Tour Experience

This is it; we’re going to the World’s famous Underground River! Kuya Danny, our contact for our Puerto Princesa tours, advised us that we’ll be joining other groups for our Underground River Tour since we are only a group of four. Not an issue, it’s an opportunity to make new friends and as they say, the more, the merrier! Early Birds Pick up time is 7:30am so we need to wake up early. And excited as we are, we were ready before the van had arrived with full stomach! Thanks to Tres Pension’s free continental breakfast and to Joy, the very accommodating staff, who had prepared our breakfast as early as 6:30am. Our van has arrived and we were picked up, just right on time. There were a total of 3 groups, with 11 individuals...

Half Day Honda Bay Tour: A Desperate Move

We luckily booked a promo flight to Puerto Princesa last November and it was good for a 3days/2Nights vacation. We were greening upon successfully booking the flight – Php700 for a roundtrip Cebu-Palawan flight! Yep, it’s way cheaper than the regular rates. But little did we know that 3days is not really enough to enjoy the beautiful province of Palawan, or even Puerto Princesa at least. Dilemma Moments Came January and we were in dilemma. We started looking and planning for things we can do in Palawan. And obviously, the recently world renown new seven wonders of nature, the Underground River(PPUR), was a unanimous choice for us all. So since it’s located in Puerto Princesa, we research on tourist attraction around the area. El Nido and Dos...

Tres Pension House in Palawan

We are shoe string travelers; we usually exhaust any means in order to have a cheaper vacation, from awaiting airplane promos to scouting cheap accommodation. After successfully booking our promo air fare, we were so lucky to find Tres Pension House for our cheap Puerto Princesa, Palawan accommodation. Entrance - Concrete Accommodation Cheap Accommodation I admit, the very reason why we booked in Tres Pension house was because of their cheap room rates. Thanks to Trip Advisor, I was able to find this great place. It has a few reviews but all were good and the rate is cheap. As we know, Puerto Princesa is now becoming very popular and as top destination not just here in the Philippines but all over the world. It’s where the Underground River...

Cebu International Golf and Resort

Cebu International Golf and Resort is where we had our last team building for 2011. The place is not that well known compared to other resorts and to the locals as its main attraction is the golf course and as we know, golf is only a famous among the upper class. And thanks to this team building activity, we had the chance to visit the place and experience something new. The Resort & Golf Course The place is really huge, as I’ve read that it’s about 8 hectares; the golf course is very well maintained with lots of greens and beautifully manicured grasses. We were so amazed with the area and the view that we even rented their golf cart and strolled around the course. For the resort, as the place is elevated, it offers a beautiful view...
