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.

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 is, one of the wonders of nature. I’m expecting that the prices are relatively high considering the demand but I was relieved and happy to know that there’s cheaper accommodation for budget travelers like us.

Garden and Lounge Area

It’s a steal – Php1, 000 per night for a standard aircon room accommodation which is good for two persons. It has all the basic amenities, fee airport transfers, unlimited wifi access plus complimentary continental breakfast.

Free Breakfast

‘Homey’ Feeling
It’s the coziness of the place that makes it stand out among other hotels in Palawan. We felt were at home during our entire stay. The place is very welcoming, ‘homey’ and not to mention the staff! They were all very accommodating and helpful.

Garden

Lounge Area

The small Japanese inspired garden and this elegant spot also added a relaxing setting in the area. It’s a perfect spot when you just want to sit, play some ‘sungka’ or just want to relax.

‘2 in 1’
The place is also divided, as in literally, into two areas, the concrete and native style accommodation. Reception area, the small garden and the concrete accommodation is located in one area. Each room has a terrace in which guests can relax and eat their breakfast.

Concrete Style Accommodation

The native accommodation, which is located across the street, is of course of native style and somewhat cute Japanese inspired dining area in which guests would eat their breakfast in a Japanese setup.

Room Amenities

The room, beddings and towels are clean and fresh. It has two beds; semi double in sized, and just perfect for us four. The bathroom is also clean, it has no bath tub but has hot and cold shower.

Concrete Room Accommodation

My only negative comment is that the layout of the room where we stayed is so awkward. The television is not positioned within your line of sight when in bed. You may suffer from stiff neck from doing so..hahahah! I’m not sure if this is the layout for all of their rooms though. But nevertheless, we had a great and comfortable sleep. We are there to explore Puerto Princesa and not to watch television after all. *wink*

Location
The place is not along the main road and is somewhat in a residential area. But hey, it’s just a few minutes from the main road and actually 10-15mins from the airport. It’s located few meters away from the City Coliseum and there’s also a free shuttle from the place to the main road.

The Verdict
Tres Pension House is home away from home. The cozy feeling of the place and warm accommodation of the staff is superb! This is what makes the place outstanding from any other accommodation plus the cheap rate they have.
