Asturias Hotel Palawan
Friday, March 25, 2016
Finally I've been to Palawan! But only been to Puerto Princesa, so I'm so excited to be back the soonest to visit Coron and El Nido and other famous places there, I just loved Palawan. I'll be also sharing my experience in Puerto Princesa City Tour, Honda Bay and The Underground River here. For now let's talk about hotel first, let me share my experience and review of Asturias Hotel Palawan.
After flying from Manila to Puerto Princesa Airport that I think took one hour. There's a hotel transfer provided by the hotel.
I immediately saw kuya with the signage of the name of the hotel (Asturias Hotel). Asturias Hotel isn't that far from the airport. It takes only 20 minutes or less travel time, and most of the hotels are also just along the airport.
Asturias Hotel in Palawan I guess is one of the biggest hotels in the city. I think it has thirty to fifty rooms. From afar and infront, the hotel seems like a big mansion, as you can see in the pictures below. It is big that it has its pool in the middle of the building. Because some of the hotels in Palawan don't have pool, maybe because tourist came to Palawan to be at the beach and not at the pool, but for me, it's still better to have a pool in your hotel for you can swim any time you want and it makes the place instagrammable :)
The hotel has a spacious reception are where guests can have a seat while waiting, welcome drinks are served.
Let's proceed to the room, I checked in at their superior room. The room is nice, spacious, it has a queen-size bed and another smaller bed. The room is air-conditioned, with Television with cable, office table.
Has a nice comfort room, it's one of I always check at every hotel I visit. Heater is available and there is a bathtub you can enjoy.

Breakfast is free, and entitled to the guests of the hotel. The breakfast is buffet :)
Asturias Hotel Palawan is definitely one of the best and luxurious hotel in Puerto Princesa to stay at. So I'm giving it a 3.5 out of 5 rating. If there's only complain I have, is that the staff failed to remind me of the checkout time, I know its 2 pm, but its first time for me to have a tour in my last day, so what happened is I was charged for late checkout. I don't know, maybe for the excitement of the tour, I forgot or I did not anticipated that we can return to the hotel at the right time to have checked out, anyway that's my only concern, no staff in the reception reminded me, when in the morning I have talked to them for the tour that day. But nevertheless, it was a pleasure-able stay at Asturias Hotel Palawan.
