MANILA, Philippines - Idyllic. Tranquil. Serene. Pristine. Majestic.
The paradise destination of Puerto Princesa, with all its natural spectacle and splendor, certainly deserves such abundance of praises and so much more. Its picturesque landscape, molded by the forces of water, wind, and weather over the course of countless generations, has drawn the eyes and won the hearts of tourists, adventurers, and families the world over.
However, the allure of Puerto Princesa extends beyond the perceptible and tangible as the thousands who have ever set foot on its sun-soaked shores and explored its limestone caves can attest to. Indeed, the dream of Puerto Princesa is fully realized with “the experience” — one that only a top resort of exceptional caliber can offer.
Realizing that dream for the complete Puerto Princesa experience has given rise to a new haven of peace and adventure: Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa — the only five-star beachfront luxury resort on this stretch of Palawan island, located only five minutes away from the Puerto Princesa International Airport.
Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa is bold and ambitious in its commitment to offer a unique experience that is inspired by and even complementary to the natural wonders already bestowed upon the land. The resort brings land, sea, air, nature, and culture together in a dreamy concert that is bound to make vacations, celebrations, and escapades even more unforgettable.
To begin their journey, guests will have a bevy of 78 luxurious rooms and villas to choose from, which are categorized into three inspired themes:
• The pride of the resort are the Water Villas, the first ones ever erected in Puerto Princesa, hovering above the waters just a few meters away from the coastline.
• The three-story Harbor Wing is a luxurious retreat for groups and families, offering a grand view of the ocean, as well as access to the hotel’s many pools, Jacuzzi, and private garden.
• Six Pool Villas are also available for those looking for escape, privacy, and luxury. A pocket garden, private pool, and a lanai with outdoor hardwood deck, among many others, are made exclusively available for guests.
Adventure awaits just a few steps from the guest rooms. Within the main compound of the resort alone, guests can already take advantage of a variety of services and amenities: an organic leisure farm for the green thumbs; a Hilot Spa villa with shower, sauna, salon, gym, and clinic; an art center and a Tagbanua cultural house, all that plus seven different pools and three water slides.
On the water, guests can commune with nature as they wound around the mangrove or go sunset fishing. They can also enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and other water sports activities for additional thrills. Meanwhile, a cable car can also ferry guests to the resort’s exclusive sandbar for an even more exhilarating view of the sky above and the water below.
In terms of food selection, Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa offers three different options to cater to every taste and occasion: an international buffet at Rice on the main compound; seafood Thai cuisine at the Golden Elephant Restaurant jutting above the water; or exotic cocktails at Float bar anchored in the middle of the ocean and accessible only by cable car.
All these exciting experiences waiting for guests at the resort are all made possible by Puerto Princesa’s abundant natural resources, and so Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa is even more doubly committed to the environment as much as to its guests. For this reason, the resort has employed ecologically sound practices — from construction all the way to operation. Examples of these include maximizing materials found in the area to minimize carbon footprint, chlorinating swimming pools with natural sea salt, using solar panels to provide hot water, and installing wastewater treatment plant and desalination system.
Indeed, this symbiosis of nature and technology only adds to the overall holistic experience that the Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa promises to leave guests with.
The resort invites everyone to its blissful sanctuary and enjoy a complete Puerto Princesa experience.
