Where To Stay In Puerto Princesa 2023

Where to stay in Puerto Princesa

Wondering where to stay in Puerto Princesa before your Balabac Private or Group Tour so that we can pick you up conveniently? Want a luggage-keeping service for your bags while you are in the tour? Please read on.

It is highly suggested that you spend a night in a lodge in Puerto Princesa where we can pick you up at around 3-4am on your Day 1 Tour. Puerto Princesa is generally a cheap place to stay, and it has a wide range of accommodation, from budget to midrange, to luxury.

Group Tour

We used to allow our guests to book any accommodation they like and we pick them up from there. However, based on experience, picking different people from different locations in the town takes so much time, which is travel time that we could have saved. We changed this by providing appointed hotels/lodges for pick up. So if you are joining one of our group tours, the following accommodations (pick up points) are your only options.

Budget accommodation/backpackers:

Hostel Privado (with free luggage keeping service). We have an official partnership with Privado that allows guests to leave their extra bags or big luggage at the safekeeping of the hotel, even if you’re not booked for the night of your return from Balabac. So if you are traveling for a long time with a lot of luggage, or if you simply don’t want to carry unnecessary items in your Balabac trip, please book here for the night before your trip. Just show them the voucher we provide to you, or our chat confirmation as proof that you’ve booked with us.

Mid-range accommodation:

We will not stop you from experiencing a higher-edge accommodation, but please choose our appointed pick up points below.

Private Tour

If you are visiting Balabac on a Private Tour, you have the liberty to pick any lodge you want as long as it is within the town proper. Although we recommend the same list as the Group Tour pick up locations (see above) because most of our previous guests pick it even without our recommendation, you are free to explore more options. You can use the widget below for a quick search.

The best island life experience All the team behind our Balabac trip was amazing and incredible! They were all friendly and helpful in our 4 days in Balabac. We went to the best and most pristine beaches in Balabac - and I must say, as a Filipino, this is probably the best beach I have seen in the Philippines! All the food they cooked and prepared were all delicious and the crabs were the bomb! We did karaoke two nights in a row and played volleyball with the local people in the village. The best way to enjoy Balabac!

This is vacation! I love the whole experience. This is what a vacation should be. Relaxed. Connecting with nature. No wifi! This is recharging your well-being. Kudos to your team for taking good care of us! Keeping us safe! They were diligent in following all protocols. Food servings were generous. Healthy eating.

Best travel adventure This was the best thing we did in our backpacking trip to Southeast Asia. The islands are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, the vegetarian food was really good and the best part of the trip was our guide Jeremy and the rest of the group! They were amazing! I would do this tour again any day! Thank you for having us ????

Most authentic experience Thi experience was one of the best I have ever made. You will going to stay in an authentic Philippino village on the beach, eat simple but delicious food, enjoy amazing staff and people. This is not for everyone but only for who wants truly to leave an authentic experience, leaving at home expectation and comfort and just enjoy adventure. Balabac I think will be soon well known so I feel lucky that I can visit now. Highly suggested and I will be back as soon as possible. Thank you!

We want to go back already! We went on the 4D3N tour and we absolutely loved it. The staff were lovely and food really good considering the location. The camp site is very basic as they mention but has everything you need and only adds to the experience. The islands you visit are so beautiful and quiet with the clearest water we have ever seen. This was definitely our highlight in the Philippines.

Amazing tour and authentic island life Through this tour, we were able to authentically experience island life in the Philippines. The campsite was situated on a beautiful island with great spots for swimming, and sunset and sunrise watching. Accommodations are comfortable and basic, perfect for those looking for adventure and to experience something new. Food was very good, a lot better than I expected (3 meals a day with an afternoon snack). Island hopping days went seamlessly and were filled with beautiful sights and the most pristine beaches. The staff who helped with the tour were the best, very helpful, and fun, and with their expertise we were able to visit all the islands during the best times. I 100% recommend booking this tour.

Genuine Island Life Experience in Balabac Thank you for making our stay the most comfortable and fun we can possibly hope for. We love all the food prepared for us, all islands that we visited and the lovely people we met. It was a good decision to choose you for this indelible unique experience, and truly, one of the most memorable trips my friend and I ever had. 'Til next time! Continue the good work you are doing there guys! P.S. I also hope there will be an effort to clean up the coastline, especially the walk on Punta Sebaring sandbar that has one of the best sunsets and powdery sand that Boracay will surely envy. Maybe, we can add some initiatives like asking tourists or even locals if they will want to join a clean up activity (no pressure of course!) in the morning to pick up bottles/ trash - sort of early sunrise bonding then coffee at the end..
