What can I say? This place is really awesome! Suffice it to say that I'd love to come back even if it just for a day trip. Actually, a lot of guests are day-trippers who can enjoy the resort and its amenities (excluding the pool) for a minimal cost of I think Php1,500 buffet lunch included.
This is where I had my first scuba diving lesson in the swimming pool and the subsequent dive to open water and enjoy the underwater landscapes. Our package includes introduction to scuba diving where you can learn the basics but dive no deeper than 20 feet under.
It's funny that of all the guests arrived the same day we did, I was the only one in the group to avail of the scuba diving lesson. All of them chose instead the safer option...spa massage!
Check out some of the pictures I took...

Underground River - Sabang, Palawan
As suggested, we stayed at Daluyon Beach & Mountain Resort, an excellent place to spend the night or 2 before exploring the underground river that is within walking distance.
Because Underground River is in Sabang, a nearly 2-hour drive from Puerto Princessa City, it is wise to book a room in Sabang, be it in Daluyon Beach & Mountain Resort or somewhere else, then explore the famous river early in the morning when it is not too crowded.

What type of Pinoy Traveler Are You?
I’ve noticed there are only two types of Pinoy traveler:
First, those who prefer to explore other Asian countries like Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Macau, and Hong Kong because for them, they feel they get their money’s worth and seem economically convenient for them to do so. They were even saying, “ganun din naman ang gastos” if we travel locally, so we might as well spend our "moolah" somewhere else outside of the country, “mas feeling sikat pa kasi vacation abroad”. :-)
And you know the second type of Pinoy traveler: Like me!
I’ve been asked many times (by foreigner friends and pinoys alike) why I loved to visit the Philippines and spend my hard-earned dollar and vacation time every year instead of other places in Asia and even perhaps Europe.
...and I give them the same answer year-in and year-out.
I am seriously committed to discovering the beauty and hidden gems of the Philippines first before anywhere else. I am proud to put local explorations first before any foreign travels.
Kaya naman next vacation stop ko: Palawan, to check out the famous Underground River, Bicol Region, of course to see Mayon Volcano and experience swimming with whalesharks, locally known as Butanding, and then Marinduque, for the Holy Week Moriones Festival…in that particular order!
Ikaw, which type of Pinoy traveler are you?
