Puerto Princesa has a dearth of good midrange hotels, so this leafy compound is a breath of fresh air if you don't mind being a bit out of the centre. The 25 rooms and villas are spacious and attractive. Request one away from the noisy pool and common area, where billiards, table footie and other games mean plenty of commotion.
