Puerto Princesa
Double rooms in this contemporary hotel sport tile floors, little 'lanai' courtyards and high-end bathrooms. The gym, which overlooks the pool (nonguests can swim for P250), is the best place to work out in Puerto. The breakfast area and some rooms are set around the pool, which is nice but could use more shade.
In a separate wing out front are a spa, the Hangover Sports Bar & Grill and Jukebox, a popular KTV spot.
