Traveling can be expensive. If you’ve been saving up for a vacation for a while, you probably want your money to go as far as possible so you can experience everything you want and make the most of your trip. 

The city of Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan dubbed as one of the World’s Most Beautiful Islands by numerous popular travel and news magazines. The city has also been named the “cleanest and greenest city” and has also been recognized globally for its environmental excellence.

Puerto Princesa is famous for its beautiful natural attractions like the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park which was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and as a gateway to Palawan Island, particularly to popular destinations like El Nido and lesser-known destinations including San Vicente and Balabac. 

We recently visited Puerto Princesa in Palawan for the Palawan Baragatan Festival 2022 and during which we stayed at Go Hotels Puerto Princesa. The hotel offers affordable accommodation without compromising the quality of service and comfortable stay to their guests.

The hotel is just 2.9km (15-minute drive) from the airport and 70.6km (2 hours drive) from Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.
