Manuela Suites Puerto Princesa near Airport

This little hotel was the highlight of my stay in Palawan. The owners are a Filipino family. They are small business entrepreneurs and they have been open for less than a year. For this alone, you should stay here. To support Filipino small business and encourage the prosperity of the Filipino people. But that is not all. There is a happiness from the staff and the family. A real happiness. You can tell they are truly good people. There is no phony hospitality. They truly are interested in you having a good stay. The location is perfect. Right off the main road, where all the main dining establishments are located. Just a short walk leads you to their fine little hotel, tucked away in a quiet corner right at the heart of the city. The room was clean, the airconditioner was cold, and the showers are hot. There was free cold water and free sachets of coffee (along with free hot water). This is not to be downplayed, as most hotels would certainly try to charge you for water and coffee. Not only did the owners invite us to join on their family birthday dinner celebration, but they spent time talking with us and sharing their story as well. I met the owners father, Seraphine, who was a fine man at the age of 91. He has traveled all over the world and all throughout Philippines. A true gem of a man. Finally, as we were leaving, I cannot believe it. The owner actually personally drove us to our next destination. He tried to refuse any payment, which of course we insisted to give. So long story short, I implore you to stay here. Support local businesses. Support kind and happy families. Help good Filipino people attain prosperity. It is the least we can do as tourists.

The owner was lovely, she gave us good advice on where to eat ie Artizan. Booked us a van to El Nido and organized our laundry. Coffee tray downstairs and fresh water dispenser was good. Also, after a long day, snorkeling having Netflix was a welcome relief. Built in 2016 Manuela Suites is clean and purpose built. 2 Small double beds in our twin was positive too. Overall a good 2*

The location is awesome! Ms. Gina and her staff made sure that we get all the things we need - ready to extend assistance whenever they can. One of our tours was cancelled because of bad weather so we just stayed in our room - there was power outage and water shortage around the City but they have their own genset and made sure to contact water provider early on so that their guests have water to use!Excellent service! This is be our go to property whenever we visit Puerto Princesa!

Location was good. Close to pasalubong center, popular restaurants and the airport. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were also very kind. Good value for money.

The room was large, clean and comfortable. Its situated close to the airport and away from the busy main road, but still within walking distance of some good restaurants. The lady in charge was wonderful and helped us book a tour to the underground river as well as a van transfer to Port Barton. There are some set breakfast options that you can order but weren’t included in the price.
