Balai Princesca is an oasis in the middle of bustling Puerto Princesa. It is a five-minute ride to the City Center and Baywalk and less than 10 minutes to the airport. The decore is extremely serene and architecturally interesting. Everything is pretty much walkable but the hotel is very good about getting a tricycle at any time (80-300 pesos depending on the distance). This gem of a hotel has only five rooms. We stayed in the family-sized room (we were upgraded). It had two separate showers and four beds! For the two of us, it was more than spacious. There is a spa on the second floor where you can get a massage at a moment’s notice. There are three saunas and a hot tub as well. It seems counterintuitive to do a sauna and hot tub in the heat. But after a massage, it felt amazing and it actually made us feel more acclimatized to the tropical heat. The massages are highly recommended, particularly the 90-minute Balai Special and 90-minute Combination. The Lilim Cafe in the hotel is one of the restaurants in Puerto Princesa. Finally, the staff really took care of us. They picked us up from the airport. The final thing that made it truly amazing is that they arranged for us to have our 24-hour antigen test at the hotel for us. In summary, an amazing hotel with terrific staff, a good restaurant, and a spa to boot.
