Overall a great stay in a real village in a unique house with beautiful gardens!
Roy, the host from the moment we walked in made sure we were well looked after. We have just been fly in the whole night so he offered us to cook a filipino lunch. So we walked down to the local market together to get fresh ingredients and he recommended us to try a native desert such as turon (it's definitely worth a try - we had three) So lunch was amazing! He helped us with making the simcards going and answered every single question.
If we come back we will definitely stay here again! Its the chance for you to experience the life of a happy local.
Thank you Roy you made it 10/10!
The location and how to approach:
The Village House is in the suburbs of Puerto Princesa in a small village. There are absolutely no tourists in this village and it takes approx 10 mins to get there (and back) from (to) the city centre with tricycles or taxi (the latter was introduced to Puerto Princesa in February 2015 :)). I recommend to use the Taxi service when come or go to the airport (due to the luggages) and use tricycles every other time. The former is approx 100 PHP, the latter is 50 PHP/trip. The hotel itself is located on a dirtroad approx 100m from the main road. Do not get confused by the other houses in the neighbourhood, your’s will be perfect!
The house and the service
The hotel is a two storey bamboo house (with wood floors and wood steps to the second floor) with a balcony and veranda. Bathroom with bathtub and kitchen with fridge is located on the first floor. The service we got from Roy (caretaker/manager or the hotel) was way beyond expectations (see other reviews). You will have no issues in this matter. He is very friendly and he takes you well being as a priority.
The Neighbourhood
You will be the only tourists in the village. Be prepared for staring eyes, warm welcomes and constant smilings and greetings from the neighbour kids. There are a few local shops in the area with very low prices. Buying bread, soft drinks, beer and cigarettes as well as local foods are not an issue.
Disadvantages:
There are a few disadvantages though.Namely:
- We had some issues with the water pressure, despite the water pump was turned on. Especially in the mornings.
- The WiFi is a mobile internet installed on the second floor. Usually there were no coverage. Do not expect an always-on connection here or a fast internet access (if any).
- Roosters. In the morning :)
The house itself, while in a small village on the outskirts of Puerto, is very well appointed, spacious and enjoyable to stay in, blending modern comforts with a traditional styling.
Really great place, made all the more memorable by the efforts that Roy went to for us.
Great place! I highly recommend it!
