Find hotels near Taytay in Palawan, Philippines

It was actually a big delight that i was booked in Apulit. The only complaint I have is time limit for your transport towards your hotel. From port of taytay, its a 50 min boat ride which is free till 3pm. Anything after that till 5PM you rent the whole boat (5K). When you consider the proximity of taytay from puerto princesa and the flights available in all airlines, you are bound to miss the free ride (4 hours away form puerto or 3 and half if you skip lunch or breaks). You either stay a night in puerto and travel day after or take the chartered flights from manila which is P11K plus for RT. For couples its worth it,but in groups, a RT flight from manila to puerto can go as low as P3k to P6k. A group of 7 (my family) , its practical to fly by passenger airlines. As for the hotel, miniloc and all el nido resorts properties (there are 4) have one thing in common, exclusivity. Apulit is the only resort in the municipality of taytay and all its spots are catered by the resort alone (that I know of). Whereas in El nido, everyone has free access to neighboring islands. Anyone checked in the town of El Nido who books a private boat will have the same access to all the islands in el nido. You don’t have this in Apulit as you don't compete for meager space in El Nido Islands.. At lunch, it was like a parking mall of small boats as all of the guides had the same spot for lunch. Theres also a rappel site which was scary not for the height but make a slip and you'll have a cut as the stones were razor sharp. do it on a sunset and you'll have breathtaking pictures that no one has. The food was superb. for 500 USD divided by 3 in a room with unlimited seafood meal at night and all meals included, you can't go wrong. Theres even a happy hour pre-dinner at the bar. I would have preferred another night there. As for El nido, I rather be in Coron or Apulit again than be in El nido as it is just one big hype.

We stayed at Noa Noa for three nights, and it was the most beautiful place we stayed at, we wish we could've stayed longer. Everything is so well arranged and focused on the guest having a great stay. The island is secluded and is truly beautiful. The coral around the island is so beautiful, the best we've seen in Palawan. The food was amazing, really tasty and more than enough. We booked some massages and a facial, and that was also the best we had in Palawan. The service was perfect, well organised, and all of the staff were amazing. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Please note that about 3.000 PHP has to be paid a person a day for food (well worth it) and the transfer from Taytay to Noanoa is about 3.000 PHP a person one way.

We stayed at Flower island for 11 nights in May / June 2018 and would highly recommend it to anyone. The island is beautiful, with a really nice coral reef right off the beach. We saw an amazing array of sea life, from turtles to eagle rays and even some Nudibranchs (sea slugs). My partner was unfortunately ill for quite a while, due to a stomach upset she picked up in El Nido, and the staff at Flower island were absolutely amazing, first helping with some rehydration salts and then taking us by boat to the hospital in TayTay. Huge thanks to them all, and especially Mimi, who stayed with us in the hospital all day to help and stayed overnight in TayTay, so she could come back early the next day and get us back to the island. The food on the island is great, with different delicious home-cooked dishes every day, one night we were presented with a big pile of lobsters for dinner! All the staff are great, very friendly and helpful, and really made us feel at home. We hope we can go back!

On Google maps Pems is located next to the bus terminal (be careful as is actually in Centre of Taytay, 7 mins by tricycle). Value for money is outstanding and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The manager Chan Lee is such a great guy- he took us on a day of island hopping with lunch included. word of warning: there are no places to get money out in Taytay (closest is El Nido) so make sure you factor that in! Hotel was kind enough to let us leave and pay later for the island hopping when we got back to Puerto Princesa through the Pawn Shop Highly recommend Pems!

Having stayed here for several months in 2011, while doing my PhD research here, it was an absolute pleasure to come back and find it very much the same - only with the addition of wifi (albeit slow) and hot water for the showers. And Taytay now has 24-hr electricity (albeit with some brownouts). The view from the restaurant is absolutely spectacular - mesmerizing - and the luxuriant garden setting is tranquil. The cottages are comfortable and spacious, and Cottage 3 in particular has a beautiful view. The staff are kind and accommodating. Though they are sometimes lacking in food options (Taytay is not always the best-connected market in terms of produce, etc.), I enjoy the food. Being at Casa Rosa really feels like you are somewhere special.
