We arrived in Puerto Princesa after 4pm because our AirAsia flight was late, caught a trike to our hotel via a stop off at a resto for some food. The place we were staying at was called Ala Amid Bed and Breakfast located in a quiet area in the north east of the city near Robinsons Mall. I think I paid P2,300 per night and this is one hotel I totally recommend. Welcome drinks and towels supplied after using the pool were just a few things that made it special along with the spacious clean room that had a balcony overlooking the pool. It was also the first establishment in the Philippines I've been to that had a guest book too. The staff were spot on as well.

Two nights were spent here meaning the one whole day was mainly spent relaxing and not on a tour to the Underground River which we were thinking about but decided against based on a 3-4 hour round trip to get there and a six hour jaunt up to El Nido the next day. My original schedule could have accommodated the UR but I met Aimee afterwards so the schedule was changed to a new one hence why the first part of the holiday seemed slightly chaotic.

We decided on spending a bit of time at Nagtabon Beach but we never got there. I wasn't prepared to pay more than P600 for the trip but the trike drivers wanted nearly double because of the steep hills, so in the end we spent the day relaxing by the pool, visiting the mall and taking a stroll down the baywalk in downtown PP.
