PALAWAN
| Palawan is perhaps the least
developed and most enchantingly rustic of the major islands in the
Philippines. It lacks completely the the urban sprawl on Luzon. The commercial atmosphere of Boracay and Cebu is almost completely absent. And unlike Mindanao, a relaxed vacationer never has to worry that his beach might soon become a war zone. Palawan is the last frontier of the Philippines, and its beaches are beautiful |
| Comment by Manila Island Girl Palawan is one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. I've been to LOTS, and this is the one! There are so many different places to see on this island it's maddening. The Philippines is the NGO capital of the world, just to further build up Palawan's reputation, these NGOs do a good job on trying to keep nature intact, and help the locals with tourism. There are sooooo many cheap places to stay, as low as 200 pesos (4 US dollars) a night. For restaurants, eat at Ka'luis because they have the food, price, and ambiance down to a 't'. Then there's the Vietnamese vegetarian place (holy cheap & good), various chicken barbeque spots and of course, the restaurants that cater to foreigners. Come visit the Philippines, especially Palawan. You will not regret it! |
