Irresistible summer deals in one of the country’s
cleanest and greenest cities
Just as Palawan’s got
something for just about
everyone on a great-outdoors
break — pristine beaches
for the water babies, trails
for trekking enthusiasts, a
subterranean cave for the
daring — Hotel Centro, in the
heart of Puerto Princesa, has
tailored getaway packages
with extras. A family package,
for instance, includes gifts for
the little ones to take home.
For guests who want the
total experience, the hotel
has designed a complete tour
vacation package — hotel
stays, meals, transfers, plus
a selection of tours taking
in Palawan's biggest draws.
Apart from taking a tour
of the capital city, visit the
Puerto Princesa Subterranean
River National Park and soak
up some sun at Honda Bay.

So you've made like contenders
for the top prize in
The Amazing
Race
and dashed across Puerto
Princesa, ticking off all the must-
see sites and must-do activities.
Surely you'll need some time
and more than a few refreshing
drinks to cool down. Hop over to
the Acacia Garden Tree Hotel, a
cluster of Mediterranean-inspired
white villas surrounded by lush
gardens. Enjoy an ice-cold beer or
fresh fruit shake under the shade
of Acacia trees (of course), and
load up on the cafe's bestselling
seafood dishes. Cap your meal
with your choice of cocktail —
Caipirinha, Acacia Angel Punch
or Mango Daiquiri (below) —
from its wide selection.

breakfast for two children,
11 years old or younger, are
just some of the cool perks.
For the grownups, there are
free cocktails at the hotel's
Soul Pool Bar, plus discounts
at the restaurant and the
spa. Early birds who snap
up hotel promotions get
extra sweet deals. Nestled
within the city’s growing
leisure and business district,
the 1.4-ha hotel stands out
for its open spaces, which
are landscaped as a nod
to the “City of Forests”. In
fact, there's a mini-forest on
the property. Still, because
it's in the city center, it's
within easy reach of the
entertainment hubs.
