Palawan is known as the last ecological frontier of the Philippines due to
its thriving diversity of endemic wildlife and a wealth of intact ecosystems.
The entire province is a Fish & Wildlife Sanctuary, as well as a Mangrove Forest
Reserve. At the centre of Palawan is Puerto Princesa, the Capital. Northwest of
the capital, lies a group of islands and sandbars in Honda Bay.
Dos
Palmas Island Resort & Spa is located among one of those islands and
sandbars. Just 25 minutes overland takes you to Sta. Lourdes Wharf, where our
outrigger boat awaits to ferry guests on a 50-minute boat ride to the
resort. Of the island's 20-hectare total land area, 60,000 sq. mtrs. are fully
developed with rest and recreation facilities. On one edge of Dos
Palmas is a 3-hectare mangrove. |

Accommodations
Guests can fully experience the flavour of island living at the newly
refurbished cottages, with their polished wood floors, thatched roofing made of
cogon grass and ethnic accents sourced from local craftsmen.
The Bay Cottages, with a total
of 10 cottages perched on stilts above
the clear blue shallows, retain the romantic ambiance of its extraordinary
location, while providing all the luxurious comforts customers have come to
expect.

Beach Villas with a magnificent view.
Aside from the Bay
Cottages, the existing 38 Garden Cottages, have been remodelled to create a
total of 78 spacious Beach Villa
rooms.
The garden pathways
leading to the Beach Villas, have been transferred to the back, allowing more
privacy at both ground level and second floor front porches, where guests can
sit back and enjoy the morning mists and magnificent sunsets over Honda Bay. |

Restaurants and Bars
Although fresh seafood from the waters of Palawan are easily the
most popular items on the buffet table, the kitchen staff, our
in-house Chef, is equally adept at whipping up other dishes to suit
both local and international tastes.
Our
different dining venues are designed to make meals satisfying to all
the senses. Kara-e-nan Restaurant, which can seat up to 200 people,
is the main dining venue. But if you want to add even more spice to
your meals, you could have breakfast or lunch at one of our huts on
stilts right in the middle of the sea! For al fresco dining, our
special dinner buffet is served in a different part of the resort
every night. Kara-e-nan's Bar, Ereneman, is an ideal hangout for
wines and spirits once the sun sets. |
