“Unplanned Stay””

My stay here for 2 days was very good indeed. Staffs are very accomodating, upon arrival at the lodge i saw a smile on their faces. The owner of the Hostel was very accomodating, ( Tita Miriam). She even prepared us a food every meal without charging us a fee. Also the front desk ladies (Liza and Joy) was very charming. We got a chance to bond with them during our stay. It feels like we’re staying in our own home. I love the vibes on this hostel. I will surely come back here, not for only t he hostel but for the people who have shared their times with us. The purpose of their business is to give guests a good service and not after for money. Kudos for this Hostel. Very cheap but the price is worth it.

Convenient, Accomodating, and Homey”

Given that it's a budget lodge, I wasn't expecting much, although my expectations were definitely met, and even went way beyond it! The bookings were full so we were assigned in a different annex, but it's okay since I was able to meet this lovely Persian cat named Scarlett and the other three Chihuahuas! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for convenience (it's near the famous restaurants like Ka Lui and Kinabuch's). The staff were very accommodating too. Downside though is the supply of water, as Palawan is currently suffering from water shortage due to the El Niño, so that isn't really their fault. They addressed this issue though by providing you with buckets of water, and you can just easily request for another one when it runs out. The room's clean and the beds were comfortable, good enough for a night's rest. Initially, we only planned to stay overnight, but we had complications with our lodging in El Nido so we decided to stay for another night. They also provide other services such as tours and van transfers. Overall, our stay here was a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Place is clean and very convenient for travelers like me who just needed a place to stay overnight for an early flight the next day since it is near the airport. And the owner was really accommodating and kind, stayed up to wait for the guest who arrived late at night and even helped to find a transport going to the airport. Not to mention really budget-friendly! :)

They were very helpful and they assisted me on my day to day activities. I got a good price from booking at agoda and my room is good for 2-3 persons which is a bonus.

NICE SERVICE, CHEAP PRICE AND COMFORTABLE ”

I was in palawan a week. I stayed in Fanta Lodge for 3 nights. I regreted that I didn't book a tour to El nido with her. I had a bad experience using other agents. I booked the van to El Nido at 6pm but the van came at 1915 and the boss of fanta lodge gave me an apple for free for dinner as she knew I didn't have dinner and needed to wait for the van to El Nido. After the van left Fanta Lodge, the van tried to attract passengers to make the van full at Puerto Princesa Airport. Finally the van left at 2030 and arrived El Nido in the next day 0215. So please book the tours at Fanta Lodge. The Second things that I came back from El Nido to Puerto Princesa, I stayed Fanta Lodge again, I was ill and I asked the boss where could I buy the medicine, she was so nice to tell me in details,and gave me two Chinese citrus for viramin c supplements. For the quality of fanta lodge, it is very good in this price range, you can have free water, coffee, even in dormitory, you have aircon, Nice s
