Astoria Palawan

My family went to Astoria Palawan in late October 2015. It is about 50 kms. from the capital Puerto Princesa City proper. Spacious, with a river source upstream.

Its most famous attraction at that time was its swimming pool. With plenty of fountains, partly submerged seats, and multi-colored underwater lights at night, really nice. The girl swimming in this photo, that was Elle Marie, my older daughter.

Kayaks, lifevests available in the nearby beach. But the seawater level is generally shallow, not good for swimming except perhaps when the tide is really high.

A floating walkway.

Volleyball, strolling, biking area.

The other pools, slides were still under construction that time.

Wide dining area.

The rooms and cottages. Our room was on the left side with some towels outside.

Our two girls riding the e-kart.

I tried this bike with huge tires, fun.

Our deluxe room, really wide and spacious.

Needless to say, we enjoyed our stay there. The two girls especially.

Astoria Boracay

These photos I took two years ago, December 2014, when my family went to Boracay on a RORO trip from Manila going to Iloilo. One night stays at Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, then Boracay, Aklan, before heading to Iloilo City.

No, we didn't stay there, we stayed in another beach front hotel in Boracay. While walking around the beach, I received a "free buffet lunch but attend the promo lecture" invite at Astoria, I said Ok. The hotel is owned by the family of a friend who was a schoolmate at UPSE, he's two years younger than me at the school, ka-batch nya si VP Leni.

The hotel restaurant, for buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner. Nice designs.

It's a beach front hotel and it also has a swimming pool.

While I and my wife were listening to the promo lecture, this lady staff was baby-sitting Elle Marie and Bien Mary, 8 and 4 years old then.

They were drawing, telling stories, etc. They were also served some cold drinks, thanks.

Did we get any of their promos? Yes, the cheapest one, hehe. We got a package for their new hotel in Astoria Palawan. Will blog about it later.
