Daluyon Beach Resort in Puerto Princessa

Hard as it was, we had to say goodbye to El Nido and go back to Puerto Princessa.

In Puerto Princessa, we stayed at Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort which is located at the less crowded side of Sabang Beach.  It's perfect for honeymooners or families looking for peace and privacy.

We chose Daluyon over other resorts in the area because rates were reasonable and they have rooms that can accommodate up to 4 people.

We stayed at a superior room and it was spacious, comfortable, and clean.

We also had lunch and dinner at Daluyon's restaurant because we were too lazy to leave the comforts of the resort. We were lucky that the restaurant served good food and menu had a mix of Filipino, American, and Italian dishes.

Here are some of the items we ordered for lunch:

Family Time at El Nido

As a nature loving family, we definitely had a good time at El Nido!

Nothing beat waking up every day to a beautiful view with cute morning messages from Barney.

We  mostly whiled away the time exploring the different islands and beaches of El Nido. Click post here to see the islands we went to. Island hopping was included in our package with Miniloc Island Resort, but we had to pay extra for them to take us at 7 Commandos, the only new spot I visited, as it was very from the resort.

7 Commandos is a picturesque beach with white sand and clear blue waters. Best thing about our experience at 7 Commandos was we had the island all to ourselves.

In between island hopping and eating, we found time to rock climb at Entalula Beach Club, a private property owned by El Nido Resorts. It was great to finally rock climb with real rock formations.

Here's a guest showing how it's done:

Our 3 days at Miniloc Island Resort was undeniably one of the most relaxing, enjoyable trips we had as a family. It was the first time in family history that nobody complained, as we were all happy and contented being at El Nido and Miniloc Island Resort.

Miniloc Island Resort is located at  El Nido, Palawan. Rates start at 18,000php per person. For more information, click here.
