Introducing the Journal.

A note from the family — why we're writing, what you'll find here, and how to get in touch.

Welcome to the Journal.

We're not your typical hotel blog. We're a family of former tourists who visited Palawan, fell in love with it, and decided to build a life here. That perspective — outsiders who became insiders — shapes everything we write.

What You'll Find Here

This is a resource for anyone planning a trip to Palawan. We cover:

  • Destination guides — honest takes on the spots worth visiting (and the ones that are overhyped)
  • Itineraries & getting-around tips — what to wear, what to pack, how to navigate the logistics
  • Local notes — a kilometer-by-kilometer sense of San Manuel, the southern highway, the morning market
  • Seasons — when to come, what's in bloom, what the kitchen is baking

Why Listen to Us?

We live here. We run a bed & breakfast here. We've helped thousands of guests plan their Palawan trips. These are raw insights from ground-zero — not recycled travel-blog content written by someone who visited once, three years ago.
