It's our first time in Puerto Princesa and we are looking for a somewhat affordable but a nice place to stay, luckily, we found Balai Felicisima. Stayed there last Feb 2013 for 4D/3N and we really love the place. We were able to meet the owners(siblings) of Balai, all of them are very very nice. The staff are great. One... More

We stayed at Balai during last week of february, with their 4d/3n package for quad sharing. Their place is so clean & ambience is relaxing. The staffs' services are truly remarkable, doing everything they can and almost everything we asked for. We were even asked by one of the owners if theres anything else we need.We enjoyed our tours especially... More

We visited the hotel in February 2013. The hotel itself is quite pretty and in a great location close to the airport plus many restaurants and bars. The place is very clean and quiet as it is down a lane off the main road. However we had a major issue with a tour booking. As all the guide books and... More

Thank you for your nice comment about Balai Felicisima's cleanliness, its location and its staff. We are sad to know that you were disappointed with your Underground River trip. We did everything to have you booked and we even got a special trip to bring you there, at no extra cost. We have the impression that everything was okay because... More

This was recommended to me by a friend. 2-3 minutes from the airport and is very near from Rizal Avenue (heart of Puerto Prinsesa). Not on the main road which is great so it's quiet and you could get the rest that you need. Rooms are very clean and spacious as well as the linens and pillows too! Will definitely... More

Superb place !! The tricycle driver from the airport showed us the Balay Felicisima first, then rooms at other places for comparison. We found the Balai to be exceptional as well as a good location for restaurants, airport & island hop / sub-river daytrip pick-ups. The room was clean & tidy, the aircon worked well, bathroom had a new western... More

This new hotel has nice and clean rooms. The price is very reasonable. It's located a bit off the main road so very quiet. The staff is very friendly and will help you with whatever tour you want to do on Palawan.

I could not ask for more. Stayed here last Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The place definitely completed our experience in Palawan. We were not dissapointed with our expectations, what you see on the pictures is what you will experience. The staff (especially Ms. Sha) are really nice, accomodating and so much willing to give you advises on what to... More
