Good to know
It’s hard to be bored in a place like this, a common favorite city among travelers, Puerto Princesa has a lot to offer the common traveler. The people are friendly, the restaurants are great and the bars flow with alcohol, can’t ask for a lot more. Like other ‘connecting’ cities, lots of travelers tend to think they should skip cities like this without thinking twice and head straight for the Islands, but if you have the time, you’ll want to spend a few days here too and you won’t be sorry you did. Take some tours, see the wildlife and eat some delicious food. When you’re ready to continue with your trip, book a private or shared van to El nido that will pick you up directly from your hotel. ​

Internet accessibility

It's frequently not working, intermittent or very slow, especially in the provinces (Palawan being the poster child for dysfunctional wi-fi). That huge caveat aside, most hotels, cafes and restaurants in touristy areas and provincical centres provide free wi-fi. For smartphone users, local SIM cards with data (4G) are easy to purchase, and data is cheap at less than P50 per day. You can still find internet cafes in most decent-sized cities. Business hotels and an increasing number of boutique hotels and hostels have computers for guests to use. Most travellers also surf the net using 3G or 4G mobile phone connections.
