At the heart of Puerto
Princesa City in Palawan can be found an ideal vacation site where total
relaxation is facilitated. Casa Linda Palawan Resort is a unique vacation inn in

Europe. It has been a favorite vacation spot for researchers, scientists,
volunteers, non-government organizations and expatriates. It is also serving as
a different accommodation for regular Palawan vacationers.
This
simple farm resort is not just a place for vacation stays in the Palawan capital
city. Casa Linda is a serene and intimate accommodation site in the middle of
Puerto Princesa. It is very quiet, very conducive for sleeping, relaxing and
reading. In fact, there is foyer where guests can easily and conveniently

are 12 spacious rooms for rent, showcasing the laid-back island lifestyle. The
guest rooms are all having native sawali walls, which are made of
hand-woven bamboo structures. Floors and shutters are made entirely of wood. The
rooms are all furnished with their own baths and toilets. However, a single
television set is provided in the lobby to complement and further implement the
laid-back atmosphere. Hot water in the bath can be attained upon request from

Linda's central portion has a thatched roof gazebo that is flanked with rooms.
Like the guest rooms, the interior of the entire inn is made of sawali
walls, spotless ipil floors and sakot columns. Outside, there is a
beautiful and interesting garden that is full of local flora. The ornamental
plants are somehow dwarfed by several coconut trees. The garden and the

the humming birds and the squirrels playing around the surrounding acacia trees.
