Lonely Planet, the largest travel guide book publisher in the world, has picked Palawan as among the 10 “best value travel destinations” for 2014.
Lonely Planet writer Tom Hall raved about Palawan’s jungle rivers, limestone cliffs and awesome beaches in his review.
“Palawan’s no secret, but it certainly rewards those who visit,” wrote Hall. “This mix, combined with stand-out attractions such as Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park and the Bacuit Archipelago (all available at a competitive price), makes it a great-value pick for old Asia hands and novices alike.” A journey on from Palawan, Hall said, leads to the Calamian Islands “where apparently Alex Garland saw the strip of sand that inspired The Beach.”He warns potential Palawan tourists though to “watch out for the May to October monsoon: it brings heavy rain, usually in the afternoon.”
