Hotels in Palawan, Philippines

Palawan is a long island province in the western Philippines, famous for its limestone karst landscapes and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The climate is tropical, with temperatures hovering around 77-90°F (25-32°C) year-round-the dry season from November to May is best for island hopping in El Nido's Bacuit Bay or diving in Coron's Japanese shipwrecks, while the rainy season from June to October brings lower prices and fewer tourists, perfect for exploring Puerto Princesa's underground river without the crowds. If you want different vibes, head to El Nido for stunning lagoons and cliffs, Coron for wreck diving and hot springs, or the quieter northern town of San Vicente for its 14-km uninterrupted beach.
