Newly Opened Astoria Resort Presents A Greener Palawan Experience

A new Palawan beach resort promises a more fun and greener holiday in the Philippines. Astoria Palawan in Puerto Princesa is Astoria Hotels and Resorts’ latest addition to its expanding list of luxury properties. It presents prime features for travelers' pleasure, and utilizes eco-friendly building materials, practices, and methods to keep the natural resources of Palawan pristine.

1. This beach resort in Palawan sits on a 5-hectare mangrove area with its own manmade pond and creek. These fresh bodies of water are use for irrigating the nearby mango trees and can also be used for recreational fishing.

2. It has its own state-of the-art sewage treatment plant that recycles the property's waste water. This system not only allows the resort to cut down on its water consumption, but also makes sure that waste is properly contained and disposed.

3. To build the resort's rustic/modern design, sustainable building materials, raw concrete, and stones found in the area were used for the structural components and interior partition walls. The environmental design and materials used throughout the Puerto Princesa accommodation are meant to make the guests' experience unique and memorable.

In addition to these admirable features, Astoria Palawan has 40 luxurious guestrooms that combine contemporary and traditional elements to create a charming and relaxing atmosphere. While the Deluxe, Studio, 1 Bedroom Suite, and 2 Bedroom Suite categories vary in dimensions and design, all are amply fitted with comforts that will keep everyone happy and at home. These rooms have either a king size bed or queen size beds, individual climate control air-conditioning, LCD television, DVD player, Wi-Fi Internet access, refrigerator, and coffee and tea maker.

Moreover, Astoria Palawan has a restaurant with air-conditioned and al fresco halls facing the Sulu Sea. For further fun and satisfaction, there's also an infinity pool equipped with fiber optic lights that mimic constellations at night. Kids and the young at heart will enjoy playing billiards, card and board games, and video games that are provided in the recreation pavilion. Another thing to get excited about come 2015 is a 4,000-sq-m water park featuring water geysers and bamboo water canons to help guests cool down.

Astoria Palawan Resort is located in San Rafael, Puerto Princesa, right on the shores of the picturesque Honda Bay. Its 90-minute driving distance from the Puerto Princesa International Airport makes this Palawan beach resort a perfect venue to enjoy the gorgeous sites and scenery of the Philippines' Last Frontier.
