Four Points by Sheraton Palawan Puerto Princesa stands on Sabang Beach in Barangay Cabayugan, on 5.25 hectares of shoreline with direct beach access. The hotel describes itself as just minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. It has 168 rooms and a four-class rating. It has an outdoor resort pool, a kiddie pool, a whirlpool and a pool bar, plus a spa, a 24-hour fitness centre, watercraft rental and an outdoor pickleball court.
Understand the location before you book
This is not in Puerto Princesa city. The hotel is on Sabang Beach, which is the access point for the Underground River, and the airport is about 70 kilometres away, a drive of roughly 99 minutes. That makes it ideal if the cave is your priority, since you can reach the park in minutes rather than spending the day in transit, and a poor fit if you want to eat out in the city every night.
An airport shuttle is available on request for a fee, so ask when you book.
Facilities are the draw. The beachfront setting includes a seasonal turtle nesting ground, and the pool area has a swim-up style bar. Dining includes Evolution, an all-day restaurant with a live kitchen and a buffet breakfast from 6 to 10 am, plus the pool bar for snacks and drinks. Breakfast can carry a surcharge on some rates, so check what your rate includes. Free self parking and free in-room Wi-Fi are offered, and activities include kayaking, surfing and body boarding.
The hotel suits families, couples and groups who want a resort stay with an easy Underground River visit and a day or two of beach time. Sabang is quiet at night, and options beyond the hotel are limited, so plan to eat on site or take a short ride. Combine it with the firefly trip and Honda Bay from a city base if you want more variety, and book transport in advance, since taxis are less frequent outside Puerto Princesa.
