Dos Palmas - Palawan

We had our Planning Session in Dos Palmas, Palawan ... We were excited yet at the same time apprehensive ... After all, it was in Dos Palmas where the Burnhams were kidnapped by Abu Sayaff and where Rico Yan had passed away ... but nonetheless, despite the fear of the living (Abus) and the dead (Rico), we were determined to enjoy it ... after all, we knew how expensive it is to stay in this place! :)

Service - great if you are on vacation ... but they need some improvements in handling corporate sessions ... our break-out rooms weren't ready when they were supposed to be ... we had wasted at least 30 minutes trying to get it sorted out ... however, for the island hopping and everyday requests, they are superb!

Rooms : okay ... no TV, but who needs one if there are other things to occupy yourself :)

Food : good! ... they always had a good selection of menu .... breakfast, in-betweens, lunch and dinner were all good!

Amenities : we tried the karaoke room and the table tennis facilities ... the kayaks, swimming pools, bikes ... you definitely won't get bored!

Entertainment : in-house bands are so-so ... could use some improvements ...

Give-aways : they had gifts when you arrive (some sort of a bamboo musical instrument) and when you depart (rainmaker) ... great souvenirs from a great place!


... Would I come back? ... Definitely! ... but have to save first ... it's quite pricey ... but you'll get your money's worth!
