1. Blue Palawan Beach Club

These ultra cute individual huts are located in Palawan. It is a hotel known for kite surfing, so if you are lucky to have the weather suitable for it, you can rent your equipment right here. They also have a mini zip line for the kids, or big kids like me!

2. The Gramercy Residences

Our trip kicked off in Manila where we were staying in the Gramercy tower (in an Airbnb). This skyscraper is an incredible place to hang out in the Makati area. Pool on the 40th floor with a killer view and a club on the rooftop. Each unit is individually owned, so you can get some top notch housing vs. something a little more simple. So perform a little search on Airbnb using the terms Gramercy Manila to check out the individual units.

3. Hangin’ Kite Beach Resort

This place is perfect for avid kitesurfers! Situated on the west side of Boracay island right on the beach, and is a short 10 minute walk to the main action of Boracay. The rooms are large in size, and there is a roof top terrace to get your suntanning up to par. Kitesurf equipment is available to rent, as well as some great teachers to get you started in this beach sport.

4. One Manalo Place

Beautiful modern surprise in Puerto Princesa. Has a wonderful pool, gym and yummy on-site restaurant. A bonus, it’s a 2 minute drive to airport. Great if you have an early or late flight to catch!
