Sheridan Beach Resort & Spa, Puerto Princesa City

Sheridan Beach Resort & Spa is just one of the resorts of Sheridan located in the central islands of Luzon and Visayas. I had the chance to stay in the Puerto Princesa resort three times - once in 2014 when I did the Mutya ng Pilipinas swimsuit competition. Another one in 2016 and the latest was this year (2018). The last two were courtesy of the gift certificates given to me when I sat down as judge in some of the competitions of Mutya ng Pilipinas 2016 and 2017.

Nestled among the lush greens and active seashore of Barangay Sabang, Sheridan is a commune with nature. Its proximity to the Puerto Princesa Underground River makes it a perfect place to stay if visiting one of the world wonders is your main purpose.

Its large pool is one of the reasons why people stay at Sheridan. It has a "floating" bar where you can order drinks of your choice. It is strategically situated in between the two original buildings of the resort. Lifeguards are on the look-out 24 hours a day.

Since the resort is also a spa, it has services and equipment that cater to the needs of the more physically-active guests. Gym equipment can be used for free while spa services can be availed at affordable prices.

It has a stage that makes Sheridan not only a resort & spa but also a venue for special events. Mutya ng Pilipinas and Miss Asia Pacific International have used the said stage for their various pageant activities.

The South Sea Restaurant in the resort serves one of the best meals in all the resorts that I have visited all over the Philippines. It caters to all sorts of food requirements but their breakfast is really sumptuous and generous.

The architecture of the resort is basically Asian but inspired by Indonesian architecture. Plants in between the room areas are fresh and well-maintained. There is a beautiful feel when you go out of your room since nature is abounty.

If you have plans of going to the Puerto Princesa Underground River or just simply go on vacation this side of the Philippines, Sheridan Beach Resort & Spa is a highly recommended place to stay in. Rates are reasonable and services are world-class.

Special THANK YOU to the Tan family for the gift certificates and to Miss Mayenne Vijandre for facilitating the reservations of my last two visits.

The Allure of Puerto Princesa City

Puerto Princesa City is the capital of Palawan (also known at the country's last frontier). Years of the people's hard work in making a good image for the city, everything seems to have settled in their right places. It is now benefitting from the discipline and will-power by its local government officials, past or present.

Puerto Princesa boasts of a topography which God gave to its people. Its well-preserved environment is something that makes it extra different from the other cities in the Philippines. Strict ordinances were crafted to really protect its environs. To this day, they are monitored and followed to the T.

The city is tourist-friendly. With the many hotels and resorts to choose from, it is ready to take on tourists who would like to frolic in the sea, enjoy its wonders or simply relax. Puerto Princesa is a city which is a must-visit according to several tourism websites.

The people are friendly...the sceneries are picturesque...the atmosphere is serene. Truly consistent being a part of a last frontier.

Despite the influx of different business establishments, the flurry of foreign and local tourists, the noise that man-made machines create and the hustle and bustle of daily city life, there are still many places in Puerto Princesa where one can enjoy the much-needed silence and respite from daily routine.

With the recent upgrade of its airport, it should be more fun visiting Puerto Princesa. It.'s a good thing that it is here in the Philippines...an alluring city in an alluring province.
