A Bigger and Better 2014!!

As we face a new year of challenges and achievements, I am happy to announce that Villa Saturnina is on the right track for a BIGGER and BETTER 2014!

First, it is our honor to have been chosen as one of TripAdvisor's 2014 Travelers' Choice Awardees. We are a small business with limited experience in handling customers, and even more limited resources. We do not have a sizable staff or a big hotel. What we do know, however, is how to take care of friends who come to Puerto Princesa looking for a worthwhile vacation. Our customer service does not depend on man-made infrastructures, but on how we address the needs of our guests. It is this kind of personalized service that we want to offer to your clientele.

Check out our TripAdvisor page for more details.

Villa Saturnina is also starting to grow. Our flagship bed and breakfast is located 12 kms from the airport and a few minutes from the Honda Bay wharf. This inn basically caters to guests who prefer to stay in a quiet location, or tourists who want easier access to the tour destinations. This year, we have opened the doors of our second location in Dacanay Road (5 minutes away from Robinsons Palawan). This site is more accessible to local dining spots and recreation areas.

Two different locations, two options for our discerning customers. Whatever your preference may be, you can rest assured that the quality of service and level of care that made previous clients satisfied will also be provided to you. Check out our competitive rates below; packages that provide great value for your hard earned money. You may email us at VillaSaturnina@gmail.com, or call/text at 09172001222 // 09999928276. We would be happy to entertain your questions and inquiries.

Puerto Princesa on a Budget!

Experience the BEST of Puerto Princesa with a small budget! For as low as 4,700 per head, you and your group (4 or more) already have an aircon room for 3d2n, breakfast, airport transfers, underground river tour, honda bay tour, city tour AND firefly watching! At this rate, IT'S LIKE GETTING YOUR ROOM FOR FREE!!!

Villa Saturnina now has two locations: one near the Honda Bay Wharf, and a new location minutes away from Robinsons Palawan. The excellent service we provide also made us a recipient of the 2014 Traveler's Choice Award from TripAdvisor.

For inquiries, please leave a private message, or email us at VillaSaturnina@gmail.com. You may also call/text 09172001222. We can customize the perfect vacation based on your schedule and specific needs.

Tips for the Frugal Traveler

Times are tough, and every penny saved is a penny that can be used for something else. Travel does not have to be expensive for it to be memorable.  If you know how to make adjustments to your vacation budget, you will be able to do more, buy more, and have a much better experience. Here are some tips on how to get huge savings from your next travel adventure.

1. Know Your Options

There are a lot of travel packages options and packages available in the market, each one promising you the best experience or the cheapest vacation. Most of these providers will push their customers into a corner, pressuring them with deadlines and time constraints. You should not allow yourself to blindly close a deal because “it is your last chance” or “it is impossible to find a better deal later on.” If an agent tries to sell you something under pressure, there is a big probability that you are getting a bad deal. Consider your options and look into the details and inclusions of several packages. Here's an example of a package that has excellent inclusions:

2. Avail of Airline Discounts

Every now and then, major airlines offer huge discounts on airfare. Availing of these promotional rates could spell the difference between a “nice trip” and a “fabulous trip.” You can get as much as 80% off from the regular rate if you plan your trip ahead of time. This will come out much cheaper than the “all-in promos” that some travel agencies and groupon sites offer.

3. Travel Buddies

It is less expensive to travel with a group, and travel agencies usually provide substantial discounts for groups of 7 or more. If you find yourself traveling alone or with a small group, it may be best to consider finding travel buddies who can share your costs. You can meet  these people at the airport, or at your hotel. You will be surprised at how much you can save on transportation costs, meals, and other expenses. This will also be a great opportunity to meet new friends and contacts.

4. Get Cheap Transportation

When you arrive at a new place, you should try to get information on your transportation option from the experts: the locals. Cheap transport alternatives are always available if you knew where to look. Airport cabs and tricycles, for example, usually charge more than the public utility vehicles you can catch outside the airport gates. There are also travel agencies and inns that offer free airport transfers to your hotel.

5. Buy Your Own Booze

Some hotels may charge a minimal corkage rate for drinks, but you will still end up saving money if you bought your own beer or liquor from a local supermarket.

6. What Guidebook?

Guidebooks are useful if you want to learn random information about a potential destination, but you should never make the mistake of relying too much on these bulky (and possibly outdated) books. They are usually expensive, heavy, and limited. A much better alternative is to whip out your smart phone and search for good travel blogs. Also, you can always get information from your hotel’s front desk officer, as well a from locals.

7. Cook for Yourself

If you have access to a kitchen (and if you know what you’re doing), it may be a good idea for you to cook your own meals. It will be cheaper if you buy your own ingredients from a supermarket and cook sumptuous meals for your family and friends. Ask your hotel beforehand if they allow the use of their cooking facilities, or if they are willing to cook for your (usually for a minimal cooking fee). Of course, you will end up missing out on local cuisines and delicacies (which is a travel experience in itself). Some hotels like Villa Saturnina allow the guests to use the kitchen facilities, as well as cook for the guests.
