I stayed in this inn by the strength of VT members tips. I am glad I did. It is just 7 minutes from the airport by tricycle and you can actually walk from the airport to the inn if you care to. :) Most who stay in this inn are repeat costumers, people who seek quiet and simple place to make a base for their activities in Palawan/Puerto Princesa.
Casa Linda is within easy walking distance to good restaurants and souvenir shops. The inn also has a small restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Casa Linda's U-shaped structure is made out of native materials, much like a giant sized nipa hut. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. There is a gazebo in the middle of the garden where guests can spend their day reading or just lounging around.
The double sharing room costs P750 (US$14), it has an efficient airconditioning unit and has its own t/b. My only gripe with the room we got is that it had no hot water. A good thing that I was so used to taking cold showers :)
The kitchen staff (Roger and Shirley) are very helpful and the front desk staff (Chat and Cess) are efficient and friendly. Even the chambermaid, Aling Elsa is very nice.

| | | | Casa Linda Inn: Country-style dwelling in the city | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The inn's structure is so reminiscent of native houses in the countryside - one level but elevated from the ground. The roof is made from nipa, the walls from sawali, the floor from wide wooden planks, and the frame from bamboo. However the bathrooms are modern despite the absence of hot water. A well tended inner garden has a gazebo at the center where guests can converge, read or simply relax.
The inn has 11 rooms with a choice between aircon and fan. They also have a stock room where you can leave your things and an ensuite bathroom where you can freshen up in case you arrive prior to check in time of 12nn.
The staff are very accommodating and friendly. They could arrange your transport and day trips at no additional cost. And being locals, they share valuable tips - must see, must eat, must avoid, etc.
A unique practice (which I failed to abide by) is the taking off of footwear when entering the inn. I wasn't aware of it until another guest called my attention. Well, it is not strictly implemented (nor followed), but it was a new experience for me.

| | | | puerto pension inn: sweet lodging! | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
initially.. what captured our interest was their sign that says "NO BROWNOUTS" .. we wanted that assurance since palawan is known for brownouts and mosquitoes.. well fortunately, you could trust their signs ;)
clean spacious rooms, hot & cold bath, cable tv, published rates include breakfast, friendly & accommodating staff..
they also arrange tours around the city .. which is highly recommended, since their packages are quite reasonable and very convenient - there were only 4 of us but they didn't make us share the tour with the other guests - their drivers are really nice and friendly
unique structure.. unique landscape (native style, with the bamboo and all)
our rooms each had a fridge filled with beer, bottled water, iced tea, chocolate bars, etc.
which you can consume (at about 20% markup from regular store prices)
if you got the skills - you could get a good bargain here ;P Theme: Pension/GuesthousePrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: just ask the trike driver - they pretty much know all the places

| | | | Casa Linda: Nice Accomodation - Casa Linda Inn | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Owned by an American and his Filipina wife, Casalinda is the best place in town if you're looking for native authenticity. The peace and quiet of its off-road location helps create a relaxed, island mood, as does the tropical courtyard lined with palm and banana trees, where you can grab a lawn chair and just hang out. Like Casalinda's native neighbors, rooms are constructed of bamboo, rattan, and suwali walls, and provide little more than the basic 5-inch foam mattress and air-conditioning in eight of the units. The trade-off here is the lack of hot water, but if you can handle it for a day or two, the ambience and price can't be beat.
