One of the good things about AirPhil Express Puerto Prinsesa Adventours is that you can choose which hotel to stay in. Marianne Home Inn is the cheapest among the 3 hotels in the list but you don’t have to worry as the place is made of awesome. Really.
Located right in the city of Puerto Prinsesa, Marianne Home Inn is very accessible. The hotel is just an 8 minute ride away from the airport and the famous park, Baywalk, is actually a 5-minute walk.
As you enter the hotel, you’d see the beautiful homey design of Marianne Home Inn. Not to mention, the very warm welcome of the staff when we arrived. The place is fully connected too with free WiFi all over the place.

All the rooms are located upstairs. As we climbed up the stairs, we noticed the beautiful artifacts (such a beautiful sight)!
Marianne Home Inn has 4 types of rooms. The rates are extremely cheap! This is perfect for those who have tight budgets but still want to enjoy their hotel stay. I really appreciate AirPhil Express doing their research. They do understand as a low-cost carrier airline that their customers are budget-conscious. You should really check out the different Puerto Princesa tour packages that AirPhil Express is currently offering.

- Family Room (Php 1,600)
- Extra Bed (Php 395)
4 of us girls stayed at the Family room. The only complaint that I have is that the blanket is just a cloth and I was freezing every night. But what do we expect from a Php 1,600 room which is good already for 3 pax?
I liked how the rooms are situated. We see a whole view of the city plus the colors of the guestrooms are so appealing!
Guestroom features and amenities are the ff.:
- complimentary breakfast
- LCD cable TV
- individually controlled air conditioning unit
- Intercom
- toilet hot and cold shower
- electronic key card system
- fully automated fire safety system
I can’t help but take picture of the cute slippers in our room. Marianne Home Inn stayed true to their name, ‘Home’. You actually don’t feel like you’re staying in a hotel. For me, when we stayed there, it felt like I stayed in another friend’s house.
A highlight for us and a winner was the food! Each and every dish tasted so good that all of us wanted to bring the cook with us back home in Manila. We were already joking the owner of Marianne Home Inn if we can snatch his cook away from him hahaha!
The pantry also has free-flowing hot chocolate and coffee plus water of course. I was always looking forward for breakfast and dinner as I knew then we would be eating great food at Marianne Home Inn. I’ll provide more details as to the food we have eaten in a separate post, watch out for it 🙂

Last, but definitely not the least, the souvenir! We were all cheering when we saw what was going to be given for us to bring home! Marianne Home Inn might not be like the 5-star hotels out there but it’s a place we can very closely relate to home.

Thank you for your very informative post. I’ve been doing research with regards to the hotels and trips in palawan that would suite my budget. And your post really helped. 🙂 Anyway, just like to ask if it is possible to squeeze in Underground River tour and Honda Bay tour in 1 day? Because mostly of the tour packages in Palawan is only for 3D/2N trip. But I really want to visit the two spots. Please help. 🙂
Thank you girl! 🙂
