The room we stayed was clean and the bed was comfortable. Location is good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing we didn't like is the water pump just outside our room - I'm not a light sleeper but it really disturbed us during the night. They gave us a room on the first floor - near... More

Overall, a nice place. I think a bit on the expensive side for the Philippines, but the room was decent size and clean with beyond-basic furniture. Location is near the airport (with free pickup), so in that way, it is convenient (it was super nice to have their driver waiting for me on my arrival). And not too far from... More

Stayed here for only one night after travelling from El Nido. Chose it because of its proximity to the airport and their complimentary airport transfers. Didn't get to visit the beach nearby but we did go to a restaurant at their recommendation - Badjao. Very thankful for their information as the meal was spectacular and the sunset view a highlight.... More

OC that I am, I browsed as much online reviews of possible lodging options as possible. Gut feel made us book with Kookaburra. Since I wanted this to be a real vacation for us, I wanted everything in order even before we arrive. The manager, Butch, was very kind in helping us achieve this. He was quick in responding to...

This place is a little out of the way but I think it's well worth your money. The rooms are clean and the showers worked fine. It's also very quiet. Breakfast was okay. What I liked best about this place was the atmosphere. Unlike other places in Puerto Princesa, this place is all about nature. Lots of lush greenery. For... More

They answer all our questions and we informed them how long we will stay and the places we want to go. (1 month prior our flight). They just get our... More

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a mini-vacation to Palawan. In the past, we have vacationed in Mindoro, Bohol, and northern Luzon. Our stay at Kookaburra was by far the best experience of them all. The Kookaburra staff was extremely cordial and professional. Their hospitality made our stay a pleasant experience.

The reservation transaction was fast and efficient and they arranged all our tour packages. The staff are attentive to our needs and are always approachable. Since we traveled with another family, I booked two family rooms which are located at the top most floor of the building. We had the entire floor to ourselves. Also, there is a nearby beach,... More
