Panja Resort
Panja Resort in Puerto Princesa, Palawan stretches amid a vast land along a place not usually frequented by tourists. And because of the vines of yellow bell flowers that wound upon its facade of white, modest architecture, you can say that it truly blends well with nature around.
Four types of collectively opulent rooms, which still somehow lean towards the minimalist spectrum, grace the expanse of Panja. One of which is the Deluxe Queen (Php 6,500) that is equipped with a coffee and tea maker, mini-refrigerator, dresser, and a veranda.
Deluxe Queen (Php 6,500) is good for two people; with an extra charge of Php 1,200 for an additional guest
What’s rather commendable about the resort is their initiative in promoting the hospitality and tourism sector of Palawan through giving scholarship grants to deserving students of Palawan State University.
