Hotels in Palawan, Philippines
Palawan is a long island in the southwestern Philippines, where temperatures stay around 80°F (27°C) year-round. It's famous for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a 5-mile underground river you can boat through, and the stunning lagoons of El Nido and Coron. During the dry season from November to May, you can kayak in the turquoise waters of Big Lagoon or dive at Coron's WWII shipwrecks, while the rainy season from June to October brings cheaper prices and greener landscapes, perfect for hiking in the Cleopatra's Needle forest reserve.
