NICE SERVICE, CHEAP PRICE AND COMFORTABLE ”
I was in palawan a week. I stayed in Fanta Lodge for 3 nights. I regreted that I didn't book a tour to El nido with her. I had a bad experience using other agents. I booked the van to El Nido at 6pm but the van came at 1915 and the boss of fanta lodge gave me an apple for free for dinner as she knew I didn't have dinner and needed to wait for the van to El Nido. After the van left Fanta Lodge, the van tried to attract passengers to make the van full at Puerto Princesa Airport. Finally the van left at 2030 and arrived El Nido in the next day 0215. So please book the tours at Fanta Lodge. The Second things that I came back from El Nido to Puerto Princesa, I stayed Fanta Lodge again, I was ill and I asked the boss where could I buy the medicine, she was so nice to tell me in details,and gave me two Chinese citrus for viramin c supplements. For the quality of fanta lodge, it is very good in this price range, you can have free water, coffee, even in dormitory, you have aircon, Nice s

Stayed at a 4-star hotel...hated it..!! Went back to Fanta Lodge..Loved it!!”
well, 26 Jan 2019, I check out of the Fanta lodge and decided to stay at a 4-star hotel in Puerto Princesa. "Big mistake". I was just another body to them. No one greeted me while I was at the hotel unless I greeted them first. I spent 4000pesos a night at that hotel. The next morning I decided to head back to fanta lodge. Although the fanta lodge doesn't have a pool, gym etc. they did make me feel like i was a valued family member, not just a walking piggy bank. Yep, no more big hotels for me!! I will book the Fanta Lodge if ever i'm in Puerto Princesa again. Thank you Meriam, Joy, and Baby Girl for everything!!!! My Girlfriend told me to tell you all that she likes the atmosphere. peace!!

Good Location, Friendly Staff”
It was my first time to travel in Puerto last november 12,2016 and it was great we book at fanta lodge and we stay for 3 days. we don't expect more because we pay less i want to go back here. The girl staff is friendly we book last minute night for the underground river and we thought we wont make it but the staff find a way so we did. The van pick-up us in the morning and took us to underground river. When we came back from El Nido at night the booking i made in fanta lodge was cancelled and we are worrying where to stay and then the staff emailed me that the booking is cancelled and they are fully book that time. she endorse me to another place just walking distance to fanta lodge and when we came there we have already room. Very accommodating staff!!!!!

Clean and affordable”
Supposed to stay for just one night but due to our underground river tour being cancelled, we needed to stay in the city again for another night. Didn't think twice about going back to this lodging. It's near the airport and restaurants. Our room was surprisingly bigger than what I expected. It has heater for shower, TV, ref and cabinets. Towels and tissues were provided and there's breakfast (50php/meal, which is not bad). The staff was very accommodating especially when we went back to check in for our second night. Only thing I didn't like was the blanket because of the texture but that's just me. Next time I'm in Puerto Princesa, I'll definitely choose this lodging again. Thank you!

See you”
I enjoyed my stay in Fanta Lodge with the very warm welcome of the owner. The place is reachable 10mins from the airport by a tricycle and 20-30mins from San Jose terminal by a jeepney. From the main road, the hostel is walkable for 5 mins or so and is easy to locate. I appreciate its good value for the money. One thing I would suggest is for you to mention in your agoda listing that water usage around Puerto is scheduled (for those with no deep wells) and by that, we sometimes need to fetch our own water for bath. No issues for me coz I have managed it. Futhermore, you may also mention that the AC isnt round the clock. So in my experience, AC starts at 8pm until morning or noon. This isnt an issue for me but you might come across with an irrate guest. Anyways, I am very happy with my stay together with their cute cats and fast internet. I hope to see you again.

Great owner and staff..”
I booked the Fanta lodge because of the price. I'm not a picky person and I didn't expect too much. I arrived at 1400 and no one was at the front desk. Suddenly I heard a voice "HELLO!!" I turned around and I saw a young lady coming towards me. She asked my name, gave me my key, showed me to my room and that was it. The check-in process took less than a minute. Thank You, Miss Joy. The next morning I met the owner Meriam. She made me breakfast. Stir-fried omelet rice and coffee. Later that night, we ate Jolibees together. Wifi was good. no complaints about this place.

I definitely like Fanta Lodge! The service was outstanding and staff were really friendly and nice. ”
The room is worth the price.. Actually it is very affordable and I am quite shock because the room is bigger than expected. Bathroom has hot and cold water which is a big deal to my partner. Thanks to you! The staff were totally reliable, kind and friendly.. The owner and her mother were really great help and so thoughtful that they informed us the time of pick-up for our tours daily. They are very nice and giving. They gave us everything we need and anything we requested. I really would like to extend my gratitude to them.. Your lodge is incomparable! It was a memorable easiest stay.. We will miss palawan and you guys, but no worries.. I believe we will come back soonest. 😉

Will definitely return here”
I loved my stay at Fanta Lodge. It is is not the best accomodation you can have but it serves it purpose well. I loved how it is homey that I quite felt homesick by the time we left on to the next hotel we're to stay for one more night. I'd much prefer staying there over the other hotel because it felt closer to home and you get to interact closely with the staff. They are very much helpful and kind for giving us local insider tips for the cheaper means to get to places, directions to and from places, and they also offered us to share their meals with them which is pretty much one of the best Filipino traits and practices I know. They have pets, too. A few dogs (Hi, Alex!) and some cats and it is relaxing to have them around. The place is pretty basic, typical Filipino-type place. There's a bed, a table, an a fan, with shared bathroom, though the water flow is pretty weak, I didn't mind though because I was able to bathe nicely anyway. This can be addressed properly and hopefully be developed further, I think. It is not the cleanest but I didn't mind because it is not in filth either. Just the average. I'd count on the people using it like myself to clean up after since it is shared The location is close to town proper, just a few minute walk away from the Capitol where you can just hail a multicab or a tricycle to wherever you want to go. It is also close to the aiport and some restaurants like Kinabuch. For 400+ Philippine Peso a night for two people, I'd say this is one of the cheapest place you can get and if you're a no fuss, cowboy type, budget traveler, this is the place you'd want because of the good value for your money. Thank you for your genuine niceness, Ms. Che and Nanay and all the staff. We felt welcomed and we are happy to stay here again in the near future. :)

Convenient, Accomodating, and Homey”
Given that it's a budget lodge, I wasn't expecting much, although my expectations were definitely met, and even went way beyond it! The bookings were full so we were assigned in a different annex, but it's okay since I was able to meet this lovely Persian cat named Scarlett and the other three Chihuahuas! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for convenience (it's near the famous restaurants like Ka Lui and Kinabuch's). The staff were very accommodating too. Downside though is the supply of water, as Palawan is currently suffering from water shortage due to the El Niño, so that isn't really their fault. They addressed this issue though by providing you with buckets of water, and you can just easily request for another one when it runs out. The room's clean and the beds were comfortable, good enough for a night's rest. Initially, we only planned to stay overnight, but we had complications with our lodging in El Nido so we decided to stay for another night. They also provide other services such as tours and van transfers. Overall, our stay here was a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Back Again..!!”
Well, I decided to stay at the fanta lodge for a couple more days. the staff and the owner really made me feel welcome..they are very genuine and I can feel it. The location is abt a 10 mins walk to downtown Puerto Princessa. Its about 10 mins ride to the airport. Its abt 20min walk to SM mall (i walked everywhere). I ordered pizza and ate with the staff.../it is a very good environment. You will like this place.

Excellent”
The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Best breakfast we had in Palawan, even more delicious than those served in the hotel we stayed in prior to transferring to Fanta Lodge. The massage was also superb. Wifi was down during our stay, though. But all in all, I would love to go back.

I was staying at Fanta Lodge for two nights and was so nice. The staff is very nice and helpful, the area is clean, the cats are cute, the location is good (very close to the center, but in the same time quiet). Internet works flawless (Netflix n chill possible :)) ) Thanks :)

The front desk is so friendly that he allows us to checked in around 12 nn with no fee. Rooms are not that big but it's very comfortable. And the price is so so so cheap. If I I'm going to comeback in Puerto Princesa I'll stay ata this hotel again :)

Paying for what it's worth it”
The strength of this place is the lodge manager. She is the mother of the owner who's working in China. The manager constantly greets me 'Good morning' upon waking up. She is also very accommodating to all my needs. I was the only Filipino tenant in an 8-person dormitory type room. I was able to meet fellow travellers from Netherlands, Spain, America, Europe, etc. The room is clean with a functioning AC. The bunk beds are big enough to make you comfortable. Although, the WiFi isn't that stable when you're inside the room. There are clean two (2) bathroom/toilets that are shared. Water interruption is common in Puerto Princesa thus we got affected by it. Nevertheless, the staff did all the water refilling job for all of us. Great!
