abundant with Palawan's famed marine life, and well-trained
staff of activity coordinators will assist those in pursuit

Dos Palmas is found on Arreceffi
Island which is nestled in the tropical waters of Honda Bay,
northeast of Palawan's Puerto Princesa. It's a serene world unto itself, an island retreat far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The climate is relatively dry from November to May and wet from June to October. Hardly any typhoon directly hits the area. The northeast monsoon winds or amihan starts in October and lasts until April while the southwest monsoon winds or habagat blows from April to August.
How to get to Dos Palmas Arreceffi Island Resort
Puerto Princesa is a quick 1-hour and 15-minute flight from Manila, the nation’s capital. From there, it is only 25 minutes to Sta. Lourdes Wharf where a private Dos Palmas Arreceffi outrigger boat awaits. Then it's an exhilarating 55-minute ride through the blue waters of Honda Bay to Arreceffi Island.
Air Philippines, Philippine Airlines, and Cebu Pacific offer direct flights from Manila to Puerto Princesa City and vice-versa daily.
We have 10 Bay Cottages (which can sleep up to two adults
and one child), and 38 Garden Cottages (up to five
adults), four of which are accessible/handicap rooms. Furnished with comfort in mind, all cottages have

facilities, hot and cold running water, a mini-bar, and an intercom
