Our 10th year! Sheridan Beach Resort, Palawan (Part1) [T]

Our contribution to the recent Philippine tourism marketing campaign


10 blissful years of marriage saw us at Sheridan Beach Resort, Sabang, Palawan.  Anne got a great promo rate from Deal Grocer in the nick of time and we flew to this paradise a few days after our anniversary to escape the busyness of life. 


Sabang is the gateway to the famous Puerto Princesa Underground River. Some tourists who'd wish to visit the famed landmark would book in Puerto Princesa then take a day trip to Sabang port then ferry off to the river for the adventure, then take the same long journey back. But it's a good thing Anne found a great resort in Sabang itself so we just walked to the port on day-two! We didn't even know there was a texting contest about the Underground River which ended days after we left, so we hopefully we contributed to us winning the slot as one of the next world wonders! Go Philippines! 


Sheridan was one of our best resorts ever! Modern & fully packed with great amenities, scenic spots, modern architecture, and a large pool right smack in the middle of the resort!  Spa, pools, bars, gym, FREE WIFI, etc!  The pool is a stone's throw away from the beach, thus adding to the awesomeness of our choice. It's like a large boutique hotel.  


Journey with us as we relive our adventure through the picture collection below... 

Touchdown, Puerto Princesa!

First stop: Lunch at Ugong Rock while waiting for the shuttle to take us from Puerto Princesa to Sabang

Fruit Shakes are a must in tropical islands

Yummy Grilled Shrimp! Loved the sauce

Yummy Baked Scallops!

Kisses-shaped Garlic Rice

A great start to a great vacay... FOOD!

Since we still had a long wait til the shuttle leaves, I succumbed to my husband duties and ALLOWED Anne to go shopping!  Tsk tsk tsk, the things we do... :)

Cashew Nuts are Palawan's staple crop

A different kind of Crocs

They call this large tricycle a "Taxi-cle!" Coolness!

After 1.5hours of riding in the comfy shuttle, Touchdown in Paradise!
