You’ve got to check out Palawan Swing the next time you plan a trip to Puerto Princesa 🌴
If you want to enjoy a relaxing swim or re-energize with nature's beauty, this is a good place to visit.
To those who are not familiar, Puerto Princesa is a coastal city in the Philippines known for its subterranean river national park and pristine beaches. You can find it in Palawan, the largest province in the country in terms of land area.
Palawan Swing | Puerto Princesa’s Hidden Gem
Palawan Swing is a lovely resort 30-40 minutes away from the city proper. It features large leisure pools, picturesque swings, and a cafe with stunning hill views. They also have accommodation for those who want to stay longer.
Address
Purok Rubber, Barangay Luzviminda, Puerto Princesa, Palawan Philippines
Booking Information | Where to Get your Tickets
You can book your Palawan Swing passes via Klook or KKDay (we got ours through KKDay).
There are different packages to choose from, including ones that already include hotel pick-up and drop-off. I highly suggest you get the one with van transfers as the place is not easily accessible for commuting. It is also better because the van is comfortable and they have a friendly driver, kuya Aris.
The Main Attractions
The infinity pools and the swings are the main attractions in Palawan Swing, but the view is the ultimate treat! Mesmerizing. We got excited upon reaching the main area because it felt like we were closer to the sky (it's on a hilltop). Make sure to bring your journal if you want to do some writing.
I love the majestic views. It almost looked like a painting, except that it was real. You can also catch some eagles flying freely in the sky (what a sight). I am so thankful we got to relax before flying back to Manila.
There are three swimming pools with different depths overlooking the lush green jungle. The one at the highest point is 5 feet deep, while the one at the lower part is 4 feet. These are the ones for adults.
If you have kids with you, they can go in the middle pool, which is only 2 feet low.
We stayed at the lower pool and admired the trees for the most part. We were happy to be there. It was good to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and recharge. Just being in the presence of nature is naturally calming.
Jungle Swing, Stairway to Heaven, Love Nest, Angel Wings, and Floral Frames
Now, for the exciting part, here's the jungle swing! You have to try it when you visit! No worries because the staff members will be there to assist you, and there is also a safety harness in case you lose balance (which is unlikely, especially if you lean back).
Of course, there are also other spots where you can take photos, such as the cute nest, the stairway to heaven, and the floral frames. Even with our basic phones, I think our photos turned out well. It helped that the sun was at its peak. Thanks to Kuya Angelo for taking our pictures. He was so helpful. I appreciate it a lot.
Here are some photos from my camera roll (by that, I mean welcome to my photo album, lol).
You can go on the swings as many times as you want, but we only tried everything once as it was hot. The pool was the best place to be in because it was cool (and not uncomfortably cold).

Dresses for Rent
Dresses are available for rent if you want to change into something more beautiful for the photos. They had sequined and formal dresses, but the Blue one caught my eye. It is the same color as my birthstone.
Hanboks are also available (the owners are Korean).
Food & Drinks
We decided to get brunch at the resort since we were picked up early and didn’t have time to cook in the morning. It was a good decision because our orders were delicious and satisfying. The serving was also generous.
They had a small wooden counter table with swinging seats facing the scenery; this is where we had brunch.
I tried the Chicken Teriyaki with Rice, while my husband ordered Chicken Curry. Our meals were delicious. I recommend the Teriyaki because their version is better than most versions we have tried.
Overall, I’d give our experience a rating of 10/10. We would have stayed longer if we didn't have to leave so early in the morning.
What to Bring
Don’t forget to bring the following:
Towel, swimsuit, slippers, extra clothes, body towel, sunnies, toiletries, and sunscreen.
That would be all for today. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
