Marriott International has raised its profile in the Philippine tourism market anew with the opening of its first Four Points by Sheraton resort in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

The first of its kind in the Philippines, Four Points by Sheraton Palawan Puerto Princesa is located on the breathtaking Sabang Beach, the gateway to the world-famous Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. It has 168 well-appointed rooms, perfect for the “bleisure” crowd mixing business and pleasure on their trip.

“The team and I are excited to welcome guests to the first Marriott International brand in Puerto Princesa, and to this hidden side of Palawan. It’s a pristine paradise, a sprawling 5.3-hectare beachfront property on Sabang Beach, merely 15 minutes by boat from the famous underground river,” says Dietmar Platz, general manager. “When you combine the scenery with Four Points by Sheraton’s service standards, you’re in for a unique, memorable guest experience.”

The resort offers various dining outlets. Evolution all-day dining restaurant and Il Fiore Italian specialty restaurant offer al fresco seating with a sea view, and the pool club located right in the middle of the 1,480-square-meter pool is a unique option.

The beachfront resort allows guests direct access to the natural attractions along the 1.3-kilometer Sabang Beach and features exemplary resort amenities like its showcase swimming pool, heated Jacuzzi, and Kids Club indoor and outdoor playgrounds.

The 24-hour fitness center lets guests get their workouts in while on holiday, and the spa with sauna and steam bath is ready to provide a truly relaxing experience.

Just 90 minutes away from the Puerto Princesa Airport, the resort is close to some of Palawan's best natural attractions, such as the Sabang Mangrove Forest (one kilometer away), Sabang Waterfalls (2.5 kilometers), and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (3.41 kilometer). Other nearby destinations include Ugong Rock Adventures, Honda Bay, Isla Felomina, and the Iwahig Firefly Watching Mangrove and Wildlife Park.

“Four Points Palawan is in the heart of an incredible natural reserve, and it’s the perfect destination for the adventurous soul or families who enjoy exploring off the beaten path. There’s so much to experience, and we want you to be right in the middle of the excitement and beauty of Sabang Beach," says Amie Villena, director of sales and marketing.
