I publish and update this post for Guests visiting Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It’s safe to say that I have tired about every available service here, at one time or another.
And.for the record, I am not in anyway compensated by those I recommend on this Blog Posting. It’s my way of trying to give back to a very nice people and a totally safe city, in the Western Philippines. I hope you are able to add Palawan to your future travel plans.
My goal to help Puerto’s Guests find great services and retailers in Puerto. I have noticed that many of of Foreign Guests sometimes have trouble finding what they want or need. Helpfully. this will help. I will continue updating this post.
Rizal Avenue (Close to the Airport and Golf Course)
Most hotels, restaurants and bars on located on the part of Rizal, on the other side of National Highway, toward the Airport. Most of Puerto’s nightlife is also on Rizal. You can stroll your way from one establishment to another, checking out the various restaurants and local clubs.
However, let’s be practical. You may require a pharmacy. I found a very unique one, that also sells beer and liquor, in addition to snacks, toiletry items, and light groceries? I don’t think I know of another pharmacy offering beer and booze, in Puerto. And, is is open until Midnight.
Rite One Pharma is where you should go, if you are staying in this part of the city. They have about everything you need and even a Patio Area, with tables and chairs for customers, in front on their Pharmacy.
I often see Visitors taking a break in the Patio Area, with a snack and cold beverage,
something other Puerto Pharmacies don’t provide their customers.
This Extra Customer Benefit/Feature is no surprise to me. I know Rite One’s Owners, Vijay and Diane Karnani, who are caring, customer oriented, competent professionals.
Diane has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy, from Santo Tomas University, one of the premier schools in the Philippines. Vijay is a Business Graduate of De La Salle, a very highly regarded university in The Philippines.
I personally enjoy shopping there because Rite One’s staff is very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and after a few visits, they all knew my first name.
You cannot go wrong with this pharmacy, if you are staying in this part of the City.
Rite One is walking distance to most of the hotels in this area. Also, it is open until midnight. It’s a great pit stop on your way back to Hotel, for whatever you need.
Great Fruit Stand with Excellent Filipino Pastries.
Comeback is where you want to go for right off the farm, fresh Palawan fruit. It also has a wonderful selection of Filipino Pastries.
Comeback has a great location, not far from the Provincial Capitol, as you are heading down Rizal toward National Highway. It’s is in front of a travel company called 3 Colors Ticketing.
You really can’t miss it. The owners’ are Danny and Lita, who are wonderful people.
Their prices are very reasonable and the quality very high.
I notice Danny and Lita checking the produce daily, to make sure it’s up to their standards.
Everything is Palawan Farm Fresh.
(I shamelessly horned in the picture here)
Their pasty selection is extensive and to die for!
You can also get fresh green coconuts, for ₱25 or a little more than 50 Cents USD, which they will prepare for you. Pretty good deal, HUH?
And, after you drinking your fresh coconut, then you can eat its very nutritious meat. Natural spoon included.
Did you know that coconut products are very good for you? Here, we use coconut vinegar, which is loaded with vitamins.
Coconut oil also has more health benefits than Olive Oil.
I recommended you add Comeback to your daily routine while in Puerto for a snack or even breakfast.
