Thanks a lot again.

We stayed at Niko's Cabanas for 3 days and 2 nights at a very low price. We really loved the place! The people were very nice and hospitable
especially Kuya Efren, Tricia and Carlene. Great food and delightful ambiance. We will definitely go back to explore more of Palawan and to
have more time staying in Niko's. Two thumbs up for you guys! Thanks a lot! See you again next time! Maybe next week?

"A couple of months ago, I went to Puerto Princesa, Palawan for a weekend getaway. It took me 3 months to prepare for trip, putting so much
time in finding the right place to stay. I needed a place with good service, good facilities, and very reasonable prices. I canvassed so many inns,
hotels, pension houses, and I even had an Excel file to do comparative analyses. But in all my searches, through different travel websites, I
noticed one place that always had so much good feedback from its previous guests.. Nikos Cabanas. The price was more than reasonable at
1,800 a night which included daily breakfast and airport transfer. But I was really curious about the "excellent service" that all these people were
raving about. My curiosity was satisfied immediately, even before arriving to the hotel. From the airport, the driver was picking up not only us,
but also the hotel manager, Mr. Efren De Dios. On the way to the hotel, he asked us what sites we would like to see, and if we are interested in
any tours. He informed us that the Island Hopping Tour had already left, but then he graciously offered to have the driver bring us to the port
for island hopping, and assist us with getting a boat. This was much cheaper if we had gone on the tour, and we ended up having a boat all to
ourselves. The next day, they arranged us to be included in the Underground River Tour. This is one of the highlights of the trip. Definitely,
worth it the money hehe. The rest of our stay in Nikos Cabanas was much the same as the first day. For dinner, they made reservations for us in
the restaurants of our choice like Ka Lui's. Their driver, Francis aka Buddy, brought us to the places we wanted to go and picked us up right
after, with just one text message. That's what I call customer service! The place itself is new, barely a year old, so it's very clean. There were only
around 10 rooms so it's very cozy and quaint. But, the part that really made the place stand out for me is their service. They freely catered to any
of our needs and wants. There were no hidden charges, and the staff were always polite and accommodating. I would recommend this place to
anyone. - Here is the actual site. http://kathpuj.multiply.com/reviews/item/1
This is actually tmy 2nd trip to Palawan, my first trip was ok... b cuz of the tour, but the hotel almost ruined it... ok, on my 2nd trip to Palawan
, I was with my bf and his friends from Miami. We stayed at Niko's and all i can say is "EXCELLENT" SUPERB" ... the rooms were big, the
restaurant, great food! and the service ... great!!! Good for people who seeks relaxation... we had a city tour on the first day and underground
river tour on the 2nd day... for P7800/person for a 3days 2 nights vacation, breakfast included, airfare and tours...its all worth it.

We stayed at Niko's last Feb. 13 to 17, 2008. They've provided our tour package and accomodations...Excellently! Since I'm travelling with my
kid, i would really need an understanding and flexible hotel management and a hassle-free vacation. Niko's Have It All! Elaine, the Marketing
Director/ Hotel Mgr is the Best! They've set up also a surprise party for all the guests last Valentines day. It was so romantic, with candlelit
dinner, flowers for the ladies and a singer performer around. Buddy, a staff of Niko's, guided us patiently to and from our restaurant hopping
during dinners in the city. A blooper - as we were checking in at the airport, found that i lost our ticket going back to Manila, worst was airline
network system bugged down at the same time...whew! thanks again to Ms. Elaine for keeping our flight details which saved us from any
hassles. Thanks also to Efren for the nice picture-taking =) “My family and I were Extremely Delighted with our vacation in Puerto Princesa –
with the Breathtaking scenery…Outstanding accommodation at Niko’s Cabanas and Sterling hospitality of the people of Palawan! Hooray!
- Coochi of Manila at tripadvisor.com
Nikos is great! Special thanks to Ms. Elaine, Mr. Efren and all the staff who made our trip well organized and worry free.(Imagine for only 3d/2n,
we were able to do a lot of activities at Puerto Princesa) Nikos service is very personalized and highly commendable, we surely can't ask for
more.

- Mike of Naga City at tripadvisor.com
i went there last year with my bf and my friend and we just only stay 2 days..because my bf wanted to see the underground river....
it is only 2 days but i want to stay more..because sooo relaxing place and this year i have plan again to go Palawan so i going to stay there
again....and i have their number.
- Shai of Cavite at tripadvisor.com
we really enjoyed our recent stay at niko's. The place is very clean and quiet. The rooms are clean and the surrounding lawn and pathways are
well-kept. The management makes every effort to make your stay enjoyable and the staff are super-helpful. It's a distance from the city center
but that's fine if you want peace and quiet. Besides, they can arrange to drive you to the city and back. They have a small resto but maybe it
needs a bit of improvement in terms of speed of service and taste. But if you're not too picky then it should be okay.

We booked their honeymoon package and we got what we asked for and even more! Although it is located outside the city, it was exactly what
we were looking for. The rooms were clean and lovely, the food was excellent, the cabanas were beautiful, and most of all, the service was just
perfect! Nothing but smiles all day and a really friendly staff. The personal touch really made our stay truly hassle free. From the welcome lunch
to the farewell dinner, our honeymoon was just perfect and truly memorable. Our thanks to Tricia, Bernadette, Rachel, Carlyn and Francis, who
drives the guests into the city day or night, which is a service the hotel offers for free to it's in house guests. Overall, we highly recommend
Niko's to everyone who wants to experience the beauty of Puerto Princesa, and have a place to spend the night with the comfort of a 5 star
hotel sans the high cost. By the way, since Niko's is just 15 minutes away from Honda bay pier, the tour agencies pick you up last for the Honda
Bay tour and you get dropped off first on the way home. Same goes for the Underground Cave tour and Dos Palmas day tour.. Just perfect!

Hotel is a bit out of town but don't be put off. Lovely location, quiet and peaceful away from the bustle of PP. Owners very willing to book
restaurants and run people into the centre then fairly easy to get a tricycle back. Good pool and a few shops nearby selling essentials.
- PJW82 of Oxford at tripadvisor.com
We have just been back from our Puerto Princesa family holiday. And I can say that Niko's is just the perfect place to stay with all the kids with
us. Imagine our group consisting of 17 pax! Niko's offered us a place to unwind after a long day's tour of the Honda Bay and Underground River
tours. And it allowed the kids to continue their playing around the resort with its inviting swimming pool and serene surroundings. Our host
even offered to drive us to the new public market for our pasalubong shopping! The staff was also helpful and even accompanied us to the old
market to buy some seafoods that we requested the resort to cook for a minimal service fee. I'd say that I won't hesitate to book at Niko's again
if I go back to Puerto Princesa.
