The three-pearl Floral Villarosa Pool is a low-key, six-room property a two-minute drive from the airport via a free shuttle. Most of the modestly decorated rooms surround an attractive outdoor pool and some have balconies and lovely pebble-accented bathrooms. While the pool waterfall offers relaxing ambient noise, the roosters crowing in the morning can be bothersome. Simple Filipino fare is served in an island-style restaurant with an outdoor dining terrace for all three meals. The 24-hour front desk can arrange Underground River tours and firefly or dolphin excursions. This is a solid affordable choice in Puerto Princesa for travelers who want to be near the airport, but it's worth comparing rates at the charming Hibiscus Garden Inn -- though it lacks a pool.

The 14-room Hibiscus Garden Hotel is a budget hotel in the center of Puerto Princesa, featuring lush gardens with carved wooden furniture and artwork at every turn. Traditional Filipino designs -- woven mats on ceilings and colorful artwork -- give rooms a welcoming vibe, though the tube TVs and bright yellow walls make them feel dated. Some rooms also have charming private gardens with hammocks. The hotel is a five-minute drive to the airport via a free shuttle service and there's an on-site restaurant with a wood-fire pizza oven and a bar. Guests wanting to stay at a property near the airport and with a pool may want to consider the three-pearl Floral Villarosa Pool.

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Puerto Princesa is a mid-range beachfront property with 50 bright rooms and suites, many with beachfront patios or balconies. A lagoon pool sits on the beachfront and the concierge can help guests book kayak rentals and horseback riding trips through the mangroves. Breakfast is included in room rates and served in an airy restaurant with poolside dining. The hotel is located 15 minutes from city center, but there’s free shuttle service (though advanced booking is required). It may be worth comparing rates and amenities at the Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort, which has more upscale rooms.
