Aside from offering guests the best holiday, this resort in Puerto Princesa is also making waves with its environmental sustainability initiatives.
Astoria Hotels and Resorts is a Filipino hospitality brand that has been known for its properties located in the Philippines’ prime tourist destinations, as well as its spacious rooms, pictorial-forward amenities, quality food and beverage offerings, and world-class customer service.
Among its 6 properties, Astoria Palawan in Puerto Princesa is the biggest and one of the most eco-friendly to date. It spans 8 hectares and is built on a mango orchard with a breathtaking view of the Sulu Sea. Offering the perfect blend of business and leisure, Astoria Palawan is the perfect “WorkPlays” in paradise.
Aside from giving its guests the chance to truly connect with nature, Astoria Palawan is also committed to environmental stewardship and minimizing its ecological footprint. It believes in creating a sustainable future for the community and the generations to come. The resort has a long list of ongoing initiatives to promote a greener environment within its operations.
Firstly, its management significantly invested in renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Solar panels have been strategically installed across the resort, including in key areas such as its events place Mangrove Conference and Convention Center By Astoria, its newest 3-storey building The Nest, its dining outlet Aqua Cena, and even its staff house. These solar panels also aid with back-of-the-house functions, as well as with street lighting!
Astoria Palawan also invested in a sewage treatment plan. Treated wastewater is now being utilized for irrigating plants in Palawan Waterpark By Astoria and other designated areas of the resort, significantly reducing freshwater consumption. Furthermore, Astoria Palawan is progressively introducing electric vehicles for internal transportation within the resort, eliminating carbon emissions from its operational vehicles, and implementing a comprehensive waste management program that includes waste segregation, recycling, composting, and proper disposal methods to minimize landfill waste and promote resource recovery.
Lastly, the resort also replaced single-use plastic water bottles with reusable glass bottles in all guest rooms, reducing plastic waste and promoting a more eco-friendly guest experience. The resort also donates used slippers and discarded linens, after thorough sanitation and restoration, to the local community, extending the lifespan of these items and supporting their neighbors.
Astoria Palawan not only promises to protect the environment, but is also committed
to giving its guests the best holiday.
Nestled within the resort is its very own events place, the Mangrove Conference & Convention Center By Astoria. This 439-square meter facility has four sections – the main convention hall and three breakout function rooms called Raffia, Buri, and Dao – to cater to big and small groups alike. Be it a social gathering or a corporate event, this outlet has all the necessities – from food to equipment – to make planning extremely easy.
After work comes play, and this is where the resort’s 1-hectare
Palawan Waterpark By Astoria comes in perfectly. From kids to kids-at-heart, its 6 main attractions—Velocity & Vortex Aqua Slides, Surf’s Up Pool, Tumbling Buckets Zone, St. Paul River Ride, Marine Sanctuary, and Batak Misters – will surely get everyone’s hearts pumping.
In keeping with what Astoria Hotels and Resorts is known for, Astoria Palawan offers 198 spacious rooms and suites that have all the necessities of a second home. In terms of facilities, the resort also has everything you could want and need for the ultimate getaway.
