Balay Tuko is a boutique hotel built in a residential area and accredited by the Ministry of Tourism. We have the largest indoor swimming pool in the city (open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and a lovely tropical garden with lots of flowers and old trees to attract birds and butterflies. Our location is close to Robinson's Place Shopping Mall, Truecare Dialysis Center, Land Transportation Office, Immigration Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office, CHIEF Private Motor Vehicle Inspection and Public Market from San Jose. Puerto Princesa International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away by car. Meals and drinks are served in our cafeteria facing the main garden. Before going to sleep it is best to order your breakfast and if you plan to have dinner here please let us know and choose your meal before you leave. For proper waste disposal, if you order drinks and fast food outside, we charge a corkage fee of 50php per meal and 20php per bottle. You can contact us by email if you would like us to organize day trips. It is highly recommended to book the tours with us because sometimes the pick-up time is around 06:30, so we need to wake you up on time and prepare your breakfast. As one of the few hotels located just outside the city, close to the North Highway, our position is ideal as you are the last passengers picked up by the tour operator and the first to be dropped off . The last renovation of the building dates back to 2019!

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.0 for a two-person trip.
