We wanted to book a hostel/inn because who wants to stay in a typical hotel when you're in Palawan? My top considerations when choosing a place to stay are as follows: the room should have a veranda for drinking and smoking (so that when the kid's asleep we can have our date), it should be close to the heart of the city, it should be squeaky clean, it should serve good food. And voila! Casa Linda has it all plus really friendly staff that would greet you with warm smiles no matter what time of the day.
The casa only has very few rooms (I think fifteen?) and some would stay there for weeks and months, mostly foreigners doing projects/ missions. It's just a 10-minute ride from the airport and it's just a few steps away (no exaggeration here. It really is just steps away) from the best restaurants of Puerto Princesa like Kinabuch's and Ka Lui.

On our second night, we wanted to have our date so we bought beer at the nearby convenience store (again, just a few steps away), and put the cans in the communal fridge. We waited and waited for Sput to sleep but she seemed to be enjoying the place so much she can't sleep. She told me " Mommy, I'm alright. You have a date with Daddy". I was so touched by her sweetness. So Hugo and I had our date at the gazebo (no one else was there, it's so silent at night) while we continue to check on her until finally, she joined us. Well...that's life...with a kid.

Lovin' the sawali walls plus the cozy lamp and good airconditioning. Perfect combo for snuggling.
