OUTDOOR POOL

The Philippines is warm all year round, so there’s never a bad time to take a swim in our pool! Enjoy Filipino snacks, water, soda and beer and liquor available for purchase at our pool concession stand. Our pool is surrounded by our seasonal flowers, with umbrella-covered seating, a shallow child-friendly section, and deeper section for swimming (5.5 feet/1.68 meters).

INCLUDED BREAKFASTS

Start your day off right with our delicious, home-cooked breakfasts, including fresh fruit from our garden! We offer a variety of traditional Filipino-style, American and continental breakfast options. We are more than happy to accomodate any dietary or allergy restrictions for our guests.

TOUR & TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS

We offer included transportation to and from the Puerto Princesa airport (about 1.2 km/.75 miles away) for all guests. Our staff is also happy to assist guests with finding and booking tours that include hotel pick up, including the popular Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour, Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour, tours to El Nido, and more. 

Need help deciding where to eat, finding family-friendly activities, or exploring Puerto Princesa? We’re happy to help with that too!

PARTY HOSTING

Michelle Pension can host your party in Puerto Princesa in a number of ways. Our large garden with a swimming pool makes it a great place to relax and cool off after a day of exploring. There is also a barbecue area where guests can cook their own meals or host a Filipino boodle fight (a traditional Filipino feast and way of eating).

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Any submissions on our website will only be received by our company. We do not share or sell any data from submissions.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Contact enquiries and guest chat replies may be screened by built-in form-trap, repeated-message and blocked-email checks. Suspicious conversations are retained in a spam inbox for staff review. These checks do not send your messages to an external spam-detection or AI provider.

Visitor country analytics

We use a browser cookie to measure visits by guests and signed-in clients. Our visitor analytics stores a hashed browser identifier, IP address, approximate country, visited page paths, and visit dates and times. While you are signed in, it also records your account ID and name with your visits. This helps authorized administrators understand website use and investigate service issues. The administrator visitor report displays this activity; it is not publicly accessible.

Page tracking excludes URL query parameters, passwords, payment details, message contents, sign-in pages, and staff browsing. Country is estimated locally on our server; we do not send visitor IP addresses to an external geolocation service or request GPS access. These analytics are stored in our own database, not a third-party analytics platform. Clearing cookies can cause the same browser to be counted again. Contact us through Support or the Contact page with questions or requests about your personal data.
