When I booked this hotel, it was by sheer luck that I found it on the map within the Marriott app. I didn't want to go back to Boracay or Cebu but if I did not have any other choice, I would have gone back to either of those two places. Interesting enough, another Four Points also opened up in Boracay but it was not directly on the beach which cemented my decision to fly to Palawan. Some of you might say “Well why didnt you go to El Nido?” or not, I dont know, I can't read your minds. Well, the short answer is that I did not know there were direct flights to El Nido at the time and secondly, no Marriott.

After a 90 minute drive through the countryside, we reached the resort which is north(ish) of the town of Puerto Princesa and located on Sabang beach.



Past the security and it was a short distance to the main entrance.



The lobby



I was welcomed by the staff and proceeded with the check in formalities. Upon looking at my passport, the staff member said “Ah Mr. Jason, we have been expecting you” - you all fully know its going to be one of those memorable stays. I was provided with a cold towel and cold drink.

I dont know what this was but it was damn refreshing.



Another agent came out to welcome me and then the assistant GM came out to say hello. Once the formalities were done, I was escorted to my room by the assistant GM who gave me an overview of the facilities.

I was upgraded to a one bedroom suite which is the highest category at the resort and there are only 3 categories in total. My room was right next to the main restaurant and beach, so it was a short walk every day.

Got some dinner and then turned in for the evening



The next morning, I walked around the resort to explore. FP Sheraton took over a local resort and opened up in 2023.

When walking out my room, the path led to the beach and the restaurant (left)



The restaurant was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is an Italian restaurant on the other side but was closed for renovations. The room service menu is exactly the same as the restaurant menu but on some nights, there were specials offered for sit down dinner.
The breakfast spread was ok - nothing compared to Westin or JWM’s but still more than enough for me. The only complaint from me is that the hot dishes were not hot enough - for that matter, it was not even luke warm. I stuck to the eggs station for fresh made dishes for my stay.
