Where to Stay in White Beach, Puerto Galera


When we went to White Beach, Puerto Galera last weekend, (April 12-13, 2013), we decided to take a risk by not booking a room online. Rooms we found online rated from 3500 – 4800 pesos for 6 persons and would not fit our budget allocation of 500 pesos per person at the most per person.

When we reached the white beach shore, we were already approached by people offering us accommodations. We immediately told us our budget was 2000 pesos only. ;-). One woman told us that we would get a room that was 3-5 minute walk from the shore for that amout. She took us to two locations, first was an alley a little far from the shore, the air-conditioned room has 2 beds, for 2500 pesos

Mama Ching Lodge, located in a small alley about 3 minutes away from the shore, 2500 pesos for 6 persons
The second location was almost on beach front; room was a bit smaller than the previous one but also had 2 queen size bed and a bathroom. We took the second one primarily because it was beach front, even if it is more expensive. It was beside Mindorinne Oriental Beach Resort

not sure if this was working

Things I did not like about our room:
1.        Aircon was kind of faulty
2.        Few outlets. Only three, so there was a shortage when it came to charging our gadgets
3.        The CR was not that pleasant, plus there was a screened window with no cover/curtain, enough to freak us out.
4.        Nevertheless, the room was okay for us considering it was on beach front and we got it for a bit lower price.


Our room included: 2 queen size bed, extra mattress, TV, 1 bathroom with hot shower, and electric fan to compensate for the not-so-cold Aircon.

When you plan to go to Puerto Galera, it’s your choice if you want to do the reservation online or just do walk-in. You can still find rooms much more affordable even if its peak season, except Holy Week I think. I took some pictures of available rooms posted at the time we were there.

  6. Basically its about experiencing the right thing and throughout when we go according to that we can get to have ideas and for me 2 day tour from new york to niagara falls is quite helpful which is the way for it big time.

  8. This pandemic is giving me a lot of stress. I was able to find a great place to relax with beach, sand and good foods with the help of The Select App. I always use this app because of the deals and cheap beach and hotel pass they have.
