Hi Mel! This doesn't exactly have a street address, but there's tons of info on it on the nethttp://www.palawan.com/resort_details.php?resort_id=18 or just do a search for Dos Palmas.

It is not the nicest place I've seen in Palawan by far. And I don't know if I would go out of my way to recommend it to you for your tenth year anniversary. Asides from the fact that this exact shot was where the Abu Sayaff kidnapped all those foreigners in 2001, I believe you could do better in a place like club Noah.

The island is small and beautiful but most of it is mangroves, accessible only by Kayak. The beach was not as kid friendly as most of the other resorts I've been too. Accomodations are also very dated. The staff were friendly, but I was left a little disappointed...

James, you legend. These pics are simply stunning. Please let me know the exact address so I can book us in for our next holiday, maybe even our 10th anniversary. A few pics says it all! Thanks, now you can claim to be a Tour Guide and Travel Agent. Hope I can afford your fees. And I hope the grub is as good as the digs.
