The resort was not close to food options or exploring the city. Sometimes there was a trike available otherwise you would have to walk. That was the only downside, otherwise the resort was beautiful, staff were very friendly, and we had a great stay

Overall the hotel is nice but not a 4 star accommodation. Needs lots of maintenance. Work was ongoing. Hopefully when finished the resort will be modern and nicer. Paid $5 per night for an extra blanket in our room for our son. Very excessive. Limited dinning options and selection for international travelers. Pool area was nice, sandbar area not so much. Courteous staff overall. Hot water was inoperative for 2 nights of our 4 night stay. If we travel to Palawan again we will try another area. Puerto Princessa is not a travel destination for beach or relaxation.

I particularly liked the Crepe lady, her service, she pays attentions to details of crepe, she makes. The breakfast and the way access to the pool from rooms was the highlights. I would definitely recommend others to this property. Just like my friend recommended me.

We got the double pool room and so glad we did! We loved having a private pool entrance and being on the ground floor right next to the restaurant. The resort itself is about 10 minutes drive from the main part of town but it was easy to grab a tuk tuk from the front gate any time we wanted to go in to town. Having the resort out of the town gave way for a super peaceful and quiet getaway and the whole place is so beautiful. Staff is polite and helpful and we will definitely be back!

A great stay! The pool access room was very nice and worth the price. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained.
Dining options were limited , and while the food was good, it was quite pricey.
Complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport was a plus.

The swimming pools where very spacious and the rest of the compound was nicely laid out. The new addition isn't totally ready -- so looking forward to coming back in a couple of years to the gym and other new features.

Princesa Garden is amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There was construction during our stay but it didn't really bother us since we were out and about during the loud part of the construction. The area is secluded which means you will need a vehicle to get town and back. Front desk is very helpful with getting us a taxi to take us to the shopping center.

They advertised a private beach that wasn’t available at the time we stayed. The patio chaise didn’t look clean. The AC unit had dust build up on the vent area and it looked like there may have been water damage in different spots on the ceiling. We checked out the next morning.

Overall, ok. A positive is that they’re almost complete with a new spa and have a new fitness center! Room is ok, nothing to rave about.
I Wasn’t wild about a “mandatory” Christmas Eve buffet and we felt it should be optional!
