What an incredible stay! We absolutely loved EVERYTHING about Zuri. Starting from the staff - everybody was super nice, helpful and smiley. They even had a thermometer for us to buy when we needed one! The transport was waiting for us at the airport (paid 300php/person one way). The room and bathroom was really spacious and spotless. There’s plenty of space for the clothes and stuff in the bathroom. The room also has a fridge, kettle with coffee/tea choices as well as bathroom alimentaries. The resort area is amazing. The resort is places by the hill a bit away from the town, facing the sea and Coron island. It has 3 pools + 1 kiddie pool, a pool bar, cafe, restaurant, shop, ATM and more. It’s surrounded by greens. You can truly rest there. The breakfasts there were exceptional! Lots of choice, different food both western and Asian. There was also barbecue in the evenings, very tasty as well. We loved it!
The only minor downsides:
- you can’t really control the AC, there’s no remote, you can have it set to fan or cool and set the power 1-10
- there is no reception in the room
- there are not many power outlets in the room
We had a pleasant stay in this hostel. The bathroom is nice with warm and cold shower. They had free drinking water from a dispenser located outside the rooms but within the vicinity. The ambience is wonderful with a touch of nature such as plants and small pond with some fiahes. It's affordable and we will come back to this hostel in the future.
Hotel was nice, the staff were very friendly and helpful, but a few portions of the resort are under renovation. The main pool needs repair. Other than that, we had a very good experience.
An absolute paradise for families!
We had an amazing stay at Astoria Palawan.
The highlight for the kids (and adults!) was definitely the Palawan Waterpark, which kept everyone entertained for hours. The resort grounds are beautifully maintained, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the beach view is stunning. Special shoutout to the staff who were incredibly accommodating and always greeted us with warm smiles. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Puerto Princesa!
Take a one-hour speedboat ride from Batangas Port to Friday Resort in Puerto Galera. A paradise, the room facilities and service quality are first-rate, and the quality of the hotel's food needs to be further improved. It is a holy place for vacationing with children and family. Why do Chinese people rarely go to this island for vacation? It is considered a virgin island.
This is one of the better hotel in El Nido. The front desk is so attentive and very , very friendly. The pool was under construction but they arranged for us to go swim on Miniloc island which was stunning. The breakfast staff was just as friendly and the food was just absolutely stunning. We will definitely going back to this island as it’s close to restaurants and has a swimmable beach. I would, however, recommend to go into El Nido town to book snorkeling and island hopping tours. It’s was such a great experience. I strongly recommend this place
I have picked resort for its location and for experience to stay at the beach hut. And it was truly amazing time chilling on your veranda’s comfy chair surrounded by palm trees and the sound of crashing waves.
As for the overall experience, the resort is definitely not a 5* star resort. Amenities are pretty basic, over-washed beach towels, cheap cutlery, unexciting breakfast, the core infrastructure a bit rundown down, food is average and overpriced. Staff is friendly and ready to attend to every need of yours, but are the some time not there when you need them.
Had stayed at lagoon hut #14 and had a constant traffic of passing stuff or guests. So not so much privacy as you would think.
Caution. Only lagoon huts facing the beach (first row) get to use the beach sun loungers. The rest of the guests need ti use swimming pool lounges.
Definitely is not a 5 star hotel because the management.
The Hotel is new , good view don’t have access to the beach, location is good if you are searching for quiet place, the food is correct and the staff is nice and polite but they are really very bad organize and managed, when any of them take a brake none cover their position and the pool bar was absolutely alone during whole day and each time you need something have to go the restaurant for call them, we and more guest complained about but nothing happened. I tried to talk with the manager and explaintye situation but refuse talk with us.
Beautiful place with a clean beach and christal clear water, a good service and average food quality. Difficult to reach, but any transfer is perfectly organized by Hotel management.
As nice as the location is and understanding that they need to have a own power and water plant, complex logistics, it is in my personal opinion heavily overpriced. Breakfast and food quality in general is nothing special, but priced as 5 Star resort in the Maldives, where you are pampered like a king/queen.
A boats trip for 500€ with a ham and cheese toast and on a wooden junk cutter is just not worth, as nice as all staff is.
I enjoyed the time, but would not repeat it. There are much better value for money offers in this luxury category.
The hotel is beautiful and one of the few on the island with a stunning sunset view, which really makes the stay memorable.
That said, the location can be quite limiting. The only nearby destination is the island directly across from the hotel; for most other attractions, you’ll need to travel via Coron town. In our case, getting to the town and the airport took about two hours each way, which was quite exhausting.
There’s also no Grab or easy transport options on the island, so you have to rely on the hotel to arrange transfers. Unfortunately, this wasn’t always efficient, we noticed that different guests were sent to the airport at the same time in separate vans, instead of being grouped together, which could have helped reduce costs specially now that there will be fuel shortages in the Philippines.
Overall, it’s a great place if you plan to stay within the resort or visit the nearest island, but less convenient if you want to explore more of Coron.
Very Good

GGuest UserThis resort is best resort where I have ever been to.
Staffs were really nice and kind every time.
They helped us to make good memories.
Complementary activities were good.
We really recommend island hopping.
This resort is rich in nature beauty.
I will absolutely come back in near future.

KKaliannaThe resort was on an isolated island. Took 20-min car ride from the airport and 45-min boat ride from the port to the island. Our room was supposed to be ocean view, just right behind the sunrise villas. Unfortunately, the trees have grown high & hardly can we see the ocean. So best to go to the beach and enjoy the sceneries there. Not worth paying extra, unless it's sunset villa. Breakfast was acceptable, but in-room dining service need improvement. Especially, the cleaning up part. The swimming pool is under maintenance and I thought seafood & sashimi would be good, but nope, which is a bit extra disappointing. However, the general experience was good since the staffs are very nice and polite. We received different types of local snacks daily and turned out the kitchen made Filipinos food better than international ones. For morning hiking to Eagle Point, it's not really worth it, unless you have a drone to have 360-degree view. Intended to rate 3.8/5, but I got to see the sea turtle so 4/5 ~
MMokamiaomiaoIf you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and find a paradise, this is the best choice  The whole butler service, any request will be answered in seconds. The hotel is very new and the facilities are very good. There are many lounges where you can relax and play mahjong in the lounge, and it is a high-end electronic mahjong table. Superb haha
Facilities: new very beautiful room hidden in the jungle, quiet
Hygiene: clean
Environment: I like it very much. Tropical jungle. High-end hotel. Walking on the small road. Relax.
Service: Very satisfied, responsive, second reply
1 bottle of free wine: In the room received, thank you very much
Free round-trip airport transfer: Very close to the airport
