Hi I’m Young from Korea. I stayed at the hotel from last Sunday to Monday to travel to Palawan. Unfortunately I stayed for a short time at the hotel because I already made reservations at the resort next to the beach.
But I truly recommend this hotel because It’s clean and cozy offering reasonable prices. And it’s much well located. It’s located next to Robinson place, so I could buy some groceries to eat while I’m in Palawan. When I come back here, I will stay in the Hue Hotel again and I hope I enjoy the city of Puerto Princesa.
In fact, the most important factor which I want to come back here again is your talented staff, “Vanessa”. I want to recommend her wholeheartedly. She was so kind and helpful to guest, especially someone not accustomed to speaking English like me. She gave me a good impression on my memories about Palawan. I could have spent a good time in Palawan because of her.
Thank you for everything. See you again.
Honestly, we had the best time at Funny Lion Resort! From the start, everything felt top-notch. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, always ready to help and just really made us feel welcome.
There were so many complimentary perks too, which was such a nice surprise. It felt like they really went above and beyond to make the stay special.
What I loved the most is that the resort pretty much has everything you need—you seriously don’t have to leave. There are activities, great restaurants, a cozy coffee bar, and more all right there. We didn’t even feel the need to go out and explore because everything we wanted was already in the resort.
The whole place has a super relaxing vibe, perfect for just chilling and enjoying the moment. It was such a good escape from the usual busy life.
Would 100% go back—and probably will, again and again. Can’t recommend it enough!
Booked 3 rooms for 7 PAX. Front desk is generous enough to upgrade our room with this fantastic view. The hotel have everything you need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this hotel for groups or families. It’s only just 30 to 45 mins away from the airport.
The hotel itself was lovely and the food was good. However, we found the roosters next to the hotel to be very inappropriate and disturbing. We could not sleep properly because they are noisy all through the night. There is no way to block the noise out.
We were able to switch rooms, which helped, but if the hotel is running at full occupancy it will be a problem. About 24 rooms are affected by the noise the roosters make. It is a pity that roosters on a plot next to the hotel causes plenty of discomfort for guests. If I was the owner of this hotel, I would certainly do something about the roosters.
I stayed at Summer Homes Beach Front in Port Barton and it was such a relaxing spot. The location is perfect—right on the beach, so you can literally step out of your room and enjoy the sand and sea. The view of the sunset from the shore is beautiful and one of the highlights of my stay.
The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, with everything you need for a laid-back beach trip. It’s not a luxury resort, but that’s part of its charm—it has that quiet, provincial vibe that makes Port Barton special.
The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with little requests. They also helped arrange boat tours and transfers, which made things a lot easier. There’s also a small restaurant on site where you can order meals or grab a drink while enjoying the beachfront view
We had an amazing stay at Charlie’s. The staff were lovely, always saying hello and happy to help with anything. We booked a room with pool access, it was spacious and also had a big bathroom. The bar and restaurant both had a great selection and the welcome drink upon arrival was a lovely touch! One of the best features of this hotel is its proximity to Lio Beach, only a 5 minute ride away, where there are an array of bars and restaurants and a beautiful sunset every night. My partner is dairy and gluten intolerant and there were plenty of options for her there which was pretty rare in general for the Philippines.
Would recommend this hotel to anyone, it was well worth the money.
Costa Palawan’s accommodation was excellent. They have the best customer service ever and free airport transfer aside from their beautiful and clean hotel, they have pool and restaurant and bar. Highly recommended for a wonderful and affordable stay in Puerto Princesa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can’t go wrong if you’ll chose Costa Palawan.
Had a great experience in Astoria. Was welcomed by their friendly and helpful staff. Everyone greets you with a smile and everyone is willing to help may it be with queries or directions and even with taking your great photos in the resort. The rooms were clean, and homey. Rooms are equipped with microwaves and table wares for when you order room service. The resort has great amenities and you will not get bored with activities you can do during your stay. Their breakfast buffet is something we look forward to every morning. They serve delicious and freshly cooked food. They have fast and reliable WiFi for those who work on the go. It was a stay I would remember and recommend all the time.
Casalay Resort truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the amazing staff who made us feel like family. Everyone was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — we especially loved catching up with them after our daily activities. It’s those small, personal touches that made our stay so special and unforgettable.
The resort itself is a peaceful and beautiful escape — the villas are charming and surrounded by nature. Breakfast was always delicious and filling, the perfect way to start each day.
We do have a few small suggestions that might make future stays even better:
1. Blackout curtains on the villa verandas for those who like to sleep in.
2. Clothing hooks in the shower or changing rooms would be super convenient.
3. It would be great to have an option for two queen beds in rooms, especially for friends traveling together.
4. And if all villas are fully booked, we think it would be such a lovely idea for the resort to organize a long dinner or a small evening activity for all guests to connect and enjoy the evening together under the stars.
Overall, we had an amazing experience and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you again to the entire Casalay team for making our stay so warm, relaxing, and memorable. We’ll definitely be recommending your resort to our family and friends — 100% love and appreciation from us to all of you!

GGuest UserMantiloc resort is a paradise. If you are looking for a relaxing time in a unique spot this place is for you. The staff are so kind and helpful, they make it an amazing stay. The half day boat trip is also well worth it and one of the best parts of our trip.
The menu could do with being expanded, with more vegetarian and vegan options. Also a barista coffee option would make it perfect., though a nespresso machine was a available upon request

JJackie08As always, excellent customer service. I appreciate that they allowed me to have breakfast even if it is not yet 6am as I need to leave before 6am. Their free shuttle service is really a plus!
MMarshieGot it! Here’s your revised review, keeping the original friendly tone while clarifying the tour offerings and distance to attractions like Honda Bay and the Underground River:

**A Perfect Tropical Escape – Carpe Diem Villas Exceeded Expectations!**
From the moment we arrived at Carpe Diem Villas, we were treated like VIPs! The staff welcomed us with refreshing drinks and big smiles, instantly setting the tone for a relaxing and memorable stay. The check-in process was smooth, and we immediately felt at home in this beautiful, tranquil retreat.
Our villa was spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed—combining modern comforts with a cozy tropical vibe. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved having a private balcony where we could unwind with a cup of coffee in the mornings or a glass of wine in the evenings. The pool area was another highlight—serene, well-maintained, and perfect for lounging under the Palawan sun.
While the villa is located in Puerto Princesa city (not near far-flung attractions like the Underground River or Honda Bay), the hotel made exploring easy by offering convenient tours to these must-see spots - from city tours to island-hopping adventures, ensuring that we can experience the best of Palawan without the stress of planning. Their recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems were also spot-on!
What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond—always attentive, friendly, and ready to help with anything we needed. Their warmth and professionalism made our stay feel extra special.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-appointed retreat with outstanding service and easy access to tours (even to faraway attractions!), Carpe Diem Villas is the perfect choice.

GGuest UserMy experience at Princesa Garden was beyond my expectations.
To be honest, I was a bit worried at first because I had read a review saying the resort wasn’t nice and had many issues, especially due to ongoing renovations. But when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised—it was actually very nice!
The resort was clean, the staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The food was great—yes, it was a bit pricey because of the added VAT and service charge, but it was delicious, so it was worth it.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place! 😊
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 ~
DdiscoveredI got my money's worth and a good sleep throughout my stay. Just wished they had a much better system to efficiently check-in their guests cause I booked here thru Trip but they don't have any sort of online system to reflect the booking status, check in time itself took almost an hour and everyone was so tired from the trip. They should improve better facilities especially water from the tap, it's not safe to drink and the water they gave is questionable we had to buy mineral water from a drugstore. They also offer breakfast and their bar and menu is good and affordable. Overall it's okay, would still recommend to my friends to stay here since location wise and service wise, they're good.
TTravelbehappyI had a lovely stay at Best Western Plus The Ivywall Hotel - Palawan. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure every guest felt at home. Their hospitality truly made the experience special. The location is excellent, 10 minute walk SM Mall, which is perfect for shopping, dining, currency exchange and even picking up essentials like a Globe SIM card for easy connectivity. Whether you're here for business or leisure, the convenience of having everything close by is a huge plus.
The hotel itself is well-maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms that offer a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. The amenities, including free Wi-Fi and great dining options, add to the overall experience.
