Another Philippines hotel good from far but far from good. Advertises with all these activities but yet they are not offered or run down, have a look at the “beach volleyball” for example. The grounds nearing the water look like an abandoned 90’s resort. There used to be a floating dock to a sandbar but they’ve allowed it to become damaged and just pushed up against the shore rather than neatly towed and docked out of site. The entire resort looks outdated and not at all maintained. Every plush cushion I looked at to sit on was stained in some way to some degree so I didn’t sit on anything but our bed. Would not recommend staying at this resort. Resort needs to do better at maintaining instead of adding a ridiculous amount of details/decor to an aging hotel.

A 3Star Resort for the price of 5star!

This resort is stuck in 90s. A bit run down and management seemed have no interest in renovating it. We stayed at the water villa for 4 nights paying high price during low season. We were family of 3 with a child. We had booked thru hotels.com and clearly mentioned we were 3 and need an additional bed for our child. However during the checkin the hotel charged us additional 50USD/night for the bed which we felt was unnecessary rip off. We felt the checkin staff were a bit stuck up. Not friendly. The operations was also very old styled. Paper invoice for everything! They even gave us coupons for beach tower that we were supposed to exchange to get the towel and get it back when we return the towel. Seriously?? Water villa was spacious. However please note that it is enjoyable only if you are comfortable with mangrove and seaweed smell. Watervilla is surrounded by water only during high tides. i.e., between 7am-3pm. Hotel boasts about its private sandbar. Please note that this is not private. It is a public sandbar and some boat companies operate to bring non-residents to this sandbar. The recreational area is a bit run down, but u can play some games. The pool bar is always deserted. On a good note, the Japanese restaurant is awesome. Good food, great views and very good service. However, please note that it is closed on Mondays. The Italian restaurant is also good, but the chef seemed to like garlic a lot. You need to give specific instructions to the chef.

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.

Overall the hotel is great. Our suite was very nice and big. Pool is huge! Was able to swim laps with no problems. Spa was very nice, massages were got were so good we tried to do a round 3 but didn't have enough time. The Japanese restaurant on the roof top was very good! However make sure you are not starving when you head there, slow service when busy, took about 30 minutes to get sashimi. Would eat there more if we had more than the 3 days we were there. The Itilian restaurant by the pool is SO SO SO slow!!!! We had 2 hours before a massage and after an hour and a half we still haven't gotten our food. There was 1 other table other than our 4 people table and we could not get fed. After 3 asks of when our food is coming and we have a 2pm massage I finally told them to cancel all food that wasn't served and we'll just pay for what we had. The server even forgot I asked for ice and I had to go to the bar to get it myself after 5 minutes of waiting as my drink got warm. If you are hungry avoid eating at either the Japanese or Italian restaurants on site, have a snack with you or plan your food times. Overall, would definitely stay there again, the swim up rooms are much quieter than any other swim up rooms I've seen, my fear of screaming children is why we didn't get the swim up room and opted for the suite which is quite a bit more spacious than the swim up rooms. Clean rooms and welcoming staff were all very nice.
