This is currently my favorite hotel, all things considered, and I generally recommend checking it out. I have had a number of irritations on this particular stay that reflect a downward trend, which I hope are addressed.
* When I arrived at 10pm no one was expecting me and it required a phone call since the front desk does not speak English to allow me access to my room.
* My villa had no sheets or pillow cases when I arrived.
* The safe had low batteries and it took three days and four requests to get the batteries replaced, including a five minute phone call between the staff who arrived with the wrong batteries and chose to discuss this with the office while in the room on his phone rather than go get the batteries - he never came back.
* The hair dryer in the bathroom requires an adapter to plug in, which was missing, requiring a delay until one could be found at an awkward moment.
* When ordering a banana I was told that no bananas were on site. Instead of going 100 meters down the street and buying a banana or keeping them in stock, I was told over three separate phone calls all the reasons why no bananas could be produced until the next market day so I had to go buy them myself and leave some with the kitchen - incredibly irritating.
* No black tea was re-stocked.
Whether it is failing to replace old batteries, make the beds, stock the kitchen or accommodate a very simple guest request, I have the clear impression that guest service is not the priority.

The staff were wonderful, especially Lou. The rooms were a bit unclean, even after the staff cleaned them. In our room, there was toothpaste on the cupboard under the bathroom sink. We stayed for over a week and had the room cleaned 3 times and the toothpaste was still there. The toilet wasn't cleaned properly and the general cleaning if the room was quite shoddy. I enjoyed the stay, overall, and loved the pool area and the slight remoteness of it. Just needs to be kept to a simple standard. Thanks for everything. Just trying to help by my little complaints.

Munting Paraiso is a lovely property with warm, friendly staff. The grounds are attractive, well groomed and clean. This is a different type of atmosphere than the cookie-cutter resorts. Each of the rooms are in their own separate building giving you a very private feeling. There are several very large very old trees on the grounds that add to the beautiful atmosphere. The pool is nice and clean. The staff is very attentive and courteous. The food at the restaurant is tasty. I give a 4-star rating to this superb property.

It was a nice quant little hotel. The service was great! A short 10-12 minute walk from other food places. It was very nice and quiet. We were only here for a day and a half. The room was a bit outdated and shower needed updating because it was getting rusty already. They were low on a lot of food items at their restaurant so we opted to not order from them. Pool is nice, and they have a small but workable gym. Front desk was very nice and polite. Not too much privacy as our window over looks other people’s balcony. But overall if you are looking for a cute short stay hotel, it’s definitely a great value! Will stay here again!

I stayed on this property for 5 nights. It's a property of 12 bungalows that have a kitchenette big room with the terrace with table, hameck you could seat outside enjoy the weather. The staff are very polite.The service they provide was out of this world. This place was very private and quiet. I'm definitely coming back again.

I appreciated that it was a bungalow and had a good amount of space. The pool was lovely and I enjoyed having the hammock. The restaurant was convenient, and overall it is a lovely place to stay. We were only there for a night in transit back from El Nido.

It was almost like that small town feeling. Service was right on the place was spotless. The owner and his daughter were always right there so if there ever was problem it would be immediately taken care of but there never was a problem. The rooms were big with full kitchen where I could cook if I want to . Security was great. The restaurant is never packed so no waiting for your food. The amenities were great a lot of tour options. Massage, and transportation. I will definitively be back to this property my next vacation because I am going back to Palawan and will start here.

Above all the positives was the hospitality of the staff. Communication was efficient and everyone was friendly and welcoming from the moment we were timely met at the airport to until we were well beyond the property. Everyone is smiling and approachable and ready to help out, from if you need anything to just a conversation.
The stay is perfect. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the surrounding was so relaxing we even decided to stay in one evening, enjoying the surrounds instead of exploring the city.
When we return to Puerto Princesa, we hope that Munting Paraiso will have a room for us again.

Small quaint resort, 12 bungalows. Nice pool and stay is friendly. More laid back not run like a professional resort, had an excursion at 7am went to the restaurant at 6am (posted opening time) and nobody around until 6:20... Many things on the menu were not available. Nothing within walking distance...

The complex of bungalows is very well kept and the small gym is sufficiently equipped to let you squeeze in your usual workout even on holidays.

everything was nice including the location, we like the peaceful ambiance and the privacy of our area. One thing, it was a little far from everything like shopping and beaches.

Great place. Couldn't fault it. As someone who believes in sustainability, this hotel ticks a lot of boxes. Mr Heinz, the should give himself a pat on the shoulders. Only a year old, he has built the 12 units of accomodation around existing century year old trees. Solar lighting and underground water are some of the features used in this built. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The pool is amazing. If I have to nick pick, I would suggest the coffee house need to have more variety. That is not an issue as a P50-100 tricycle ride would get you to town where more restaurants are available. Definitely great for couple or families. Will stay here again if ever back to P.P. Highly recommended.

We came across Munting Paraiso by chance since our flight was delayed and we needed to stay a night in PP. We loved it. It is truly a little paradise with beautiful grounds and kind staff helping you in any way they can. We decided to delay our trip to El Nido and stay one more night doing an underground river tour.
Thank you Munting Paraiso

We chose to stay here due to there being nothing but amazing reviews online and it did not disappoint!!
The bungalows are exactly as described and seen online – spacious and clean and everything is just right. The outside varanda/lounge area makes all the difference as the entire resort has beautiful landscaping and sits beneath the most magnificent massive trees that together make for the most tranquil and chilled environment.
The food is good and so reasonable so you literally do not have to move if you don’t want to, but otherwise just a great place to come back to after a day out exploring. What is not mentioned online is that there is great fiber internet here which is rare in the Phillipines and such a bonus when away from home, and the aircon is super strong!!
I must also make mention of the amazing staff here who are totally helpful and nothing is too much, there is a sizeable staff compliment and I am not great with names but I do remember Marvin being one of the many who were consistently happy to go the xtra mile helping with anything – this is also a huge plus when arranging tours and your further….the owners are totally hands on and available to help with any recommendations you may need and such lovely and chilled people – this all contributed to an environment of complete relaxation (BTW – suggested by them Kalui restaurant is by far the best restaurant in town and must do!!!!)
I can highly recommend this resort - it has made our trip!!

Incredibly friendly room and restaurant staff.
Nothing was too much trouble. WiFi was awful though. Kept losing connection for sustained periods so if you need to work or like to read online then think again.
