Very good hospitality. Will recommend to any guests.

I had the most relaxing time at `hotel moment I arrived, the experience was flawless. The check-in process was smooth.
The customer service throughout my stay was top-notch, from the incredible room service. The atmosphere, views, and drinks were all exceptional.
Although I stayed for only three days, it was so wonderful that I didn’t feel the need to step outside the hotel.

Very beautiful hotel, staff is very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was nice too

The hotel is located on the fourth floor of a shopping center with a small lobby on the first floor. Many rooms do not have a window. You must pay extra to get a "Deluxe" room with a window. The beds are very firm but the rooms are nice and roomy. The staff is very nice and willing to accommodate needs and requests, Airport transfers are available for a fee.

I paid for checkin luggage on line with a link they sent me with the invoice and at check in they had no record of it being paid. I gave them an invoice number and they did t know how to pull it up. I had to go to my cc transactions to prove payment and then they couldn’t figure out how to clear it out of the system so they could check us in. The whole process took 35 min with no apologies

Room fairly modern for Philippines. We accidentally booked a good location, the Baywalk was just three blocks away. It’s convenient to the airport, and most tour companies will come directly here due to the good location. Close to markets, mall and many stores that are up and down the street in walking distance. We were happy with everything.

The staff is nice, the room was good for the value. Roosters crow every morning at 4:30am. Your options is a room with no windows or a room on the mainstreet that is also loud. It is the owners responsibility to make a deal with a guy that has 10 chickens and 5 roosters. Hire him, buy his chickens or buy the property that has the roosters. Go to the city and complain This area is not zoned as a farm. Or your ratings will suffer. I complained to Expedia and they called the hotel and no one responded to Exoedia. This poor customer experience and noise level will get you bad reviews.

It is really close to the Bay Walk - spent a few nights there and just walked back. Close to most things that a visitor might need. Some great views too as advertised...it is called Sunlight Hotel afterall.

Rooms are not sound proof as the rooms are so close to the main road with heavy traffic running through out the day and night.

Very good location but the area around hotel ….
Good for a short stay but not if you want to rest and enjoy the island life.

Not so nice outside but very nice inside. They were doing lots of renovation in the building and had a strong paint smell but overall i was very happy with it

Sun light is a very nice place to stay. Big rooms also. Nice air conditioning that’s really cold. Shower is really great. I’ll stay there again. Don’t mess up the bed sheets that will cost you $40.00. Haha

ROOM TYPE: Deluxe
PROS:
Friendly and helpful staff
Adaptable outlets [no USA Adapter req'd]
Open Roof Deck for relaxing
Large Room(s)
Breakfast adequate [local] foods.
Near Bayview Park [popular eateries, evening walks, etc.]
Spacious Bath and separate tub
CONS:
WI-FI: Fair-Poor Ping:115-300ms; Download:15.66mbps Upload:7.8mbps
"Ocean View" rooms, however, ALL come with not-the-nicest backyard view directly below at ground-level, as well as [possibly] THREE (3) Roosters that crow non-stop!
Loud Karaoke bar nearby ... even on SUNDAY night.
OBSERVATIONS:
Gym is extra fee
Hotel is ONLY the TOP (4th) floor of the large/expansive MegaMall; There are many rooms, but only "Ocean Views" (really "Bay View") have OUTSIDE views. Others are 'Superior Room' type, meaning 'windows' to hallways.
Hotel is under airport/flight path. However, there are FEW flights daily.
Firm/Hard Bed/bedding
No internet when on the rooftop Deck.
In the busiest part of the 'old' town/waterfront.

Don’t let the front entrance fool you. The street side is extremely busy, noisy, and rather dirty. Once inside the hotel the small lobby is quite nice. The rooms are above are quiet and it feels completely different from outside. Two of us shared a room with two large beds quite spacious. We had a balcony with a commanding view of the bay. Breakfast buffet was enough mostly Filipino foods but did have toast and buns, oatmeal, cold cereals. The only complaint was the TV did not get any stations. Also the obscured glass enclosure for bathroom is not very private, especially with light on in bathroom. You can definitely see shadows of person inside and noise was not insulated. Parts of the glass covering were peeling so it was clear. Close to everything the SM Mall is 10 minutes away by walking also the bay front walk is around the corner. There is pharmacy downstairs as well as a supermarket and local department store

Located on the 4th floor above a multi-level mall, the room floor is bright, clean and modern. The rooms are big and the balcony is lovely. Puerto Princessa is loud and busy but being on the 4th floor puts you a bit above everything. Great location right in a busy shopping area with lots of restaurants and a short walk to the Baywalk area. The free, yes FREE airport shuttle was great and ready exactly when requested. The hotel provided us with a full to-go traditional Filipino style breakfast since we had to check out before breakfast started, it was a lot of food and very good. The only thin I can thin of was that the bed was pretty firm, a bit too firm for me but that is subjective of course.

It was busy season, so we didn’t have choice to stay other places.
Breakfast is disgusting not many choices. No option for vegetarian / vegan. Coffee isn’t good taste. The restaurant was fumed on going construction chemical smell.
We booked underground river cave through the reception. They said the tour was cancelled because of bad weather. However it was fully booked. They gave us wrong information.
Night time, kids were running in corridor with screaming, adults were having party with drinking alcohols near the guest room areas. It was really noisy.
Equipment are old to need update.
Staffs keep saying apologies.

Pleasant stay, hotel is quite old but the bed was comfortable and staff very friendly and helpful. I had some minor issues with my door lock and i was immediately transferred to another room. Breakfast was not so glorious but enough to get you ready for the day.

Overall I enjoyed my stay... my only serious gripe would be the mattress.. hard as the floor...please upgrade to more plush and softer bedding for future guests... I know their backs would appreciate it.. mine unfortunately did not..

The place needs general cleaning and a bit of renovation. The bathroom and tub was dirty, they need to clean the place even if it a bit old. During check in, we were sitting in the sofa at the receptions area, waiting for like 30 minutes. If I didn't ask for an update we wouldn't know that we are already done checking in. The lady staff said oh you're already checked in! I was like oh nobody informed us.

My stay at the sunlight guest hotel was nice...they have a free shuttle service from the airport arrived a little early room wasn't ready but it was ok..the rooms are super big with a balcony.

First of all...good point about this hotel.. good location if you want to shop at a huge modern mall.. Also there is some souvenir shopping and groceries nearby.
okay.. on to not so good points. Bed is as hard as a rock. Would be great if you were a dog. Almost like sleeping on the floor!
Carpets are dirty.
Shower sucks.. just a trickle.
Internet is not good. Always off and on. Also, only works on the 4th floor which is where the hotel is. This is not a hotel building. It's one floor.
Pay extra for the view or you will get a view of a wall.
There is no beach nearby. You can take the tours from the hotel but if I had to do it again, I would stay about 45 minutes from this hotel and the airport on one of the beautiful beaches. There is really not a lot of beautiful things around this hotel. It's in the middle of a crowded downtown with lots of traffic.
The breakfast is horrible. It was so bad that even though it was free, we didn't want it. Sometimes they had eggs to order and sometimes they had cold scrambled eggs. Everything else looked really scary. You had to hunt someone down to get anything extra like tea or salt.
Staff was fairly friendly but not very helpful. They didn't seem to know a whole lot about anything.
Price was not good for what you could get in other parts of Palawan. There is no pool, no beach, no relaxation. Just one floor of a building with a hard bed. That's all.

The room was spacious and part of a free upgrade, so I was definitely pleased with that. The location was convenient, with the waterfront, SM and many restaurants nearby, even if the adjacent street was often crowded and a bit of a rough road. The staff were good at helping me with concerns, such as making sure I had a pre-packed breakfast since I had to check out before the breakfast buffet opened. They arranged for me to get a tricycle to the beach and helped me schedule a few tours. Good job.

I can’t comment on the spa or gym as i didn’t use them. The place is still having work done the staff are great though my advice there’s better in peurto Princesa. WiFi is only on 4th floor ok as so was my room if they had a good international restaurant I’d recommend it but it’s not it’s all about profit buffets are aren’t they.

Nice hotel with very awesome staff willing to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Hotel is good for the price, it is located very close to airport and everything you need is right around you. I would recommend upgrading or getting the deluxe room for the extra bucks so you can get the view of the ocean with your own balcony.

The room was very clean and service was quick and responsive. The location was perfect for what I wanted to do. Market across the street, mall up the street, Baywalk park around the corner.
