We loved the pools very much! The property is beautiful, the landscaping is gorgeous. The staff excellent helpful service. The resort is excellent. Overall, only comment is children. Children or sometimes very loud and we were hoping this was more of a quiet garden and spa atmosphere. Sometimes children were bike riding, allowed to bike ride all over the lobby, shouting and screaming. Families ok, but it would have been nice if the children were not so loud and allowed to bike ride outside the lobby and not shout and make so much noise.

Worst hotel we have stayed in on our 3 week trip. Had big construction and made lots of noise during our two day stay.
Not too mention a 45 min check in.
I would not eat the breakfast buffet.
It was not very good and I was it taking any chances.
We ended up leaving after one nights stay bc of all the problems with the hotel and the front desk staff. Never again.

The staff are very polite, breakfast buffet not as good compare to other hotel buffet I been to . Overall we have a pleasant stay.
4.0
The staffs are really friendly and accommodating and customer service oriented. The room is also great. I guess they can improve on providing bathrobes and additional towels for their rooms with jacuzzi or bathtub. I just have some concern on the parking of personal vehicle, it is far from the entrance or lobby and does not smell nice...

This was our first time at Princessa Garden. This was a family vacation pool access for 5 days. The resort made it very easy to book tours on site. They also booked off site dinner with transportation. Some wonderful amenities included room water, large pool, kids pool with water play area, game room, darts, karaoke room, miniature golf and kids play area in doors. The staff was extremely helpful, in my opinion the best in all my travels. The resort offered happy hour from 12 to 6 pm. Only negatives: our room was good for 4, with only 2 adult and a 8 yr old we were charged 250 pesos a night to have a sheet and blanket for the sofa bed, breakfast buffet today ran out of food by 8 am and would only have minimal amount in the serving tray. Breakfast was good for 2 only with 600 peso charge for child. Overall we were still very happy and will stay here again.

The overall experience was great.
I did have an issue during check out but I am not going to lower my 5 star rating because of it. I know they are just doing their jobs.
Upon checking, they wanted housekeeping to check the room and clear it before we left. It’s a customary thing just to make sure we did not leave anything, etc. I have stayed at two previous hotels in Palawan prior to this and they were quick! This hotel? Not so much. They told me I had to wait 5 minutes which I did. 5 minutes turned to 10 and so on. I had a flight to catch and needed to drop off my rental car so it would be cutting it close. I have mentioned this to the front desk receptionist MANY times and they keep telling me 1 more minute. Well 1 turned to 2,3,4,5 that I was worrying about my flight (missing this flight means I would miss my connecting which only leaves once a day)
She had no remorse or a sense of urgency so I told them I needed to go. I had enough and I walked out to a point they told the bellman to chase after me! Nope!!!! I am leaving unless you want to pay for my business class seats and an overnight hotel.
That was the only issue. Again, not downgrading my rating as everything else was great

Property was average. Upset about Expedia overcharging on off season for the water villa and it was not what we expected. The water around it was dirty and smelly due to dirty mangroves with stagnant water. We didn’t swim in the area. We tried to get a partial refund but the hotel manager avoided us and would not speak to us. Shame in Expedia for marking this place up. Locals paid for same villa $250 US dollars a night and we paid $650.

Stayed for three days before heading out diving in Tubbataha reef. Large property, great pool, with good service, dining, and rooms.

Half of everything's under construction. Place doesnt look kept up, food is terrible and has no flavor. I was given a 3-cheese grilled panini with no cheese and was expected to pay until i pointed out there was no cheese. The burger is essentially lumpia meat, yes with carrots and onions. The pizza sauce tastes like paste, they serve wings with that same sauce and no others available. Just order Grab. I booked the water villa for $500 a night, which is very expensive in the Philippines and the view was dirty. Volleyball area is run down, internet was slow and choppy so forget about checking your bank, doing work or attempting to log in to ANY secure network. I couldnt even login to my google TV. I was told it was the provider's fault. For a resort, there was nothing to do so we rented a motorcycle and went island hopping. Only good part was there was a business convention here so i was only able to book one night (place isnt huge).

Perfect little break, amazing rooms and pool and amenities, great staff, super friendly and fun if you give them half a chance to be. I will be back again.
4.0
The staff are all excellent. The food in the restaurant was for the most part excellent. Pasta seems to be their specialty. Caesar salad was great
Watch out for the entry into the pool its extremely slippery, and despite warning people we saw many people take hard falls in shallow water.
The locals say this is the best facility in Puerto Princesa. Honda Bay was the best tour
5.0
All inclusive resort with everything a traveler needs in one place. Very friendly workers above and beyond service provided. The food was delicious and the entertainment, pool, room, view, & sandbar were amazing. If I can afford to, I would go back again. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

The hotel is not bad but it needs to renovated, there are a beautiful fish swimming nearby.
There is a free shuttle to the airport, and an extra building is building up.
But the accommodation is expensive a little bit.
5.0
Stayed at the water villa and it was nice and quiet. Able to relax and just enjoy the ocean.
Went Kayaking to the sandbar and it was a fun experience. Highly recommend and will book again

Staff are very friendly . Excited was out of spring and creaky. Bathroom faucet needs repair , it was leaking when you wash your hand .
Nice and safe place to stay
3.0
On a positive note our room was lovely. On the down size the are building a a massive extension to the hotel next door. Work is from 8-8. We only stayed for one night, so it wasn’t an issue, we were also place right next door to the construction site. Work will be continuing for some time, so check before you book, especially if staying for more than a night. Hotel felt a little tiered but still nice. We stayed at a number of hotels during our trip, but this wasn’t up there I’m afraid, I found staff at the smaller non-chain hotels to be far more helpful. Nice but not memorable. If however you are looking for large clean safe hotel with large pool, it could be for you.

Excellent.
Only issue the shower drained slow so the water came in to rest of the bathroom.
Highly recommended

The entire resort is absolutely beautiful! Staff was always friendly and nice! The only issue I saw (and I’m nitpicking) was that there were many missing and loose tiles in our pool access (we had a double pool access suite). Other than that everything was great! Would highly recommend and wish to go back to Princesa Garden again!
4.0
We had a great time at this resort. It’s definitely 4 star rather than 5 star but we would still recommend it. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The rooms were clean and beautifully presented. The breakfast buffet was ok, not great. There’s only one restaurant option for lunch and dinner and the food was only ok. We chose to venture into town instead for dinner.
Note there is no ‘spa’. I was expecting a wellness spa with massage, sauna etc facilities. There is an option to have a massage in your room. We didn’t do this. There are also some weights available for outdoor weight training. They advertised yoga every morning but it was on only the day we arrived.
We took some of the tours offered (extra charge) and they were excellent- especially the island hopping and underground river tours.

Beautifull resort beautifull swimming pool and kind and friendly staff. Receptionist team excellent room beautiful
The only two remarks are about food :
Food its not for 5 star hotel but quite poor selection many items not available i would rate 2/3 star.
Second point the room should sold for discounted price as all day there is an annoying noice from the construction just inside the resort so u can t really relax in a swimming pool as a lot of noise

At the time of our visit, there was some construction work going on next door, which was a bit of an eyesore but we were off on most days doing tours or restaurants so didn't notice it. The staff were excellent, warm and friendly as expected.

It doesn’t have an easy access to the beach. The sandbar that they listed we have to wait until it’s low tide and it’s not convenient for our kids..

The property is great and on the sulu sea. Getting into town takes a bit of time but tour operators pick you up and makes for an enjoyable day.

Dear Puerto Princesa
I recently had the pleasure of staying at your establishment for 5 days. I wanted to provide some feedback on my experience.
Positives:
1. The kindness and professionalism of your employees stood out. They made our stay more enjoyable and comfortable.
Areas for Improvement:
1. The food options were quite limited. Expanding the menu or offering more variety would greatly enhance the dining experience.
2. The internet connectivity needs significant improvement. During our stay, we faced challenges with the connection’s stability and speed.
I hope you take this feedback constructively. It’s meant to help enhance the experience for future guests. Thank you for hosting us, and I look forward to seeing improvements on my next visit.
Warm regards,
Can TOKTAS

Very nice hotel with lots of facilities. The pool is great. There is no beach here but there is a sandbar that can be reached in a kayak, provided by the hotel. You can paddle yourself or ask a guide to take you. Not a huge amount to see out there but nice to get out on the water and worth a visit I think. There are Starfish and Sea Horses but the latter are only out at low tide (in the afternoon). It's a tuk-tuk ride into town for about PHP150 each way.
2.5
Great hotel, pool, service and facilities for a short stay.
Close to the airport and great for relaxing, visiting Puerto Princessa or a trip to the underground river.
Only thing missing is the beach. :-)
4.0
The staff made us wait 2 hours for check in, & we asked for a 1:00 pm check out but was denied. We wanted to go to Honda Beach & asked for beach towels but they wanted to give us room bath towels!
