Prima hotel, mooi uitzicht over de baai. Goede locatie op korte afstand van het dorpje. Mooie zwembaden en een leuk kinderbad met glijbaan. Kamers prim met heerlijke bedden en een ruim balkon.
De aandachtspunten voor dit hotel zijn het onderhoud van het zwembad, waar veel tegels los zitten of zijn gescheurd en de airco maakt echt onwijs veel lawaai.
Ondanks dat hebben wij hier een prima verblijf gehad!
Staff : friendly, helpful, accommodating, and providing ”top tier” hospitality
The location is a major highlight, as the hotel is only a 2-5 minute drive or a short walk from the Puerto Princesa International Airport.
rooms are spacious, clean, well-designed with unique hand-painted murals, and having very comfortable beds.
Ik heb bij eerdere bezoeken aan PPS in kleine resorts verbleven. Deze keer boekte ik HUE voor een overnachting. De locatie is uitstekend, direct naast Robinson Mall en niet ver van de luchthaven. De algehele sfeer, faciliteiten en netheid voldoen aan viersterrennormen. Mijn gezin van drie boekte een familiekamer, met twee extra grote badkamers met drie slaapkamers, waardoor de kamer kleiner leek. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid, maar verrassend genoeg voor een kuststad was er helemaal geen vis. De enige optie was een kleine, malse, maar overbeet, gefrituurde, noedelachtige vis – een gerecht dat alleen acceptabel is voor toeristen zoals wij.
Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en vroeg proactief of we de volgende dag naar de luchthaven zouden gaan en of ze een taxi nodig hadden. Toen ze 1XXX pesos aanboden, heb ik dat resoluut afgewezen. De tuktuktaxi's bij de ingang kosten een fractie daarvan, en dat is voor toeristen. Bij eerdere bezoeken aan PPS kostte een ritje naar de luchthaven verderop iets meer dan 100 pesos. Het is natuurlijk begrijpelijk dat viersterrenhotels extra kosten in rekening brengen voor extra services, en gasten zijn vrij om deze te weigeren. Er is een zwembad, een kleine bar en een fitnessruimte op de bovenste verdieping van het hotel, maar wij hadden haast en gingen alleen even kijken, maar hebben het niet ervaren.
We had an amazing stay at Funny Lion Puerto Princesa!
From check-in until we left, the service was excellent and the staff were consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They made us feel welcome the entire time.
We also appreciated the little extras — the complimentary minibar items and snacks were such a nice touch and made the stay feel even more special.
Overall, we had a really comfortable and enjoyable experience here, and would definitely stay again on our next trip to Puerto Princesa.
Highly recommended!
Op het eerste gezicht heeft dit hotel alle voorzieningen die je nodig hebt: een geweldig zwembad, een fitnessruimte, een biljarttafel, het ligt vlak bij het strand, er is gratis ontbijt en een luchthaventransfer. Dat waren zeker pluspunten. Het ontbijt was echter een beetje vreemd: een buffet met één fruitsoort, rijst, vleesgerechten (gisteren kip, vandaag vis of eend), brood, wafels, diverse sauzen, salade, een eierstation waar je een ei naar wens kunt laten bereiden en twee soorten ontbijtgranen. De kwaliteit was goed en je kon zeker vol zitten van het eten, maar de keuzes waren nogal willekeurig. Wij vonden het niet erg, maar het was niet voor iedereen weggelegd.
Het grootste probleem met deze plek is de kamer. Die is heerlijk ruim en comfortabel, maar zoals anderen al hebben opgemerkt, is het er extreem vochtig. Zo erg zelfs dat we de eerste avond de schoonmaakdienst moesten bellen om onze lakens te laten verschonen en de vloer te laten dweilen. De vochtigheid liep langs de muren naar beneden, hoopte zich op in de vloeren en op andere oppervlakken, maakte onze tassen en kleding vochtig en zorgde voor een walgelijke muffe geur. We vermoeden dat dit geen ongebruikelijk probleem is, ondanks de 'verrassing' bij de receptie, aangezien de kamer vol schimmel zat. De enige manier om dit echt te verhelpen (maar niet volledig op te lossen) is door de airconditioning extreem hoog en ijskoud te zetten, wat we niet konden doen omdat het niet warm genoeg was en we niet ziek wilden worden.
Het zwembad was echter erg schoon, de biljart- en tafeltennistafels waren een welkome bonus, maar het strand is niet geschikt om in te zwemmen, dus houd daar ook rekening mee. Een prima verblijf als je een overstapvlucht hebt, maar absoluut geen 'resort'-ervaring.
Got 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.
H Hotel El Nido was a perfect stay! The staff went above and beyond, especially Sky, to make sure our stay was restful and that we had a great experience. They helped us arrange a private speed boat island hoping tour which was amazing. The food at Verde, their attached restaurant, was delicious. The bar upstairs had a great view of the bay and was a wonderful place to wind down with a cocktail. Everything was walkable from this location. So may great little shops, coffee places, and other places to dine nearby. If you want to go further a tuk tuk is easy to grab to head to another beach. We had a room with a sea view. It was modern, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Also you get a discount at the excellent massage place next door for staying at this hotel. The hotel arranged a free pick up and transport from the El Nido airport too! Highly recommend …. Just book this place now! Look no further!
Room is clean, with friendly and nice staffs. Located just opposite the public market whereby you can get lots of fruits, vegetables etc. There are nearby supermarkets n small malls where you can get snacks and necessities. Also walking distance to SM mall. It is nearby the airport too. By tuk tuk it cost you 150 to get go airport. Walking distance to Baywalk where you can enjoy sunset and nice seafood dinners. Or relaxing stroll along the busy baywalk.
Paid 300 to get to the other side Sicsican where Ka Joel, baker’s Hill, etc are.
Ik vind het lastig om de goede en slechte kanten van dit hotel te beschrijven, maar het is echt het saaiste hotel waar ik ooit in de Filipijnen heb verbleven tijdens mijn bijna twintig bezoeken! Geen twijfel mogelijk!
Laat ik beginnen met de goede dingen:
1. Het hotel is groot, goed uitgerust, met goede service en vriendelijk personeel
2. De kamer is groot, schoon en ruim. Het heeft wat het moet hebben, en er is zelfs een keuken
3. Drie zwembaden, open tot 22.00 uur, zeer ruim en gratis om te spelen
4. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid, zowel het à la carte als het buffet zijn heerlijk
5. De luchthavenshuttle kost 1000P en is zeer efficiënt
Dan het slechte:
1. Het zogenaamde strand is een grote moddervlakte. Nadat het tij was teruggetrokken, was het land helemaal kaal, met niets anders dan krabben.
2. De bewakers waren overzenuwachtig en lieten je niet het water in gaan, behalve in het aangewezen zwemgebied, omdat er kwallen en steenvissen waren, zelfs als je stevig was ingepakt.
3. Ik liep rond in het gebied en er was niets anders dan slikplaten en niets anders dan rotsen onder water, geen schelpen, alleen kleine krabben. Rechts zijn mangrovebossen en rotsen te zien.
4. Ik wilde een eilandhoppingtrip boeken, maar kreeg te horen dat er 6 mensen op de boot zaten en dat ik het zelf moest betalen als ik niet genoeg mensen kon vinden. Het feit is dat ik het wilde betalen, maar dat er niemand was om me te vergezellen en dat er niemand was om me vijf dagen te vergezellen;
Tot slot raad ik je ten zeerste af om naar deze plek te komen. Naar Palawan gaan is tenslotte genieten van de prachtige onderwaterwereld. Als je in het zwembad van het hotel wilt liggen, kun je dan niet beter naar Sanya gaan? !
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Comfort and Service at an Amazing Value!
I had an outstanding stay at Best Western Plus The Ivy Wall Hotel in Puerto Princesa. From check-in to check-out, the staff provided excellent customer service — always warm, attentive, and eager to help with a smile. They truly made me feel welcome and valued throughout my stay.
The room was immaculate, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was soft and cozy, the linens fresh, and everything—from the bathroom to the minibar—was spotless. I also appreciated how quiet and relaxing the atmosphere was, perfect for unwinding after exploring the beautiful sights of Palawan.
One of the highlights of my stay was the morning breakfast buffet. It offered a great variety of local and international dishes, all freshly prepared and delicious. From tropical fruits and made-to-order eggs to Filipino favorites and good coffee, it was the perfect way to start each day. The dining staff were equally wonderful—friendly, efficient, and attentive.
Considering the high level of comfort, cleanliness, and service, the affordability of this hotel is truly impressive. You get a 5-star experience at a very reasonable price, making it one of the best values in Puerto Princesa.
I highly recommend Best Western Plus The Ivy Wall Hotel to anyone visiting Palawan. Whether for business or leisure, it’s the perfect mix of luxury, convenience, and Filipino hospitality. I’ll definitely stay here again!

Great
AAnonymous UserHands up to this place. The room was nice, the staffs were very friendly and accommodating. They will tend to your concern and make you feel their hospitality. They also have free breakfast every morning and all of it are freshly made.
The room has fresh linens, cold AC, hot and cold showers. The only cons during our visit is that there’s no wifi due to aftermath of a recent typhoon but overall this is 10/10 hostel. I’ll stay with them once I go back soon
BBlecyAn absolute paradise for families!
We had an amazing stay at Astoria Palawan.
The highlight for the kids (and adults!) was definitely the Palawan Waterpark, which kept everyone entertained for hours. The resort grounds are beautifully maintained, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the beach view is stunning. Special shoutout to the staff who were incredibly accommodating and always greeted us with warm smiles. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Puerto Princesa!
GGuest UserHow to say it?
Let me start with the bad parts. The facilities are too old. The bamboo room is not soundproof. The sea view is not vast and there are mountains around. There are many mosquitoes. The swimming pool is very small. There are many colorful lights installed in a very ”medieval” style. The attitude of the waiters is also a little inferior.
The good places are affordable! The food is not bad. The semi-buffet breakfast is delicious (the picture shows breakfast). There are many choices of international styles for dinner! At night, you can see flocks of birds returning to their nests at the sunset at the pier bar, which is very romantic!
AAnna Maria Olsson* Upon arrival, the air conditioning unit in our villa was not properly maintained. The filter was extremely dirty and clogged, causing excessive noise and poor performance. We had to clean it ourselves in order to use it.
* There is little to no mobile signal in the area, and the WiFi connection has been unreliable due to ongoing maintenance, making it very difficult to stay connected.
* There has been significant noise disturbance from construction work directly behind our villa, including the use of loud power tools throughout most of the day over several days.
* We were only informed about a wedding taking place upon check-in. As a result, we were unable to use the sunbeds located outside our villa and had to relocate further away. Also due to the wedding taking place, the hotel had to make many soundchecks during the day before, playing very loud music which made it hard to relax on the beach. The wedding guests (80+ people) were allowed to use the villa next to us, as their designated toilet, which caused a lot of back and forth from the weddings guests right by our villa. This made it difficult to relax.
* Additionally, we find that the restaurant prices are quite high compared to the quality of the food. For example, breakfast at 800 PHP did not meet basic expectations, as even simple items such as cheese and ham for bread were missing. I’m also sorry to say that the chicken adobo is tasteless, and on the menu it says the menu has been created by a Michelin chef. My mango daquiri tasted only of alcohol, so I had to ask for one with less alcohol. As a certified bartender, that is unacceptable. Even the French fries were not done properly as they needed more time in the oven (I think that’s what they used to make them at least, I would prefer if they were fried in oil though).
However, very good mango shakes.
* We would also like to mention that the access roads leading to the property are in very poor condition. The roads consist mainly of uneven gravel and are full of deep potholes, which make driving quite difficult and uncomfortable. In some areas, it is only possible to drive at around 10 km/h due to the condition of the road.
We believe that the roads would greatly benefit from proper maintenance or being paved with cement, as this would significantly improve accessibility and the overall guest experience.
We understand that some of these issues may be temporary or unforeseen, but taken together they have had a significant impact on our stay.
However I would really like to highlight Hazel from the reception at the Nacpan Beach Villas. She was really sweet and thorough when we had any questions and went the extra mile for us. She deserves a raise. Please let her know we were really happy with her and really appreciated her.
GGuest UserWhat an incredible stay! We absolutely loved EVERYTHING about Zuri. Starting from the staff - everybody was super nice, helpful and smiley. They even had a thermometer for us to buy when we needed one! The transport was waiting for us at the airport (paid 300php/person one way). The room and bathroom was really spacious and spotless. There’s plenty of space for the clothes and stuff in the bathroom. The room also has a fridge, kettle with coffee/tea choices as well as bathroom alimentaries. The resort area is amazing. The resort is places by the hill a bit away from the town, facing the sea and Coron island. It has 3 pools + 1 kiddie pool, a pool bar, cafe, restaurant, shop, ATM and more. It’s surrounded by greens. You can truly rest there. The breakfasts there were exceptional! Lots of choice, different food both western and Asian. There was also barbecue in the evenings, very tasty as well. We loved it!
The only minor downsides:
- you can’t really control the AC, there’s no remote, you can have it set to fan or cool and set the power 1-10
- there is no reception in the room
- there are not many power outlets in the room
SSimagin_IvanThe resort is nestled in a quiet harbour within a small village just a short distance from Puerto Galera — you can reach the town in about 10 minutes by tricycle for 50 pesos. The property sits right on the waterfront, with its courtyard opening directly onto the bay. The setting is incredibly serene, cosy and picturesque. The grounds feature plenty of relaxing spots: comfortable chairs, sun loungers and hammocks where you can unwind. We especially loved the chair near the large tree — it was the perfect place to relax!
The sea near the resort is a bit murky due to local currents, so not many people swim here. However, this isn’t an issue at all, as you can quickly and affordably reach the stunning beaches of Sabang (I highly recommend La Laguna) by tricycle — or even on foot if you’re up for a walk. During low tide, you can explore the seabed right near the hotel. The resort also has a small swimming pool, and despite other guests staying there, we never had any trouble finding space to take a dip.
The rooms are clean and well‑maintained, featuring a small kitchenette, stylish bathrooms and even a bathtub. We stayed on the ground floor, so we occasionally noticed small ants and once spotted a gecko — but they never caused any inconvenience. Please note that the air conditioning is rather weak, so the room might feel a bit stuffy or not quite cool enough at times. There’s both a ceiling fan and a standing fan available, though, and overall the accommodation was comfortable.
The on‑site restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes for breakfast and other meals, with prices typical for a resort area. We were very pleased with the food. The staff are attentive, always smiling and eager to help.
During our week‑long stay, the resort wasn’t crowded, which made for a truly relaxing experience — you really get what you came for. Occasionally, local guests can be a bit noisy, laughing loudly or singing karaoke, which might disturb your sleep or meditation. However, this is not the resort’s fault, and it’s still relatively quiet compared to other spots around Puerto Galera, such as White Beach.
What could be improved:
1) Flip‑flops. It’s odd that a seaside resort doesn’t offer free flip‑flops like most similar places do — they only rent them out here. Even budget hotels usually provide this small convenience.
2) Charge for outside food. Corkage fees are normal, but charging an extra 150 pesos for any outside food is too much. Even though we weren’t charged, the mere existence of such a rule makes the resort look stingy. This rule should be removed.
3) Wi-Fi was dead almost all of the time. Don’t rely on it.
Thanks to the Blue Crystal Resort for a nice stay! I highly recommend it.
GGuest UserThis resort is best resort where I have ever been to.
Staffs were really nice and kind every time.
They helped us to make good memories.
Complementary activities were good.
We really recommend island hopping.
This resort is rich in nature beauty.
I will absolutely come back in near future.
CCT20We traveled as a family of four and booked two rooms—one twin-sharing and one queen double. Both rooms were in good condition, clean, and comfortable. The staff were consistently friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Daily housekeeping is available upon request, which was convenient.
Before our trip, I was a bit hesitant after reading some negative reviews mentioning repetitive breakfast options and the absence of hairdryers. However, it seems the hotel has addressed these concerns. Each room now comes with a brand-new hairdryer (ours was still in the box), and we were pleasantly surprised that the breakfast offerings were varied and different each day.
The hotel’s location in Coron town is another big plus, making it easy to walk to nearby restaurants.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again if we return to Coron.
JJustUsExploringWe stayed for a night at this hidden villa, and it felt like a true home away from home. The staff were incredibly kind and respectful, providing excellent service that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The food was a highlight—absolutely delicious, with a healthy breakfast offered in the morning. You can even request a floating breakfast, which added a special touch to the experience. While the villa is tucked away down a short gravel road, the peaceful and private setting made it worth the effort.
The villa is kid-friendly, but families should be cautious around the tiled swimming pool area. There’s no TV, so if you’re traveling with children, make sure their devices are charged. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi is strong and reliable. Overall, it was a lovely, relaxing stay with amazing food and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this villa for a cozy and memorable getaway.
AAnonymous UserWe had a great experience during our 4-day stay in Coron Soleil Express Hotel. All the staff were courteous, respectful and accommodating. The room was clean and the aircon functions well. The swimming pool is clean and did not feel too much chlorine in the water. As an overall rating, it was excellent. Will come back again in the hotel with families and friends.
