Small and cozy.

This is a fantastic little place for a couples retreat. It’s not lavish but it’s small and friendly. Great if you’re going out and about day tripping. Small but quiet. Stayed in a villa with private pool. They could do more to make it private as people walking past have full view so it’s not really private. Grounds are lush and green. There’s really no amenities like a big hotel but you don’t have the crowds either. Restaurant is very average and we generally went out to eat. Service was exceptional. We had a great time.

Excellent place to stay if you have plans for the Underground river. Make sure you have shuttle service and they will pick you up from this hotel. The staff is great and the rooms are very clean. They have a great breakfast and dining options. I was not disappointed. I highly recommend this place.

I think that the highlight of this hotel is the staff everybody is so incredibly pleasant and attentive the facility is nice but it needs upgrading this is the kind of hotel that has a huge potential for becoming a high end boutique facility with a cocktail hour and more tour activities the rooms need upgrading badly but overall it was a very pleasant experience

The rooms, the property, restaurant were so pristinely clean. All the towels smelled so nice. The room smelled nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only down side is the property is not near anything walkable but it’s a cheap trip by tricycle to wherever you want to go. I would stay here again.

Great hotel

Great hotel but a little overpriced for Philippines. Make sure they clean your room since once in a while they forget and give you an excuse that you wasn't in your room or didn't ask for it and didn't leave them the keys.

Joli

Un joli ecrin de verdure dans Puerto Princesa. La villa avec piscine est agréable sauf dans la salle de bain (très jolie) où il y a une odeur de moisi malgré une aeration naturelle. Le petit déjeuner est très bien avec des plats locaux en buffet et des options à demander ( baguette,confiture,crepe,œufs). Le retaurant est bien mais plus cher qu'en ville. Attention, l'hôtel est loin du centre. Le transfert aéroport est rapide et pratique pour un prix raisonnable.
