    The front structure of my villa was like a makeshift drinking session area. I am not sure whether its the staff that’s doing it making privacy a bit off during the first. On the other nights, i had to look inside of it making sure no ones there before dipping in the pool

    The property provides a good seclusion from the outside environment making it very peaceful and somewhat detached to the outside world yet easily accessible. The food and the resto was an unexpected greatness.

    The towels left small particles in our hair and clothes, and were hard to get off.

    We were welcomed by a really nice lady who showed us around and showed us the villlas. There were two villas, with one private pool. Everything was very clean, toiletries were provided for us, and the minibar was filled - but only coffee and tea was free. The beds were clean and decorated with folded towels in the shape of adorable swans. The only thing we didn’t like, was that the towels left particles on our clothes, but you can take them off. The bathroom was also clean. The airco was quiet and the rooms were well cooled down! Really nice! The breakfast was simple but fine! Loved our one night stay here, we would definitely come back if we were to come with a bigger group, because we were with three this time.

    Great location with spectacular views from the infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Room was very clean and the staff very helpful. The food was very nice and overall a great place to stay. 10 minute walk into town along the beach road was also a plus point.

    The coffee provided at breakfast is instant and not very strong! Staff, although friendly, were sometimes quite slow to assist. The restaurant in the hotel is French, which is nice but means the food you can order to your room or eat there is more expensive than expected.

    Beautiful room & pool, each room has a separate access to the pool which is very nice. Loved the concept of the outdoor style bathroom. There are fresh eggs for breakfast in the mornings which is nice. Staff were friendly. We really enjoyed relaxing in the porch of the room by the pool

    I wish there was a coffee machine in the dining area.

    I really enjoyed the pool and the facilities. Place is clean and looks nice. Room is comfortable and has AC. I will definately stay here again for a longer stay next time I'm going to Puerto Princesa. Staff is smiling and is very helpful. Overall, excellent service from the staff. I felt welcomed. The reception also offers tours.

    Wished the restaurant opened earlier as most of the tours we booked thru the hotel had very early departures. Also our room had a very strong paint smell that didn’t go away even with a deodorizer.

    Rooms were spacious and very clean and nicely decorated. Pool was clean. Bathrooms were very clean and spacious. Breakfast was simple but good. Just took a bit of time to prepare.

    food was a disappointment no fresh juice very hit and miss and lots of menu items unavailable the chicken and pork in the degustation were very tough

    possibly the nicest place we stayed in our two weeks in Palawan it felt like absolute luxury it was a great secluded spot pool temperature was perfect and their margaritas were the best!

    We only stayed there one night since we were going to elnido the next day, but the hotel was amazing super comfortable and clean room, with a huge bathroom, we took cocktails in the swimming pool and honestly they were amazing, then we ate french food in their restaurant and it was one of the best french food we've ever eaten, and the staff was super friendly, so over all it was perfect without any flaws a 10/10 would recommend!

    There is ongoing construction of new villas which can be potentially distracting as it goes on in the night but it didnt really bother me. I'm not sold about the design choice of bathrooms with the pebbles, looks cool but... i couldn't get hot water to work properly in the shower.

    I enjoyed the ambience and atmosphere. A new resort, with an open layout. As soon as i got there i felt the relaxing vibes. Nice pool, comfortable room. Nice staff, i want to thank the receptionist Mariel for her kindness and help. Always ready to go out of her way to make sure i was happy.
