A few factors really hampered this stay. The week we were there, the weather was absolutely terrible, raining almost all day everyday. Looking at the map, you would think this property was close to the city, it's not. It wasn't close to anything. They are building a new tower, which you can hear all of the construction for. I kind of want to go back to see how it turns out, but have no desire to ever set foot there again. The grounds must have been great in it's prime, however, it seems to along time since those days. For the most part it's nice, but like a lot of places in the Philippines, they aren't properly or adequately maintained. The pool, being the biggest thing that sticks out, the floor of it needing to be repainted. The greenery was very nice, giving off rain-forest vibes. The room was reasonably nice, but not for this price point. I expected a lot more for how much we paid. The bathroom was massive, I think it was bigger than the rest of the room. The Jacuzzi was probably the biggest disappointment. The water flow to fill it up was beyond slow, it took nearly 2 hours to fill it up. The heating element, even when set to high, didn't work. The jets, were bad, if you didn't have two people in it, sitting/laying exactly in the right position, they flooded the bathroom, they were literally pointed at such an arc, that they would shoot out of the tub. The shower was nice, but it took a long time to get hot water, wasting a lot of water.

The swimming pools where very spacious and the rest of the compound was nicely laid out. The new addition isn't totally ready -- so looking forward to coming back in a couple of years to the gym and other new features.

A great stay! The pool access room was very nice and worth the price. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Dining options were limited , and while the food was good, it was quite pricey. Complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport was a plus.

Special thanks to all the staff in this hotel. We went from Japan to Puerto Princesa on our holiday and my upcoming bday. A lot of hotels and accommodations have disappointed us. This hotel got it all. Huge sized pool, jacuzzi, gym, arcade area and so on. Staff and amenities are great the we went back 3 times in the span of 2 weeks and just cancelled our other hotels. I can't remember everyone but thanks to Paula,Neil, Joram and Harold for giving us a good time before heading back to Australia.

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.

We left early.. NEVER AGAIN.
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 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.

Great but customer service needs some training.
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.

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).

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
