    quirky vibe
    unique massage
    shower pressure

    The outdoor spa area has potential but needs some attention, and the massage experience I had hit the spot. The quirky vibe of the place.

    Water pressure for the shower varied a lot, definitely a letdown. The hot water system required constant resetting, and the restaurant setup was odd, particularly being placed in a basement with distracting YouTube advertisements during dinner. Plus, the location isn't walkable to shops or attractions, leaving you relying on scooters for anything off the premises.

    I had a superior king room included with the Jacuzzi. A hair dryer, a bidet, and dressing gowns were available there. The location was excellent and the free parking was on site. This hotel was in a fairly nice area close enough to Puerto Princesa and airport, restaurant and places😀

    friendly staff
    unclean room
    weak water pressure

    The friendly staff made me feel at home.

    Upon checking in, I found my room was dusty and not properly cleaned. The shower's water pressure was weak, and getting hot water was a hassle. Dining options were disappointing, as both my visits to the restaurant were interrupted by private events, and the food lacked flavor and variety.

    Simply no reason to complain, fairly nice stay. Fairly clean brand-new hotel with very kind staff. Wi-Fi and cell available in the family room. A bidet in the bathroom. Favourable, excellent location next to Honda Bay, restaurant and airport, restaurant and places. Also, in walking distance of the City Centre.

    Spacious room with a lovely garden view. Really good airport shuttle service! The staff were genuinely great.

    Besides, the location was peaceful for our stay, within 25 minutes' walk of a city park. The room was perfect and spotless, ideal for 1 night.

    helpful staff
    fresh meals

    It was just a fine choice for a short interlude in Puerto Princesa with definitely value for money. The staff helped carry my bags upon arrival, a nice touch. Make sure to ask for fresh fish options for meals. They were delicious!

    delicious curry
    wonderful massage
    hot water issue

    I had a delightful stay here! The green curry was the best I’ve ever tasted, and the massage was incredibly relaxing. Just a heads-up, the hot water system could be temperamental, but it didn't ruin my experience!

    hospitable staff
    really good massages
    squeaky beds
    limited breakfast menu

    The staff were wonderfully hospitable. The massages were quite really good and provided a soothing escape. The breakfast menu felt limited and underwhelming for the price paid.
