We ended up leaving wIthin 2 hours and they didn't even refunded us our payment. They told us to call booking.com and I did. But then booking.com told me that the resort doesn't want to refund my payment. I paid $500+ and I lost that money This place is bogus. It showed they have ocean near them and when we get there it's filtHy. The room is not worth what I paid for and the wifi and TV are not working. I booked so many hotels and resorts around the world and it's sad to say this is the worst. I'm posting actual pictures we took in the resort and the room so beware and avoid this place. Oh btw, I cannot even rate this place in booking.com. So just imagine how a big rip off this place is. Don't trust this place and even those reviews in booking.com or other app. These are bogus and not worth your money.

We came for a family vacation and wanted to be close to the water so we picked this place. The…read morehotel comes to the airport to pick you up in a shuttle with water and provides cool towels. You drive to a semi remote road to get to the hotel. Once you walk in, the check in desk is next to an open dining area that opens on an infinity pool and beach in the background. Each room is a beach house so it's really cute. The bathroom has a shower without any doors that drains in the floor. Each room comes with a good air conditioning unit and the curtains do a good job of blocking out the sun when fully closed. Outside patio has chairs with long arms to dry your clothes. The only worry I had was that the outside sliding doors are tricky to lock. The pool was nice to swim in and it was very peaceful. It was cool to see the tide coming in and out every day while swinging in a hammock. Breakfast is buffet style and they start early for those that have tours. They also make omelets, pancakes, and eggs for you on request. My only complaints are the walls are a little thin so you can hear everything and you have to travel to get anywhere since it's a bit remote. I think it does add to the charm, but be prepared to travel some when you come here.

Even though there are closer hotels, if you are looking for something quiet or romantic with a beautiful grounds at a good price, this is the place. Even though food isn't allowed in the room (to avoid any potential ant problems) the restaurant has good food at a reasonable price. If you want to experience a restaurant where the locals eat, walk out the property, take a left, walk about 15 min and cross the freeway. You have now arrived at"Kainato." I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong, however, I was told it means, "Lets eat"in Tagalog. Anyway the hotel staff, including house keeping, the (I think) Australian gentleman and the Filipina lady at the front desk were the best. Thanks for everything and I hope to see you again very soon!!

Now my complaints,,,,, they need to upgrade their door locks because you can literally open the room door from the hallway using a credit card.

I changed my room because of this and new room had same problem. And with staff we tried other door and credit card popped open the door . Now my only other problem was the cold swimming pool .

Oh and did I mention the private snorkeling spot 3mins off the island with free boat transfers every half hour? Food is fine, nothing stellar but friendly prices and enough to choose from. Breakfast is included too, so why wouldn't you check it out?!

Amazing place! This…read moreresort is one place where I say it matches or exceeds what you see on social media. The staff are wonderful, and the cabins are super nicely equipped. It's about 2 hr drive from PPS airport, but the resort can arrange transportation for you. Plenty of activities for you to do here. Go do the banyan forest tour, Zipline, get a massage on the beach, and drink coconuts. We came here during Christmas and it was pretty cool that all of the staff were involved in the dinner entertainment too.

* 1900th Review *…read more That picture perfect paradise you've seen on a postcard? That is Daluyon Resort in real life. A two hour car ride from the island's main airport, Daluyon is a beachfront property that's located on a small fishing village on Palawan's West side. While most backpackers and tourists head to El Nido or Coron, this has more of a local feel. Most of the staff call Daluyon home, not only because of its gorgeous surroundings, but also because they are from Palawan. And why wouldn't you stay here? you can wake up to the sounds of the waves lapping against the shore. All their accommodations are 2 story bungalows which felt private and luxurious. The wide balconies with rocking chairs was perfect for watching island wake up. You don't even need to leave the room until you're ready to eat breakfast since coffee and tea is provided. Speaking of food, you can take a short walk to town for super cheap lunches and dinners, but since we were treating ourselves (and the resort's food was so affordable anyway) we ate mostly at the restaurant. The food is top notch with sumptuous flavors and delicious dishes that's sure to satisfy every craving. If you're here on a weekend, take advantage of their very romantic dinner on the beach and pay the extra 300 pesos (about $6) for the set up. It felt like a scene straight out of the "Bachelor" and it was worth experiencing sand on your toes while you feed each other fried calamari :) If you're thinking staying at this quiet town will have you bored in two seconds flat, that's where you're wrong. Aside from the usual relaxing on the beach while reading Game of Thrones, the resort provides equipment to keep you physically engaged with nature: kayaks, scuba gear, snorkeling stuff, etc. When you get tired, head to the swim up bar and refresh with a Pina Colada. If the tropical heat gets to you and you prefer to be in the shade, order a "Halo-Halo", a typical Filipino dessert made with crushed ice, beans, tapioca balls, rice crispies, milk and ice cream. MMM! Aside from having the mountains as your backdrop and the beach at your disposal, the biggest plus of staying at Daluyon Resort is its close proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage site Puerto Princesa Underground River. It's only a 20 minute boat ride! that saved us precious time, especially since my schedule didn't allow for an extended stay on the island. We've had a very memorable stay at Daluyon and we can't wait to return soon, because we all know, it's #morefuninthePhillippines!

First, they have beach access during the day where you can chill at the sandbar after canoeing about 10 minutes. It is quite beautiful there, and you'll enjoy it any time for. 8-9 am or after 4pm. Second, the breakfast is legit with both Filipino and Western items. They have lots of condensed milk for coffee or your bread / desserts. Definitely do not miss the noodle station. You can get the glass noodles or egg based noodles. For lunch you can check out the restaurant that serves Italian / Filipino cuisine. The four seasons pizza is to die for, and so is the seafood plate. Try out the Filipino desserts, or top off your meal with a chill pina colada. Last but not least, the pool is by far the greatest amenity. They do an excellent job keeping it clean, and it's extremely beautiful day or night. I highly recommend trying to procure a room with direct pool access! Thank you awesome service members !

Every staff greets you with a smile on their face along with a hand in their heart. It was uniform everywhere. The hotel room in 5316 overlooked the view of the resort in general. The amenities are taken care of even if you forgot your toothbrush. The cuisine in house has a nice selection of Italian meals for western tastes or traditional Filipino meals to get that local flavor. Make sure to go to their breakfast buffet. But the highlight of the trip is the amazing pool that envelops a good portion of the resort that interconnects to the kids section that includes slides and activities for your ones. Princessa Garden Island is a gem hidden in one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. If you want to escape, this is a must in Palawan Philippines.

Unfortunately the service was still slow and one meal came but the other didn't. We had several issues with service; messages not being passed to us, asking for a crib and receiving a cot, being told our room was being cleaned at the moment and then 2 hours later being told the same thing etc. The saving grace was that the resort is on an absolutely beautiful beach, and is a close walk to some shops. Plus, I am still dreaming of that ube cheesecake.

By the help of our local cousins, they helped book this vacation which included everything on our checklist. Beachside views, massages steps away, and awesome activities to keep us active.
