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.

Very clean and spacious rooms . And they have comp airport shuttle . 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. Their doors do not have the guard which would prevent this so be careful until they remedy this security problem ! Management was notified . 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 . Nothing more I hate is when I can't go swimming in a beautiful pool because it's cold !!!!!! One of the reasons I booked this hotel besides I am a rewards member . And there's really no property grounds to walk around on. But we had a very 3 night stay .

I was quite impressed by the Astoria Palawan Resort. The resort is beautifully situated very close…read moreto the water. We were here for three nights. But what impressed me most was the front desk, restaurant, accommodations, tour plans and water park. The front desk was prompt to our needs. They made every effort to ensure that my girl friend and I were satisfied and having a great experience. We were upgraded immediately when our landline phone was not working. The restaurant's breakfast and dinners were delicious. A taco night, who would have known. For breakfast, main dishes were changed daily giving you an opportunity to taste something new. Each night, a fire show capped off a wonderful evening. The accommodations were very good. The pillows and bed were vey comfortable. I liked that the shower and toilet area being separated giving us privacy. The tour plan was convenient and prompt. The tour vans were on time and they was no waiting. Tour plans were for many wonderful locations. We went island hopping one day. It included snorkeling in many locations over coral reefs and a lunch on one small island. Our other tour was to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. This is something I will never forget. We also did a Mangrove tour by indigenous locals and zip lining nearby. What a wonderful trip created by the tour planners for us. The water park was amazing. Many slides and lots of water. Additionally, the water was very clean and there were many life guards on duty. I will go back or visit one of their other resorts.

The buffet breakfast wasn't that good, but the lunch/dinner food is good (halo halo, ube cheesecake, sinigang with lechon!). We were in a rush one day so we pre-ordered lunch. 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. Word to the wise, don't go tanning before your massage. The light-skinned Filipino in me thought it would be smart to get aggressively sun-burnt, and still get a massage. No bueno. Other than that, a great way to experience Palawan for the first time, a must for anyone visiting not only the Philippines, but Southeast Asia!

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!

Whoa...This is a true island paradise…read more I found this resort by using Yelp. Thanks again Yelpers for leading me in the right direction. I guess I hadn't really done my complete research on this place because I didn't know that we were going to a totally secluded island resort. We took a plane, then a 40 minute van ride, then a 1 hour boat ride. The journey there is part of the fun. Here are some things you might want to know when you are traveling to Dos Palmas Isand Resort and Spa: *There is an older man on the boat ride to the island who will make things out of palm fronds and he will give them to you. He will not ask for money or tips but just know that he is doing this for tips. This is probably the only payment he will receive for being on the boat, helping you get on and off the boat and helping you with your life jacket. Please tip him! *There are no outside amenities on this island. No shops to purchase resort wear, no vendors selling outside food or trinkets, no stores selling food or drinks. (There is a VERY small gift shop that sells a couple of things.) I would recommend bringing a few snack items to have in your room. *If I came here again, I would bring a few inflatable pool tubes. I thought they might sell them here, but they don't. *The only wifi is in the restaurant. It is terrible! I wouldn't plan on using your phone or ipad while you are here. I couldn't get a wifi connection the entire time we were here. *The one and only restaurant has a rather limited menu but we found the food to be quite good. Aside from the pizza, everything else we ordered surpassed our expectations. The breakfast buffet is included in the price of your room...this was also quite good. *They have free coffee and tea available all day. *The rooms are nice and quiet. We could not hear any of our neighbors. we enjoyed our stay at Dos Palmas and we would not hesitate to stay here again. We were here at the end of March and it wasn't tourist season yet. The weather was perfect and the resort wasn't crowded.

Wow, an island of fun, good food, beach and sun. A very good place to escape from the grid (no TV…read moreor internet). Slow internet is not considered on the grid IMO. They have tons of options in activities: island hopping, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. They also have lap pool and a regular swimming pool. The water in their pool is seawater. They have a full size basketball court where you can play with the staff who stays in the island. They have karaoke rooms, pool table, foosball, table tennis, and a tennis court. Food is also without a question, enjoyable. But we find Sheridan's food better in terms of flavor. Everyone here is nice, service is excellent. Highly recommend this place if you want to get away from technology. My only gripe is the unnecessary island orientation when you first arrive. They'll hand out the schedule of activities. Unless you're really that dumb, the orientation wasn't needed, it was rather time consuming coz they wont start unless every guest are present.

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 !

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.
