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.

Dos Palmas is in one of the most beautiful parts of the Philippines. Stay on a private island with…read morewhite sandy beaches, a lovely pool area and free activities, check! Cheap food and drinks once your here, check! Friendly and accommodating staff, check! Airport and boat transfer, check! All at 3-4 star prices... so what's the catch? The place hasn't been updated probably since it was built! Clean, but the rooms, kayaks, bikes etc are all 20 years old. But hey, at least they have kayaks! 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?!

We had a really bad experience in this resort. I booked it through Booking.con and the picture in…read morethat app did not match what's reality. 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.

I found this Italian restaurant by using Grok. It was given a 4.8 out of five stars, and it was…read morewithin walking distance of my hotel. As such, I went there with my daughter and her friend seeking something savoury but not having high expectations. In my general experience, a lot of western food in the Philippines is modified to suit the local pallet, usually with the addition of sugar or local vegetable vegetables. Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised. The facility was air-conditioned, which is always nice. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The menu was in Italian and English, which I viewed as a good sign. We ordered a few things and the food was actually fantastic. Not only did a taste authentic, it was genuinely just good. If you're a westerner, are you even a local filipino looking for some delicious food this restaurant might be a good choice. I did not inspect the bathrooms, but my daughter said that was good and they even had tissue available in the bathroom (something to be concerned about in the Philippines). Anyways, we ordered the bruschetta appetizer, I had the mushroom pasta dish, we ordered a Gnocci, a pesto sandwich and three desserts. All the food was fantastic and that the price was very reasonable by western standards. Three of us ate in the restaurant with a takeout for my son that did not attend and the total bill was around 3000 pesos ($65 Canadian dollars or $50 USD) Anyone staying in Puerto Princesa? I'm looking for something different than the local cuisine, then this might be your spot..

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 .
