Overall the resort is nice. It needs maintenance. Maintenance was ongoing in one of the bldgs. Ours had no hot water for 2 days. They also charged $5 daily for an extra blanket.

Overall the hotel is nice but not a 4 star accommodation. Needs lots of maintenance. Work was ongoing. Hopefully when finished the resort will be modern and nicer. Paid $5 per night for an extra blanket in our room for our son. Very excessive. Limited dinning options and selection for international travelers. Pool area was nice, sandbar area not so much. Courteous staff overall. Hot water was inoperative for 2 nights of our 4 night stay. If we travel to Palawan again we will try another area. Puerto Princessa is not a travel destination for beach or relaxation.

I particularly liked the Crepe lady, her service, she pays attentions to details of crepe, she makes. The breakfast and the way access to the pool from rooms was the highlights. I would definitely recommend others to this property. Just like my friend recommended me.

We got the double pool room and so glad we did! We loved having a private pool entrance and being on the ground floor right next to the restaurant. The resort itself is about 10 minutes drive from the main part of town but it was easy to grab a tuk tuk from the front gate any time we wanted to go in to town. Having the resort out of the town gave way for a super peaceful and quiet getaway and the whole place is so beautiful. Staff is polite and helpful and we will definitely be back!

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.

They advertised a private beach that wasn’t available at the time we stayed. The patio chaise didn’t look clean. The AC unit had dust build up on the vent area and it looked like there may have been water damage in different spots on the ceiling. We checked out the next morning.

I recently stayed at Garden Island Resort in Palawan for a short two-night visit. While I truly appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the staff — they were consistently warm and accommodating — unfortunately, the overall condition of the resort left a lot to be desired. The grounds were noticeably unkempt, with many areas appearing neglected and dilapidated. While there were some spots that seemed to receive attention, large portions of the resort were in disrepair. The most glaring example was the area near the sandbar and pier. Though highlighted on the resort’s map, in reality, it was far from a picturesque spot — rotten wood, crumbling structures, and debris scattered around made it feel more abandoned than inviting. The food was mediocre at best, with limited variety and only a few restaurant options available. This added to the overall feeling that the resort lacked the level of care and quality one would expect from a vacation destination. While I’m grateful for the excellent service provided by the staff, the condition of the resort itself unfortunately overshadowed their efforts. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend Garden Island Resort to others looking for a well-maintained and enjoyable getaway.

Princesa Garden is amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There was construction during our stay but it didn't really bother us since we were out and about during the loud part of the construction. The area is secluded which means you will need a vehicle to get town and back. Front desk is very helpful with getting us a taxi to take us to the shopping center.

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.

Overall, ok. A positive is that they’re almost complete with a new spa and have a new fitness center! Room is ok, nothing to rave about. I Wasn’t wild about a “mandatory” Christmas Eve buffet and we felt it should be optional!

Overall the hotel is great. Our suite was very nice and big. Pool is huge! Was able to swim laps with no problems. Spa was very nice, massages were got were so good we tried to do a round 3 but didn't have enough time. The Japanese restaurant on the roof top was very good! However make sure you are not starving when you head there, slow service when busy, took about 30 minutes to get sashimi. Would eat there more if we had more than the 3 days we were there. The Itilian restaurant by the pool is SO SO SO slow!!!! We had 2 hours before a massage and after an hour and a half we still haven't gotten our food. There was 1 other table other than our 4 people table and we could not get fed. After 3 asks of when our food is coming and we have a 2pm massage I finally told them to cancel all food that wasn't served and we'll just pay for what we had. The server even forgot I asked for ice and I had to go to the bar to get it myself after 5 minutes of waiting as my drink got warm. If you are hungry avoid eating at either the Japanese or Italian restaurants on site, have a snack with you or plan your food times. Overall, would definitely stay there again, the swim up rooms are much quieter than any other swim up rooms I've seen, my fear of screaming children is why we didn't get the swim up room and opted for the suite which is quite a bit more spacious than the swim up rooms. Clean rooms and welcoming staff were all very nice.
