Find Resorts in Palawan, Philippines

We booked Coron Westown Resort mainly because they offered a family room style of accommodations. Instead of spending more for two rooms, it was the perfect room for five people. The location is about twenty minutes from the airport but shuttles to and from the airport is provided for a very minimal fee. It was also perfectly located about 10 minutes away from the town which made it a quiet and secluded resort from the busy and noisy town atmosphere. An inexpensive tricycle ride is the best way to the town for restaurants and shopping. The resorts pool, bar and live entertainment, gave us things to do when we stayed in. We would definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Coron or I would for the same hotel chain the the other Palawan islands.

The best hotel in Palawan, Sabang area. This place is very quiet and very close to the underground river, nice swimming pools and beach front. Very clean and staff so friendly. We love the variety of breakfast they serve. The only thing they need to improve is the wifi in the rooms. We can't get any signal and we have to go to the restaurant to get a decent connection

Cauayan Resorts was amazing! My wife and loved our stay at the resort. It was my first time to the Philippines and Palawan and I loved it! The resort was fairly new but there were no kinks to be worked out. The staff was great and my wife and I really felt like we had the island to ourselves! The food was delicious and our beach villa was amazing! The snorkeling was a ton of fun and the next time we come back we will definitely stay at Cauayan Resorts! The only thing that we did not get to do was island hop so we will make sure to put that on our agenda the next time!

My kids enjoyed the pool. Superb service, polite staff, filipino dishes during breakfast buffet are very tasty. We had been into different hotels and resorts and yes, the rooms may not be a cozy carpeted 5 star type, but hey-it is a resort type and the floor tiles will always be wet and sandy coming home from pool or sandbar outside. Plus complimentary banana boat,sandbar access, kayak, stand paddle, access to floating restaurant,free use of billiards and dartboards, free use of gym and bikes. However, they keep the room clean everyday and will always povide you with fresh towels. Moreso, i dont know why the other reviews state few food choices, this is by far the best breakfast buffet with a lot of tasty variants compared to other 4 or 5 Star we have been in other countries. No other hotels nearby or in Puerto Princesa Palawan can match what this hotel has to offer in terms of amenities, courteousness and service. You can even see their amazing landscape thru the plane window before landing. Highly recommended for families with young children. Just enjoy the view, the pool, food and your stay at the hotel, explore what they have to offer and have great bonding moments with your kids. Not recommended for loners/ backpackers and for those who have several tour itineraries everyday, better find a lodge or inn to sleep at night to get the best value for money. Will surely come back soon. They deserved my 9.5/10 rating, 0.5 for the other facilities they can still improve.

Everything was put together so well and it was so organized. The staff I would give a million stars to. They were always happy and helpful. The food, drinks, vibe was just perfect. We took advantage of all the activities they had to offer and each was just as good as the one before. Best massage of my life was here. We can’t wait to go back again. If I had to give any criticism it would be to find ways to have us stay longer. After our three day trip we probably did and saw everything. Which was perfect. But if we were to stay longer I could see some days repeating itself. Which would not be a bad thing at all. But I would love to stay there for two weeks next time with ways of avoiding repetition entirely. Besides that, this destination should be a bucket list location for anyone reading this review. 1000 stars.

Bluewave a family owned hotel was the best hotel from pick up in the airport to the room, the food they offered and all the staff, words cannot describe the four days we have spent in the hotel it was unforgettable. The hotel is very clean and it is very safe. All the Staff especially Alex, Faye and Ralf they went above and beyond to help us get settled and whatever we need from tours, restaurant recommendations and rides to the town. Ralf even went out of his way to get my son the chocolate dessert he liked at one of the restaurant. We really appreciate it. We also met the owner Mr. Oh a nice guy and Ms. Jasmine his niece very nice people down to earth. I have been raving this hotel with my friends too so if they ever come to Coron, Palawan. Next time we will stay longer and stay with Bluewave.

I recommend this resort who’s planning to go in Coron, palawan. We stayed for 7 days and 6 nights, and it feels so comfortable. All I can say is that, the place is so Peaceful and the ambience is perfect! Staffs are very hospitable. Very hands on to their guest. Everything is perfect here in Coron underwater resort. Food is also great, so you don’t need to worry, they served the best food. You’ll never regret this place. I’m definitely coming back. Deserves a 5 star!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had selected Apulit as our starting point to our 3 weeks in Philippines to rest and relax as we had to travel for 24 hours to reach the country. Initially we had planned to stay for 3 nights, but opted to extend to 4 nights once there as we really didn’t want to leave this place. We traveled to the hotel by using ITI and from the moment we step out of the taxi at their private terminal we started 4 days of pure relaxation. I would recommend using ITI as the trip to the hotel in itself is a experience in it self (unless you are nervous about flying with small planes) and offers some beautiful sights from air and boat as well as a hassle free transfer. The resort itself is a beautiful paradise with 6 star service and exceptional staff, that really gives that little extra to your holiday. If you don’t like lying around in the sun all day there’s plenty of activities that can be booked (most of them are free). A nice surprise was that all food was included, something that we hadn’t realized when we booked. My girl friend is a vegetarian and although they lacked any tofu or beans in general, once the chef learned about this he prepared something special for her each evening which was much appreciated. The only hick up was the private van that we booked through the resort, that was going to take us to El Nido town after our stay didn’t show up so we had to wait for 1-2 hours in Taytay until they could find a replacement. But 2 guides from the resort stayed with us the whole time and gave us a tour of the old fort there, which just shows the level of services you can expect. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for and we are definitely going back if we visit the Philippines again.

We went to El Rio with our 2yo and 10mo kids. An all-in-one beachfront resort like this is a real find, as all the boat trips required to see the sights of Palawan are frankly too challenging with babies and toddlers. We spent 6 days at the resort and never felt the need to go anywhere. The diving and scuba are super right on the house reef, the spa has lots of services and trained professionals, and there are activities organized for kids and adults each day such as kayaking in the mangroves and jewelry making for kids. There is a kids pool and nice sloped shallow area off the main pool that are ideal for young kids, and they have pool toys on hand. Staff are warm and friendly and really try to accommodate all requests. We spent a rainy afternoon in the videoke room, but the library was out of service during our stay. Best of all is the food. We live in Manila and have found that F&B is consistently lacking at even 5-star resorts in the Philippines. At El Rio, we ate something different every day and were very happy with the Western cooking, even if some dishes were a bit too oily and there are quite a few fried items. Our cedar cabana was spacious enough for the baby to toddle around and we adored having the hammock and loungers on the patio and outside to sit and enjoy the start and night sky. It's also great that the only noises are those of nature and the live band. We saw monitor lizards, hundreds of fish, mudskippers, birds, butterflies...endless fauna to admire for the kids! The resort is amazingly stroller friendly, too. We will definitely be back with friends and family.

This place was great. The staff are friendly and understand English well. They will pick you you and drop you off from the airport for free (only about 5 minutes drive). There is a restaurant on-site which serves good food. There is also an outdoor pool and hot tub. Be warned: most of the hotels in Palawan advertise WiFi, and they do have it, but it is not consistent. It regularly disconnects and/or operates very slowly. Do not expect to use WiFi regularly on your trip. This resort is within walking distance of much of Puerto's hotels, restaurants, and bars near the airport. You may schedule island-hopping and Underground River tours with the resort, tricycle drivers, or other agencies. The unit was fine. I had a Standard room, which has a bed, a side table, a desk, a mini-fridge (with refreshments for an additional charge), a TV, a wardrobe, a bathroom with running water, and a heated shower. It was clean and fine for a solo traveler or couple.

stayed only one night as i bounced through coron on my way back from el nido,and i'm glad i chose to stay here. first, the korean couple who run the place are awesome. the woman said she worked for 7 years in a travel agency in boracay and it shows -- she has an amazingly good customer-service oriented disposition -- nothing is too much trouble to ask. and her english skills are superb. in fact, they both asked me to join them at a korean restaurant that night. sadly, i turned down the invite as i wanted to swim and needed some sleep. but what amazing hospitality! the hotel itself is super quiet at night. it was the best sleep i had in my week on palawan. the rooms have high ceilings, quiet aircon and very comfortable beds (two big beds in my room). totally relaxing. and the shower!! really the best i've ever seen in a hotel. strong water, piping hot, and with every kind of adjustment you could think of for a shower. the pool was great -- deep enough for swimming, and the changing colors at night make for a great ambiance. the breakfast the next morning was really good, and they have these gazebo areas where you can sit and have coffee and access the free wifi (not really available in the rooms). the staff are all smiling and friendly. the hotel is about a 5 minute trike ride from central coron, but they have a free trike service until about 9pm at night. just be aware that getting a trike back at night will be tough if you are on the more remote road between the city and hotel. i walked back, feeling kind of scared witless after being conditioned to be afraid of everything living in manila -- but when i got to the hotel, some people told me that it wasn't a dangerous area. still, take a trike just to be sure. not sure what else i can say about it other than it was an incredibly positive experience, a great hotel, and i would actually choose to visit coron again just knowing that sunz hotel is there.

My family of seven booked 2 rooms at Doublegem last minute before the peak season of the Holy Week in the Philippines. I was very concerned that we were left with the worst hotel available in El Nido since every hotel I called were booked. What an amazing surprise from the time we arrived on the 27th of March, the hotel manager Gary made every effort to accommodate our needs. The front desk staffs Chiehl and Jifany (??? not sure of spelling), bent over backwards to find us the better rooms that will fit my kids need. We ended up in a room with pool access instead of one with 5 minutes walk to the pool and the beach. The amazing sunset view from the pool is an unforgettable sight. The restaurant foods were exceptional including the free breakfast buffet. The hotel staff ensures that they can make a difference in every little way they can, from refilling your service water to setting your table for breakfast. I plan to come back with my brothers and sisters who did not join me this trip

Here is the wonderful place to stay in Palawan. When you visit Palawan, you might expect something natural, fresh air and good food. Here resort has all of them. Swimming pool is just much more better than other place. Whem sum rising is amazing view. Just clam and good to stay here. Donot worry about going to city. There is shuttle to go to Robinson place. It's convineint enough. I strongly recommend you to stay here. Here is one more tip. If your group is about 6, here is the best place to stay. When you go tour, this resort is a little bit far from city, you could use tour van just your group. This is the best thing we stay here. Underground river tour is ver far away from city.

I noticed in all reviews that Astoria Palawan’s customer service excellence has always been commended. I can attest to that because I experienced that when I, my parents, my husband and two children and my brother booked 2 nights in this awesome resort. The de luxe room was like a home away from home and has adjoining rooms painted in bright colors. The waterpark was breath taking and the food was great. Their nurse was super helpful when one if us had stomach upset. What’s best about this resort are the staff’s welcoming greetings and bright smiles and yes, Mr John John’s smile too. The welcome refreshments were yummy. Even if it’s s bit far from the city, its totally worth it. I arranged for underground tour and we were happy with it, as we did not wait long for our qeue. Even others who gave this resort a not so high review, they still put in a good word about Astoria Palawan customer services, it is so far if I may say do, the best.

It was my birthday trip to Palawan, and it was one of the most memorable vacations I've ever had! Being my first time in Palawan, I had no expectations. Yet my stay at Dos Palmas was over my imagination. The rooms were great, the bed the shower the balcony were all cozy and comfortable. We even had bicycles available for rent to get around the hotel grounds. The beach was just within reach, and the restaurant offered fantastic food and the staff were superb. The bartender was particularly fantastic, thank you for the hospitality. Guests were offered complimentary activities such as snorkeling, island-hopping and kayaking. This was great for us! On my birthday itself, I was surprised by a cake and a staff entourage for birthday songs and cake cutting. It was truly sweet and special. Thank you Dos Palmas, we will surely come back if the opportunity arises. Cheers! :)

We booked our room at Acacia after reading the other reviews and browsing the website and weren't disappointed. The hotel is only a few minutes away from the airport and the the shuttle service was convenient, although an extra 300 pesos (tricycle driver offered to do the same trip for 30 pesos). When we arrived at the hotel the staff was welcoming and check in was easy. Our flight arrived quite early, but we were allowed to check in early without charge. The room was large, spacious and well-designed. The bathroom was also top quality and every inch was clean and sparkling when we got there. It's obvious the management here does an excellent job and the ground are meticulously maintained as is the pool. The tropical garden setting erases any thoughts about being close to the airport and is far enough from the city center to avoid the noise, but still a short ride to restaurants and nightlife. The highlight was certainly the attentive and ultra friendly staff, who did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The only downside of this hotel, as others have mentioned, is the restaurant. Although breakfast is included, you'd be wise to take a short ride to a cafe or restaurant for a decent meal. In the end, we would certainly return when we're in Palawan again next.

Hotel was beautiful, with well-kept grounds and an amazingly friendly staff. It is located a bit far from the main strip (relative term since El Nido is a small town), but that can be either a good or a bad thing depending on your point of view. There is free wifi in the lobby, but that would also be a complaint: there´s only free wifi in the lobby. Considering that all of the restaurants and cheaper hostels in town can provide wifi throughout their properties, I don´t see why the Garden Beach resort can´t. All in all, it was a fine hotel, but relatively expensive for Palawan and El Nido.

It only got better! This place is hands down the best resort in the Philippines. Everyone here is just too sweet and so amazing. When people talk about Filipino hospitality, you think of Two Seasons Resort and Spa. The welcoming greeting with drinks and snack. The whole staff went out of their way to take care of you. When you go on a tour a staff comes to the tour to serve your food. This is a five star resort and worth every penny!

from the moment when you get out of this tiny plane at el nido's airport and you see this bunch of local women singing for you to the moment when you step into the boat and see the whole hotel staff singing and saying good bye from the peer, you're surrounded by incredible people caring about you and making sure you're enjoying your stay at el nido resorts miniloc island. staff in this hotel is probably my best experience in the world in terms of service. but let's start with the beginning. the hotel is located on a very nice paradise remote island close to el nido. you get there from el nido's airport with a small boat. everything is arranged by the hotel. as far as i remember, also the transfer from manilla to palawan was arranged by the hotel. location is incredible: blue green water like dotted with dozens of small uninhabited islands with karstic cliffs. if you want to explore the surroundings, you can book a canoe at the hotel (for free) and paddle up to the lagoon (only 5 minutes). amazing experience. i went there for diving. the diving centre was very professional. i did a lot of dives, including night dives. during my last night dive, i got stung by a sea urchin. i was immediately taken care of by a doctor, who permanently works at the hotel. he gave me the right treatment and i was fine the following morning. food as the hotel was very good. it is served in a buffet-style. but the staff is preparing the dishes in front of you. the chef shows up every day for lunch and dinner to chat with customers and gets something ready for you in front of you on a simple request. my room was the only disappointing point. it was very simple, even a bit old, decorated in a local style. it was not uncomfortable, but not really in line with the price paid. the hotel's owner has another very nice hotel (with a large swimming pool and a very good restaurant), just 15 minutes away by boat. you can go from one hotel to the other very easily with the shuttle.

We only planed to stay there for two nights to calm down and relax, before we wanted to go on Islandhopping and explore palawan with our backpacks - and ended up extanding for two more nights! We really enjoyed hanging out at the bar, with an international standart of drinks and service by John and the whole team. The drinks were ready before we knew what we actually wanted. Sharon and Jojo were very welcoming and did everything to make us feel comfortable! We will come back to blue palawan for sure! A hidden mekka for every Kiteboarder. Such a great scenery along the shore! Just check the wind season.

Club Paradise did not disappoint! From meeting us at the airport up to our departure, Club Paradise provided superb service. It was not just a "stay" at a resort. It was an experience. From the refreshments provided during transfer and upon arrival at the resort, to the complimentary welcome foot massage, to the afternoon snacks delivered to your bungalow - it was the attention to details that set it apart from other luxury hotels. We celebrated a birthday and the resort provided no less than 3 lovely surprises spread out throughout the day! Cake, balloons and birthday song included hahaha it was very thoughtful! The sunset bungalow was cozy and clean. Air conditioning worked perfectly. Bed was comfortable. Shower water pressure was good as well. The sunset outside was spectacular. The beach was wonderful. Enough space for everyone along the pristine white beach. Though the resort was fully booked, it did not feel crowded at all. The water was the typical Palawan clear blue water. I just stood ankle deep in the water but I could see fishes swimming nearby. Dinner was served on the beach under a blanket of stars while musicians serenaded you in the background. The staff was outstanding! Loved the band too! Should I visit Coron in the future, I would definitely stay here again.

In February 2017 my Filipina GF and I stayed at the Coron Soleil Garden Resort for a week. The resort is very clean, the room was good: an excellent big bed and a very nice shower (with warm water). In the resort the WiFi was working well outside our room; inside the room the speed was reduced but fine for WhatsApp and in the restroom we had no connection. The staff is friendly and helpful; making our stay wonderful. The resort is only a short drive by trike from Coron Town (about 5 minutes). Usually there are a few trikes waiting outside the resort, we only had to wait once for a trike which came within 10 minutes to pick us up to go to town. The only downside of the resort is that the pool bar closes at 10pm, which was a bit early for us; unless you have done some island hopping then you're probably tired enough at that time to go to sleep. The breakfast is good if you like a Philippine breakfast (which I do); there's also an egg station where staff can create your scrambled, soft/hard boiled eggs. So that's excellent! We had a very good stay at this resort. Coron is very beautiful. I full recommend this resort for either relaxing in the resort or to go to some island hopping.

The best thing about Huma is its staff. They were excellent, and bent over backwards to be able to deliver service. Having experienced other luxury places in Palawan, I would say that the value for money of the accommodation needs to improve. Other than that, the food and services were reasonably priced. The SPA facilities and services are excellent. I loved that whole experience. It would be good for Huma to invest in its own diving facilities and Dive Masters. That is not quite mentioned in the website. One therefore automatically assumes that it is available but instead one needs to go another accredited Dive Shop who has a Dive Master. Perhaps as we were there on low season, only one restaurant is open per night. I understand it on an economy of scale. But there's limited variety on each menu. I can still tolerate that but what I didn't get is that in that limited menu, most of the time, one or two items would not be available. For example there will be three items for dessert on the menu, but only one would actually be available. Not quite impressive for a 5 star property. The gym also needs work. One of the air-conditioning units and one of the treadmills were not working. Jet Ski facilities were available but when we went only one was also functioning. So while we wanted to use two so some of us could jet ski together, that was not possible. Having said that, the snorkeling area around the beach front was good. The food and services were commendable. Overall, I had a very good experience. And again kudos to the staff for the fantastic service.

When you go search for rooms to stay in Coron, Palawan, most likely you return with two types of accommodation. There are the numerous budget hotels that you can commonly find in the town center and are close to the port where you take off for your island hopping or other water activities. On the opposite spectrum are the luxury resorts that are remote but expectedly having the best amenities. It is quite challenging to find mid-range resorts that are accessible and affordable while providing well appointed amenities... until I learned about Busuanga Bay Lodge. It is accessible from the town center (45 mins), got deluxe amenities (infinity pool, own beach front, docking station, bar, cafe, water activities), where rooms are huge including the bathroom (king bed, down pillow, duvet, office desk, snack bar that gets refilled daily, flat screens, rain shower, toiletries, clean-as-new sheets and towels). There villa-type layout provides you a great deal of privacy too. They provide guests an easy access around the resort with their Club Cars. The arrangement from transfers to planned activities are well laid out, they even plan out your late check out to usher you just in time for your departure. The staff are pros in what they do. I was most impressed at how the room service accommodated our request for in-room breakfast because we were too lazy to join the buffet at the pavillion. They set the breakfast up with all the works and arrived timely despite our last-minute request. I enjoyed the infinity pool, overlooking landscapes and the calm waters of Busuanga Bay. The best part were the island hopping and diving activities we arranged using a speedboat. Two itineraries that shouldn't be missed are the Coral Garden and WW2 wrecks. Palawan is indeed best explored underwater. The things not working for BBL to me are the food quality and choices, the dirt road leading to the resort, wifi and network connectivity. The last three do matter so I'm giving this a 4/5.

We've been one month in the Philippines in several islands and, with that knowledge, and I can arguably say that this is the best place we stayed in our trip. The place itself is a joy, starting by its beautiful garden where the villas are located. It's one of the few places where we really wanted to spend time, just sitting in the terrace for talking, having a coffee or a beer or a bath in the private jacuzzi or the pool (in comparison to other places that are just ok for sleep or rest). Room was quite large, with real space for opening your luggage. Even in more expensive places, we usually had no cabinet or no place to leave the luggage. In Coco we had both. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant, while a bit pricey, has an outstanding menu with some french cuisine nuances and has, with no doubt, best breakfast in Philippines ever (including home-made yogurt and brioche bread, very rare in Ph.). Beach is 1 min walk distance, where all island tours depart

We booked in here for the last 3 days of our 3 week journey. We loved staying here. We didn't leave the hotel much, except to walk to a local shop for water, and a few other necessities. We laid by the pool all day and ate in the restaurant when we were hungry. One night we wanted something different, and had food delivered to the room. It was so convenient, we loved it. We would absolutely stay here again. the room was super clean and modern, compared to other places we stayed on Palawan. We felt like VIP while we were there. Great WiFi on the whole grounds. The do all the small things there, and as we all know, its the small things that matter most! The only downside is that there is no much within walking distance so if you want to go shopping or to a more touristy part of town, you would need to take a tricycle. But for our stay it was perfect.

My boyfriend and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago, for 4 nights and it was truly amazing! Palawan is stunning, and this resort is in the perfect location. The little huts are gorgeous, pool is amazing, and the staff are the best we have ever come by! So helpful and so lovely. The only downside was the wifi, and the dinner menu could have been a little more extensive, but this is being fussy! The wifi was bad in Palawan in general, so it definitely wasn't just Buko! If we go back to Palawan, we are definitely staying at Buko!

You can see the beautiful sunset/sunrise view from the pool area (and also if you book a sea view room). I actually booked a standard non seaview but I was lucky as the staff were nice enough to put me and my girlfriend in a seaview suite with a balcony overlooking the sea and sunset. I really appreciate that. The room was clean and was cleaned everytime we requested, we just had to leave our key at the front desk. Breakfast option was pretty good with a Filipino and Western selection. You can book tours and transport here too. It’s near to the central town and lots of restaurants nearby. The shower were pretty slow but you have to expect that in Palawan most hotels showers are slow..
