Find Resorts in Palawan, Philippines

I was quite pessimistic about Sheridan, not being among the more popular resorts in Palawan. I proved myself wrong because my husband and I had a swell and memorable stay. The room we stayed in was spacious, had ammenities equal to those of a real 5-star hotel/resort. You literally just had to bring yourself and your clothes because all toiletries were provided for, including clean bathrobes & new bedroom slippers. We travelled to Palawan mainly to see the Unesco-certified Subterranean River. What could be better than staying just 20 minutes away from the site! Best of all, our two grandchildren,ages 2 & 8, had so much fun playing at the pools and playing at the well-maintained shoreline. We also enjoyed the buffet breakfasts and the barbeque dinner. Congratulations to the management & staff of Sheridan!

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!

Best resort we stayed in Palawan on our 3 week trip. Would have been perfect if it had been located on a nice beach. The " sandbar" they make a big deal out of is , with respect, a waste of time. We had an elite pool access room which was great, would highly recommend. The first resort in Palawan that had good storage space, and the first one with drawers in the room !! Modern decor and great bathroom, very clean. Great pool area and nice little areas to relax. 3 onsite restaurants which were very good as there is nothing to do outside the resort. Excellent service and some great entertainment in the bar on a couple of evenings with some local singers, however if you are under 40 you would probably get bored. Puerto Princessa as a town was very limited.

I really like Matinloc resort in Palawan. The staff was so helpful and respectful. The day manager, Don was so helpful to our needs and accommodations and always lend a hand whenever we need one... We arranged for a private tour to the lagoons and our tour guide, Ryan was so professional and helpful, considering my limited mobility and made sure that the whole family have a great time...Being my first time, I strongly recommend this place to any future vacationers in the Philippines......

We stayed at the resort for 6 days to celebrate our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived to El nido airport they took care of everything! picked us up, took our bags, provided lounge and more. The hotel is on a beautiful tropical island with clear water about 25 min by boat from the airport. Throughout our stay the staff were exceptional, best I seen and I travel a lot. The rooms are very big and comfortable (mostly the beach vila) which is right above the beautiful beach. The food and drinks are pretty good and not very expensive and the massage treatments are amazing in a reasonable price (really recommend to try!) The hotel provides many activities and tours for no costs as well as private tours. Spending the time in the main pool was perfect, the view is one of a kind and the pool water is the perfect temperature. The only things we were surprised about was that the hotel didn't say or do anything about our honeymoon as it wasn't just another vacation for us.

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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful, romantic resort in Palawan. Definitely an adventure to get to, (a chartered plane flight for 1 hour from Manila and then a 45 minute van ride to the boat, and 1.5 hour boat ride to the resort) but once you arrive you know you've arrived to paradise! You stay in a charming, romantic water-hut and have a great view of the sunset and clear ocean water. You will even see fish and baby sharks swimming below! Its all inclusive so all your sports activities and 3 meals a day are included in your daily rate. Great snorkeling ! Amazing reef and fish we've never seen before! Looking forward to visiting other El Nido resorts when we return to the Philippines

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.

Me and my partner stayed at Blue Lagoon for 3 days and 2 nights this July. I got a great deal here in agoda. I've contacted the hotel after I purchased the voucher via their fb page. I got prompt response from my " requests " (a lot).I requested for a tour arrangement since we were only two travelling. Usually tours in Palawan require a specific number of headcount or you have to pay more, but they have managed to book us to their partner travel agencies so we can join other group and save money.You can also travel exclusively if you want to, you just need to pay more-means costs for a group of 6 pax at least.Our room was quite small but enough for two. The room has lcd tv, mini ref, hot and cold shower and very near the pool with jacussi and surrounded by villas. I also requested for airport transfer. The staff were so nice and honest. I left my galaxy phone in the reception area and Kuya Robert (their driver) returned it to me. The staff were all friendly and accomodating. Kudos to them especially to Kuya Robert.We had a great time in Palawan. I will definitely book again on this hotel on our next visit.

A place to stay if you're in Coron Palawan, located abit off the main road. Quiet and peaceful at night. Pool was plus point for us as not many resorts in Palawan has a pool. Room was ok, spacious for us as we booked a Super Family room. The great part was that the pool was just outside the main door, so swimming in the day or night was not an issue for parents with kids. Breakfast was nice and the presentation of the meal itself was inviting. Can try their Korean food if you're having dinner there, not bad. Will definitely return to this resort if given a chance in future. :)

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 have been to many island resorts in Palawan. This has been the most value for money. Probably because the hotel rooms itself are on a rundown, and some are in renovation. It has an eery feel. But we loved the hotel because it is an island in Palawan, and the island is beautiful. HOwever, we were told to cut our trip short by the hotel management because there was a typhoon that time and every guest have to leave in the morning.

It was my first time in Palawan. 3 days before we were staying at a high end resort hotel but since the next 2 days this hotel can't accommodate us anymore, we had to transfer to this property. It's good that I was able to book this in advance because the property was very much patronized by traveler because it is very near the city proper. Although very small compared to our previous accommodation, the very comfortable beds, rightly sized room, very courteous staff and good food more than made up for its deficiency in class.

El Nido Lagen Island is a very peaceful and relaxing Sanctuary. The hike, beach, kayaking, paddleboard all just wonderful. The surrounding area is also amazing. Corals are so healthy and the environmental approach to El Nido Resorts is one that will make these islands last in years to come. The price is extravagant for Philippines standards and many activities ( like island hopping) and food are not included in basic room price. Advertised room price on outlets does not include taxes. The taxes, service charge and supplement package ( for all inclusive) really makes the daily rate very high. It is just important to know when you are looking at this type of resort. The Service was wonderful and employees take care of every need. It was a once in a life time trip and glad we chose Lagen Island. Next time , though I will probably look for a more economical resort if ever in El Nido.

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.

What a fantastic place!!! This is certainly paradise on earth! Superb location, beautifully built and landscaped. We (a family of 4 with 2 children aged 14 and almost 11) stayed for 3 nights at Two Seasons Coron Island Resort and Spa. Facilities - The facilities were excellent! Both our children are certified open water scuba divers and the Aqua center at the resort arranged for two amazing wreck dives for them. The dive master Bonn was so good with our kids, who thoroughly enjoyed their Coron diving experience! We also got to snorkel at the Coral gardens which was just magical! We have never seen such picturesque, colorful coral before! The snorkeling gear, aqua shoes are all free of charge and hence we were able to borrow them everyday to snorkel around the resort area...Yup! you can snorkeling just from the resort itself too - Saw lots of coloured fish and star fish about 15 feet from the beach - couldn't get better than this! The stand up paddle as well as the kayak were free to use and so our kids were in water from 7am to 6pm either snorkeling, kayaking, swimming or up on the stan- up paddle. The swimming pool of the resort is very well designed with a large jacuzzi area. We also used the pool table and enjoyed playing family pool. Food - The food selection and quality (for meals as well as the breakfast) was really very good. However, it was on the expensive side. Accommodation - We had booked for a Hilltop Bungalow (and got to stay in R-502). The location of this was a bit away from the beach. So it was a bit cumbersome to go back once we were at the beach. We would have liked to have a place closer to the beach area. The Beach Bungalows are for 2 adults only, and to get 2 bungalows was a very expensive option hence our selection for the Hilltop Bungalow. The resort has a few golf carts that happily takes the guests from one place to another, which was a treat, especially when feeling tired or lazy to climb up the hill back to the Bungalow. Spa - we

location. one would go to el nido, palawan for r&r and to get away from the hustle & bustle of work. this goal was met by el nido resorts, miniloc island. the hotel is situated in a secluded cove that can only be reached by an outrigger boat from el nido town. it's peaceful, serene and quiet. a perfect getaway from the stress of the city. the beachfront the miniloc island is fantastic! awesome really! just bring your snorkel and walk a few steps from the shore and you're immediately in the beautiful marine world with nemo and his friends. different kinds of fishes can already be seen from the resort, no need to do some island hopping though that one is also something fun to do. we were informed by one of our guides that miniloc island used to be a dive site years ago. hence, the vast variety of fish and sea life living in its area. food. amazing! we booked for the "fullboard" option which meant that buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner were included in our fee and man did our bellies get full! it was a gastronomical treat! the fruits were always fresh. there were many varieties of food to choose from. the hotel has to work on shifting their grill area though. the smoke enters the dining area & annoys the guests. we had to move to a different area of the resto, away from the smoke. staff. the staff in miniloc resorts were nice, friendly and they always respected your privacy. had a hard time communicating through email with their representative from the manila office, though. i have received confirmation about our room booking from the manila office but not about the boat pick up. i had to call a couple of their contact numbers before i was finally able to speak with somebody from the resort in el nido to ask about our boat transfer. it would be great if the resort had a 24-hour hotline or online assistance service. overall, we enjoyed our stay. probably because my husband & i are outdoor enthusiasts. we were happy but not ecstatic.

As a family we enjoyed our stay in Blue Palawan Beach Resort,it was lovely being collected at the airport with fresh flannels and cold bottle of water,then to be greeted at the reception with polite receptionist for checking in and another cool blue lemonade drink which was appreciated.The bungalows were clean and beds confortable,our only concern was that there were no bath mats in the his and hers shower room which we solved by wearing our beach non slippery shoes as my husband is disabled and elderly mother.The staff was very accomodating and recommended our trips which was the highlights of our trip.Food was delicious and we cannot thank enough the attentive staff from the gardener,chef who cooked our breakfast on request ,Sarah,Anna Jason were excellent,Thank you for a marvellous experience.If you want the nightlife you may want to go nearer to town as it may be too quiet for some people but perfect for us!!We hope to visit again and recommend the resort to everyone we know.

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.

Dreaming of going to Maldives got us to Huma instead. Considering the cost for us Filipinos, I can truly say that it is not practical to spend 20K plus for a night but we understand why they have to charge that much. Here are the reasons based on our experience: 1) They will have to pay for the van for the RT Airport transfer . 2) They will have to pay for the RT Boat transfer 3) considering its an island resort, all of the supplies there will have to be transported by a boat 4) The maintenance of all the rooms and resort facilities must be very costly . As per interview with Sir Jay, before Huma could start its operation last 2013, they were hit by the strongest typhoon Yolanda that damaged almost 80% of the resort. So the owner have to rebuild it again ( imagine how much was the cost of the construction?) And now they will be closing the resort to the public by August to end of September to have a renovation again and will be opened to the public by October 2017. CONS: buffet is expensive which is P2500 per pax but it is practical than ordering there by menu. Beach sand is not that fine. PROS: Upon arrival, they will hand you a cold towel and will be greeted by a song and drinks. They transferred us to our room by a buggy in which you will see the beautiful scenery of the place. Our room was very comfy and very colorful!! It was my first time to dip in Jacuzzi and it was awesome and the view!! We are not just lucky to experience the beautiful sunset as it was raining in the afternoon. The bathroom is also big and there is an indoor bathtub with the toiletries L'Occitane which is very nice not to bring home :) Overall, definitely I will recommend it to all future guests and will be looking forward to come back again . More promos please :)

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

If you go to Palawan, don’t stay anywhere else. Munting Paraiso, which means Little Paradise in Tagalog, truly lives up to it’s name. The facility grounds are perfect with a well-landscaped layout which is very pleasing for walking. Each bungalow has it’s own hammock and a porch that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a drink. The pool is the nicest I’ve seen at a summer resort. The staff could not be more helpful and the dining facility serves a great selection of cuisine. There is even a workout facility which is not typical of your normal Puerto Princesa resorts. It is a short drive from the airport and tucked away in an area where it’s very quiet. You could not find a better place too stay in Puerto. Please contact me for more details and I would be happy to answer any questions.

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..
