Great staff”
The staff is Sunlight’s greatest asset. The reception desk, shuttle driver, bell hop, IT guy, restaurant staff, literally each employee I dealt with are very courteous, extra nice and super helpful. My flight arrived early, but I was allowed to check in so I can visit the nearby malls and the public market. The property is undergoing renovation during my stay, but that is a small annoyance compared to the great treatment I received from the staff. I was pleasantly surprised to see a shaver, shaving lotion, and comb, in addition to a toothbrush and toothpaste, in the bathroom. A more expensive hotel I stayed in Cebu City only offered toothbrush and toothpaste. Free buffet breakfast on the 4th floor is a bonus. I would definitely stay in Sunlight Guest Hotel should I visit Puerto Princesa again. Rudolf

5* on a budget ”
This hotel was by far one of the best hotel we stayed in during our whole philippines stay! The staff was so friendly, the rooms were massive and it was very tidy, the breakfast was a buffet and it was filled with many choices! I definitely recommend this hotel, it was like a 5* hotel but on a budget. The location is also very close to SM and restaurants just a 5 min walk away. We had such a lovely stay we even cancelled our hotel for when we came back in Puerto Princesa from El Nido just to be able to stay here for another night!

Real value for money”
After staying in such terrible inns in Coron and El Nido, arriving in this hotel was such a welcome relief. For half the price, Sunlight provided a large room, king size bed, and other amenities that those inns did not. Even though the room didn't have a window, it was large enough for us not to feel claustrophobic. Breakfast was also generous and good, and the rooftop bar has a great view of the bay. Also, the hotel is located close to a supermarket and the old market, and is walking distance to the Baywalk. Plus they provide a complimentary airport shuttle. It's much more than what we paid for. Thank you!

Excellent value for money!”
I was met at the airport and taken straight to the hotel. I had no issues with check-in and my room was fantastic. Incredibly clean and spacious. I enjoyed a complimentary cocktail on arrival and enjoyed a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant. The hotel has a lovely sun terrace which is perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great although I would recommend more vegetarian options. Overall, I had an incredibly pleasant stay at Sunlight Palawan

we found an oasis... ”
we had stayed at a hostel the night before which was $5 cheaper than staying at sunlight. when we checked in we were so pleasantly surprised at how nice it was!! and only $5 more we got so much more amenities that staying in a tiny hostel. the rooms are huge, clean, and so nice! the beds are a bit hard, but it’s nothing to complain about. they also have a complimentary breakfast buffet which was pretty decent. it is also really close to the SM mall and the bay walk. they also offer a free airport shuttle in the day. we loved sunlight!!! i would highly recommend.

Affordable and wonderful”
We had a pleasant stay here in Sunlight. It's an old hotel but properly maintained. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff's are very friendly and smiling. The breakfast is good with nice sea view. What I appreciate most is the free transfer from hotel to airport even it's out of their scheduled transfer. Thank you so much sunlight. We will definitely come back.

Right where you want to be”
Pros: Very near the airport and most of the place you want to see in the city. Walking distance to SM Palawan and Baywalk. Right in front of the hotel is the public market. Their buffet has a geat selection of food items. The room was spacious, clean, and well furnished. The bathroom was well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. Cons: Our room was not very well lit. Too much of a dim effect.

Location wise is good/ needs improvement”
The place smells like you’re inside a one big refrigerator that hasn’t been opened in a long time. Inside our room is the same though it is very big and all the amenities are great and working as expected. I love the bed! Also, we booked the zen rooms but I gues we were given a regular room provided by the hotel since there were no traces of zen.

Best Value for Money + Buffet All the Way”
Pros : It is in the city proper which makes everything easier especially going around the place. Clean and well-maintained. Room is HUGE. Bed is HUGE. Aircon is working really well. Freebies are awesome and we took home some of it. Good and secure parking. The best of all, it has an accessible Ricardo's buffet restaurant on the 3rd floor + Alfresco Bar at the rooftop for an affordable price. It is the best hotel we've been into so far and the one with the biggest space. Love it! Thank you!

Really nice and modern hotel.”
Although the hotel rooms do not have windows, or maybe only a few do, the hotel is very modern and comfortable. It looks very close to a 5 star hotel. The amenities are wonderful, you have tee and coffee for free to make in the room, shampoo, soap, dental kit, shaving kit, sewing kit. They have a gym and guarded parking for your motorcycle rental. The restaurant looks really good inside and they have a very cheap all you can eat buffet at roughly 6$ per person. The hotel is very close to malls and other places. However, the lunch-dinner food is horrible. You have so many choices, but honestly everything tastes like fake, like the vegetables are made in the laboratory. The meat is tasteless and the desserts are really really horrible. The breakfast however was okay. Also all you can eat buffet, but no cheese. They have an egg station, which is really cool. We tried to go to the bar, we asked the guy for some drinks but said he does not work in the bar and ran away. Then there was nobody else there for service. As the music was really bad, we left.. The restaurant staff and also all the other staff are very kind and courteous. They are undergoing construction work, but you don’t actually feel it. Wi-fi is good! Overall good experience!

Looks better in photos”
The photos seemed to make it look like a modern room but the room is actually in a pretty worn-down hotel called Sunlight. The room itself is spacious, but it felt really dated and old. The are no windows to the outside. On the plus side, the area where breakfast is served has great views.
