Costa Palawan Resort

On the surface this hotel has all the amenities you need, a great pool, gym, billiards, close to the beach, free breakfast and airport transfer. These were definitely positives. The breakfast was sort of strange - it was a buffet with one fruit choice, rice, meat dishes (chicken yesterday, fish or duck today), bread, waffles, condiments, salad, an egg station where you get egg made to your preference and 2 cereals. The quality was good, and you could certainly be filled on the food, but it was quite random options. We didn’t mind but it wasn’t for everyone. The main issue with this place is the room. It is wonderfully spacious and comfortable, but as some others have noted, there is EXTREME dampness. To the point on our first evening we had to call housekeeping to change our sheets and mop the floor. The humidity / dampness was running down the walls, building up on the floors and surfaces, made our bags and clothes damp and created a disgusting musty smell. We presume this is not an uncommon issue despite the ‘surprise’ of reception as the room is covered in mould. The only way to really help this (help but not fix entirely) is to have the air conditioning on extremely high and very cold, which we could not do as it was not warm enough and we did not want to get sick. The pool however was very clean, billiards and table tennis were a welcome benefit, but the beach is not swimmable so bear this in mind too. An okay stay if you have a connecting flight, but definitely not a ‘resort’ quality experience.

We use this hotel quite regularly as its always excellent. Excellent buffet breakfast, excellent restaurant, the staff are all of an example of how to conduct professionalism, . Live the larger swimming pool when ive time, A credit to the people who manage this hotel, ive spoken to the manager, excellent on all levels.. I will return, its a pleasure to meet the warm staff each time.

We chose this place due to its proximity to the airport and complimentary airport transfer service which were both good, we arrived late in the day so weren't able to use the full amenities offered, however we did have dinner in the restaurant that is located at the far end of the property so we were able to have a small explore of the complex. If we had more time, we think we would have enjoyed it here as it felt quite relaxing. You will need a bike if staying here to get out and a bout or use the local tuk tuks.

Great stay at the hotel with good food at the restaurant and friendly staff.

Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Location is a little bit far from the centre, but the receptionists can call for a taxi or tricycle. The breakfast was really good. The hotel was very beautiful decorated for the Christmas. For me - the best place to spent one or two nights in Puerto Princesa.👍
