Surya Beach Resort Palawan

The road leading to the hotel was very rough—about 7km from the highway, making it difficult to access. There weren’t many activities offered, such as island hopping, which was disappointing. The food options were very limited, and the staff often had to run to the market to get supplies, causing delays. Additionally, the room had a lot of mosquitoes, there wasn’t much water, and our laundry took three days to return—and it was still wet! On the positive side, the staff were friendly, but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make up for the overall experience.

It was quiet and peaceful and the staff were lovely and accommodating.

Resort is very nice. The staff are amazing and always looked after you

Lots of Niknik (sand flies) and we had a couple of blackouts during our stay, which isn't the fault of the resort. We just had some bad weather. I would urge you to bring insect repellent before you come

-Avocado shake -Food -Scenery -Seashells -People working there were great -Secluded and not a lot of other guests... for a reason...

It's a poor value for the money. You can get WAY more for what they want to charge per night. If it was 40-50 dollars per night that would be reasonable. 100+? No way. -The "purified" water tastes terrible. The worst I've tasted in the Philippines. Not sure if it's even purified. We only stayed 2 nights and once I left I got sick. -There are dead jellyfish all over the beach and live ones in the water. You can't swim unless it's low tide because of all the rocks. -There are an insane amount of sandflies. If you don't know what those are, they're like mosquitos, but smaller and more of them. They carry diseases like malaria and dengue and the facility did nothing to mitigate them or warn us it was going to be a problem. -There's a long bumpy , single lane, dirt road to get there and it's in the middle of nowhere, so finding bug repellant once you're there would be a huge hassle. You're 30 minutes from a main road, then good luck finding a store from there. -Brownouts mean there's no aircon in the middle of the day sometimes. The electric fan was so cheap it would stop working if you moved it the wrong way. Then you'd have to fiddle with it until it would work again. This place is 100+ dollars per night. -The bathroom smells like old urine. Like no one ever cleans it properly. -The floor felt like it was made of metal and not cement. So it was easy to stomp around and vibrate the whole place. -The bed is basically 5 inches of the softest foam you've ever felt. I don't even think it was bedding foam. It didn't hurt my back, but it felt very cheap and uncomfortable. -Poor wifi connection, no mobile data from our carriers, which might be a plus for some people.

Lovely place. Quiet and remote. Food choices limited at times but what we ate was good, especially the sea food. Staff friendly & helpful.

There's a nice beach where you can spot big fish between the rocks, and there are some interesting jellyfish as well, though there are no corals.

If you drive, make sure to take the correct rough road, which is the middle one between the north and south roads and takes about 15 minutes. Otherwise, you might damage your car. The AC was out for an extended period due to a power shortage, but there were fans powered by a generator as a backup. I was also billed for additional food that I didn't have.

Gorgeous location and excellent staff

The road leading to the property very very bumpy and long!

Beautiful!

The scenery is superb - literally to die for. The room was soo clean, and the stuff extremely friendly. The host/property manager is quite amazing, very responsive to your needs and always makes sure guests are comfortable

Absolutely nothing.
