Guest Reviews

• josephaQ6451WQ (10/5): Truth in advertising--- the resort is an actual garden! - I’ve traveled extensively and stayed in places that claimed to be a ‘garden’— but this one lives up to its name! The flowers, shrubbery, and fruit trees gave me and my family a secluded and relaxing environment that’s not too far from the main city drag. I was enthralled to see a serene wedding scene under one of the giant old growth trees. Our room was clean and gave the travel comforts we expected, and we truly appreciated the friendly and caring staff. We also liked having our breakfast by the pool, and taking a dip afterwards. The front desk was helpful in getting our island-hopping tour booked at the last minute. And Slappy the cat was always there to greet us! Definitely recommended for anyone planning to travel to Palawan.
• SIOBHAN (8/5): Very good hotel near the airport in Puerto Princes - We spent 2 nights here and the staff were wonderful. There is a really pleasant garden with a pool and a basic restaurant with bar service. The room was spotless with aircon, TV and a place to hang clothes to dry. Cats, dogs and chickens roamed free-range in the spacious gardens.
• Michael (10/5): Gutes Hotel mit Pool - Alles in Ordnung!
• Connie (10/5): - Our family of five had the best experience at this resort: very welcoming staff especially during our check-in/out, lovely breakfast buffet with super nice staff, swimming pool was super clean, great ambiance in every area of the resort, beautiful landscaping, free airport shuttle made it easy and convenient to catch our flight. We’ll go back again!
• Vivian_GS (10/5): Great place, great location. - We stayed here for 1 night, we reserved 4 rooms. We requested a late checkout for one of the rooms because our flight was not until late in the afternoon. They did not charge us for the late check out. Break fast was good 7/10, there were a lot of guests so they had to refill several times. Good selection for buffet breakfast. Clean spacious rooms. Very nice courtyard with a lot of fruit trees and flowering plants. The staff was very friendly.
• jongkwon (8/5): - 우선 이곳은 전반적인 숙소 컨디션은 좀 오래되었으나 정원이 아름답고 직원들도 매우 친절합니다. 다음에 온다면 무조건 여기서 묵을겁니다 가격대비 성능이 훌륭 합니다.
• msminchin23 (8/5): Edit: The place is worth a try - The resort is big and lovely. The people at the reception are very accommodating and friendly. The room is big and clean. The only downside to this resort is the abominable service at their restaurant. We ordered just 4 shakes and 2 sandwiches. It took 45mins for them to get the shakes to our table, and that’s only because we already followed up. The sandwich was nowhere to be seen and they only started making it after we asked again! This resort seems popular with wedding receptions and if you’re unlucky enough to be staying while they’re preparing for one, good luck. It seems like even if you paid big money for your stay, your needs will take a backseat to wedding preparations. Take note, the resort does not have a convenience store and it’s far from places to buy food. Prepare to go hungry. EDIT: We gave the resto another shot and I am happy to say they more than made up for the previous mishap. Service was vastly improved. Staff was very apologetic and attentive.
• dont_Ask21 (6/5): Weekend staycation - First of all, the front desk was not in front 😂 The room is spacious, we like how the bathroom and toilet was set up. Plus points for the extra space for hanging wet clothes 😁😁 The pool was ok..but could be better. (A bit crowded when we were there.) Food was great and we super love their Crispy Kare-Kare! Buffet breakfast could be improved. Kudos to the water dispensers and the kids playground outside the rooms!🖒🖒 Overall, would consider coming back to give the pool and the buffet breakfast a chance to redeem itself 😂😂
• TheJoinersUK (8/5): Good price, nice pool - Picked up at airport by the hotel, we were driven to the hotel in about 20 mins. The staff were good, trying to help when needed. The room was basic but did the job. The pool was a big plus point to cool down on a very hot day. The breakfast was ok but I wouldn’t eat in the restaurant. Expensive for what it was if they had what you wanted. The garden is lovely another big plus. It’s out of the way with no taxis so be prepared to use the trikes.
• Edith (8/5): Overnight stay - It was clean, quiet and good food. Courtyard lighting very dark, it need more improvement. Slow WiFi. Very close to the airport . Very nice staff.
• reynaa2013 (8/5): Convention - We stayed at Ponce de Leon for 5 days and 4 nights during our midyear convention in Palawan. This place is right for you if you are looking for a laid back resort amidst the busy city of Puerto Princesa. It gave me that island feels after attending a series of lectures. This is a child-, elderly-, pwd-friendly establishment. The rooms are spacious and clean, beds are comfortable. They have a very good cable connection and great wifi access. The bathroom was ok. It would be very nice if you have a lavatory. They have a restaurant that serves a wide array of moderately priced dishes. The breakfast buffet was tasty but nothing extraordinary. They have a kiddie and adult pool, which by the way was very clean. All of the staff were very accomodating and friendly. I was with my parents who were senior citizens and I had to leave them one night for dinner at their restaurant. The staff was kind enough to assisst them and even lead them back to our room. Our overall stay was great! We will definitely book again. Thanks.
• Leif Erik (10/5): Deilig plass. - Rent og fint. Hyggelig betjening, alltid med smil om munnen. Meget bra standard på rom og bad. God mat både for barn og voksne. Gang avstand til stranden men godt stykke unna byen, men man reiser ikke dit for å være i byen. Reiser gjerne tilbake dit og det kan anbefales familier med barn.
• Q6790ZYjohnh (10/5): Beautiful Resort - Stayed Friday to Tuesday, very beautiful scenery and peaceful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and the WiFi works well. The staff was very polite and friendly. The management and owners are customer service first oriented, family oriented, and generous. They have all the connections for tours and to the beach. The food was good too. Very highly recommended!
• teng7 (10/5): Best Summer 2018 - Summer with the family was great and well spent while we stayed at the Resort. Facilities were clean, serene and peaceful. We loved the ambiance and the garden was well maintained. The pool was great and clean, especially after a full day tour, it was nice to have a dip and relax further. The restaurant offers delicious meals and the staff were all accommodating and kind enough to meet our requests. We will definitely recommend to friends and given the chance we will come back again! Thanks Ponce de Leon Garden Resort for a meaningful and wonderful time!
• 651dadis (10/5): Excellent retreat - Right at the heart of the puerto princesa - a tricycle away from many interesting places. Very clean, room is ample for 2, love the sampayan (clothesline) behind the room. Lovely hundred year old acacia trees, flowers - you'll wake up to birds chirping at sunrise. Chapel inside the compound. Good and quiet inside if you are looking for a personal retreat place. You'll find lots of quiet corners to sit, meditate, write. The place is also a popular wedding/swimming venue for locals but it's quiet in the rooms. Best of all, the people! Very helpful. You get to meet the owners and learn insights about palawan. It's a family resort and I felt that strong family vibe throughout my stay. I really felt cared for and safe. Highly recommended for those looking to plug in to peace and serenity
• shapiro360 (6/5): It worked - Our stay here was ok and the grounds are very beautiful. Our child loved the pool and she met plenty of other kids to play with. The rooms were ok and comfortable but could use some updating. This is the place for events more than anything and we saw two weddings while we were there. The only problem we really had was that they advertise as per friendly and that's why we booked it but as soon as we told them we had our dog with us they said no but then brought us a cage so very confused. We had to leave our pet at the families home in Puerto for the 3 nights we were there so we were quite upset since thats the whole reason we chose the hotel.
• coraraquelg (10/5): A piece of paradise tucked away in busy Puerto Princesa, Palawan - My daughter and I stayed at the resort for 5 days, and they were some of the best times we had in Palawan. The resort was beautiful and peaceful, and it was as close to nature as one can get with all of the trees and flowers... oh, and the home-cooked food was amazing! Our room was very clean and spacious, complete with the comforts and amenities of home. Their staff members were the most friendly and helpful around. My appreciation also goes out to the owners and managers, who went out of their way to make us feel most welcome and part of their family. Thank you so much for the lovely memories, we can't wait to come back to Palawan and stay at the Ponce de Leon Garden resort once again!
• Barkadatravels (10/5): hospitality and trustfulness approved - We been here many times with my foreign friends from Spain. We use to spend our trip in this Resort for the reason that we loved the ambiance the nature and all the staff working in this Resort. We have pet name Pipo used to play and run in this huge place and nothing happen to him. We loved the service and the smile of all the staff here they are very very very friendly and they our like our family. One time my friends and i Left something in this hotel and they really kept it until i returned back and they gave to me all the things that we left the passbook and the key of the car. We loved how Lea handle everything for keeping it. She is worthy to be a manager of this resort. Thank you so much guys for everything you done for us. We really appreciate it. We have no regret of choosing your Resort to spend our Vacation here.
• benayonon (8/5): A-OK - # of Days: 6 Room # 25 Stayed 6 days for a business function. Hotel had some good ups and some downs. THE GREAT: - FOOD! THE GOOD: - courteous staff - not undermanned - excellent pool (with lukewarm water) - away from the noise of the city - internet in common areas - airport transport THE BAD: - water supply in the 2nd floor rooms lack pressure, took me longer time to take a bath just because water was flowing slowly - bathroom heater was not working - there's no easy way to contact the front desk nor restaurant to get food - no in-room food menu (which wouldve made it easier to buy food) - there was always smoke in the afternoon to early evening! - no wifi in the rooms - judgment of staff What turned me off was when they charged us with corkage when we had food delivered from outside. One, there were no other easy food options than keying in a delivery number. Two, there was no menu inside the rooms. What turned me off again was my experience with the staff who booked me a blind therapist without me confirming. This was heartbreaking for me because the blind man went to the hotel expecting a client. I was pretty sure I told her to wait for my confirmation. (just gave the guy a small tip for the effort) Over-all, this is a great place to stay and will provide you with a good sleep in Palawan.
• phoebed21 (10/5): You will love the place - Ponce de Leon is worth every penny.. good service, inspiring place, incredible food! It is very near the airport too. They also offer free service to and from the impressive new airport of Puerto Princesa.
• Frederick-Carlo (10/5): A peace of heaven in Puerto princesa in Palawan - If you really want to eat well, go there !!! Definitely it's one of the best restaurant where we have been in the whole city of Puerto Princesa in the island of Palawan. You will enjoy the garden and you have to know if you like hot water to swim you will enjoy the beautiful swimming pool ...highly recommended go go go !!!!!!
• Edith (6/5): Old friend visit - Was not really comfortable due to building still need more improvements. Unable to connect wifi in our room, water was very slow in the bathroom, no hair dryer, had insects in the bathroom and water went inside back door when it rain
• mahal_10122015 (10/5): always a joy to come home to - the flowers here seem to bloom constantly! i have never seen so many flowers, butterflies, birds all living harmoniously; its such a peaceful place and the ancient acacia trees are so majestic! i love the food, the pool and the staff are so courteous and always glad to help. they may not be perfect, but their kindness shines through. i love their spacious rooms and the grounds. my kids adore the pool and always want to swim. this place is an absolute favourite for family
• arlynb2017 (10/5): Love this place! The best in everything! - This is my favorite place in puerto. The staff are so kind, always smiling.. the food is absolutely delicious and not expensive and they are very generous with their servings! There is fresh basil on the side of the restaurant you can put on your pasta, you can just pluck and voila! Everything here is fresh, clean and natural! The surrounding is so serene and the pool is always so clean and inviting. My family loves it here. Even our friend, a priest, loves the chapel located in the area. You can lose all your problems and find yourself here.

• ryannarrazid (10/5): Our January Wedding, made memorable with this wonderful resort... Definitely want to return to this place! - They have recently hosted our Islamic Wedding last January 7, 2017 including the reception of our guests who came from southern Palawan and our relatives from Visayas and Manila. Food was superb, service was great! We would like to extend our gratitude to Mrs. Pamela Ponce de Leon - Garcia, Mr. MJ and the rest of their crew for their warm welcome and smiles, professionalism, and hardwork in making our day special. Their rooms are spacious and cozy; flowers are always in bloom which made this place unique among other hotels in the city. Highly recommended to visitors and tourists who would like to experience Puerto Princesa in the most serene and beautiful way. Will definitely come back again and eat their sumptous meals and desserts! :)
• robindolphin (8/5): Value for money but breakfast needs improvement - This hotel has very local, unpretentious feel. The rooms are very clean and spacious and so is the bathroom. They also had an extension at the back for you to wash and dry clothes. The rooms face a garden and as we are big family, it is nice to sit at the terrace in the evening. The hotel staff is what makes our stay special. They have been going the extra miles to arrange for tours at very affordable rate and the tours are handled professionally. Wi-fi works fine in the room. Hot water works fine in one room but not the other. Breakfast really needs improvement. Otherwise, we are happy with this hotel as it is value for money.
• Ekow (6/5): - The hotel and the its settings were very nice, very well kept and looked good throughout. The staff were very friendly and tried to help wherever possible. The major issue I had was that the housekeeping was not great, the bed sheets had stains on them which isn't something you should find in any hotel.
• Jona (8/5): Friendliest staff ever! - From the moment they picked us up from the airport to the moment we checked out, the staff were incredibly kind. We stayed in one of the family suites so it was the perfect size for our party of 6. The room & bathroom were huge and there's even an outdoor space to hang up wet clothes. The pool area is awesome and the restaurant has amazing food. Wish we could've stayed longer!
• joe (8/5): Great pool and nice restaurant - Great service at this small resort type hotel. Staff was very helpful. Only 10m from the airport
• Robin (6/5): Nice hotel - but noisy. - I stayed here for 4 nights and was overall happy with the hotel. It had a nice pool and the staff were extremely helpful. I didn't like the cockerels waking me up from about 2am and also I didn't like the fact there was no safe in the room - especially as the cleaner left the room unlocked on at least one occasion.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Best Resort in the City Ever! - Very nice place, Good food Specialy the clam bake, the staff are very friendly and attentive and also the accommodation is good . I am satisfy with my stay their.
