Liked: Nice and big common area, friendly staff, 4 dorm rooms are nice. When i left for the aiport a staff member took me there on het motorbike so very nice.

Disliked: The location is a short tricycyle ride from the town center, but there are no lights at the road outside. So that might be difficult in the evening. Can take a bit to find a tricycle.

Liked: The airport pickup was great. The staff is very friendly and they respond to emails immediately! Free Wifi was great! The remote area was great because it was quiet and close to the beach. I highly recommend this place for tranquility lovers :)

Disliked: There were several brownouts - but never the fault of the hotel - but even better - they have a generator for these cases! :)

Liked: They picked me and sent me for free. It was good^^

Disliked: It is far from Rizal avenue, which is central place of Puerto Princesa City. The breakfast that they provide is too expensive. I have to pay PHP110 at least. If I want to turn on the airconditioner, I should pay PHP200 per night. You ought to let them know that you need a towel because there is no towel in the room.

Liked: airport pickup, restaurant right there, pool, they set up all my tours for me & called tricycles when I wanted to head into the city.

Disliked: it's a bit far out of the city, so you need to hire a tricycle. the beach is very small and about a 15 minute walk away.

Liked: Awesome people that can really help you with whatever you need. Andy picked us up from the airport and often drove us into town for any shopping and errands we needed. Most trikes know the place, and it's not too much to get around. The place is hidden away, very quiet, but is also great for meeting new people. Has a pool, pool table, wireless internet, great restaurant.

Disliked: Like any place, there were some noticeable issues, but they never damped our image or experience much. No electricity on some mornings (common in Palawan), a little bit of mildew in the bathroom, ordering food takes time--but you get used to "Filipino time" quickly.
