Overall we were very satisfied. Downside is that the wifi connection in room 319 was super poor. I even need to go out in the corridor to connect but it was fast though once you're connected. Anyway, we love the place as per the staff's efficiency,they can help you with anything and they have their own travel agency located just one floor down which can help you book a...

I have a 5 yr. old son and a 3 yr. old daughter. They are both heavily into animals and nature stuff. In fact the sole purpose of going to Palawan was to see the crocs! Everything else was secondary. We booked our stay from the 16th (a Sunday) to the 18th (a Tuesday). I had planned the itinerary this way, 16th arrive PPS at 9:10AM, catch a privately chartered boat good...

We spent 6 night in Best Western Plus The Ivywall Hotel, the staff are warm and welcoming. It is located at the heart of Puerto Princessa. Less than 15mins from the airport (the hotel provides shuttle that picks up and off drop off guests at the airport), 15mins walk to SM mall, less 30mins to Robinson mall on tricycle and loads of other bars and restaurnts around if y...

We are very satisfied with the hotel's services, very far from the airport, from the bus station very close, but they have a free shuttle van, you can imagine every time you step out of the airport holding a sign the person you meet is a very moving thing . Opposite is the largest mall in Puerto Princesa Robinson, shopping and dining very convenient. The hotel rooms ar...

We were in Puerto Princesa during the worst possible weather with 2 tropical storms within the week. Nevertheless, we felt absolutely comfortable and safe in the hotel.

We booked this stay last min only cause our flight got cancelled. But as soon as we were greeted by the hotel manager, we knew we made the right choice. I cannot rave enough about the staff. They seem really dedicated to making your stay a 5-star experience. We would especially like to commend the 3 ladies we encountered at the front desk and a waiter, Jan Carl. They t...

Airport pickup service was great, their driver Faisal was very courteous and managed to make a great impression by his running commentary about the city while we were driving. He'd definitely make a great tour guide, if he isn't one already. Check-in was fast, and they allowed me to check-in earlier than scheduled. After staying for 4 days, I checked into another hotel...

Our stay was perfect! We were fetched at the airport by a driver with an air-conditioned van, and brought to the hotel, which is about 10 minutes away (max.!) by car. The moment you roll on the Hotel Fleuris premises, you are immediately happy you booked your stay with them! It is really beautiful, and when you hop out the door, friendly staff is waiting for you, makin...

the hotel is in a very good location right in the heart of the city of puerto princesa. it's a business hotel, but family with young or even older children can enjoy their facility since they have a pool. we had a pleasant stay. they serve a good buffet breakfast, lunch, merienda (afternoon snack), and dinner. their breakfast and afternoon snack are much cheaper. ther...

I have travelled a lot all over Asia, coming to the Philippines i wasnt sure what to expect. I stayed at many hotels in Manila that were expensive or poor quality and cheap.

Wow, what a wonderful place! We of course loved the decor, and everything else was quality as well. Bed was comfortable. AC worked okay but was not in the central area so didn't really reach the bed. For that there is a ceiling fan above the bed which rotates. I like having a fan but my husband doesn't, so the swiveling fan was not the best for us. We had a patio room ...

My stay in this hotel was quite unplanned as i had just come from El Nido and needed a place to stay overnight before my flight back home. I was searching accdg to location (near the airport) and found this place. I didn't book at first and went to the hotel w/o a booking. So instead of booking direct with them, they let me use Agoda. Told them i wanted the points. It'...

Our first choice hotel did not met our requirement so we roam around Puerto and saw Fersal. Our priority was to find a place that has an excellent internet connection (its for our work). The front desk was really accommodating, they allowed us to test the connection in one of the rooms first before we settled to book for 3 days. They also suggested to book online if we...
