Laureen Ina Yumena, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall the resort is nice. It needs maintenance. Maintenance was ongoing in one of the bldgs. Ours had no hot water for 2 days. They also charged $5 daily for an extra blanket.

Myrna, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall the hotel is nice but not a 4 star accommodation. Needs lots of maintenance. Work was ongoing. Hopefully when finished the resort will be modern and nicer. Paid $5 per night for an extra blanket in our room for our son. Very excessive. Limited dinning options and selection for international travelers. Pool area was nice, sandbar area not so much. Courteous staff overall. Hot water was inoperative for 2 nights of our 4 night stay. If we travel to Palawan again we will try another area. Puerto Princessa is not a travel destination for beach or relaxation.
DONALD, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property, right on the ocean. New high-rise rooms, nice Japanese restaurant on the top of the high-rise hotel section of the property.

2/10 Terrible

Started with Bait and Switch by Expedia promoting something but failed to honor it!
Iyu, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I particularly liked the Crepe lady, her service, she pays attentions to details of crepe, she makes. The breakfast and the way access to the pool from rooms was the highlights. I would definitely recommend others to this property. Just like my friend recommended me.
Chuan, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We got the double pool room and so glad we did! We loved having a private pool entrance and being on the ground floor right next to the restaurant. The resort itself is about 10 minutes drive from the main part of town but it was easy to grab a tuk tuk from the front gate any time we wanted to go in to town. Having the resort out of the town gave way for a super peaceful and quiet getaway and the whole place is so beautiful. Staff is polite and helpful and we will definitely be back!
Annamaria, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The place is beyond our expectations, it's amazing for relaxation. The management especially the manager were so emphatetic to us. Highly recommended for family vacation.

Reynaldo, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great stay! The pool access room was very nice and worth the price. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Dining options were limited , and while the food was good, it was quite pricey. Complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport was a plus.

Stayed for three days before heading out diving in Tubbataha reef. Large property, great pool, with good service, dining, and rooms.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The swimming pools where very spacious and the rest of the compound was nicely laid out. The new addition isn't totally ready -- so looking forward to coming back in a couple of years to the gym and other new features.
AD, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Princesa Garden is amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There was construction during our stay but it didn't really bother us since we were out and about during the loud part of the construction. The area is secluded which means you will need a vehicle to get town and back. Front desk is very helpful with getting us a taxi to take us to the shopping center.
Eduardo, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

They advertised a private beach that wasn’t available at the time we stayed. The patio chaise didn’t look clean. The AC unit had dust build up on the vent area and it looked like there may have been water damage in different spots on the ceiling. We checked out the next morning.
Roderick, 2-night trip

wonderful pool, beautiful facility. Good place to rest prior to next leg of vacation.
Laila, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Overall, ok. A positive is that they’re almost complete with a new spa and have a new fitness center! Room is ok, nothing to rave about. I Wasn’t wild about a “mandatory” Christmas Eve buffet and we felt it should be optional!
Kevin, 5-night trip

4/10 Poor

I recently stayed at Garden Island Resort in Palawan for a short two-night visit. While I truly appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the staff — they were consistently warm and accommodating — unfortunately, the overall condition of the resort left a lot to be desired. The grounds were noticeably unkempt, with many areas appearing neglected and dilapidated. While there were some spots that seemed to receive attention, large portions of the resort were in disrepair. The most glaring example was the area near the sandbar and pier. Though highlighted on the resort’s map, in reality, it was far from a picturesque spot — rotten wood, crumbling structures, and debris scattered around made it feel more abandoned than inviting. The food was mediocre at best, with limited variety and only a few restaurant options available. This added to the overall feeling that the resort lacked the level of care and quality one would expect from a vacation destination. While I’m grateful for the excellent service provided by the staff, the condition of the resort itself unfortunately overshadowed their efforts. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend Garden Island Resort to others looking for a well-maintained and enjoyable getaway.
