Our honeymoon experience: DISASTEROUS 1) Air port pick up that I pre-arranged did not pick us up when we late into the evening. We stood at the airport shuttle area for over 40 mins waiting. Tried to contact the resort while we waited, no answer. Luckily I found a local travel agent who helped us contact a shuttle driver to take us to Princesa Gardens. 2) Checking in = disaster. It took over 1.5hrs for my family to get to the front of the line?!? The main lobby is open to outdoors so it was unpleasant in 36+ degrees which then turned into a rain down-pour 3) Was told our room was "upgraded" for our Honeymoon. Happy with our beautiful view so we were willing to forget crummy beginning of the trip 4) It got VERY LOUD early next morning. Our building was being renovated but this was never advertised while we researched properties nor upon check-in. It was so uncomfortable after 2 days of banging/drilling. Glad I packed extra Advil for our headaches. Though we were booked for 10 days at this place, we decided to switch hotels and leave for El Nido instead 5) The staff at the front desk aren't very friendly/welcoming. The rest of the staff were kind though. There was a divide amongst the workers vs management. So much so that by the end of our stay, there was a huge turn-over in staff. Disappointing as we splurged for our Honeymoon on this hotel. Won't be returning to this resort and will share with our tourism groups of our horrible experience.

Pool Villa is the best room!

This was my second stay at Princesa Gardens. Previously, I got a water villa, but this room was insanely better! Don’t waste your money on the top room, when you can have a pool villa for a quarter of the price and it will be everything you need!

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.

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.

Property is extremely outdated. The pool had missing tiles and the entrance of the pool was slippery probably due to Algae growing on the surface (extremely dangerous & potential hazard for a fall). The room bed bases are broken, the corner of the bed cut out legs on several occasions. The windows in the bathroom were old and cracked (the window had silver reflective stickers placed over them to conceal the old mirrors. The sink in the bathroom had all black stains when we arrived and was conveniently covered with a bath towel to hide the stains by staff. The toilet in the bathroom clogged up every time we used it. Last but not least the Food!! Where do I begin… Ordering food was a nightmare, every time we sat down there were no staff to provide us with a menu or any service. I had to go up to the bar Several times. Secondly, the staff need much more training in customer service & English. Thirdly, the food took over an hour to come out and I had to constantly walk over to them to check how long the food would take (every single time). Buffet breakfast was good. This resort could be so much better if management invested resources to fix the whole resort (including staff training/ customer service).

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!

An absolutely incredible resort

Unexpectedly this resort was by far one of the most awesome resorts I have ever stayed. I travel a lot and I am shocked at how incredibly amazing this place. The vast variety of super cool things to see and do literally was over the top. Who ever designed this place and built it I wish I could shake their hand. I can’t even believe this place exists at puerto princess’s
