Escape Boutique Hotel in Palawan truly feels like a home away from home, thanks to the warmth and hospitality of its family-run team. Managing not only the hotel but also the farm-to-table restaurant and the farm’s produce, this place radiates authenticity and a deep connection to nature. It’s the kind of spot where you can truly escape the chaos of everyday life.
I originally booked for just one night, but I quickly found myself unable to leave. I ended up staying for two whole weeks! Jacques and Dieyna were incredibly accommodating, even when I couldn’t give them an exact departure date. They made sure my stay was seamless and stress-free.
The restaurant is a standout, offering delicious, fresh meals with a wide variety of options. It’s perfect for large groups, and there’s even ample space for events. The quality of the food is exceptional, and it’s made even better knowing it’s all sourced from their own farm. The staff went above and beyond. Thank you Ann, Els, Jel, Mimi, Mariel and Tin. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring that all guests had what they needed. For families with kids, there’s a delightful collection of toys to keep the little ones entertained. It was clear that they truly cared about creating a positive experience for everyone.
The rooms are top-notch, comfortable, homely, and offered at a great value. The mountain views from the balcony were breathtaking, and waking up to that sight each day was a gift. Plus, the air conditioning was effective and quiet, ensuring a perfect night's sleep.
The grounds around the hotel are absolutely stunning. Whether you’re walking through the lush gardens or sampling the organic produce, the entire property invites you to slow down and connect with nature. It’s a peaceful retreat, perfect for those wanting to recharge.
If you're ever in need of trip recommendations or arrangements, they’ve got you covered. Jacques will have so many suggestions and stories you'd wish you planned a longer stay. Dieyna went the extra mile by arranging a last-minute trip for me to a popular destination that was fully booked for months ahead!
There are so many activities to enjoy: visiting the farm and gardens, taking cooking classes, indulging in a traditional Kawa bath in aromatic flowers and leaves, or simply relaxing at the nearby river or local beach just 5 minutes away. It’s a place where you can truly be at one with nature—no noise pollution, no light pollution. I’ve never seen stars so bright, and that alone made the experience unforgettable.
Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, Escape Boutique Hotel will make you feel like part of the family and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a tranquil, authentic...

Activities and Experience: There’s no chance of getting bored here! The hotel is set on a farm filled with both native and exotic plants collected by the owners from their trips around the world. The owners personally showed us around the farm, and we even got to feed a baby sheep! After a long day at the beach, the owners pampered us with a warm Kawa bath which was just what we needed to unwind.

Read moreThe place might have been good but I was not able to see it as I had a hard time with booking with them. I already paid the reservation but they are not replying to my queries and did not confirm for hours so I looked for their other number to reach them. I said I will just cancel my reservation as I was not happy with the customer service. They said they lost connection which is unacceptable as they have both smart and globe numbers. They said they will refund if I wish to do it but was not able to reply. The next day l, I confirm that I will just continue my booking but they said the room is already booked by someone. I was not aware they already refunded my payment and they made me look it was my fault. I was really disappointed as they did not go an extra mile to contact me or make things up for their lapses. I expected that the room is secured as they guarantee it when paid in full. Poor customer service...
