Palawan Seaview Resort — Hotel in Puerto Princesa

Kevin (the F&B manager) was the only redeeming thing here. To be crystal clear: WARNING Do not stay here!!

1. The pool looks like it will be under construction for a long while
2. They are blatant liers: we were told that the pool was only just 2 days out of commission but a guest said they had been there over 4 days and it was green and unusable the entire time
3. The karaoke from the public beach next door is inceseant (starts around noon and continues well past midnight... And it is miserable to listen to. Saturday night the cacophony continued until 3:00AM!
4. The "beach" is a joke. It is shallow (no more than waste-deep) for 500 meters out during high tide and muddy and exposed at low tide
5. The cabana rooms (which we originally booked) are horrible. The walls are paper-thin and have holes that allow the mosquitoes in. God only knows how you can sleep at night from the howling next door!
6. The cabana room beds are not meant for two adults. The are not the width of a twin bed and certainly not the length.
7. The entire place is falling apart. The walkways are crumbling and the food area was very tired.
8. We "upgraded" to a normal room but the bed was like a board and the water pressure was a trickle. The bathroom window was like a mosquito highway: we had to take a towel and cover the cracks and openings.
9. My wife got up early one morning as we were leaving for a day tour to request hardboiled eggs. On the first attempt, they arrived soupy. The second time there were weird holes in them. We finally gave up and ordered fried eggs
10. The owner, Baby, could care less about guest complaints(!) We asked for another hotel and warned her that our review would probably be horrible based on what we saw in the first hour, but she would not return our money (so here is my no-holds-barred review)
11. There is a language disconnect with most of the staff. I had requested something for breakfast, waited for nearly an hour and asked again only to be told it was not available. This lack of communication was common.
12. There was no toilet paper in the common bathrooms by the restaurant
13. This place is waaaay out of the way and inconvenient to get transportation to town
14. Ignore any pictures of the dock and tree house: they are in process of...

Cute little resort to stay at. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they got rides for us whenever we asked as well as booked our tour to the Underground River. The breakfast was decent, very Americanized unfortunately. There is a pool there as well as beach access. It's a little far from everything so be ready to pay for a lot of rides (although most charge you around 60-120PHP to get to places in or around town). The room we were in had two double-sized beds & the shower had two shower heads that were reminiscent of a rain shower. Water took a while to heat up but was comfortable pressure and temperature. The toilet was in the same room as the shower, no divider. So if a person is showering you have to wait to use the bathroom. His and her sink outside the shower/toilet room. Room service cleaned after each day, gave fresh towels, made the beds, and gave new water bottles for each person. Overall great place to stay; a very...
