We ended up leaving wIthin 2 hours and they didn't even refunded us our payment. They told us to call booking.com and I did. But then booking.com told me that the resort doesn't want to refund my payment. I paid $500+ and I lost that money This place is bogus. It showed they have ocean near them and when we get there it's filtHy. The room is not worth what I paid for and the wifi and TV are not working. I booked so many hotels and resorts around the world and it's sad to say this is the worst. I'm posting actual pictures we took in the resort and the room so beware and avoid this place. Oh btw, I cannot even rate this place in booking.com. So just imagine how a big rip off this place is. Don't trust this place and even those reviews in booking.com or other app. These are bogus and not worth your money.

We came for a family vacation and wanted to be close to the water so we picked this place. The…read morehotel comes to the airport to pick you up in a shuttle with water and provides cool towels. You drive to a semi remote road to get to the hotel. Once you walk in, the check in desk is next to an open dining area that opens on an infinity pool and beach in the background. Each room is a beach house so it's really cute. The bathroom has a shower without any doors that drains in the floor. Each room comes with a good air conditioning unit and the curtains do a good job of blocking out the sun when fully closed. Outside patio has chairs with long arms to dry your clothes. The only worry I had was that the outside sliding doors are tricky to lock. The pool was nice to swim in and it was very peaceful. It was cool to see the tide coming in and out every day while swinging in a hammock. Breakfast is buffet style and they start early for those that have tours. They also make omelets, pancakes, and eggs for you on request. My only complaints are the walls are a little thin so you can hear everything and you have to travel to get anywhere since it's a bit remote. I think it does add to the charm, but be prepared to travel some when you come here.

First, they have beach access during the day where you can chill at the sandbar after canoeing about 10 minutes. It is quite beautiful there, and you'll enjoy it any time for. 8-9 am or after 4pm. Second, the breakfast is legit with both Filipino and Western items. They have lots of condensed milk for coffee or your bread / desserts. Definitely do not miss the noodle station. You can get the glass noodles or egg based noodles. For lunch you can check out the restaurant that serves Italian / Filipino cuisine. The four seasons pizza is to die for, and so is the seafood plate. Try out the Filipino desserts, or top off your meal with a chill pina colada. Last but not least, the pool is by far the greatest amenity. They do an excellent job keeping it clean, and it's extremely beautiful day or night. I highly recommend trying to procure a room with direct pool access! Thank you awesome service members !

Every staff greets you with a smile on their face along with a hand in their heart. It was uniform everywhere. The hotel room in 5316 overlooked the view of the resort in general. The amenities are taken care of even if you forgot your toothbrush. The cuisine in house has a nice selection of Italian meals for western tastes or traditional Filipino meals to get that local flavor. Make sure to go to their breakfast buffet. But the highlight of the trip is the amazing pool that envelops a good portion of the resort that interconnects to the kids section that includes slides and activities for your ones. Princessa Garden Island is a gem hidden in one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. If you want to escape, this is a must in Palawan Philippines.

Tomato Basil restaurant was actually great pizza (chicken shwarma pizza as a hit!), but service was slow and prices were high. Room was immaculate and well appointed.

Whoa...This is a true island paradise…read more I found this resort by using Yelp. Thanks again Yelpers for leading me in the right direction. I guess I hadn't really done my complete research on this place because I didn't know that we were going to a totally secluded island resort. We took a plane, then a 40 minute van ride, then a 1 hour boat ride. The journey there is part of the fun. Here are some things you might want to know when you are traveling to Dos Palmas Isand Resort and Spa: *There is an older man on the boat ride to the island who will make things out of palm fronds and he will give them to you. He will not ask for money or tips but just know that he is doing this for tips. This is probably the only payment he will receive for being on the boat, helping you get on and off the boat and helping you with your life jacket. Please tip him! *There are no outside amenities on this island. No shops to purchase resort wear, no vendors selling outside food or trinkets, no stores selling food or drinks. (There is a VERY small gift shop that sells a couple of things.) I would recommend bringing a few snack items to have in your room. *If I came here again, I would bring a few inflatable pool tubes. I thought they might sell them here, but they don't. *The only wifi is in the restaurant. It is terrible! I wouldn't plan on using your phone or ipad while you are here. I couldn't get a wifi connection the entire time we were here. *The one and only restaurant has a rather limited menu but we found the food to be quite good. Aside from the pizza, everything else we ordered surpassed our expectations. The breakfast buffet is included in the price of your room...this was also quite good. *They have free coffee and tea available all day. *The rooms are nice and quiet. We could not hear any of our neighbors. we enjoyed our stay at Dos Palmas and we would not hesitate to stay here again. We were here at the end of March and it wasn't tourist season yet. The weather was perfect and the resort wasn't crowded.

Wow, an island of fun, good food, beach and sun. A very good place to escape from the grid (no TV…read moreor internet). Slow internet is not considered on the grid IMO. They have tons of options in activities: island hopping, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. They also have lap pool and a regular swimming pool. The water in their pool is seawater. They have a full size basketball court where you can play with the staff who stays in the island. They have karaoke rooms, pool table, foosball, table tennis, and a tennis court. Food is also without a question, enjoyable. But we find Sheridan's food better in terms of flavor. Everyone here is nice, service is excellent. Highly recommend this place if you want to get away from technology. My only gripe is the unnecessary island orientation when you first arrive. They'll hand out the schedule of activities. Unless you're really that dumb, the orientation wasn't needed, it was rather time consuming coz they wont start unless every guest are present.

But what impressed me most was the front desk, restaurant, accommodations, tour plans and water park. The front desk was prompt to our needs. They made every effort to ensure that my girl friend and I were satisfied and having a great experience. We were upgraded immediately when our landline phone was not working. The restaurant's breakfast and dinners were delicious. A taco night, who would have known. For breakfast, main dishes were changed daily giving you an opportunity to taste something new. Each night, a fire show capped off a wonderful evening. The accommodations were very good. The pillows and bed were vey comfortable. I liked that the shower and toilet area being separated giving us privacy. The tour plan was convenient and prompt. The tour vans were on time and they was no waiting. Tour plans were for many wonderful locations. We went island hopping one day. It included snorkeling in many locations over coral reefs and a lunch on one small island. Our other tour was to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. This is something I will never forget. We also did a Mangrove tour by indigenous locals and zip lining nearby. What a wonderful trip created by the tour planners for us. The water park was amazing. Many slides and lots of water. Additionally, the water was very clean and there were many life guards on duty. I will go back or visit one of their other resorts.

The service was impeccable by the staff and onsite restaurant Jinjer provided amazing food.

They even packed us breakfast for our early flight without any additional expected charge. Perhaps the only recommendation would be to have pool side service of drinks and food but otherwise the bar and Jinjer were close enough to the pools that it wasn't difficult to get anything. Would highly recommend this resort to anyone!

I asked if they had any rooms available so we could check in early (the charge for early check-in is around 25USD). I checked in early with the hopes we could hit the beach but didn't realize it would be low tide allllll morning... booo. The beach looked pretty sad so I paid 100 bucks total to hang out in a pool, gahhhh. We did get two complimentary drinks and given a room right next to the pool. Sadly, I did not take any photos. The pool was clean though and didn't give off a strong chlorine smell. They had a lifeguard on duty, which was nice, however I believe the deepest part of the pool was 5 feet. The room smelled like mold, which I've encountered before at a decently rated resort next to a beach, and I'm unsure if that's normal. The resort is about a 15 min ride to the mall. The front desk will call you a tuk tuk/tricycle when needed- ours came pretty quick.

The resort, itself, sits on a very large property, and the resort had a bit of a drive over a bumpy dirt road as there was a lot of construction happening when we visited. It seems that they were in the process of building another building for the resort. The resort itself was very nice. We were greeted and given a delicious and refreshing drink upon check-in. It seems that there had been an issue with our reservation and we ended up getting upgraded into a bigger room which had the ocean view that we were looking for. When we got to our room, we saw that it was huge, with a giant beautiful sliding glass door out to the balcony overlooking the ocean. We were a bit disappointed, however, that when it is not high tide, the ocean disappears very far away and a large amount of land is visible. Many people go out and gather fish and other ocean life that gets left behind by the changing tide. The bathroom was huge as well with a shower that could fit an entire football team inside. I was thoroughly impressed with the room. I'd surely stay at this resort again if we visit Palawan in the future.
