Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa

Nice

The property really had everything you need. The gym had everything you need for any compound lifts and dumbells. Decent Japanese restaurant on site.

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!

Stafff are very nice

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.

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.

Very nice hotel , very nice breakfast buffet

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Property is extremely outdated.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!

Enjoyed the pool access rooms loved it

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

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!

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.

No spa open, no bikes for use and only one restaurant open Rooms were all messed up. Asked for 2 beds and got 2 rooms on different buildings and with only 1 bed for 3 guests and staff no help!

Half the things were out of service or not available like elevators and bikes and more.check in was slow.

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.

A few factors really hampered this stay. The week we were there, the weather was absolutely terrible, raining almost all day everyday. Looking at the map, you would think this property was close to the city, it's not. It wasn't close to anything. They are building a new tower, which you can hear all of the construction for. I kind of want to go back to see how it turns out, but have no desire to ever set foot there again. The grounds must have been great in it's prime, however, it seems to along time since those days. For the most part it's nice, but like a lot of places in the Philippines, they aren't properly or adequately maintained. The pool, being the biggest thing that sticks out, the floor of it needing to be repainted. The greenery was very nice, giving off rain-forest vibes. The room was reasonably nice, but not for this price point. I expected a lot more for how much we paid. The bathroom was massive, I think it was bigger than the rest of the room. The Jacuzzi was probably the biggest disappointment. The water flow to fill it up was beyond slow, it took nearly 2 hours to fill it up. The heating element, even when set to high, didn't work. The jets, were bad, if you didn't have two people in it, sitting/laying exactly in the right position, they flooded the bathroom, they were literally pointed at such an arc, that they would shoot out of the tub. The shower was nice, but it took a long time to get hot water, wasting a lot of water.

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.

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.
