"A Hidden Gem of Tranquility and Charm! Carpe Diem Villa and Resort is a true oasis in Puerto Princesa! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the peaceful, Balinese-inspired atmosphere, surrounded by lush greenery and elegant sculptures. The rooms are spotless, beautifully designed, and well-equipped — we especially loved the private pool access, which made the stay feel extra luxurious. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, even helping us plan local tours and arranging transport when needed. The main pool area is stunning and well-maintained — perfect for lounging with a drink from the poolside bar. Dining at their restaurant was a delightful surprise. The fusion of French and Filipino flavors made for a unique and satisfying experience, though we would have appreciated a bit more variety in the breakfast options. While the resort is tucked away from the main town, it’s a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Just be prepared to arrange transportation if you plan to explore more of the city. Overall, Carpe Diem is the perfect mix of comfort, relaxation, and attentive service. We’re already planning our next visit! Rating: 4.7/5 "

"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!"

"The staff, the service we're very attentive to my needs and responded as expected. Staff are well trained. The food served and good quality was excellent which surprised me being that the hotel was quite small. Good job to the chefs, cooks, servers and support staff there at the restaurant"

"This is a great place to stay on a budget. The owner stayed up late for us after we had a flight delay, we arrived at about 2230. The room is large, the bathroom works and they provide breakfast to your room at 0700. They also can arrange your underground river tour, they walk you straightaway to the boat. Also, know going in that it is a small budget place in the jungle, they may or may not have any hot water. "

"My partner and I had a rocky start. We arrived in the evening and were welcomed with some drinks. They said it was liquor free but it ended up having alcohol and I’m allergic. Then the next morning when we called for the underground river tour they said we didn’t have time to be included even though that was the only day we could do it and they told us the night before to call in the morning. Anyways, they ended up finding a way for us to go in short notice, we were pretty flustered since we rushed to get ready. Nonetheless they rectified these issues by giving us two underground river tours free of charge. Although a couple things went wrong, the place itself and the staff made up for it. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The beach hardly has any people on it, so you almost have a beach to yourself. There’s paddle boards, archery, and many other things to enjoy. The hammocks and sun chairs were lovely, and the pool was so refreshing and clean. The gluten free bread is to die for! This place was the highlight of our entire month stay in the Philippines, we will definitely be returning. Thank you Daluyon!"

"It was a great place walk out front door and you are on the beach."
