Palawan Hotels with Bars

Pluses • Nice spacious room, very comfy bed and pillows, smart tv, a bottle of complementary wine, bathroom with full amenities, strong water pressure • Masseuse at the spa gave a wonderful full body massage • Breakfast was good – full spread and different dishes every day • We were allowed to keep our room until 2pm as our flight was at 5pm Minuses • For a high-end resort, service is everything. Lihim advertises “bespoke” service with its butler service, but the overall level of service we received was mediocre at best. The butter/s assigned to us had no initiative, did not go out of his/her way to make sure everything was all right, was absent most of the time except to text us and to have us sign for bills, were not knowledgeable about the tours being offered by the hotel. (1) I asked whether we could move our return flight to an earlier flight, the butler just said he didn’t know if there were earlier flights. I asked him to find out, he never did. (2) We had to go online to find out details on the tour we were taking because he could not provide any information. (3)) We asked for a pickup from the town square at 8pm at 7:30pm. At 7:50pm, the butler confirmed the car was on its way. By 8:30m we were still waiting in the street and followed up once again. The car arrived at 8:45pm. Turns out the driver was never informed of the pickup by the butler when she confirmed to us that the car was on the way. No personal apology for the inconvenience caused to us at all. (4) Upon check-out, both butlers came to our room to have us pay the bill. No “hope you enjoyed your staff, thank you for coming, hope you can come back”. One accompanied us to the airport, on bringing down our bags from the car, didn’t even offer to help us with our bags. He said bye, and got back in the car. (3) We did not see or speak to any general manager while in the resort. I don’t know if there was even on one on site. • The ala carte lunch we ordered at Gana upon arrival while our room was still being cleaned was pretty bad. After that, except for breakfast which was included in the package and which was good), we would eat in the restaurants in El Nido town square each evening and had yummy, tasty food at different restaurants at better prices (even if it meant being charged P1000 for the round-trip transfers). On our last day, we tried the higher-end Henri restaurant. Quality was better than Gana but we still preferred eating in El Nido town given the better choice of food outside the resort. • The “bespoke” tours offered by the resort are basic and overpriced for what you get. We did the Hapag and Cadlao tours – except for the use of speedboats instead of outrigger bancas, both could have been run by any tour operator in town, lacking in any differentiated service or experience given the premium price charges. Towels and cold bottled water were provided but that’s a bare minimum for the price they charge. It would have cost next to nothing to have a basket fille

The first words of the staff is “welcome to paradise” and we can only say it was truly experiencing paradise. From the first second at lounge arrival to the last second of departure there was an amazing, friendly and personalized customer care! The hotel environment , the room, the food, the complementary boat trips all was excellent and gave us an incredible experience to never forget and … to return back to☺️

I really enjoyed my stay here. Nice comfy room with great Aircon and a really nice breakfast in the morning. The pancakes were delicious. All the staff were very friendly and had great English! Especially the security guard Arthur. He made us feel very safe and was very friendly and welcoming.

So we checked in last October 2019 and was assisted by a front desk staff. As we saw our room, I saw that the bed I requested through Agoda which is a queen size bed was not available. They gave us 2 single beds Instead. I said if they can transfer us as we would want to sleep comfortably in a bigger bed. He was kind enough to transfer us to a different room on the second level, still with 2 single beds combined which was okay. Didn’t have any issues with that. I even apologized to the staff if I seemed rude. Now my problem is, on the following day, we when we came back from our tour, our keys were not working. Went all the way back to the front desk only to find out that the manager intentionally deactivated our cards. Why? Just to inform us of our check out and pick up time. It should have been a phone call right? Do you do this to all your guests and make them walk all the way from their rooms to the front desk or did she just want to see us personally because we complained at her staff the previous day? By the way, when she was talking to us, she didn’t seem accommodating and didn’t even apologize for the deactivated card. If you will tell us now that you do this to all your guests just to inform them of the checkout details then you shouldn’t. Just call them and let them have a hassle-free vacation.

Stayed in garden view room, very spacious, veranda is subtle but is a good area to catch early morning sun. Nacpan beach is more beautiful than any review you can read. A lot less busy than El nido town beach perfect if you want your own private beach vacation and you can still travel to the town if you want to. The staff are very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. Will definitely come back again!

Ausan Beach Front Cottages are definitely an acquired taste. The room is bold and colourful, it wasn’t necessarily to my taste, but I loved how unusual it was, I think the colours of the walls and bathroom were quirky, the bedding choice didn’t compliment that but again – that’s my opinion (and it’s just bedding, the bed itself was comfy). The actual only downside of the room was that we chose to have a “fan only room” and it just didn’t cool us down at all and it’s quite dark inside. However, aside from the rooms, the place itself we couldn’t fault. The location was a 15/10! The surroundings of the hotel rooms and the restaurant area are all beautifully themed together as this treehouse paradise. The beach area is part of the hotel and it’s so beautiful with fantastic access to Port Barton (literally is Port Barton) for any boat trips you’d like to take. The food was lovely too, there is so much choice! If you do stay here, make sure you love dogs as there as 4 of them in the restaurant, they did beg for food a little, but the staff moved them away. My favourite part of our stay here was just sitting on our room veranda with a cocktail listening to the sea and looking at that view. When you think it couldn’t get any better, the sun sets, that view is worth putting up with the unappealing bedding! :D

I went for the fourth place in the high-end hotel in Cologne and booked two nights. On the first night, I heard something calling in the room, but there was no sound during the day. At first I thought it was a frog, but I found out it was a gecko-like animal when I asked the front desk. It was in the room, and the recording called once every 12 minutes on average. I went to the front desk and was told that the room was full and there was no room for me to change. Reluctantly, I fell asleep in the middle of the night while recording, fearing and sleepy, and woke up early to go to sea. When I came back in the afternoon, my wet clothes hadn’t been changed yet. I finally got to change a room for me, but soon found that the air conditioner wasn’t cooling. How could this work? I got someone to overhaul it and it still doesn't cool down. More than an hour passed before and after, and I was in a panic. I ended up having to shower out of the room with the animals and finally the supervisor upgraded us to another room. In any case, thanks for the supervisor's handling of the problem. But I always have a problem, there are animal sounds and the air conditioner is not cooling in the room, is it

Luis Bay management is customer-friendly. The accommodation is very affordable with fresh and delicious food all the time. It's the best accommodation site for those who are planning to have the island -hopping experience of Coron multiple package tours because of it's location. It is near the port area where boats dock in going and coming from the island-hopping experience.

Tucked off the main ***** this place is quiet and peaceful. Our room was basic; bed, table and chair inside (and some chairs outside on the shared balcony), toilet, sink and shower. There was a TV that worked but not many English speaking channels, a wardrobe/shelf area and an air con unit. Bed was comfortable for Asia, shower warm and air con cool. Small window at the top of the room to allow light in. Balcony overlooked another building for rooms and a way in the distance you could see the sea. The pool was nice, didn’t look entirely like it was well kept, it was always a bit green tinged and full of leaves. But it was always a welcome cool after a long day. There were four sunbeds around the pool and a small patch of grass. My husband did get an ear infection but we don’t fully know whether it was from this pool or from diving but worth considering not getting your head in. The staff were very helpful, doing laundry for a reasonable price, directing us to recommended dive companies etc. Their English was good and they always seemed around to help.
