Our stay at Astoria Palawan was absolutely awesome! 😍
Such a great place to be—everything was perfect. The food was delicious, we never ran out of fun things to do, and the vibes were just right. We enjoyed playing beach volleyball, kayaking around, swimming in the nice pools, trying out the water park, and just chilling or swimming by the beach. Definitely a place we’d happily go back to! Highly recommended if you want a fun and relaxing time.

Service: 100/100! I request thru email if they can make a room surprise for our anniversary celebration, and they did it! All staffs are accommodating. Kudos to them!
Breakfast: buffet. Every meal is served well. Overall: I really recommend this hotel.💯

You can even see the sunrise from the room's balcony. In the early morning, you can hear the chirping of insects and birds, creating a full resort atmosphere. The buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant next to the lobby, offering great service and delicious food. After a satisfying meal, the resort's garden and green spaces are amazing. Strolling over to the mangrove boardwalk, the intertidal ecology is very rich. Thank you to the resort for letting me experience the luxury of Puerto Princesa Garden Resort in Palawan. For accommodation, I recommend choosing a higher floor to see the entire view of the resort. Once you check in, there's no need to go out for tours; just enjoy yourselves properly within the resort. From morning till night, the overall atmosphere is fantastic, and the service is great. You should stay at least two nights to truly appreciate the beauty and many facilities of the resort. I took tons of videos during my stay, including check-in, room tour, resort facilities, mangrove boardwalk, floating water pads, breakfast tour, stunning sunrise, rooftop Japanese restaurant tour, etc., which will be uploaded successively to my YouTube channel. You can search for '電眼帥偉' or 'Jackyawei'.

Highly recommended hotel in Puerto Princesa… clean and friendly staff. the buffet breakfast was good. and good coffee. not so near the city proper but near to Robinson’s , Jollibee and Chowking. they had a free airport pick up and drop off.

We had a really lovely stay at The Funny Lion Puerto Princesa! The accommodation was super nice, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and all the facilities were in great condition.
We only stayed for one night—the last night of our 7-day Puerto Princesa–El Nido trip—and honestly wished we could have stayed longer.
Special shoutout to Sir Nath for being extra accommodating and making our short stay even more pleasant.
Would definitely recommend The Funny Lion to anyone visiting Puerto Princesa!

Best front beach resort I've ever been, Microtel Puerto Princesa has the best beach view, beautiful scenery, very clean, quiet and peaceful morning and night - far from the noise of town. 15-30mins from the town proper good thing they have van shuttle that can accomodate you when you need to buy somenthing or eat at the mall. Their staff is very accomodation, pleasant and easy to approach.

Quick facts about Puerto Princesa
General info
What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa
What to do in Puerto Princesa
Puerto Princesa is best known for outdoor and nature-led experiences, led by Tours and Outdoor & sports activities that dominate bookings on Klook through the year. Expect a steady rhythm: demand climbs into February and January then eases through the mid-year quiet spell, with October being the calmest month. Popular choices include coastal water activities and visits to parks and gardens, plus attraction passes for multi-site days. Use Klook booking data to time activities around the busiest months and the calmer shoulder season; decide whether you want peak atmosphere or quieter exploration.
Best months to visit Puerto Princesa
Demand peaks in February and is lowest in October, according to Klook booking data, so February is liveliest while October is the quietest month. Prices move differently: the priciest month on Klook was September and the cheapest was February, so crowds and prices diverge—February brings high demand but typically lower median prices, while September is relatively expensive despite quieter demand. For lower prices with manageable crowds aim for February through March; for a peak-season atmosphere choose January or February.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | USD 26 |
| February | Peak demand | USD 18 |
| March | Busier than usual | USD 18 |
| April | Busier than usual | USD 31 |
| May | About average | USD 32 |
| June | About average | USD 34 |
| July | Quieter than usual | USD 34 |
| August | Quieter than usual | USD 31 |
| September | Quieter than usual | USD 38 |
| October | Very quiet | USD 33 |
| November | About average | USD 33 |
| December | Busier than usual | USD 31 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers book activities with a little planning: on average they secure experiences about 5 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around three weeks out. That means you can be flexible and often book a day or two before travel, but for peak months such as February it's wise to lock in must-do tours earlier. Use Klook to check availability and snap up options a few weeks out for high-demand dates; for quieter months you can book closer to your trip. All guidance above is based on Klook booking data.
