"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 "

"It was a beautiful hotel only a few blocks away from the Porto princesa boardwalk walking. The only thing was everything in town was close for Good Friday catholic holiday.But it was fun walking in the boardwalk had lots of restaurants and the beach "

"This is a great place. One caveat, the beds are very hard."

"The hospitality was incredible! This is the real local experience in the forest, with a great pool food and drinks for you to enjoy!"

"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!"

"Excellent if you want to be close to the center of Puerto Princesa or by the airport. Beautiful property "

"Very friendly staff and the beds in the twin rooms were like giant pillows."
