Beautiful Resort with Good Restaurant Options
We came here to visit one of their restaurants and were impressed with how clean and beautiful the resort is. The pools were clean, and the staff members were friendly. We don't know how the rooms look since we didn't check in, but based on the reviews, they seem great.

Review of Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa Gym
Tucked away in the picturesque setting of Puerto Princesa, the Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa offers a plethora of amenities designed to enhance your relaxation and wellness experience. Among these, the gym stands out as an exceptional facility that caters to fitness enthusiasts and casual gym-goers alike. After spending some time working out there, here’s a detailed review of the gym’s features, equipment, and overall experience.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
One of the first things you notice upon entering the gym is the impressive array of equipment available. From free weights to advanced cardio machines, the gym is well-stocked with everything you need to achieve your fitness goals. The equipment is not only modern and well-maintained but also safe to use, which is a crucial aspect for any fitness facility. Whether you are a dedicated bodybuilder or just looking to maintain your fitness level, the gym has something to cater to your needs.
Hygiene and Cleanliness
In today's wellness environment, cleanliness is paramount. The gym at Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa takes hygiene very seriously. It is cleaned constantly throughout the day, ensuring that every user can feel secure about the state of the equipment they are using. This level of attention to cleanliness creates a welcoming atmosphere where you can focus solely on your workout, unbothered by any concerns about germs or contamination. The staff frequently restocks sanitizing supplies as well, allowing for a thorough cleaning of equipment between uses.
Motivating Ambiance and Views
What sets the gym apart from others is not only its equipment and hygiene standards but also its ambiance and breathtaking views. The gym is well-designed, with large windows that allow natural light to flood the space. The views of the resort’s beautiful surroundings serve as a fantastic backdrop while working out. Personally, I found that the scenic vistas enhanced my focus and motivation, helping me push beyond my target reps and conquer challenging workouts. Exercising with such a beautiful view can transform a mundane routine into an inspiring experience.

Overall, the gym at Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa has exceeded my expectations. It combines safety, cleanliness, and an inspiring environment into a fitness experience that caters to both casual visitors and serious athletes.

I rarely leave reviews, but our stay at Princesa Island Resort and Spa in Puerto Princesa was so disappointing that I feel compelled to warn others. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that guest experience is not a priority. The front desk staff were rude, unhelpful, and made us feel like we were a bother rather than valued guests.
We booked our room online and were not informed that there would be loud construction happening directly above the rooms starting at 8am. So much for sleeping in or enjoying a peaceful vacation. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable—hard as a rock—and the room itself was not clean. The curtain smelled strongly of mold and mildew, and the general cleanliness left a lot to be desired.
The on-site restaurants were another disaster. Service was painfully slow, and it seemed like the staff didn’t care. After waiting over an hour for dinner one night, we gave up and left. We couldn’t help but feel like we were treated differently for not being Filipino, which was deeply upsetting.
To make matters worse, the place was swarming with mosquitos, and the spa—which should’ve been relaxing—left me bruised. I asked for medium pressure during my massage and had to plead for them to go gentler, but was ignored.
Overall, it was a truly horrible experience. I would never stay here again and strongly advise others to avoid this place. There are far better options in Puerto Princesa—this resort is a huge disappointment.

I had a wonderful stay at Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa. The staff was attentive and helpful. The resort is beautiful and well-appointed. Breakfast was delicious and there was a wide variety of options. The transport to the airport was prompt and comfortable. I highly recommend staying at Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa.

Honestly, the place was okay. Had a lot to offer but definitely not as great as they advertise it to be. A lot of things are under construction or not well maintained.
They were also quite unresponsive to emails and calls prior to and during our stay. Taking up to 4 days before getting a response.
But what really hurts the experience is the reception. They aren’t very welcoming or accommodating at all. I booked this place for our honeymoon but it didn’t feel special at all. I had messaged them in advance but we were assigned a double room instead of a king. Requested to transfer but their general tone wasn’t very understanding. Only after I had complained about the room having a broken shower door they transferred us to another room (still a double though). Even then the room we got moved to had a stinky shower area due to the drain not working. It overflowed every time we showered. I didn’t say anything though since the guest services seemed very annoyed every time I called and I didn’t want to be a difficult guest.
There were also a couple of instances the staff had forgotten my orders at the restaurant. I don’t know if this is because they are understaffed or just forgetful. The pool attendants, room attendants, and security staff were always so polite and nice though.
The place and the service (especially) didn’t quite match my expectations based on their advertising and reviews I had read. But I guess if you don’t have any expectations this place is okay.
