Chindonan Island Scuba Diving Vacations

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

Staff always generous and attentive. Thank you.

Astoria Palawan was a nice visit. Pros: pool, cafe ( wishes it opened sooner and closed a lot later), outdoors green and lush and beautiful gardens. Walk to the beach. Breakfast and dinner buffets. Entertainment . Tours. Cons: kinda smelled and was humid in the hallway but it is in a tropical paradise. Room was roomy but bed too firm. Overall a nice visit

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!
