Carpe Diem Villas & Resort Dive & Stay resort

We were made to feel truly special during our time here, and I've never experienced housekeeping of such a high standard. The room was spotless, and made up spotlessly each and every day! The bathroom was also stunning. It was a real shame the weather was really bad during our stay here, with severe flooding in Puerto Princesa that made travelling very challenging from the hotel. But the staff were superb, and continued to do everything they could to make our stay enjoyable.

Carpe Diem Resort Review Our initial reservation was for three days, but we decided to extend our stay because of how well we felt. From the first moment we arrived, we found ourselves in a carefully decorated, pleasant, and clean space, where the connection with nature is truly felt. The rooms are spacious and spotless. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous supply of towels and the presence of a bathroom with exterior windows, always well ventilated. The cleaning team is highly professional, ensuring a consistently clean and welcoming environment. The pool is perfectly landscaped and impeccably maintained. The resort staff stands out for their professionalism and empathy, offering a warm and attentive service at all times. The resort's design is very well thought out. The dining room, located outdoors and surrounded by lush vegetation, provides a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. A special detail is the large sign with the phrase Carpe Diem, which, besides being an inspiring motto, is precisely my favorite. At this point in life, I know that time is the most valuable thing we have. We don't have to wait for the perfect moment, because the moment is now. I want to give a special mention to Jayson for his great professionalism and dedication. Without a doubt, a magnificent stay that I would recommend to anyone looking for comfort, nature, and exceptional service

Exquisite service, extremely kind people from front office, to housekeeping, to the lovely young man standing at breakfast. We booked the two bedroom villa which was very very spacious and clean. I have never seen as many amenities in a hotel room, even though we have stayed at a large amount of 5 star hotels around the world. Anything you think of they had it, from bathrobes, to ALL toiletries and EVEN a weighing scale!! Was nice to check how much weight we had put on during the holiday haha. Breakfast was included and we had one of the best breakfasts out of all our stays in the Philippines. It wasn’t a huge buffet, but perfect choices for everyone to have a lovely breakfast. Also one of the few places (if not the first) where breakfast tea was offered during breakfast instead of only coffee. The kids had a blast at the pool. I could not recommend this place enough, it’s just the perfect hotel in Puerto Princessa. Staff go above and beyond and deserve everything they get.

The rooms are spacious and quite lovely, a nice retreat after a hot day out sightseeing. The bathroom was nice too and the bed was very comfortable. The gardens are tropical style, with the pool being so close to our room, only a few steps away. It is a small, quiet boutique style accommodation. There is a guard out the front, so you feel quite safe. Little village shop out the front to the left opposite to buy cheaper beer and water if you need. The staff were great, friendly and helpful.

This is not the first time we have stayed at this hotel (we are residents in Palawan). This time we were here with friends and rented a villa for five people (4 adults and a kid) instead of a room only. The villa is a separate building, divided into two spacious bedrooms, each with a large bathroom (one of them even has a bathtub with hot water). The interior is lovingly designed and the design is unique (this applies to the entire hotel complex, including the spacious main pool). The rooms are nicely furnished and functional. There is everything a traveler could wish for. One could almost call it luxurious. In addition, there is an additional private, small swimming pool attached to the villa, and the water was even changed during our stay. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant has also improved significantly since our last stay. What I also personally appreciate: The noisy loudspeaker that was at the bar at the large swimming pool on our last visit has since been removed. Thank you! The Internet in the rooms works well, as does the entertainment system. Since we came by car, we were also happy about the parking space. To sum it up: We are completely satisfied and can highly recommend this hotel. As mentioned above, we live in Palawan and we have stayed at many places to escape for the week-ends. Due to our experience, we dare to say that Carpe Diem is one of the best choices to stay.
