Food great ! Pool amazing! Personal pool, a large general pool, great cooking (rare) and the personnel was fantastic. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms huge. The only downside were the roaches (3/4) walking around on the buffet during breakfast. The breakfast is well protected, but it is still a little unsettling. ##### Guillaume Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### thomas Feb 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely people and property.

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 ##### Ivy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tarrah Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Overall it was a nice place and we had a great stay! It was a little farther from most of the mains areas than I thought it would be as the tuk tuk rides were long. And the bathroom smelled a bit like mold and I could visibly see mold in the bathroom so there’s that. And we got the private pool room but couldn’t really swim in it because it got dirty quick. But the staff was great and we had a lovely stay! ##### Tarrah Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### RENAUD Aug 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Séjour pour deux nuits : villa avec deux belles chambres pour 8 personnes, avec petite piscine privative (salles de bains originales). ##### RENAUD Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Annalyn May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful - but beware mosquitos The place is BEAUTIFUL. Service is good but like most places in the Philippines not necessarily timely (for example: breakfast is posted that it starts at 7, of the four mornings we were here it wasn’t all ready till 7:10-7:50.) The private pools by the family villas were amazing for privacy, they skim the pools and maintain the property well. The only issue with the property is the mosquito population is WILD. Even using OFF we were eaten up and the mosquitos were everywhere. Seems like some spraying or torches to bring down the mosquito population would be beneficial. Also they have listed that they have an exercise room - It’s a sweet little area with only an exercise bike and one machine. So if that’s something you were looking forward to… Don’t. The WiFi is amazing. The breakfasts are good (made to order omelets or crepes) along with food lines I would return again, but being more mosquito sprays and not book so many early morning tours to reduce breakfast stress timing wise ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d1ab1b6-8eb2-4c08-ad18-d93e3b75b0cb-1748319702667.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Annalyn Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael May 18, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The main problem was we arrived late and staff was just leaving. The bed was made but when we took off the cover we realized the sheets had not been changed. There was someone else’s hair and stains. The management was home so there was no one to do anything. When I told them in the morning they did not acknowledge that is was an issue. We put towels on the bed to sleep that night and checked out first thing ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenneth Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was clean and cool. Very nice bed. We could walk right out of the room and within a few steps be in the pool. The pool bar was excellent with a great bartender. ##### Kenneth Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Delfin Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The villa was lovely and well kept.

This is a fantastic little place for a couples retreat. It’s not lavish but it’s small and friendly. Great if you’re going out and about day tripping. Small but quiet. Stayed in a villa with private pool. They could do more to make it private as people walking past have full view so it’s not really private. Grounds are lush and green. There’s really no amenities like a big hotel but you don’t have the crowds either. Restaurant is very average and we generally went out to eat. Service was exceptional. We had a great time. ##### Jason Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jan 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxury Amazing place, great value, opulence on a budget ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FA802FAC1CF138E01EDEC517882DCE9AB1B8E50B1737197144656.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8D15581782A1B143C0130A0F949085B90CB0FA4F1737197144537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49B2212E49A1B2911C74A07DABB85B51B806204E1737197144109.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77DCCBD06E65654EFF2F3100157998BC81F6F4A51737197142140.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saori Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities とても親切なスタッフのおかげで安心して過ごすことができました。部屋もとても清潔でエアコンもよく効きました。強いて言うなら、少し市街地から離れていて周りに何もないですが、バイクで10分くらいでモールなどもあるので特に問題はありませんでした。 ##### Saori Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jean jacques Dec 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort tres bel établissement , bonne reception, bon management ##### jean jacques Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monika Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort För oss var det ett toppendtälle att landa på efter en lång resa .

La villa avec piscine est agréable sauf dans la salle de bain (très jolie) où il y a une odeur de moisi malgré une aeration naturelle. Le petit déjeuner est très bien avec des plats locaux en buffet et des options à demander ( baguette,confiture,crepe,œufs). Le retaurant est bien mais plus cher qu'en ville. Attention, l'hôtel est loin du centre. Le transfert aéroport est rapide et pratique pour un prix raisonnable. ##### Jean-luc Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### abdul karim Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff , cleanliness good Location, breakfast not good ##### abdul karim Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing hideaway Very comfortable cozy place , quiet and relaxing time for sure!
