The place is set back from the main road which is nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. WiFi was good. I had mango for breakfast every morning. They were very good. The decoration was a bit kitsch. I stayed in two different rooms and one definitely needed more updating than the second. Basic thing like broken light bulb (1 of 2 in the ceiling) should have been noticed before any guest checked in. The only complaint I have has to do with the tours they “sold” me after I booked. The sales manager sent me an email with different tour names and no description or explanation. I researched them and decided to book 2 tours back to back with the hotel since I wanted to pay by credit card on the hotel bill so I didn’t have to carry so much cash. I got there late and the tour was for 7am pick up the following morning. The receptionist had no record of any tours I booked. The sales manager never booked the tours even though I received an email telling me all the tours were confirmed. Luckily, the receptionist could book the tours for me at 11pm. The whole thing created stress I didn’t need at the beginning of a vacation. Then i was presented with the bill for the tours for cash payment. I asked what the other people on the tour paid and I was charged a 25% premium. I told the hotel for that premium, they could take the payment in credit card. Not a big big deal. Just unpleasant.…

Great and beautiful oasis in Puerto Princesa. Rooms are large with comfortable beds, and good AC. The grounds are well taken care and lush, and the hotel is secluded and quiet. The staff could not be nicer, and I am so glad I stayed here. Highly recommend.

On arrival the staff are so friendly, the grounds are beautiful and relaxing, the hotel is set back from the main road and all you can hear is the birds singing, our room was on the first floor with table and chairs on the veranda, on entering the room we were taking back how the room was presented, very tastefully decorated and only the best of everything, we had the best night sleep, we had meals throughout the day and there is free coffee and water whenever you want at the bar, l would highly recommend a stay. Thank you to the staff and Robin the owner making us feel welcome.

We loved our stay, it was a very relaxing quiet oasis. Airport close by and free shuttle was quick and easy. Front desk helpful with advice, taxis, getting around town. We missed our first booking due to airline cancellation and they allowed us to change to a different date at no extra charge. The room was perfect, clean, spacious, not sure if they're all the same, ours had a small fridge, AC, ceiling fan, variety of lightning options, and the bathroom was lovely(if you can say that about a bathroom)! Restaurant was great, pool, gardens, and the Marilyn Monroe statue, oo la la!

Wonderfully cozy hotel. Very nice staff and close to the center. About 1 euro and a maximum of 5 minutes. Very peaceful and quiet, small but nice pool. Good food in the restaurant and nice staff at the bar. Recommended

If you're planning to go on a trip in Palawan Puerto Princesa this is the best place for you. It's very clean, convenient and comfortable. Staff are very accommodating. My partner and I loved the ambiance of the place cos it's very cozy and relaxing. Will definitely back at this place for sure. Good job to all the staff and on the management on maintaining a good place like this. Also, the hotel is only 5 mins away from the Airport and they have a free shuttle for that.

Stayed one night then went off to El Nido for 4 nights. Will be back again for another 3 nights soon. All the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help. Friendly barman and morning breakfast staff. Breakfast is completely good. I cannot understand why people are moaning about it. Does the job! Room was comfortable and I asked for an extra pillow & got it delivered. I look forward to returning this week.

The hotel and our room were nice. The breakfast selection, made to order, each morning was great. The pool was descent but much smaller than it looks in pictures. But it was very dissapointing that after our flight arrival was delayed we were told we could no longer have a free airport pickup which was supposed to be included, because they did not have a driver available. There were several drivers available to pick up passengers at the airport so paid for our own transport. The cost was only 300 pesos, not much, but it was a very dissapointing level of service compared to what we have gotten at other hotels in the 4 previous times in Puerto Princesa.

Dear guest, thank You very much for Your review. It is nice to hear, that You enjoyed our hotelpremises and the breakfast. Since You have been several times at Puerto Princesa, You were indulged by the former free shuttle service from and to the airport. Dolce Vita Hotel is one of the few hotels in town, that are still offering this service for free, but only from 6am until 6 pm. Most other hotels, like in Manila, are no longer offering a free shuttle service because of the high costs for drivers, cars etc. Puerto Princesa has now, unlike before, more Taxi Services and Tricycle Services to bring the guests from the Airport to the hotels. Yours very friendly Robert and Elsa Jilg Owner
