It was my first time to plan a trip for my family and being out of the country made it a little bit challenging. I just found out about this hotel 2 days prior to our trip to Palawan and inquired online. And Luz (I guess their marketing manager) responded to my e-mail immediately, And when I gave her a... More

The hotel has very nice, spotless rooms, all in octagonal shapes, with private amenities, and quiet air con, along with fridge and TV. The high ceiling along with the post bed make the room seem like a small castle. The beds are very comfortable. There is a decent size pool, well kept and a nice restaurant that serves terrific food,... More

The staff are very friendly and the owner certainly has a lot of pride in this place. The rooms are small but very clean and all have flat screen... More

My future wife (at the time) and I stayed here in 09 for the first time. We booked a group tour package to the underground river/gator farm and prison etc w/other attractions nearby. We had some rude American born Filipinos in our first group that didn't like my wife (Filipina) and I (American) being together there. I took care of... More

Upon arrival at the airport a driver with a bright smile brought us to the hotel, which is located only a few minutes away. Welcome drinks served by a very alert staff at the lobby. You feel at home from the first moment. Our room was furnished with a Rattan Canopy Bed and a unique Rattan Ceiling. Matress was so... More

A long way from everything. Staff in the bar/restaurant were nice & food was okay. Swimming pool was nice but small and it closes early. Room was nothing special. It is a bit expensive, particularly as there are many cheaper options closer to central Puerto Princesa. Hotel transport was very expensive. Bathroom was horrible. Too many middle-aged German male guests,... More

My friends and I went on our first trip to Palawan and we couldn't be more happy to have decided to stay in Dolce Vita. We were promptly fetched at the airport and were handed our welcome drinks upon arrival at the hotel around 10 minutes later. Check in was a breeze and even the manager, Ms. Lut, was on... More

I stayed at Dolce Vita few nights in March 2012 before I moved to Deep Forest Inn Resort. I felt welcomed by only one staff (an elderly waiter). Although the Hotel is very nice built, it is overpriced for what you get. I found it rather dirty (even the pool-chairs aren’t clean) and unfriendly. Breakfast is also not worth it,... More
