Munting Paraiso

The hotel really exceeded our expectations. They offered airport pickup and drop off 300 pesos each way which was a really good price and also convenient as it was our first time in Puerto Princesa/Palawan. The driver was easy to find in the airport arrivals area and he was very helpful and nice. When we got to the hotel, the reception staff were really friendly and told us all the information we needed, including letting us know about tourist activities like city tour packages, massages, island hopping etc. They also had a golf cart to help take us and our luggages to our rooms which was really helpful because the property was bigger than expected. The rooms were also very spacious and the shower room too. One of the best parts was definitely the nature and vibe of the hotel. The rooms were basically like mini cottages with your own outside seating area including a hammock which was my favourite part, we loved to use it every day and night to relax, drink, have a nice sit after dinner etc. The outdoor area was surrounded by the beautifully landscaped gardens; there were beautiful plants like bamboos, a massive overhanging tree, snake plants etc and it looked even more beautiful when it rained which it did a couple times during our stay. Another great part of the hotel was the restaurant. There was a lot of food on the menu, including delicious classic Filipino dishes but also pasta, sandwiches etc. They had amazing mango and calamansi smoothies, beer, and nicely made cocktails. The restaurant staff were nice&friendly also. We also booked a city tour package for 700pesos each which was a good price because we went to many sites around PP, including our favourite the Crocodile farm getting to see the massive crocs and holding a baby one too, the tour guide was also friendly and funny :) We also booked a massage and the masseuse came to our room which was convenient. Everything, from scenery to service, was excellent. Overall, an unforgettable experience.

Not much to dislike, maybe just that the wifi voucher you're given is only allowed for one device so couldn't use it for my laptop but wasn't a big deal since I just used my personal hotspot on my phone whenever I needed it.

I recently had a pleasant stay at this establishment. The room provided ample space, and the bed was comfortable, allowing for a good night's sleep. I appreciated the presence of a kitchen area and a proper refrigerator, which added convenience to my stay. Also, everything was in good shape (unfortunately, that is not so obvious here in the Philippines). The location is good, close to the airport and there are many day trips that will pick you up. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would recommend it.

I didn't like that there were many, many mosquitoes. So come prepared and bring a repellant!

The staff is very friendly and super attentive to your comfort, the owner is very sweet also ♥️🙏 The room is spacious with very nice decoration, you feel like in paradise with the big shower and very silent ac 😉 The garden is like heaven, silent place very very nice If I could put more than 10 I'll do it, Im more than happy of this hôtel its very Paraiso 😍♥️😍 The swimming pool is also very goood The food and the service are more than good, the food is very tasty I'll come back for sure ♥️♥️🙏 Salamat Po for this paradise place

Nothing All was perfect 😁

Everything! Munting Paraiso, meaning small paradise, lives up to its name and then some. 12 individual villas, each with a verandah complete with outdoor setting and hammock to relax and while away an hour of two. Set in 6 hectares of beautiful gardens with a canopy of Acacia trees, palm trees and roof top gardens, couldn't have asked for more. Set amongst the gardens is a generous sized pool with plenty of pool furniture, and plenty of shade. Heinz and Esperanza have invested heart and soul developing this facility, they and their staff made the whole experience memorable. We will definitely be returning to Munting Paradiso when next we visit Palawan.

Nice cottage with terrace and hammock Friendly staff. Greeted with welcome drink, organized airport tranfer (300 pesos one way)- nice big van, perfectly on time. Good and reasonably priced food in on site restaurant.

Wifi connection is slow, signal unstable-on and off. Soundproof is not good- could hear all neighbours talks on their terraces. Pool has great hanging chairs over the water but water itself is not clean at all- it was not circulating and looked like a soup. Decided to skip swimming. Lots of mosquitos outside, so could not spend much fime on the terrace, which looks comfy and really nice.

The people , it was very quite and only 300m from the Prestine beach. There were only some local people swimming and some fisherman getting ready to go fishing so not touristy at all. I loved it. The foid in the restaurant was excellent food.

It was a bit far ( 3 KM) from the center so in the evening there was nothing to do. The WiFi in the room was very unstable. You needed to stay outside in order not to be interrupted.

The roads leading to Munting Paraiso had me second guessing my choice of hotel. How pleasantly surprised I was to see this little paradise! Check in was efficient with clear explanations of what we needed to know. The staff were incredibly helpful and even surprised us with a special birthday message for my husband. The room was spacious with a private balcony. Laundry service was inexpensive and timely. Housekeeping was helpful and meals at the restaurant were reasonably priced.

For us the main drawback is that guests were smoking in the dining area which, to sensitive noses and a baby, meant we ended up taking our meals in our room.

We enjoyed this place as we needed to rest after a frantic first week travelling in the Philippines. The place is quiet, and our room was large with an amazingly comfy large double bed (best bed we've had so far in the Philippines), great bathroom and large terrace. Although a bit off track, it is easy to reach the centre of town from the hotel with a tricycle (approx. 15 min) or a taxi. The hotel has a large and beautiful pool, unexposed to the sun, which we did not use, but many guests did. The restaurant offers breakfast and dishes that are satisfactory. But there are a number of places in town offering good food as well. Although we are not vegan, we loved Ver De restaurant in town - great food.

I think a bit more thoroughness is required in terms of cleaning, e.g. clearing the terrace table after breakfast, better cleaning of bathroom.

The hotel is very beautiful. Loved the design of the resort and the rooms, with a very nie terrace for every room. Even though it is very central, you feel like you’re in the middle of nature. Personell was very friendly and helpful. They offer tours, laundry service (good price and done in less than a day:)) and airport transfer for a really fair price. The restaurant is also exceptional! We tried a lot of the dishes, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and were never disappointed. There are delicious western dishes too if you don’t feel like Asian food all the time ;) Also, the prices are fair. Don’t understand the critique about the road going there, since it is really okay for Filipino standards! The rooms are also soundproof so the neighbours‘ roosters are not a problem :D

Pool area was nice, could however be a little better maintained (some leaves etc.). Still great!

The room was really spacious with a lovely outdoor seating area and hammock. The back room was big, the shower pressure was good and the water was hot. The restaurant on site had really yummy food, both western and Asian food options. The owner introduced himself and made us feel really welcome! The staff were also very helpful, and assisted us with booking airport transfers and a tricycle for around town. They also helped us book our tour in advance. They also booked us a massage for after checkout, and we were able to hang around the lobby to wait for our flight! We didn’t make use of the pool, but the area is really nice and has day beds and showers. Really nice villa layout and very quiet and peaceful.

There were some mosquitoes around, but they provide a bug zapper outside all the room doors, and a lot of bug zappers around the restaurant. We didn’t have an issue with any bugs inside the room.
