Al Faro Cosmio Hotel Palawan

On arrival tired, it was very difficult to climb on foot without an elevator even though it is indicated with an elevator on your site, therefore false advertising. The significant climb should have been indicated for people with heart problems like me for example. In the room, no air conditioning, not reported on the site, fans which blow hot air because everything is open, openings without windows in the bathroom, without privacy because the WC is not entirely closed . In the bedroom you have two shutters open without being able to close them, especially when it rains. No TV, it's an inconvenience especially when you have nothing to do. The very small swimming pool for 16 people. The wifi doesn't work. Lizards pooping everywhere, and to top it all off, you have mosquitoes. As it is very hot in the room, no fridge, you have two very hot small bottles. For fresh bottles, you have to pay for them. Everything is designed to buy at the hotel, the prices of which are very expensive. It is not possible to buy or eat outside, because you are isolated from everything. Usually in all the hotels I have been to, you have a kettle with coffee, powdered milk, sugars, in this hotel nothing. All night long, since it's not isolated, you have the noise of boats, the noise of the neighbor, the noise of insects. The menu prices are very expensive, the hotel benefits from this because you can't go out to eat, there is nothing for miles. It says indoor swimming pool, I didn't see it (false advertising). It says leisure, I didn't see anything, apart from free canoeing. It says beach, I didn't see anything, apart from a place to moor the boat. I don't understand the people who liked this hotel. For all his explanations, I had to change hotels without any refund. It is not normal. Be careful if you have health problems, the climb is very steep to arrive at the reception. I wouldn't have been able to climb for a week, it would have been difficult for me. The boss is very unpleasant. Not recommended. Be careful Descriptions are misleading. Thank you to the very friendly and helpful staff.

We stayed 2 nights (but too little 😁, it was hard to leave this heavenly place)... It's idyllic: the view, the sunsets, the swimming pool is great, there is a reading corner with hammock , the rooms are pleasant, the four-poster beds, a small private terrace, the staff are absolutely adorable!!! We were lucky, the other guests during our stay were super sociable. So there was an incredible atmosphere. We tried the massages... Super good, they are carried out in a dedicated place... Little advice, ask for the software because the masseuses have strength in their hands :) The day trip on the boat was great! We were able to snorkel in some superb places. By leaving early you partly avoid the mass of tourists. The guides were very attentive, even if we are average swimmers. The midday meal was unforgettable, a grilled fish on the boat to share, enjoyed in a cabin on stilts by the turquoise sea... You can rent a mask and snorkel. Bring cash because you have to pay a tax on each island visited. We also ate very well. I recommend the grilled "aloha" squid stuffed with vegetables, the shrimp with garlic sauce (the shrimp alone are a little sad), the lobster was not unforgettable, rather take the "tropicana" fish, crazy sauce with bananas and pineapples. A massacre. There is a happy hour on certain cocktails, it's also nice by the pool... Thanks to the Al Faro team 🙏
