Microtel by Wyndham Hotels in Palawan

I was staying in Porto Princesa and had to book at the last minute. I was able to confirm it quite easily and it looked pretty good on the website.Its not the fanciest of hotels or the newest but I does have some good things going for it. 1. Its not in town, its right on the beach. 2. We got fantastic sunsets, which you cannot get in town due to large mountain. I am not a sunrise person.\ 3. Access to tour boats was easy, right outside my hotel/ 4. Some good restauants were close by, not as much in town , but ok 5. Town center was only a 10 minute, trike ride away. All in all, my experience with Red Doors was pretty good, air con worked ok, bathroom was clean, bed was comfortable, I had plenty of space in my room and best of all, I opened my door, ( ask for room 19) and the beach was literaly 10 feet away at Hi Tide.

The hotel is behind a mountain, which means the only way in and out is with their transfers in 4x4, that are absurdly expensive. There is a 3 min path through the forest to a point where a tricycle can pick you up, but you need to call them ahead. The description in booking is not accurate, there is no 6 min walking to el nido, it is more 15 min tricycle + 3 min walking. I would have loved to know this in advance, we travel with kids and would have gone for an easier option. The premium villas are up the mountain, you need to go by funicular, which sometimes is not working due to maintenance issues, then you have to get a car up to your villa, both things you should plan ahead, the funicular operator is not always there, neither the cars. Also the funicular is not working early in the morning. The breakfast is supposed to start at 6 am, which is a reasonable hour if you are planning to go to a tour, but the 3 days that we went at that time, not everything was ready. They picked us up from the airport with a pick up, the luggage was behind in the open and arrived completely covered in dust, the butler tried to clean it but it wasn’t easy. There are several things in the villa that weren’t working properly, like hair dryer, really bad smell in the toilet, dirt in the curtains… but those were small issues, the main issue we had is that in our last night our rooms were full of bugs, they were everywhere and it was impossible to sleep like that with bugs crawling over us, so we moved to a much smaller villa down the mountain and they gave us a discount due to the downgrade. The discount was nice and the staff did their best with the situation, but we lost more than 1 hour trying to kill the bugs to sleep there and also in the morning we had to review all the clothes in the luggage and remove the dead bugs after the fumigation. The pool toilets are out of order and you need to go to a first floor. In summary I don’t think the above is acceptable in a 5 starts hotel with the price they have. The tours were absurdly expensive, but I can’t tell if they were nice because we outsourced.

The pool on the photos doesnt exist
