I stayed at a hotel that had a few ups and downs. The rooms were quite spacious and had a private balcony, but it was a bit odd that they didn't get much sunlight even though the hotel is called Sunlight. The service was good overall, although the restaurant staff could be more welcoming. The location was very convenient, close to both the tourist attractions and dining options. The dining experience was average with some room for improvement. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.

7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite being spacious with a big bathroom, had no window but a sliding door to a random hallway, which gave off a strange smell. On the bright side, the service was truly friendly and helpful, offering a range of amenities, but they could improve with softer beds and quieter rooms. The location was convenient for exploring Puerto Princesa but lacked some dining options. The dining experience was decent, with a variety of choices but could use improvement. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
