What guests liked
The pool was lovely and a beautiful part of the property. (3 reviews)
It was like a little oasis - peaceful, quiet and the food in the restaurant was really good. The owners and staff were very welcoming and did everything to make our stay pleasurable. After being in El Nido for a week, we were glad to be somewhere so peaceful.

Munting Paraiso was quiet and surrounded by nature; a nice contrast to downtown. The staff was accommodating and very helpful. We especially enjoyed their partnership with a local massage parlor to offer us massages in our room, which was available on short notice, relaxing, and affordable.

The staff are very polite.The service they provide was out of this world. This place was very private and quiet. I'm definitely coming back again.

Munting Paraiso is a lovely property with warm, friendly staff. The grounds are attractive, well groomed and clean. This is a different type of atmosphere than the cookie-cutter resorts. Each of the rooms are in their own separate building giving you a very private feeling. There are several very large very old trees on the grounds that add to the beautiful atmosphere. The pool is nice and clean. The staff is very attentive and courteous. The food at the restaurant is tasty. I give a 4-star rating to this superb property.

It was a nice quant little hotel. The service was great! A short 10-12 minute walk from other food places. It was very nice and quiet. We were only here for a day and a half. The room was a bit outdated and shower needed updating because it was getting rusty already. They were low on a lot of food items at their restaurant so we opted to not order from them. Pool is nice, and they have a small but workable gym. Front desk was very nice and polite. Not too much privacy as our window over looks other people’s balcony. But overall if you are looking for a cute short stay hotel, it’s definitely a great value! Will stay here again!

The staff were wonderful, especially Lou. The rooms were a bit unclean, even after the staff cleaned them. In our room, there was toothpaste on the cupboard under the bathroom sink. We stayed for over a week and had the room cleaned 3 times and the toothpaste was still there. The toilet wasn't cleaned properly and the general cleaning if the room was quite shoddy. I enjoyed the stay, overall, and loved the pool area and the slight remoteness of it. Just needs to be kept to a simple standard. Thanks for everything. Just trying to help by my little complaints.

Gorgeous property! Spacious bungalows with porches perfect for a smoke, dining, or just relaxing. Loved the roomy bathroom and shower. The pool is beautiful and the restaurant as tasty meals. Not far from the airport. Any running around you need to do is accessible easily by motor trike.

This property is truly a diamond in the ruff and probably the best kept secret on the island
The staff will make you feel like the one of their family. The rooms are spacious.

I appreciated that it was a bungalow and had a good amount of space. The pool was lovely and I enjoyed having the hammock. The restaurant was convenient, and overall it is a lovely place to stay. We were only there for a night in transit back from El Nido.

Property was nice, quiet and seemed pretty well maintained. They are a bit pricey on the snacks and drinks, (including water) that are in the room refrigerators and don't let you check out until they send someone to check the room. That was a bit unusual for me as this was considered an upscale hotel.

Above all the positives was the hospitality of the staff. Communication was efficient and everyone was friendly and welcoming from the moment we were timely met at the airport to until we were well beyond the property. Everyone is smiling and approachable and ready to help out, from if you need anything to just a conversation.
The stay is perfect. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the surrounding was so relaxing we even decided to stay in one evening, enjoying the surrounds instead of exploring the city.
When we return to Puerto Princesa, we hope that Munting Paraiso will have a room for us again.

It was almost like that small town feeling. Service was right on the place was spotless. The owner and his daughter were always right there so if there ever was problem it would be immediately taken care of but there never was a problem. The rooms were big with full kitchen where I could cook if I want to . Security was great. The restaurant is never packed so no waiting for your food. The amenities were great a lot of tour options. Massage, and transportation. I will definitively be back to this property my next vacation because I am going back to Palawan and will start here.

This is currently my favorite hotel, all things considered, and I generally recommend checking it out. I have had a number of irritations on this particular stay that reflect a downward trend, which I hope are addressed.
* When I arrived at 10pm no one was expecting me and it required a phone call since the front desk does not speak English to allow me access to my room.
* My villa had no sheets or pillow cases when I arrived.
* The safe had low batteries and it took three days and four requests to get the batteries replaced, including a five minute phone call between the staff who arrived with the wrong batteries and chose to discuss this with the office while in the room on his phone rather than go get the batteries - he never came back.
* The hair dryer in the bathroom requires an adapter to plug in, which was missing, requiring a delay until one could be found at an awkward moment.
* When ordering a banana I was told that no bananas were on site. Instead of going 100 meters down the street and buying a banana or keeping them in stock, I was told over three separate phone calls all the reasons why no bananas could be produced until the next market day so I had to go buy them myself and leave some with the kitchen - incredibly irritating.
* No black tea was re-stocked.
Whether it is failing to replace old batteries, make the beds, stock the kitchen or accommodate a very simple guest request, I have the clear impression that guest service is not the priority.

Small quaint resort, 12 bungalows. Nice pool and stay is friendly. More laid back not run like a professional resort, had an excursion at 7am went to the restaurant at 6am (posted opening time) and nobody around until 6:20... Many things on the menu were not available. Nothing within walking distance...

좋은점: 순박하고 친절한 시골감성.
부족한 점: 수영장 청결에 조금 더 신경 써주었으면 좋았을 것 같습니다. 물이 페트병으로 제공되지 않고 물병에 담겨 있어 위생적으로 의심되어 마시지 않았습니다.

분위기 좋고 조용히 쉬기 좋아요 하지만 요청을 해야만 청소를 해주는지 4박 동안 청소 한번 안했어요
식당은 가격대비 별로여서 몇번 먹고 외부로 나가서 먹었어요
SM몰은 나갈땐 50페소 돌아올땐 80페소(4인탑승) 들었구요
여행업체 통해서 투어신청했는데 픽업왔어요
숙소 밖에 소파 테이블 있고 해먹도 있는데 모기가 너무 많아서 힘들어요 선풍기라도 있으면 좋았을텐데요
수영장은 생각보다 깊고 작아요
