Great place like it's hidden from the road and nice size pool with few guestrooms so you can actually go for a swim. Room was fabulous and clean. Only gripe is that it takes a while to fill the bath tub Air con was good. Nice relax seats by the pool. Breakfast was ok but it changes every day Staff was helpful Definitely would came back

Carpe Diem Resort has a lot of potential. The pool area is beautiful, and the staff were friendly throughout our stay. The room was clean and nicely designed, with a magnificent bathroom. The beds were a bit stiff, and the walls were thin, so we could hear noise from the next room. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. The food felt subpar and overly fancy when a simple Filipino breakfast would have been much better. The quality did not match the extra cost. Several interns were managing breakfast but seemed untrained, spending most of their time chatting instead of helping guests. Overall, it is a lovely place with promise, but the food and staff training need improvement to match the beauty of the resort.

Overall it was a nice place and we had a great stay! It was a little farther from most of the mains areas than I thought it would be as the tuk tuk rides were long. And the bathroom smelled a bit like mold and I could visibly see mold in the bathroom so there’s that. And we got the private pool room but couldn’t really swim in it because it got dirty quick. But the staff was great and we had a lovely stay!

Beautiful - but beware mosquitos

The place is BEAUTIFUL. Service is good but like most places in the Philippines not necessarily timely (for example: breakfast is posted that it starts at 7, of the four mornings we were here it wasn’t all ready till 7:10-7:50.) The private pools by the family villas were amazing for privacy, they skim the pools and maintain the property well. The only issue with the property is the mosquito population is WILD. Even using OFF we were eaten up and the mosquitos were everywhere. Seems like some spraying or torches to bring down the mosquito population would be beneficial. Also they have listed that they have an exercise room - It’s a sweet little area with only an exercise bike and one machine. So if that’s something you were looking forward to… Don’t. The WiFi is amazing. The breakfasts are good (made to order omelets or crepes) along with food lines I would return again, but being more mosquito sprays and not book so many early morning tours to reduce breakfast stress timing wise

The main problem was we arrived late and staff was just leaving. The bed was made but when we took off the cover we realized the sheets had not been changed. There was someone else’s hair and stains. The management was home so there was no one to do anything. When I told them in the morning they did not acknowledge that is was an issue. We put towels on the bed to sleep that night and checked out first thing

A Hidden Gem of Tranquility and Charm! Carpe Diem Villa and Resort is a true oasis in Puerto Princesa! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the peaceful, Balinese-inspired atmosphere, surrounded by lush greenery and elegant sculptures. The rooms are spotless, beautifully designed, and well-equipped — we especially loved the private pool access, which made the stay feel extra luxurious. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, even helping us plan local tours and arranging transport when needed. The main pool area is stunning and well-maintained — perfect for lounging with a drink from the poolside bar. Dining at their restaurant was a delightful surprise. The fusion of French and Filipino flavors made for a unique and satisfying experience, though we would have appreciated a bit more variety in the breakfast options. While the resort is tucked away from the main town, it’s a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Just be prepared to arrange transportation if you plan to explore more of the city. Overall, Carpe Diem is the perfect mix of comfort, relaxation, and attentive service. We’re already planning our next visit! Rating: 4.7/5
