Delicious Culinary Experience

“During my stay, I indulged in a variety of meals and was particularly impressed by the Aloha Squid, chicken curry, and the Al Faro Burger. Each dish was packed with flavor and presented beautifully. The breakfast offered a great selection, including crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes, and a range of cereals. I loved how they catered to different tastes while still delivering quality.” view full review

Relaxing Poolside Retreat

“The pool area was absolutely stunning, providing a perfect setting to unwind and take in the magnificent sunsets. I enjoyed lounging on the sunbeds and found the overall atmosphere to be serene and refreshing. While there were times when sunbeds were in short supply, the hammocks scattered around the area were an excellent alternative for relaxation.” view full review

Lovely Room with a View

“I stayed in the tower room, which offered almost a 360-degree view of the amazing landscape. Although there were no traditional windows, the plastic zip-up covers and mosquito nets provided comfort and safety. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials I needed to enjoy my stay.” view full review

I had a truly good stay at Al Faro Cosmio Hotel in Palawan. The stunning hilltop location offered amazing views and was perfect for a peaceful getaway. While the staff were remarkably friendly and attentive, the lack of air conditioning and some inconsistent dining experiences were minor drawbacks. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking to relax in a beautiful setting. 🌅💖

I had an amazing long weekend at Al Faro, enjoying the stunning views and the relaxing atmosphere. The service was attentive and the staff went above and beyond, especially with my dietary needs.

I had the chance to stay at Al Faro Cosmio Hotel in Palawan, and it was such a nice experience. The amazing views and the friendly staff made my time there truly enjoyable. However, the seclusion means it's a bit of a trek to get to Coron town, so if you're planning to island hop a lot, that might be something to consider. Overall, I loved the ambiance and would highly recommend it for those looking for a peaceful getaway.
