Stunning Republic Reviews

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Stunning Republic, and I can't recommend it enough for beach lovers! Located just 20 feet from the sandy shores, this hotel is perfect for anyone looking to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel at home. The check-in process was quick, and I was immediately captivated by the stunning view from my room. With a private balcony overlooking the beach, I could enjoy the sound of the waves and the salty breeze without even leaving my space. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, featuring modern amenities and cozy decor. One of the highlights of my trip was the easy access to the beach. It was just a short stroll down a charming path, allowing me to spend my days sunbathing, swimming, and exploring. Breakfast by the ocean was a standout, featuring fresh pastries and local fruits. Overall, this is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a beach getaway. The convenient location, friendly service, and quality accommodations make it an ideal choice for a relaxing vacation.

A Disappointing Stay in the Family Room Our recent stay at this hotel was, unfortunately, far from pleasant. We booked the family room, expecting comfort and cleanliness, but what we encountered was nothing short of disappointing. From the moment we stepped into the room, it was clear that the space was extremely outdated and poorly maintained. The beds were an absolute letdown. The mattresses were uncomfortable, and the bedding looked worn out and neglected. It felt like we were sleeping on furniture that hadn’t been updated in decades. The air conditioning units were ancient and clearly hadn’t been serviced in years. They made strange noises and barely functioned, leaving the room either too hot or too cold. Just looking at them made me feel uneasy. The couch in the room was another low point. It was so old and unkempt that we couldn’t bring ourselves to sit on it. The fabric was faded, and the cushions were lumpy and worn. It was clear that it hadn’t been cared for in a long time. The mini fridge was completely non-functional and had visible signs of wear and neglect, with mold growing around the rubber seal. It was unusable and added to the overall sense of discomfort. The bathroom was perhaps the worst part of the experience. It was extremely outdated and showed no signs of proper upkeep. After showering, we didn’t feel refreshed at all—the fixtures were old, the tiles were cracked, and the overall state of the room was far from inviting. It was clear that no effort had been made to modernize or maintain the space. We were so put off by the conditions of the room that we even started looking for flights to another country just to get away from the hotel. The thought of spending another night in that environment was unbearable, and we were desperate to leave as soon as possible. The only positive aspect of our stay was the reception staff. They were friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind people. Their professionalism and warmth were a stark contrast to the condition of the room, and we truly appreciated their efforts to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Overall, this hotel fell far short of our expectations. The family room was in a shocking state of disrepair and neglect, and we would not recommend it to anyone. While the staff were wonderful, they couldn’t make up for the appalling conditions of the room. We hope the management takes immediate action to address these issues, as the current state of the accommodations is simply unacceptable.

The hotel was very nice, breakfast was decent. The beach is very nice, but the hotel didn’t seem to have beach chairs.

Bathrooms in the family room were disgusting. Showers had grime along the tiles, definitely not cleaned before we got in. Lots of dust in the windows and the floor wasn't clean either. No fresh towels provided the next day and I had to follow up to get toilet paper multiple times from staff.

The staff of the hotel is extremely polite, hospitable and friendly. We got upgraded to the Superior Suite with an ocean view as there were no more regular rooms left, and it was very pleasing. The view was amazing, breakfast was delicious and the hotel does also offer SPA services for reasonable prices, which I highly recommend to explore. Beach is 1 minute walk from the hotel, basically next to it and you can swim there. Downtown is a little bit far to go by walk, however if you take a tricycle, it will take about 5 minutes. A big concern that we had was ants. A lot of ants rushing near the trash bin. Also, a shower head was quite dirty. Shampoo was provided in a little plastic package of 5 ml maybe, which is barely enough for long hair ladies. Shower gel was not provided at all, only a tiny peace of soap, so I highly recommend to buy or bring your own hygiene products.

Amazing beach view in front and very friendly staff. They The area surrounding is less touristy then other locations in Palawan, although a bit out of the way. Highly recommend this hotel . Great place to relax

Very nice and friendly staff in a very so so hotel. The location is good but the rooms are very poor.

Booked my client here for a two night stay. No complain from them

I booked Deluxe room and it did not disappoint me, the view was impeccable. We had a balcony in the room plus a really really good view, you can just chill out at the balcony overlooking the beach. The room has sofa inside and super spacious. The breakfast is plated tho. Too bad, there's no pool as stated om the website. But hey, they offer free kayak, so you can do some activity at the beach. There's a lowtide during morning. Location wise, if you do not want in a crowded place it is recvommendable. If you're a person who loves to party at night, it's just 5mins ride to the town where bars are situated. Overall, we had a nice stay! 👍😊

The hotel is very tired. There were ants in our room. The only thing that saved us was that we took some ant repellent from home. The shower in the room was leaking and dripping at night. Very humid! Breakfast is included, but the cleanliness conditions in which it was prepared are questionable. Dirty dogs run around the hotel and sleep at night on the chairs where the guests eat in the morning. On the positive side: a great view of the ocean and location next to a pharmacy (shop).

Not a bad hotel on the first line. Has its own territory and beach (didn't swim). Breakfasts are normal. There are shops within walking distance. Tricycle to El Nido is 100 pesos.

The hotel is generally good, the location is not bad. The room was on the second floor with a balcony. The bed is good with a comfortable mattress. The breakfast is not bad, two options on the menu. It says there is a kettle in the room, but there was no kettle. There is a cooler with hot and cold water near the dining room, you can fill it with water. The bathroom is small, there was hot water. But the water pressure is not very good. There are shampoo bags, soap, toothbrushes. In general, this hotel can be recommended.

Fine

The hotel is located right on the beach in the letter P, along the highway, which is also the central road of the city. On the sides there are rooms, at the end of the “legs” there are rooms with an exit and views of the sea, we were visited in one of these rooms (No. 10). Immediately upon check-in, we saw a sign with tour options, in the city they offer four types, we chose tours A and B from the hotel, you can get to Puerto Princesa (700 pesos per person). There is no water in the room, but in the restaurant there is a cooler where everyone runs to fill up bottles, at the reception they sell water for 100 pesos for 1.5 liters, near the market water is sold for 70 for 2 liters (at 7-11 in Manila the same amount costs 46 pesos). The room has soap, shampoo in bags, toothbrushes, toothpaste, they are provided once upon arrival, but it will last for three days, and I already carry my own shampoo and conditioner. The plumbing was a bit old, the sink was broken in one place, but overall it didn’t bother us. Instead of a blanket there was a sheet, and at night I froze a little, then I started sleeping in a T-shirt. I should note that on the last day I discovered bites on myself - I still don’t know whether there were bugs in the pillow (but then I would have been bitten all three days), or whether I was bitten by plankton in the shallow water where I was sitting in water until night. Breakfast from 7 to 10, rice, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, two types of meat, cucumber water, pancakes, bananas, coffee, tea. Not very varied, but the hot food was different every day, we ate our fill, everything was filling. The first morning we left on time and all the food was already standing, the second time we left on time again, but waited another 15 minutes for food, while the staff was giggling in the main building. The beach is shallow, 4 sun loungers and two hammocks. There are people on the beach either in the morning or in the late afternoon, there is no rush. The water was shallow and reached the buoys and up to the knee. At night the tide is low and if you look out of the room, and we are looking at the water five meters away, there is no water. Overall we liked the hotel and would be happy to come again. On the right and left there are hotels costing 20 thousand per night and I don’t understand why they overpay so much.
