Aziza Paradise

Puerto Princesa


Best described as an urban – and urbane – resort, Aziza wows right away with a soaring open-air reception area that reflects the hotel's leaf theme. It's flanked by two restaurants and a nice-looking pool that inexplicably lacked pool furniture on our visit. All rooms are well appointed; shoot for one with a balcony overlooking the pool and lush gardens.

The fancier villas have plunge pools. There's also a nightclub on the premises. It's north of the airport, a 10-minute tricycle ride from the centre.
