I first came to Daluyon Resort back in 2016 to take part in my friend's wedding. My friends and I got to spend the first part of the newlyweds' honeymoon together in Palawan. I was single back then, and seeing my friend happy with his new bride made me want to seriously date again. The Daluyon Resort was amazing back then. Seven years later in 2023, I become a married man myself and recommend to my wife that we spend part of our honeymoon in Palawan, just as my friend did with his wife. Our general honeymoon itinerary: three weeks in Japan, then six days in the Philippines. Booking - In the beginning when I attempted to book a reservation, getting through to them was a bit rough. I tried reaching out to them on their website through chat with very little response. When I emailed them, I didn't receive a response until after they finally responded to me on Facebook Messenger. With that small hurdle out of the way, I was fortunate enough to speak with Cherry. She was very timely and efficient at helping me book five nights in their most fanciest cottage. Getting to the Resort - Cherry had made arrangements to have my wife and I picked up from the airport in Puerto Princessa. It is a 1 hour 40 minute drive from the airport to the resort down a winding paved road, mostly through the jungle. Along the way you'll see the locals going about their lives, a wide variety of animals trotting about the road, and some truly wonderful sights of Palawan's beautiful landscapes (if you have daylight). Upon arriving at the resort, I was warmly greeted by none other than Cherry herself and Ivan. We were then promptly and unexpectedly given a refreshing welcome drink to commemorate the beginning of our stay at Daluyon. The Resort Grounds - This resort has an island paradise-like theme to it. All of the cottages have grass roofs and the grounds are littered with palm trees and seemingly endless greenery. You would swear you were in Hawaii instead. They have an enormous community swimming pool with a sunken bar and grill where you can partake in drinks and meals alike right at poolside. They even have a fitness room with some pretty decent equipment; an olympic barbell flat bench with plates, am ez curl bar, a treadmill, a full dumbell rack, and a full body multigym machine (has three machines in one). There is also a relaxation hut where massages are offered. They will even do in room massages as well. Their restaurant just past their lobby is beautifully decorated with turtle shell lanterns and other island decor. Speaking of which... The Resort Food - I was vastly impressed with the variety of food that was offered in their restaurant, and even more impressed by the quality of each dish I had eaten. They truly have an amazing staff working their kitchen. They offer foods from various parts of the world, not just Filipino cuisine. Although in my opinion, the Filipino dishes steal the show. Between my wife and myself, we tried most of the items on their menu,
