Hue Hotels and Resorts Puerto Princesa Managed by HII

8/10 Good
"We had a very nice stay at Hue. Pros: The rooms are of a decent size with comfortable beds, buffet breakfast is ok (drink and coffee options could be improved), friendly and lovely staff, free top ups of water for your room any time. Cons: alcoholic beverages (cocktails) are very very weak, I guess indicative of the price, only one wine option in the restaurant, if you are on ground floor, it is noisy, staff being loud at 6 am in the morning in the corridor, the spa only accepts cash but I was only told after the treatment.
