Great place like it's hidden from the road and nice size pool with few guestrooms so you can actually go for a swim. Room was fabulous and clean. Only gripe is that it takes a while to fill the bath tub Air con was good. Nice relax seats by the pool. Breakfast was ok but it changes every day Staff was helpful Definitely would came back

Overall it was a nice place and we had a great stay! It was a little farther from most of the mains areas than I thought it would be as the tuk tuk rides were long. And the bathroom smelled a bit like mold and I could visibly see mold in the bathroom so there’s that. And we got the private pool room but couldn’t really swim in it because it got dirty quick. But the staff was great and we had a lovely stay!

Hotel great ! Food great ! Pool amazing!

Personal pool, a large general pool, great cooking (rare) and the personnel was fantastic. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms huge. The only downside were the roaches (3/4) walking around on the buffet during breakfast. The breakfast is well protected, but it is still a little unsettling.

Room was clean and cool. Very nice bed. We could walk right out of the room and within a few steps be in the pool. The pool bar was excellent with a great bartender.

Excellent place to stay if you have plans for the Underground river. Make sure you have shuttle service and they will pick you up from this hotel. The staff is great and the rooms are very clean. They have a great breakfast and dining options. I was not disappointed. I highly recommend this place.

Carpe Diem Resort has a lot of potential. The pool area is beautiful, and the staff were friendly throughout our stay. The room was clean and nicely designed, with a magnificent bathroom. The beds were a bit stiff, and the walls were thin, so we could hear noise from the next room. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. The food felt subpar and overly fancy when a simple Filipino breakfast would have been much better. The quality did not match the extra cost. Several interns were managing breakfast but seemed untrained, spending most of their time chatting instead of helping guests. Overall, it is a lovely place with promise, but the food and staff training need improvement to match the beauty of the resort.

Great hotel

Great hotel but a little overpriced for Philippines. Make sure they clean your room since once in a while they forget and give you an excuse that you wasn't in your room or didn't ask for it and didn't leave them the keys.

The rooms, the property, restaurant were so pristinely clean. All the towels smelled so nice. The room smelled nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only down side is the property is not near anything walkable but it’s a cheap trip by tricycle to wherever you want to go. I would stay here again.

I think that the highlight of this hotel is the staff everybody is so incredibly pleasant and attentive the facility is nice but it needs upgrading this is the kind of hotel that has a huge potential for becoming a high end boutique facility with a cocktail hour and more tour activities the rooms need upgrading badly but overall it was a very pleasant experience
