After riding the boat from the Poblacion of San Vicente, Palawan we arrived in Port Barton and was looking for a place to stay for 2 nights. We had a budget of less than 400 Pesos per night but the lodgings there only offered us exactly 400 Pesos per night lodgings. But if we do not find a lodging with our budget then we’ll just have to camp out somewhere. Luckily, there’s a lodging that offered us 300 Pesos per night and that’s how we ended in El Dorado.
Anyways, below are the details of most accommodations in Port Barton.
Recommended Accommodations
I’m recommending this accommodation because of the sole purpose that they have a nice spot away from the center of town. Usually the beach in front of town is full of boats, so it’s a bit of a hassle to sit on the beach there.

El Dorado Sunset Garden Resort
I’m recommending El Dorado because I stayed there on their Backpacker’s Room which was only 300 Pesos/night because I went there during the low peak season. They also have a friendly staff and they have one of the best chicken curry I have ever tasted.

Villa Marguerita
It’s better if you check out their website at VillaMarguerita.com
There are still other lodgings in Port Barton such as Itaytay Inn, Princesa Michaella’s Beach Resort, Cabungan Beach Resort and others but either I did not find them or the staff was busy doing something else.
Other Notes on Port Barton
- Electricity is only from 6PM to 11PM but some lodgings has generators.
- There are karinderyas where you can eat for only 50 Pesos per meal one of them is called Gacayan.
- There are sari-sari stores around Port Barton where you can buy soap, shampoo, chips, drinks and some ingredients.
Disclaimer: These are the lodgings and their rates when I was there in Port Barton last March 2012. Details may change without prior notice. It is better to contact the lodgings for their updates rates and services.

Wow That was like really cheap. I love that 300 per night room of yours. Hehehe ang cute kaya? I really want to push through my Palawan trip that was cancelled last year. 🙂
Love your Palawan guides, Josiah. Very helpful. 🙂
Hi Josiah, thank you for all the helpful infos! We will go to Port Barton on June 18. Btw, have you tried the Blue Cove resort in Albaguen island? Can you give me any infos?
Many thanks!
Hi Lei! Glad to be of help. I have not tried any of the island and cove resorts in Port Barton. I saw that Blue Cove resort has a website. You might want to check that out for more information.
Thank you for all your wonderfully thorough writings, and photos, it is such a blessing to me, and many more….I am planning to go to Port Barton in mid Oct 2013, to spend 3 relaxing days/chilled out nights there with my girlfriend’s family (who are mostly from Binga, San Vicente) which will likely consist of 12 adults, and 4 children in total..The places that look best to accomadate us all are Besaga, El Dorado, or Summer Homes..I would like beachfront, and the availability to cook if possible…Is there any one resort that you would recomend?……Thanking you in advance.
