If you’re used to back-packer type accommodations and don’t mind a little grit, this may be an affordable option right o
Pros:

The location is fantastic. Modern air conditioning that kept the room very comfortable. Breakfast is included and right on the beach. There is hot water in the shower when you want it. The beds were fairly comfortable with clean linen and we enjoyed having two pillows each.

Cons:

The room was smaller than what we expected based on the photos and description when booked. The description described the room with two double beds and three single beds (two being bunk beds). This was the only room available at booking. What we got was what seemed like a smaller room with two single beds. Not that we needed more beds, but the description at booking was misleading. I’m not sure we got the room we paid for, but since we didn’t need more beds, we let it go.

The bedroom was worn and in need of renovation and the bathroom was equally bad and just a disaster. The window curtain was moldy and had some kind of excrement on it, maybe gecko, but it was more than just a tiny bit. I ended up washing it off in the shower, but the mold was still there. The bathroom floods when showering, despite the shower drain. There are water stains indicating this is ongoing. At one point it stopped draining completely, but to be fair, when we told the front desk, they took care of it immediately. The did not; however, bother to clean up the hair and grit that had backed up and was all over the bathroom floor. We cleaned it ourselves with tissue and napkins we had.

Overall, the room is a bit sad and depressing. We made it a point to spend as little time in it as possible. But I guess that’s kind of the point of staying right on the beach.

Doskonala lokalizacja!
Pros:

Jedno z lepszych miejsc, w jakich sie zatrzymaliśmy. Byc może to wpływ calego miasta Port Barton, ale doceiam fakt, iż hotelik jest nie tylko przy samej plaży, ale będąc de facto w centrum wszystkiego (chyba nie ma lepiej położonego hotelu), oferuje spokój w nocy. W cenie są śniadania (male, ale ok), na miejscu jest restauracja z super tarasem przy plaży (z drugiej strony dwa kroki mamy do każdej innej restauracji plażowej). Pomagaǰa w transferze, island hopping. Bardzo mila obsluga. Polecam

Cons:

Oferowany "pokoj z widokiem na morze" to lekko naciągana sprawa. Faktycznie budnek z pokojami (2 piętra) jest przt plaży, ale stoi prostopadle do morza, więc z okna realnie widać parking. Ale jak się juz wyjdzie z pokoju - morze jest na wyciągnięcie ręki :)

Nice place to stay at Port Barton Beach
Pros:

great location in the centre of Port Barton, direct beach access, the beach restaurant is a nice place to hang out and enjoy the view out to the sea. The cottages are basic but clean, each of them has a spacious patio where you can sit outside even if it's raining. The staff is very friendly. In Booking's map the place was wrongly located at the northern end of Port Barton beach, not sure if Booking meanwhile corrected that mistake. The position in Google Maps is correct, it's very central at Port Barton Beach.

Super Location, die wir bei unserer nächsten Reise auf die Philippinen gerne wieder besuchen.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr für einen Aufenthalt in Port Barton zu empfehlen. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist traumhaft und man wird vom Meeresrauschen geweckt. Es gibt sehr viele schöne Restaurants und Bars den Strand entlang. Elsa ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben mit ihrem Ehemann eine Island-Hopping-Tour gemacht, die ebenfalls absolut empfehlenswert ist.

Cons:

Nebenan ist eine Reggae-Bar, in der bis nachts Musik gespielt wird. Die Musik ist super und uns hat es nicht weiter gestört. Für Menschen mit einem leichten Schlaf könnte das jedoch problematisch sein.
Leider hatten wir kein warmes Wasser und das Wasser war zeitweise etwas braun, was wahrscheinlich durch den starken Regen verursacht wurde. Auch das war für uns jedoch in Ordnung und hat unseren Aufenthalt nicht negativ beeinflusst.
