Coconut Garden Island Resort

“Sometimes things that did not work out for you, really worked out for you” That’s the perfect description of how I ended up in this beautiful piece of paradise in Port Barton Traveled solo, as I always do, wanted a slow and quiet days by the beach before I head back to the busy Puerto Princesa. Coconut Garden Island Resort is about 45 minutes banca ride from Port Barton. The resort is beautiful as it is, bungalows surrounded by gardens, occasionally monkeys might visit you, but they are not aggressive like the ones I encountered in the Underground River. Nice comfortable bed with mosquito net, western style bathrooms and good water pressure without hot water, electricity is limited, available during evening time in the restaurant/reception area, bring a power bank if you have, internet available via Starlink, the property has it’s own beach, nice place to snorkel and you can occasionally see small Stingrays or Sea Turtles and lots of fish , the beach is a quiet cove during the summer months, where the water is calm, you can rent a Kayak or just lay in the hammocks around. The staff are very helpful and friendly, food delicious, loved the Vegetable Curry and Nasi Goreng, some items may not be available because of how remote the place is, the owners go “shopping” in the mainland for supplies. Thank you for welcoming me in your little paradise, I personally thanked the owners, so happy with my experience. The resort is perfect for families and couples.

Great value on a beautiful island. The bungalows are really great for the price with a balcony, clean bathroom etc. The beach is beautiful with some nice snorkelling. Some of the staff on our first night were rude the second night they were lovely. Food was mediocre if available a lot of things on the menu were not available by ordering time. Beware of the sandflies !!!
