    Situated outside of Port Barton on a private palm beach, this is a great, authentic stay. The amenities are all run by solar power. The cottages are lovely and the outdoor bathroom is a real charm. Everything is provided, breakfast on the beautiful beach with the feet in the sand. The restaurant offers great homecooked food, as well as a barbecue on the beach. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Can highly recommend this beautiful stay.

    One thing we didn't love was that food wasn't served til quite late, nobody would take our order til after 8pm and then it would take a while to come out. Not really vegetarian options either.

    We loooved this place. It was a highlight of our trip. After staying in hostels for a while, this beach hut with a balcony facing the most gorgeous private beach and ocean was amazing. The staff were friendly too and offered us an island hopping tour which was in just a small group and also a real highlight. The hut was rustic but really nice, we all had a double bed each with mosquito net, and the outdoor shower was really cool.

    The accommodation is lovely however they rely on fans in the rooms and because it’s solar powered they don’t last all night and it does get very warm! But that’s the experience and was doable but maybe not for some!

    This place is lovely, if you’re wanting an island get-away then this is the place to go. John and his staff were wonderful, very attentive and easy to chat to. We did a private boat trip with price johns and it was great! They provided the best lunch we’ve ever had! Definitely recommend!

    The beach in front of John's is a bit rocky but walking around the corner is a beautiful pristine white beach. One of the bathroom and toilet needed repair.

    Great outdoor facilities. Quiet and authentic beach holidays. John's place is near waterfalls and fantastic white beach at walking distance.

    To much noise from the roosters right by the bungalowe. And it was terrible to see the monkies tied up with a chain.

    Really good food. Calm and few other guests. Good place for relaxing.

    Everything in Prince John is superb! The view from our room is what we dream of, the staff are very accommodating and John made our stay very comfortable. John personally made sure our vacation was comfortable, he arranged our van transfer from El Nido to this beautiful paradise and took us back to Puerto Princesa with his own car. We also enjoyed island hopping, kayaking and the amazing sunsets. Thank you for making our vacation a very memorable one and we will definitely come back soon! 😊

    Although it wasn't a problem for me, the trip from Porta Princessa airport takes a long time. This only became a problem when we needed to get to the airport for a 10am flight at the end of the holiday.

    It was a very relaxed location, lovely beach and the fresh food cooked to order on the bbq was great. The beach front accommodation in the comfortable beds ensured a good sleep

    It was our last stay in the Philippines and the best stay. I just love the idea of reaching this place by boat from Port Borton. The owner, Prince John, is a really good performer. He welcomes every guest and all guests can feel special. Location is amazing, the view is beautiful. This place provides all day food and drinks, prices are reasonable. Also you can choose an all day tour which I really recommend, the tour was relaxing not rushing. Bungalows are simple but you will have everything that you need, open air bathrooms are very stylish. Wi-fi in the restaurant area works perfectly. Especially I want to mention the boat captain (sorry forgot the name) and Romeo, those two guys were very helpful and polite. Best regards to them.

    The beach itself is nice enough but getting in the water over the rocks was pretty tricky, a little boardwalk/jetty would be a great edition.

    Our accommodation, Bali Bungalow, was fab. Waking up to the sand and the sea everyday was a treat and the balcony hammock was a fav spot for a read. John and the team all great and the food was very good. We loved the dogs and the wildlife. Waterfalls are lovely to visit and swim in. Beach massages thoroughly enjoyed!

    Location quite remote but worth it. Stairs to upper floor can be slippery and are quite steep. Ask for life vest when using kayak.

    Beautifully designed bungalow huts with open air shower. Lush vegetation around the resort, isolated from mass tourism. Great atmosphere for dinner at the beach incl. bbq. Manager pays attention to detail and makes sure everything runs smoothly.

    There is a boat repair man nearby that plays very loud music-not Prince Johns fault but still a shame

    Rustic, back to nature property. Lovely beachside location and a nice island hopping tour with a great lunch. Unfortunately weather was windy so no snorkelling but very enjoyable. Nice choice of meals and drinks-all good 😃take sea shoes as rocky when getting off the boat.

    Electricity generator can be quite loud if you have a standard bungalow located near to it. However it runs only around 6 to 9pm or so. Beach is beautiful but in sea it's old coral reef - not particularly good for play or swim in the sea. Just some things to be aware.

    Location is excellent. Breakfast is delicious, especially home (fire?) baked baguettes. Snorkeling trip was nice and I bet it would be even better if the sea was not so rough that time. Going to nearby waterfalls is a nice walk, through secluded beaches.
