- water and food at the resort was a little expensive, we ate there everyday as it’s a little secluded.

- felt like paradise in the middle of nowhere - simple living - exactly what we were after - John was so lovely and made sure we were happy everyday

Food and beverage prices are high and no other options than to consume there because far from everything

Would recommend downloading an offline map to the cottages through the maps.me app before traveling! Road access to the cottages was a bit difficult and google maps does not show a correct route. John tried his best to contact us along the way to help out, but due to spotty internet it was tough to receive directions while we were on route on our motorbikes.

Great food! Amazing location, beautiful open-air cottage structures. The planting and landscaping of the beach and cottage area was outstanding. Loved the common restaurant building and beachside dining experiences.

Our best experience on the entire island of Palawan. Without a doubt, arriving at Prince John Cottage is like arriving in paradise on earth. John is undoubtedly the best host we have met in the Philippines: the attention, the activities he offers, the services he provides are priceless. Thanks to him we have been able to enjoy the experience to the fullest without worrying about anything. He took care of us from our arrival to our departure, taking care of all the details. The site is located away from the city centre, being a more private and exclusive place. Near this wonderful place you find an ecosystem from islands to waterfalls. Thank you very much John for letting us enjoy your kingdom, we are eternally grateful.

Although I felt safe the entire time, as the property was wide open, a Safety deposit box would have eased my mind.

My favourite stay in the whole of the Philippines Truly a paradise location! Our open fronted ‘treehouse’ room faced the beach and we woke to the most ideal if views every morning. Loved the feeling of living in nature and the ‘glamping’ feel of the accommodation. John was a fabulous host, who could not have done more to make his guests feel welcome. The Prince John boat trip was intimate and wonderful with the most delicious lunch. The evening BBQ was absolutely delicious. I also loved the isolation of the location. I’d go back in a heartbeat

John was very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here a lot, although we only stayed for one night. Note: you have to take a boat to get on the (feels like) private island. The food was very good, so no need for any other shops. Would recommend if you want to get away of everything for a few days!

No hot water in the room

The location is fantastic! John very nice guy! He picked up us from the town and brought back!

The food in the restaurant is good but not outstanding and theres not many different dishes to choose from. No other options to eat closely (could transfer to Port Barton by boat but there’s an extra charge) except another hotel next door which has very similar menu / prices / quality as we were told by other guests so we didn’t bother trying it out.

It‘s a lovely secluded beach, they pick you up from Port Barton by boat for free. The cottages are basic (with fan but no AC but with the ocean breeze it was fine) but very comfortable and clean. John is a great host fulfilling your every wish. :-)

You will love staying at prince John, away from everything but John will provide everything you need :) the rooms are really clean and confortable and we loved the open bathroom ! Great food right on the beach, great ambiance,i highly recommand it !

I suggested John put in safes. although my daughter and I felt entirely safe the whole time (even as the property did not have a front) I think it would put peoples mind at ease

The location was absolutely amazing- a secluded beach accessible only by boat and only shared with 2 other small resorts. Our ‘treehouse’ was directly facing the beach giving a outstandingly beautiful view every morning. John was an amazing host and nothing was too much trouble. The bbq on the beach every night was second to none

The drink prices are a double than in the rest of Philippines, but its worth it, as its very far away from any store.

The stay at Prince John was amazing, it was a real tropical bungalow, everything is made out of bamboo and wood, the staff are very kind. The beaches are lovely, the breakfasts, lunches and dinners are very good, they bake their own bread every morning, everything is fresh. You dine at the beach, there is a hanging bed, everything is so relaxing. the bathroom and the shower are amazingly well done. Really, I would and will come back to Prince John.

No wifi so you must have a good SIM card. Lovely to eat dinner at the beach but there are these annoying little bugs, they don’t do anything but they will crawl on you.

Incredibly authentic and a lovely taste of the Philippines. Amazing food and a great ambiance to the place. John was an amazing host, went above and beyond and was available for any questions through out our stay. I will let people know you are in the elements for the washroom as well as your bedroom so be prepared to have a mosquito net around your bed as well as no fan or AC… but it all makes for such a cool experience. Over all an excellent stay for me and my partner

Breakfast was amazing and the view is unreal. coffe on the beach in the morning was great . Was a great experience to get a real feel for the philipino experience. The staff are amazing. The boat tours from the resort are worth doing more than once . The bambo cottages are one of a kind (amazing)

The property is secluded - it is a place where you can enjoy and go back to basic, relax and chill. Enjoy the beach front anytime you like. That was our experience of the place. We loved and enjoyed our time there. John the owner is very nice and he make sure all the requests are met. He took care of our transport going to Puerto Princesa. He gives special attention to special request of his clients. Prince Jonh made us feel special. We will be back and bring more friends.

Drinking water not provided. Have to purchase bottled water. Depend on hotel for transport. Can only go to town when they are taking the boat.

GORGEOUS SUNSETS!!! Quiet and remote. Located on the beach.

Beach very rocky, hard to go to the water. 15 minutes walking are good beaches.

Few people, very nice staff. Close to nature. Food was ok, very big portions for us. You can go to Biggaho waterfall, very good beaches on that way. Islad hopping wort it.

What a lovely place! We absolutely love the John Prince resort. The owner John is fantastic person, who can arrange everything to make you happy. After spending 5 nights there we can’t recomend this place enough. The place is hidden gem, nice accommodition right on the beach, cleaning every day. Delicious food in good prices, served with fantastic seaview. John and his staff make your stay perfect. If you want to relax from hustle bustle, this is the place:)

Besides John, the staff is not that friendly. Hospitality can be improved at the restaurant and cottages as well. Do not rent a motorbike to go as the road is not in a good shape. Always wait for John's boat to pick you up from Port Barton

Awesome place if you want to relax, it's a paradise! It's a bit far from the town but it totally worth it! John helped us with everything! You can also use kayaks to go the island that is in front of the cottage. Breakfast is really good.

Welcoming, responsive host and staff. Beautiful place and bungaloos. Boat service comes in very handy. Food ia deicious, often with fresh fish and seafood. Definitely recommend going on the island/snorkeling tour (ask for fins).
