    Very nice accommodation. Owners were great and couldn't have been more helpful. They went out of their way to help us arrange transport to El Nido when there was a problem with the buses (in the end we got there!). Location was great and room was comfy. Highly recommend :)

    We had to leave!

    What a beautiful place! Best accommodation we had while travelling in the Philippines. 30 sec walk to the beach, restaurants and bars. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful pool. Lovely big rooms with hot and cold water showers, black out curtains which we loved at 6am. Nice bar area, Super friendly and helpful staff. Owners were really friendly and accommodating. Helped with everything we asked for. I really hope to return. 100% recommended.

    I stayed here for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The cottages are literally no more than 2 minutes' walk from the beach, or if you prefer a swimming pool, that was available also, and was cleaned at least once a day whilst I was there. The owners were on sight for the duration of my stay, and were always happy to answer any questions and give travel tips if needed. The staff also were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a lovely experience and hope to return next year.

    Located next to the beach in a quiet corner, yet still close to the center (5min walk), it couldn’t have been any better for us. We had a wonderful time. Sit back, have a coffee, and enjoy the chilled Port Barton vibe. Extra points for the friendly staff and the extremely nice owners who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Simple, clean and cosy place to stay with a nice pool - best in class.

    Air-con was outdated and noisy, but after all it did it´s job and there´s also a good and silent fan.

    This was one of the best part of our trip in Philippines. Very nice owner, lovely staff, refreshing pool and the location just fantastic. Port Barton is the best place on Palawan.

    Internet works on the porch and not in the room. Maybe the chairs on the porch could a bit more comfortable. The roads in Port Barton aren't very good, and there are many stray dogs.

    We were very impressed by Port Barton. It was even nicer than expected. Sunsets and the beach were amazing. The people are very nice and the whole place had this relaxed and homie vibe. We loved the location, pool... the staff and owners were all very nice and helpful, made us feel like at home. We even extended our stay. The room and thr bathroom was more comfortable that elsewhere in Philippines. Also there was a lot of well organised furniture for very comfortable stay. Thank you for organising the last day transportation and tour for us - we managed to visit underwater river in Sabang and go to Puerto Princesa in one day.

    Nothing!

    It is a small paradise just a few meters from the beach. The owners are very concerned about the well-being of the guests and a little chat with delicious drinks for the cozy evening hours. Adventurous excursions are provided during the day. The breakfast and the coffee is also delicious. Especially with the children, since we don't have a TV and therefore the board games from the resort were used a lot. We enjoyed it very much at Rubin Resort. Thank you so much for everything. Hope to see you again very soon.

    Absolutely incredible stay! Cottage was perfect - clean with hot shower. Staff and owners kind, helpful and smiling all the time. Close to everything you need - beach just 2 min walk, restaurant, bars and shops few min walk as well. Kids were really happy not just because of the pool but also because the owners bring them everytime small surprising! Without any hesitations it was the best place we stayed in Philippines! If you want make your stay comfy and feel like your at home, you should choose Rubin!
