    first stop on our palawan tour and I would say the best - incredible views into bay, cozy and very clean bamboo villas, tasty simple breakfast and very helpful owners. If you want to stay out of loud place but still close enough in case you want have more fun, choose this place as it is like from a fairy tale. Will recommend everywhere!! Best way to reach the accommodation is by boat taxi from port barton

    The towels. And would have loved a bucket in the shower. Makes washing hair easier.

    It was a lovely place far from the busy and hectic city. Right up against the jungle with a panaramic view of the bay and islands. Super peaceful and the hosts are really nice. We also really appreciated the breakfast with fresh homemade bread, just perfect - hope to come back.

    We stayed for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed for longer. It is an amazing oasis in the middle of the jungle with beautiful views and very comfy beds. Breakfast is delicious, it's close to two restaurants (although we ended up eating at Jungle Bar every time as it was so good) and a 10 minute walk from the beach. The owners are so friendly and helpful and organised an island hopping trip for us. We already want to go back.

    Our stay at The View Lodges was simply magical! Nestled in the heart of the jungle, the peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking surroundings made for an unforgettable experience. At night, the sky comes alive with countless stars—truly a sight to behold. The owners are fantastic—friendly, always ready to help, and with a great sense of humor that makes you feel right at home. Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. The lodge itself is new, spotless, and beautifully designed, offering both comfort and a connection to nature. Breakfast - absolutely delicious—the eggs, toast, mushrooms were the perfect start to the day! Nico, thanks for your perfect Banana bread as well! 👌 A short walk away, we discovered one of the best beaches we visited in the Philippines—pristine, quiet, and perfect for relaxation. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in Port Barton with stunning nature, and warm hospitality, The View Lodges is the place to be! Highly recommended.

    Jimmy and Nico are absolutely great, helpful hosts. The location was really beautiful, the cottages were clean and nice, the breakfasts were delicious and We just couldn't ask for more. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this is the place. My only regret is that We did not shorten out stay in the (in my opinion) overrated El Nido to stay in Port Barton

    The jungle road is a challenge. And believe me; it is that bad! But you can avoid most parts of it by going from Port Barton to White Beach via a very affordable taxi boat.

    If you are looking for a simple cabin, where you can enjoy some peace and quiete, then this is the place. Even though it is located in the middle of the jungle there are two descent options for lunch and dinner close by, and White Beach is only 10-15 minutes walk from the property. Internet connection is also good. Moreover, Nico and Jimmy are wonderful hosts, who are open to share tips and tricks about Port Barton and travel stories. NB: if you are not ready for a bumpy ride in a tricycle through the jungle in order to get to the accommodation don’t go here. But if you are up for an adventure and eventually ready to push the tuktuk through mud (if is has been rainy) this accommodation is highly recommendable for a 2-5 nights stay in Port Barton! We loved it!

    No AC, but that also gave us the authentic djungle experience.

    Great couple, great view, great atmosphere/food/vibe/ and great amount of sweat so of course you miss the AC but these guys have a problem solving attitude and will make you feel comfortable with every obstacle that may occur. The djungle ambience is unique. Thanks for everything guys!

    We had a great stay! Jimmy and Nico are great people and great hosts. Amazing view from the newly built and beautiful bungalow. Location wise - 10-15 min walk from a beautiful beach and 1 min walk from two good restaurants (Green hill and Jungle bar). A short boat ride (taxi boat) or isch 30 min tuc tuc ride (bumby road but so worth it) from Port Barton.

    We had an unforgettable stay at this newly opened jungle bungalow retreat. The location is truly magical—right in the heart of the jungle, with amazing views from the balcony and just a 15-minute walk to the Port Barton’s best White beach. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature and waking up to the jungle scenery was such a treat. The bungalows are cozy and stylish, with a laid-back boho vibe that fits perfectly with the surroundings. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, and if you don’t feel like venturing out, the two nearby restaurants offer some great options. The owners are truly the heart of this place. They’re incredibly friendly, attentive, and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. They even bake amazing cakes! Despite the rainy weather during our stay, they did everything to ensure we had the best experience possible. If you’re up for exploring, Port Barton is just a 20-30 minute tuk-tuk ride away (depending on the weather), but honestly, we were so content here that we didn’t feel the need to leave much. This place is perfect for anyone looking to relax, enjoy nature, and soak up the warmth of great hospitality. Highly recommended!

    bumpy road to the property - but it‘s an adventure that needs to be experienced 😊

    The hosts Jimmy and Nico were adorable. Very helpful, friendly and kind. We loved leaving our doors open because the view from the bed was really nice. The place was very cozy, calm and chill. Lovely place, we will definitely come back next time.

    There is no hot water, but that wasn't a big issue when it's 30 degrees outside ;), still some cotton towels would be a nice option (I suppose it's because of the humidity, which was terrible at the time, but we all hated the sound and feeling when using microfibre). Also the prices of breakfast options would be nice to know before making a decision.

    Great experience with staying in a really peaceful area, surrounded by trees and flowers (but with a small bar just next door to relax in the evening ot have a lunch/dinner). Place is small and the owners are very friendly.
