Paradise is a fair description of the setting of this resort. We spent 6 nights here recently and can truly say that if you want to get away from it all then this is a pretty good place to be. Cottages 1, 2 and 3 are around on beach 2 out of the way pretty much giving you your own... More

We arrived on May 06, 2012. Took the plane from Manila to Puerto Princesa then a private vehicle to Port Barton. Next the boat to Secret Paradise. Stayed until May 09, 2012. They have 6 huts with different set ups. From the time we arrived until the time we left we were treated very well with friendly staff and great... More

Hmmm. I have mixed feeling about this place. The Trip.. Arrived at Puerto Princesa around 2pm we got a van from the airport straight to Port Barton, travel time aprox 3hrs. 2hr paved road and an hour of mud. We stayed a night at port barton then took a 45 min pumpboat (canoe on steroids) ride. This was summer and... More

This is a truly wonderful place to put your feet up. We stayed for four nights, and didn't want to leave! Pros -Beautiful scenery. Very far from ANYTHING! It is an hour boat ride-be aware of this. You can island hop though... -Island hopping. It is close to other resorts and small islands that have great beaches. -Guests. We stayed... More

First of all - the cove is wonderful and the resort is nestled on a wonderful white beach. You should be aware that you have to reach this resort by from Port Barton by boat (Banca) which takes 1 hr. Anyway,the nature is impressive, so the time is passing by very fast. We stayed in one of the cottages close... More

We stayed in this place in December 2011 and loved every minute of it! We stayed in the second largest cottage, the love bird, and it was wonderful! It was nice and clean, romantic and secluded. I love this place because it is so private and peaceful. The restaruant has good food and I especially love the butter garlic crab.... More

It was a long trip from Hong Kong. We arrived late at night and the final boat ride was surreal and unforgettable: in an open boat during 45minutes under a dark and full of stars sky! We woke up with the sound of birds and water splashing on the sand in front of the cottage -wow we were in Paradise!... More

We had been there for 4 days, and wish we would been able to stay more... The resort is located far from all civilisation and concrete building, Beaches are somptuous, calm, clean. The water is beautiful and cristaline. If you look for calm, white sand beaches, palm tree, this is definitively the place to go. The fact that the resort... More

This place is very secluded and exquisite. They only offer three cottages, and even the smallest one of them, the song bird cottage, is spacious considering Philippine standards. We had an amazing stay here for 10 whole days. At times we were the only guests and could enjoy the three beaches and peacefulness in the beach hammocks just for ourselves.... More
