Un petit habre de paix au milieu des cocotiers. Le personnel est juste adorable et aux petits soins. Ils font tout pour que l’on se sente bien. L’hôtel nous a booké un tour en bateau avec des excursions. Je vous recommande. Les hamacs sur la plage pour flâner, lire ou faire la sieste. Le calme de l’endroit car excentré de port barton centre. La plage est très jolie (pensez aux chaussures de mer car beaucoup de pierres et coraux dans l eau). Nous avions un bungalow face à la mer quel bonheur.

Pas d’eau chaude (comme dans beaucoup d’hôtels aux Philippines) mais vu la chaleur ça passe. Ça aurait été bien de mettre quelques tables et chaises pour manger sur le sable le soir en plus du restaurant. Pour se rendre à l’hôtel il faut prendre un bateau payant.

Friendly staff

Well it was not living up to our exceptions we got from the pictures. The ocean is not as blue as the pictures promised and is full of stone, I couldn’t go there without shoes on. The place is not as beautiful as the pictures, so the restaurant and the room are nothing special. This place was not it for me and my partner.

Great stay at Mariejoy. Staff was super helpful and would go above and beyond for the guests. Location is great too, right by the beach. Super quiet and tranquil. It's a bit far from Port Barton, which is actually great if you want a quiet place to relax in.

The rooms are basic and could do a bit of a renovation though, but they were comfortable. The structure does not really have a beach vibe and there is no comfortable common space to hang out in. The main building/reception area only has dining tables. No couch or lounge area.

The staff was exceptionally kind. They went the extra mile to make our stay the best. It was also one of our friend’s birthdays and the staff, in particularly Matt, Pat, and Evy, helped us with putting up decorations and just making everything look beautiful for her day! The room was also very clean and the bathroom was very big. We had a lot of comfort. The sunsets were beautiful!!! It felt like we had our little private island :) We would love to come back!

The quiet place and staff

The view is unbelievable and the staff is brilliant!

There’s only electricity from 6pm to 6am but it was no issue.

there are lots of reviews complaining about the location and sure if you want to see port Barton, you should stay there as it’s not super easy to get to. however! we loved our stay here for the serenity of small nao nao beach ,you can fully switch off and relax. the biggest highlight was how friendly the staff are! Matt has the most wonderful smile and laugh it made us smile and Kim was also wonderful in helping us decide where to go next on our trip. finally, I’ll be thinking about the banana pancakes when I’m back home! I had them every day!

this is an escape from the rest of the world and with that you have to accept to let go of some ‘comforts’ - electricity is limited, no wifi and lots of lizards, beetles, sand flies etc.

great staff, super helpful and good family vibes. always happy to help. amazing view on a white sand beach. good location to walk to bigaho falls and kayak to some islands. good size bungalows, comfortable :)

difficult to access, we had a car to be more free but the road is very bumpy ( SUV needed). however the car allowed us to visit secluded areas, avoiding the typical boat tours with all the tourists :) . if you don’t have a car remember that there is a 1000 pesos fee if you want to take the boat to visit around. Food is ok but nothing special, the restaurants of the other hotels are better. one advice would be to add maybe a bar at the beach with light lounge music to have a drink or so because nothing is happening at night and it gets a bit lonely and boring… we often ended up having a drink in other hotels that had music and a small beach bar to enjoy the sunset and meet people. Another thing to know: there is no electricity during the day and the hotel does not have internet. very tricky for my boyfriend because he had some work to do.. the gsm network was very poor so he had to go the a nearby hotel at the end of the beach that actually has Wireless and electricity during the day to be able to catch up with some work. thankfully the boss there was ok with him using wifi and charge computers/ phones even though we were not guests. although the use of solar panel is great, the lack of wireless and electricity can be tricky when the weather is not good to be honest.. would be good to store more energy with more panels/batteries in order to provide some electricity during the day as well maybe.
