Don't worry about getting sand on the floor...: The 3 bedroom home is a simple timber home with a basic beach house feel. Don’t worry about getting a little sand on the floors inside. It’s easy to clean. Gilligans has 2 new bathrooms and a new kitchen. There is a large lounge and dining area with unique furniture. The facilities are clean and comfortable. You'll probably spend most of your time on the front veranda, our beachfront bar, or our popular Cabana looking out to the stunning views of the pristine beach and the blue waters of the marine park area, or you can enjoy a few beers or cold drinks as you relax. Its very quiet here! Very few neighbours, and they won't bother you, they work for us.

The rooms are quite airy and usually cool as we are beside the sea. The rooms have mosquito screens and mosquito nets are provided for each bed.

You are welcome to do your own cooking or enjoy the basic Filipino home style cooking of our caretakers wife Estrellia. She will gladly prepare basic meals for you.

We do it Island Style: Island hopping, swimming, skinny dipping (not mandatory), boating, fishing, tours to the nearby waterfalls, bush walks, Bar-B-Ques on uninhabited islands, are just to name a few of the possible activities. Ask Alvin to take you to Monkey town late afternoons to see a colony of wild monkeys. If you ask, he'll even cut some coconuts so you can drink fresh juice. It’s so refreshing, even better with some Malibu Rum, so bring some with you.

Drinking cocktails or cold beer, eating fresh seafood, sleeping, reading, relaxing, and walks along the beach are some other popular pastimes. There are always new treasures being washed up onto the beach such as shells, starfish and driftwood. Explore!

Great for 6 - 8.: Gilligans has 3 bedrooms is best suited for up to 6 persons but we can place an extra bed or beds for those who don't mind a few extra people around.

The weekly tariff covers the rental of the home, housekeeping, basic Breakfasts for up to 6 persons, an Island Hopping adventure for up to 6 persons including a Beach Barbecue lunch, ( Not applicable for short term stays under 6 days ). Additional charges apply for Breakfasts and Island Hopping for extra guests over 6 persons. Larger groups should consult with our office for pricing, as we may need another boat to accomodate a larger party. Email us and we'll send lots more information and some links to our photo pages and youtube link as soon as we receive your enquiry.

About Michell Brewer

My wife and I built our first home in Port Barton as we felt that this area was paradise and had the same potential as Boracay, without the crowds and overdevelopment. We live in Australia and travel regularly to Palawan where we have 2 beachfront homes, both listed in VRBO. We decided to rent the homes to help cover the costs of maintenance and to share the charm and beauty of this area. The feeling we have every time we arrive here is exciting. The homes are simple and it's the freedom and peace we feel here that we enjoy most. Cruising through the islands, swimming on our own beach and enjoying this very special place. I'm sure you'll also enjoy that special feeling.

Michell Brewer purchased this villa in 2007
Why Michell Brewer chose Palawan

I visited Boracay 20 years ago before I found Port Barton, I felt that Port Barton had the same potential as Boracay so my wife and I bought a Beach front lot there. Over the next few years we built our first home Villa Marguerita. We recently purchased Gilligans Hideout from a friend that had lived in the home for many years. We've added lots of amenities since then including a solar power system, solar hot water system, lights, refrigeration, satelite TV, a new kitchen and many other creature comforts. We love the privacy of this area as there are few neighbours in the area and we rarely see anyone else walk past along the beach. The clear water and magnificent beach are exactly like the photos and the scenery at Gilligans is absolutely stunning.

Port Barton is a small town South of San Vicente on the island of Palawan. Port Barton is 2 and a half hour boat trip from the underground river and 5 hours south of El Nido. The road trip from Puerto Princessa is a pleasant 2 and a half to 3 hour trip through dozens of small villages and beside the magnificent Palawan coastline. The trip goes quickly and it's worth the trip. Port Barton is Paradise.

Other Activities: Kayaks and Paddle boats, Boating, Wildlife Viewing

Paradise under the palms

5 of 5
Submitted: April 30, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
Four of us travelled from Northern Ireland and stayed at Gilligans for a week. We had some concerns before leaving, particularly about the remoteness of the location and the fact that there was no aircon in the bedrooms. All our anxieties were assuaged when we set foot on the beach in front of Gilligans. The remoteness is an essential ingredient of its charm, and aircon wasn't an issue: we were lulled to sleep each night by the gentle sound of the waves and the soft breeze wafting through the window. I left my 'kindle' on the plane in Manila and thought I'd be lost without any reading material. Not an issue - I didn't even miss it. The week flew by with our days occupied with kayaking, exploring the nearby beaches and islands, fishing and beachcombing and enjoying Estralia's cooking. Alvin took us to 'Blue Cove Resort' on a neighbouring island one day for lunch. While we enjoyed the trip, we couldn't get back to Gilligans quickly enough to enjoy the sheer solitude. We sat many evenings gazing at the stars trying to find words that might best describe Gilligans.'Fantastic', 'amazing' 'incredible' didn't even come close to doing it justice. There can't be many places in the world like Gilligans, but I'm glad we found this one.
Owner's Response: Thanks Richard for your kind words. There's something special about Gilligans that's hard to explain on a web page, so reviews from guests that have stayed with us help future guests overcome their concerns about booking a vacation in the 'wilds' of Palawan. Our house is a simple beach house, our staff are kind caring people and the location is outstanding. We can take up to 8 comfortably, but Gilligans is a wonderful choice for a Romantic Getaway for 2 or a young family. We hope to see you again one day! Mal

Gilligan's has got to be one of the best kept secrets about--so wonderful, in fact, that I'm hesitant to put a review up here to share this place with anyone else! If you're lucky enough to go there, you'll understand my desire to be so selfish...

Each day at Gilligan's was spent as follows: with tea on the porch; walks up and down the beach; more tea on the porch; snorkeling and kayaking about; a game of chess on the porch; a nap on the hammock; a beer on the porch... you can see where this is going...

The entire stay was beyond lovely and if I could instantaneously zap myself back, I would in a heartbeat.

In addition to the fantastic facilities, Mal was wonderful in preparation for our trip, supplying ample infomation and, at times, patience as well! Further, Estrellia was such an amazingly gentle and kind care-taker, we felt taken care of the entire time. (Not that our needs went much further than the porch)

Beautiful home, overwhelmingly fantastic holiday. Thank you to all!

5 days in the terrestrial paradise

Hello Mal,

I just returned the day before yesterday from the 2 weeks beautiful trip in South East Asia. I want to thank you for the 5 beautiful days we spent in the little piece of heaven you own in Palawan. It was amazing! A memorable adventure in the beautiful island we won't forget very soon! Many many thanks to the caretakers: Estrella, Alvin, Rey, Marilyn, Arnold, Jay and all the others, which with no exception, made our stay on the island beautiful! They are all such kind, helpful, honest and serene people. It was a pleasure to have them around helping us to feel so well in our holiday. The house is clean, nice and cozy and in an unique quiet location. It was a pleasure to watch the sea and sunset with a cold drink from the veranda of the cottage every evening. From a guy which is travelling a lot all the respect and admiration for the service providers in Gilligans and Villa Marguerita.

From the office now, but still missing the sun, light rain, smell & sound of the sea and our hosts in Palawan,

Razvan
