I did not expect much because I know the area is quite far, little did I know that I would really enjoy the holy week because the 4-hr travel from puerto is very worth it.. The Besaga is very cozy, clean, quiet, and the food is great. AFFORDABLE and the staff are approachable and warm. I really recommend the place. Best Holy Week so far.

Very disappointed, we went for a first to know the schedules for dinner, we were told until 8pm. we came back 4 days later and we arrived at 7.20pm, the waitress (the same person as the previous time) arrived at 7.30pm to inform us that the kitchen is closed, it closes at 7.30pm. It would have been nice to let us know first.

We enjoyed Besaga, very nice stuff , good food, close to the beach. We stayed in non air co room, just air fan and it was fine! Fit to family, couples, and also for people who travel alone. The only thing is that there isn’t hot water in shower but is somehow ok because it’s hot outside.

We stayed here when the world closed due to covid in March. We were looked after as if we were family. The cottage is beautiful and super clean. It was our house for a week. Located right on the beach. They have a super nice restaurant where you can eat deliciously. The staff are very friendly. You can also spend your time in the outdoor gym that they have on site. It was the best place for us to be at the time. Emelie made phone calls for us and helped ensure that we could eventually go home safely. She reassured us enormously even though it was a difficult time. Always grateful for what Besaga has done for us. When the time comes we will definitely go back. We will never forget you. And for these readers, visit Besaga as soon as possible. They can use the income very well. And apart from that, it is the nicest place to spend your time.…

So this was my first ever solo travel to a beach and so I wanted to stay in a place where I could just chill and basically do nothing. I did some online searches for my accommodation and there was a lot of choices out there. But when I saw some photos of Besaga, it was just love at first sight! I knew right then that that's the place I wanted to stay. The only hesitation I had at first was the price because it's a little bit more on the expensive side compared to my other options. But I told myself I'd splurge a bit on my accommodation because I wanted to make my first solo beach travel extra special. And boy, did I make the right decision! It was, in fact, the best decision I've made during my stay! I got everything that I paid for, and more! Let me tell you why. 1. The Location. The property is located in the northern end of the beach which makes it the perfect place if you wanted a more peaceful stay (well Port Barton is quiet in general but it's even more peaceful here). Their restaurant and some of their cottages are also right in front of the beach. What's not to love in waking up and eating in front of a wonderful view? 2. The Food. The food in general is great. They offer free breakfast, which is awesome! And their meals come in huge servings too. They have a wide range of meals and beverages. My favorites were Honey Garlic Chicken and Pork BBQ! I didn't get to try any of their seafoods because I don't eat seafoods but I heard those were some of their best sellers. The only thing I wish they have is a Filipino-version of spaghetti. I'm a Filipino, I love spaghetti, and I like it sweet. LOL. But other than that, all the food that I've tried are delicious. 3. The Staff. Every single one of their staff are nice, especially Julie. Julie is the easiest to approach because she's always smiling and very accommodating. All of them are always ready to attend to your needs. Sometimes it may take a while to call their attention when they're at the front desk, but don't take it against them as sometimes it becomes too hot to stand outside. But they're all nice and approachable. 4. Tours. They have island/reef hopping tours which you could arrange at the front desk. I had so much fun when I went on an island hopping tour with other guests primarily because of the guides, Dondon and Arthur, are the funniest and coolest people you'll ever meet. The tour usually has 4-5 stops. But because we left on time and none of us have a flight to catch, the guides added 3 stops to our tour without an additional price. Also, the tour comes with free lunch and you'll be back to Port Barton at around 5PM which is in time to change clothes and wait for the sunset. 5. The Sunset. Speaking of the sunset, it's the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. Not gonna say more. You just have to see that on your own. 6. Last but not the least, The Owners. Ma'am Emily, the owner, and her daughter, Ma'am Cyndy, who is also the General Manager, are the nicest people I've met in Port Barton. The way they accommodate the guests is hospitality at its finest. Every single day since my first day, both of them would make sure to greet me and see if I was having a great time. They would also go out of their way to meet your needs as much as they could. And they do it happily! They genuinely wanted to make sure that you're having the best experience. It was definitely a pleasure meeting them! Thank you po!!! I've already said a lot but I feel like I still haven't said enough. LOL. There's just so many good things to say. Overall, Port Barton turned out to be everything I have ever dreamed of. And I was so glad and thankful to have witnessed the beauty of Port Barton through my place at Besaga. Peace and love :) <3 …

We had several dishes here, and all were very good indeed. The veggy curry amd calamari were excellent. Service was ok. Very nice views overlooking the sea. Shame they don't take credit cards, as we would have spent more money here.

Right on the beach. Beautiful cottages, lovely and clean with a decent restaurant. Port Barton isn’t touristy and is a great place to just chill out and this is a lovely place to treat yourself to for a few nights and you can get all the usual massages and treatments along the beach and just next door

Nice cottages at reasonable price but the highlight for me was the full English breakfast which can be served in the restaurant or at a table on the beach. I must admit that the service was a little slow but well worth waiting for, and the only place i know where they give you 5 slices of bacon.

Emily and Woody and their team have created a lovely, relaxing holiday experience. The rooms are spacious and very clean with a view overlooking the beach. The restaurant serves delicious food. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Wish I was there right now.
