In the shadow of El Nido, Port Barton on Palawan Island in the Philippines is busy but still doesn't host as many tourists as other destinations. There are plenty of hotels around, but we recommend everyone to stay at the Jungle Bar which is not that convenient to reach but worth the extra effort to get there.
