The beach is not suitable for swimming and I was not aware of this. For some guests this wouldn't matter, but I love swimming and this was a big disappointment for me. Having immediate access to the ocean, for the purpose of swimming, was the main reason for selecting a coastal resort. There is no wifi, which I was also not aware of.

The hosts and staff were very hospitable, friendly, down-to-earth and helpful. I visited in low season and they made extra effort to offer me personalized attention and experiences. The pool was excellent and was a key feature. The food was delicious and well priced. The resort is well constructed and maintained, and managed in a way that respects the sensitive environment in which it is located. I loved the island hopping experience. It was the highlight of my trip. I also enjoyed a very good massage.

TV not the best but no need for television in such a beautiful location.

Excellent coffee, breakfast and enjoying it on the beach.

* There are no other restaurants within walking distance, but you can take a tricycle to downtown. It’s less than a 5-minute ride away! * It’s a bit isolated, so if you're looking for a party scene, this might not be for you (again, downtown is less than 5-min tricycle ride away). However, if you're after a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this place is ideal.

I just want to echo the other reviews—this place is truly amazing. For me, it’s always a joy to come back here after a day of island hopping and land tour. It has become my happy place. Every corner is beautiful, and both sunrise and sunset are something to look forward to every single day. The on-site restaurant serves good food, and the view makes every meal even better. Whether you're watching the sunrise or sunset, the experience never disappoints. I even brought my morning coffee down to the beach just to enjoy the peaceful vibe. Also, an earlier review mentioned April being a “good” cook. Honestly, that’s such an understatement. She’s a pro in the kitchen! If you ever have an issue, April or Roberto will personally help you. They don’t just send a staff member—they’ll be there themselves. Their kindness and warmth are just the cherry on top. And let’s not forget Kikai and Sam, the resident dogs. They add the perfect touch of cuteness to the whole place. Roberto supports local boatmen and other local businesses, which I really admire. If there's a business worth supporting, it’s this one!

Aahhhh nichts....except leaving!

What did I like? I loved everything about Sunset Beach Resort! The owners, Roberto and April, went above and beyond in all aspects of my stay there.. The thought and detail that has gone into their accomodation, I believe is, next level. They were both so welcoming, and also, the staff are an asset, especially Angela and Kristy Anne! The location is amazing, so quiet and beautiful with a private beach. Sam and Kickai ( apologies for the spelling) the Dogs, for me, were an extra bonus as they are both gorgeous Dogs, but I was missing mine at home. .😍 April's cooking was delicious, every meal was good and a great range of choices. The activities organised through Sunset were without fault, I recommend the day tour with Duane up to Secret Beach....but sssshhh it's a secret! I had the best trip from El Nido airport to Sunset beach with the driver Jun Ebno that Roberto organised. It was an interesting trip with such good information along the way and many laughs. The pool and resort gaardens are so well maintained, the details are beautiful. I really enjoyed the communal dinners with the other guests, but you don't have to do that either. Totally up to you. And of course, the Sunsets are just stunning! I will be back, as it was one of the many highlights of my trip!

Amazing, cozy and really well kept property in a secluded place - perfect if you want to unwind within the nature and delicious homemade food. The staff is also really really helpful - even though we had some minor issues, they went above and beyond to help us. If I ever go back to Palawan, I won’t hesitate to stay there for even longer.

An amazing resort! Roberto and his staff take care of everything while you enjoy the best that Palawan has to offer. We will definitely visit again.

Really beautiful spot to relax. The sunsets were amazing. Roberto, his wife and their staff treat you like family. Nice social vibe at mealtimes but can also keep to yourself. Boat trip was great fun. Would definitely stay again

Unfortunately you can't swim in the beach here. It's very shallow. The beds and rooms are quite small but they have everything you need.

Beautiful sunsets, and the food is scrumptious. The staff are wonderful. Lots of lovely hammocks and places to relax. The island tours Roberto organises are absolutely fantastic, including sensational lunch.

Stayed in April 2025

Roberto was very helpful, the staff were wonderful. Very small resort in the best possible way. Beach, kayaks, food, pool, and bikes were great! Would stay again for sure

Really special little place near the town of San Vincente. Robert is a wonderful host and the staff is absolutely amazing. Food is really good and the whole place has such a peaceful vibe. We rented some scooters and visited the beautiful beaches in the area. Highly recommended.

Stayed in March 2025

The location is quite isolated which makes the resort very peaceful but at the same that means you need transport to get into the small town of San Vincente. No problem but something you need to be aware off.

Sunset Beach Resort is very unique as it only consists of 5 rooms. The owner provides everything you need. The beach is great for walks during low tide. We enjoyed the pool and the many other amenities provided. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

We were met by the hosts as family members and were treated this way for rest of our stay. Which made our stay unforgettable. Fantastic place with delicious meals every day. Truly small paradise in Palawan. I had health problems upon arrival but the kindness and support of the hosts pushed it all to shade. Thank you, guys, so much!

What a great accommodation!!! The resort only has 5 rooms with extremely personalized service. Roberto and his team take care of every wish... we felt very comfortable and had a great time.. The resort has a small private beach with an incredible view... don't miss the sunsets with a sundowner. The food is varied and delicious. Definitely the best accommodation we had on our Philippines tour. Many thanks for the great hospitality. We will definitely come back!

Stayed in March 2025

We had a great time at Robert's resort. The staff is super friendly, and the food is the best we ate in the Philippines. There are options to join different island hopping tours which we recommend a lot. You can also have a massage booked in short advance. There are a lot of beach amenities like hammocks and sunbeds, also in the shade so you will always find your place to relax with the sea view. One minus for me was that the sea is very shallow next to the beach so it is difficult to swim. But since we joined the private Port Barton island hopping tour we could swim there. Twin Reef is amazing and totally worth to see it.

Nothing. Just a bit disappointed that you couldn’t swim in the sea out the front. But there was a lovely pool to cool off in.

Location, staff and Filipino food. We were really well looked after and had a best 3 days with Roberto, April and their team. The boat trip was fantastic a must to do during your stay!

No wifi available (PLDT's substandard service), except for hotspot via the owner's phone. Barely any signal available for Globe users (only Smart with a reasonable signal).

Clean and spacious rooms, nicely designed. Location directly at the beach, with plenty of facilities to relax (i.a., pool, hammocks, sunbathing chairs), about 30min walking distance (or 5min with tuktuk) from San Vicente town-center. Stunning sunset views. Beautifully landscaped garden / overall property, well maintained and in good condition. Family-like atmosphere with the owner and the other guests (only 5 rooms available). They help to arrange trips (land tours, island hopping). Food (mostly local dishes) is prepared with fresh ingredients, and tastes delicious.

It was sad having to leave. The staff made you feel like you’re at home. Everything was fabulous.

Everything was amazing. Our hosts, Roberto and April, were absolutely fantastic. Very engaging and helpful with a great sense of humour. The staff were wonderful, kudos to the chef for all the consistently delicious meals. The rooms were very well designed, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Good hot water and AC. Didn’t realize the resort had direct access to its own beach so that was a bonus. Was able to enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset every evening. And no bites from sand flies during our 4 day stay. Incredible! We took the island hopping tour the first day and had such a fabulous time. Saw lots of colourful fish, turtles, starfish, and beautiful coral. Tremendously better that the one we did at 100 Islands. Had a very relaxing, quiet and wonderful time here. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended.
