Just coming to the end of our stay at Summer Homes here in Port Barton and cannot honestly speak highly enough of it after coming on a personal recommendation from a friend. The road into Port Barton is an interesting experience (one which requires a 4X4) and can be hair raising uncertain places. However we weren't disappointed when we got... More

They have good rooms and a very nice property fronting the beach. Lots of grass, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and plenty of space. Very nice. Eat elsewhere, however, as the restaurant is comically overpriced compared to others within a five minute walk. Be aware that there is very little to do in Port Barton, so come here with the aim of... More

We stayed one night down the way at El Dorado cottages, and experienced a skunk spraying, followed by a barking rollicking pack of dogs out in front on the beach at 3 am, so we moved 100 m down the beach to Summer homes, which was cozy. It wasn't pricey, but not bottom end either. We got a fan room... More

Summer Homes is located almost directly at the beach. There is only a small nice garden betweeen the beach and the cottages. Upfront there are 4 cottages and in the rear of the resort some rooms. We had a cottage. It was clean and spacious. Because of the low season we have been the only guest in the whole resort... More

We stayed in a beach-front bungalow. It was quite roomy (even allowing for the extra bed for our teenage son) and clean. Sadly our 2 night stay was comletely ruined by a severe rainstorm which ruined all of our plans (and trust me when I say that with a young family, when the weather is bad, there's NOTHING to do...

The rooms are simple but very clean and better than you expect for the price (approx. 1500 Php for a double room), The service is very good with friendly staff. The food is amazing and we had better dinner here than in other 5 star resorts during this trip to... More

We stayed at one of the bungalows facing the beach. It was roomy and in good condition, nice to have some space to spread out all your belongings over after backpacking for a while! Service was very good at this place, and the staff at the hotel as well as people in Port Barton in general was perhaps the friendliest... More

Summer Homes is located right smack in the middle of the beach, specifically Pagdanan Bay of Port Barton. They offer two forms of accommodation – private rooms near the back and cottages that face the ocean. We stayed in a cottage for three nights, and the rooms were P850/night (about US$20). They only have four cottages available, so call ahead... More

Having spent four nights here in early Jan 2008, we absolutely loved it! Before we checked in, we checked out all the other resorts on the beach (El Dorado, Greenviews, Isobelles (formerly Swissipini), El Busero and Elsa's Beach cottages). Summer Homes had the best overall feel to it. I admit that Greenviews had nicer gardens, but it was too shady.... More
