How to reach Sunset Beach Resort
Which direction you may coming from, important is that you always make it clear that you want to go to SAN VICENTE, POBLACION and NOT Port Barton!!! (Because this small backpacker and party village is only a part of whole san vicente and another road leads there. Unfortunately got some guests dropped there and had a problem to get back on track)
Puerto Princesa:
From the van terminal in IRAWAN, the SAVIOR VAN COMPANY(!!!) has trips several times a day (no specific time, start only when enough passengers) for 500-600 php per person. The last trip leaves between 3 and 4 pm. Other vans start from the RobinsonMall. So it is better to coordinate this before you decide where to start from!
A private van (airport to resort service or other direction) costs 5,000 php one way and must be reserved with flight number and arrival time.
El Nido:
Mostly they have a daily trip at 1pm to SAN VICENTE town proper POBLACION for 500-600 php per person. Please ask your accommodation to contact JunEbno van company (+639518626141) to pick you up. Please dont forget: !!! NOT to Port Barton !!!
IF NO DIRECT VAN and/or beside the scheduled trips you also can take anytime any transportation from the van terminal (Roro-, Cherry bus or any van) down south until ITABIAK crossing/junction for around 400 php per person. From there it goes down to san vicente. Take any transportation what is available there (van, TukTuk, E-trike, mototaxi, just ask the Flores SariSari Store to assist you) and the driver drops you at my place.
Another option would be to arrange a private van. This would cost 5,500php one way (from or to El Nido).
From all directions coming, only tell the driver my name and he will drop you at my place:)
When you are staying in Port Barton before then one option would be to take a boat (around 3,500 php)! Please ask your accommodation, the coast guard or tourist office in Port Barton to organize this for you. Or you ask at the terminal or your host for a TukTuk to bring you along the coastal road.
Our San Vicente Airport is connected with Cebu. CebuPacific Airline flies 4 times per week to/from cebu. Please check online prices and the schedule.
I am looking forward to welcome you here at Sunset Beach Resort. In case you need some assistance my number here is +639199743997.
Also please be informed, that here everybody (hotels, restaurants, tours, transportation, etc) depends on cash payments and also your stay here must be paid in cash. There is no possibility to pay via Booking.com or credit card! But there are two ATMs nearby in town and also foreign currency can be changed. If you are using realtime-money-transfer-apps (like WISE APP) you can pay on spot:)
See you at sunset, have a safe and comfortable journey!
Your Sunset Beach Resort, Roberto
