Top Hotels Near German Island in from NZ$33

"We came from Puerto Princesa and are now in El Nido. The hotels in both of these places (for the same money!) are outstanding which made us realise HOW BAD this one was. We stayed for 2 nights and during this time we had no hot water or the housekeeping done. Appreciate Port Barton has more of a rustic charm so the price should reflect it. This was nothing more than an old outdated static caravan. Breakfast was terrible. Another table were complaining about a 70 minute delay despite ordering the night before. We didn’t have anything day 2 and were pleased to get out of there. "

"Great access to pristine beach with very few crowds. Very friendly staff and excellent efforts to make guests comfortable. Rooms are spacious and quite well equipped. The infinity pool offers great view of the sea and sunset. Had some difficulty communicating with the hotel prior to arrival especially in arranging ground transportation to reach the hotel from other cities in Palawan. Hope they fix that problem."

"Nice little hotel. Quiet part, staff is really helpful and nice. Rooms are nice and clean but simple. Good value for money and a very nice location by the sea. Be sure to get dropped off at the back entrance when you have luggage makes the arrival easier. "

"The shared spaces (eating area and outdoor) are manicured very nicely and the owners/staff were great. The room was clean but needed maintenance. The shower head fell off as soon as we turned it on and the toilet seat was very loose. There is also no AC. The fan worked which was good. Luckily the owner did quickly fix the shower head for us. The screen doors also didn't fully close so bugs could fly in. It's a convenient location and a good price."

"Friendliest and most attentive staff I’ve ever come across. Clean, well equipped rooms and incredible location. "

"Our stay at Coconut Garden Resort was unforgettable! Nestled on the beautiful Cagnipa Island, it felt like our own private paradise. Although the forecast predicted rain, we were lucky to enjoy two full days of sunshine—perfect for exploring and relaxing. The house reef just off the beach was a highlight—amazing snorkeling right at our doorstep! The resort's menu and food exceeded our expectations—fresh, flavorful, and with great variety. Every meal felt like a treat. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, attentive, and always ready with a smile. And we absolutely loved the resort dogs, Momo and Toytoy—sweet, friendly companions who made the experience feel even more homey. The boat shuttle to and from Port Barton was scenic and smooth, adding to the adventure. For most of our stay, we had the whole island to ourselves, which made it incredibly peaceful and special. A group of about 15 guests arrived after we left, so we really got to enjoy that serene, castaway vibe. If you're looking for a unique, off-the-beaten-path island experience with great hospitality and natural beauty, Coconut Garden Resort is the perfect escape. We’re already dreaming of coming back!"

"Walkable to the beach...staff are super nice! "

"Marina Terrace (the restaurant) is beautiful for sunset and the couple running it, Kieran and Beth really make the place special. They are knowledgeable world travelers so we found kindred spirits. Kieran is an amazing chef who whipped up to die for risotto as good as we have had in Italy. They gave us great recommendations of where to go and what to do. This is an authentic local experience with few tourists. The town itself is very safe and close by there are some nice hikes and killer beaches nearby. We rented a scooter from them to get around and explore including riding it on Long Beach which was a ball. The rooms are basic with a comfy bed, hot water and decent AC. Rare for these parts is that the water is potable which is huge as you have no worries about getting sick. Highly recommended for travelers looking to hang out with the locals and enjoy a beer on empty beaches. We also rented a private boat and snorkeled some of finest reefs we’ve ever seen. Thank you Kieran, Beth and the rest of the crew for making this a standout among our many travel experiences."
