mariejoy haven Beachfront resort, bar and restaurant on idyllic and private Naonao Beach in Port Barton, San Vicente mariejoy haven is a now family joint venture.

mariejoy story

It all started with one sister’s quest to find a peaceful place to relax the mind, body and soul. She found it in Naonao Beach in the small village of Port Barton in San Vicente, Palawan. Siblings joined her with a brother in law to create a beachfront cottage resort. Each contributing with their own experience and expertise in Legal, Engineering, Travel Agency, Airline and Hospita

lity industries. And we selected and trained members of the local community to take care of our guests. We opened in November 2019 and closed for 2 years during the pandemic lockdowns and super typhoons. We reopened in March 2022 with renewed energy to welcome our guests like family in our island paradise home. Our guests have enJOYed their stay and have praised our team. Truly, mariejoy stays in your heart because at mariejoy we are family!

On this beautiful lenten season of hope and renewal, we are grateful for the wonderful people who choose to spend their special moments with us by the sea.

“Thanks for the stay and your kindness. People here are so nice and the place is like heaven. The view is stunning ♥️.”
— Facundo and Chanelle from Argentina 🇦🇷 and France 🇫🇷, Beachfront Bungalow Apr 2–5

May your Easter be filled with peace, JOY, and the simple blessings that make life truly meaningful. 💛

Calm and Serenity.

We are always grateful when guests take a moment to share their experience with us. Reviews are more than just scores — they tell the story of moments and memories shared here by the sea. 🌊 🏖️ 🏝️

Recently, Nico and Sara from France 🇫🇷 described their stay as “calm and serenity”, and we couldn’t think of a more beautiful way to capture what we hope every guest feels when they arrive. He shared that being “away from the busy centre of Port Barton and the crowds” allowed them to truly relax and find peace.

Nestled among the palm trees along the beach, our spacious bungalows are meant to be a quiet place where guests can slow down, breathe and simply enjoy nature. His words about “finding peace for a few days while disconnecting from the noise of everyday life” are exactly why we created this little haven by the sea.

We are thankful for the perfect 10 and top scores across every category — staff, cleanliness, comfort, location, facilities,, and value. Recognition like this means the world to our local team who work every day to make guests feel welcome and cared for. They also mentioned our “attentive staff” and we are very proud of them. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality are what make this place feel like home.

To Nico and Sara and to every guest who recommends us for a peaceful stay — merci beaucoup and thank you for trusting us with your time here in Port Barton. Your kind words inspire us to keep creating a sanctuary where travelers can truly unwind and belong,

We hope to welcome you back to the beach again someday. 🌅 🌴

Paradise!
There’s nothing more meaningful to us than hearing how our guests truly felt during their stay. 💛

Recently, solo traveller Annie from United Kingdom 🇬🇧/Vietnam 🇻🇳 shared beautiful online reviews on Booking.com and Goggle.com after spending three nights with us — describing her experience as “a true paradise.” She wrote about being fully immersed in nature, away from busy streets, motorbikes, and even WiFi. For us, that was especially touching. Creating a peaceful, unplugged sanctuary where guests can slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with what matters most has always been our intention.

She also mentioned how secluded yet accessible the resort feels — close enough to town by motorbike, tuk tuk, or boat, yet far enough to enjoy real tranquility. That balance is something we work hard to preserve.

Her kind words about our family and team — “beautiful, happy and super friendly” — truly warmed our hearts. Hospitality is personal here. When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a room; you’re joining our little beach family and community.

We’re equally grateful for the perfect 10 with top scores given to our staff, cleanliness, comfort, location, facilities and value. Seeing the highest scores for Rooms, Service and Location is incredibly encouraging for our whole team. It reminds us that the small details, the early mornings and late nights, the warm welcomes and the heartfelt goodbyes all matter.

To Annie and to every guest who takes the time to share their experience — thank you. Your words inspire us to stay true to the peaceful paradise you’ve come to love.

We look forward to welcome you back to the beach. 🌴🌊 🏖️ 🏝️

✨ Second-to-None Experience, Straight From the Heart ✨

James & Kristen, a young couple from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, rated us a perfect 10 and shared words that truly moved our entire family - a review that truly touched our souls and will stay in our hearts forever. After nearly three months of traveling Southeast Asia, they told us that mariejoy haven was their favorite stay of all.

They wrote about the peace of our beachfront cabin, the comfort of the bed, the sensational food, the nature, the dogs, and most of all the family feeling that surrounds this little haven. Hearing that they felt at home, connected with our culture, and formed bonds with our local team, including our dedicated and exemplary manager Evy’s children Marco and Istoy, means more to us than we can ever express.

We built mariejoy haven with a mission and a dream: to open our family’s home, welcome and host guests with warmth and care, and share the quiet beauty of island life. Knowing that this was felt so deeply fills our hearts with gratitude and joy. mariejoy haven is, and always will be, a family-run home built on love, community, culture, and nature.

James & Kristen, thank you for your kindness, your generous spirit, and your love. We’re delighted you embraced our way of life, and sharing your hearts with ours. We are holding your memories close and already looking forward to the day we welcome you - and your family - back home again 🏝️.

We promise: we won’t change.

A golden moment

Last night, something truly magical happened on our shores 🌊🐢

As the moonlight kissed the sand, hundreds of baby green sea turtles emerged and began their first journey to the ocean—right here on our beach. No crowds. No noise. Just nature, uninterrupted and exactly as it has been for generations.

Moments like this remind us why we call this island home. Our resort isn’t just a place to stay; it’s part of a living, breathing ecosystem where wildlife still feels safe enough to return, year after year. The sight of these tiny hatchlings finding their way to the sea is a quiet but powerful sign of an unspoilt paradise—one we are deeply proud to cherish, care and protect.

To witness life begin in such a pure, beautiful way is a gift. And to share our island with our guests including little travelers, even for a few precious minutes, is a privilege we’ll never take for granted 💚

This is island life, as it’s meant to be.

Love is Love. Love is Family. 🌈

As we close out 2025, our hearts are full. Our final guests of the year were a beautiful Italian family who chose to share their holiday with us - and in doing so, became part of the mariejoy family.

From shared smiles to quiet beach moments, they reminded us that home is not a place, but a feeling of belonging.

Thank you for trusting us and for letting our little island paradise be part of your journey. You will always have a home here.

To all the wonderful guests who have stayed with us this year - thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the love you brought with you.

And to our upcoming guests, we wish you a safe, fun, and truly enJOYable trip filled with moments you’ll remember forever. 🌊✨

“mariejoy was the first stop of our vacation and we couldn’t hope for a better start. Thank you so much for making us feel at home! This place is magical and your friendly presence adds a special touch to everything. Leo will miss playing with Istoy and Marcus! Hopefully we will be back one day!”

“+ Evy + the family were an absolutely wonderful host and made us feel at home! Before we arrived, Evy very kindly organised all of our transport (bus, tuk tuk and boat) to the accomodation and made us feel right at home upon our arrival.

Located right on the beach, the resort’s location is idyllic and we were so glad to have stayed there, as opposed to the Port Barton town! We would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to switch off and be in nature for a few days.

We would describe the stay as recharging and soul nourishing.

We loved spending time playing with the kids at the resort and doing local activities - thanks Evy for organising this for us! Evy made lovely food (her spring rolls in particular were amazing!!).

All the staff were so attentive and cared about our experience. We look forward to coming again, and recommending mariejoy to all our family and friends home in Australia :)”
