Welcome to the Greenviews Resorts website!

There are two Greenviews Resorts in Palawan; the original one at Port Barton and the latest at Corong-Corong, El Nido; opened in November 2007. Both resorts have high standards of cleanliness maintained by the friendly and helpful staff and management, which helps guests enjoy the fascinating natural and unique beauty of Palawan - an island which Jacque Cousteau described as the most beautiful place he had ever visited. Backpackers are welcome and occassionally the owners organise fully inclusive package holidays of 17 days duration. Details of such packages are set out elsewhere. (click here for more details)

 
The owners of Greenviews Resorts have a sincere love of plants, animals and the environment, and have taken steps to maintain and encourage the varied wildlife, much of which is endemic to Palawan. This can be seen at Greenviews Port Barton, where butterflies such as the Golden Birdwing (Troides platini) and the Paper Butterfly (Idea leuconoe) breed in its garden, to be enjoyed and marvelled at by the guests of Greenviews. Although both resorts have the same high standards and a home from home atmosphere they exhibit different characteristics which encourage guests to visit and revisit both resorts. Greenviews Corong-Corong is ideally placed to enjoy the Bacuit Archipelago, which has probably the most spectacular seascape in the world - with its unusual rock formations, secret lagoons, secret beaches, caves and wonderful coral, snorkelling and dive sites.
Such beauty and yet so few tourists compared with Thailand etc., but Port Barton has fewer tourists than even the Bacuit Archipelago! The beautiful island beaches offshore from Port Barton are often deserted even though surrounded by a tropical sea blessed with spectacular coral, and snorkelling and diving opportunities. Port Barton has one other amazing jewel to entice visitors, a day trip to The Underground River, a World Heritage Site and Philippines 2009 entry for the 8th Wonder Of The World. Claimed to be the world’s longest navigable underground river, tourists take guided boat tours to marvel at the fascinating shapes of the stalactites and stalagmites inside the cave along with millions of bats! Port Barton village has a quiet charm and visitors enjoy strolling around and seeing friendly locals carrying out their daily chores.
Greenviews has its own guides whose willingness to assist guests in countless tasks, and always with a cheerful smile, ensures a rewarding holiday for all concerned. This backed with their keen eyesight never ceases to amaze visiting birdwatchers and insect enthusiasts.
At both resorts a relaxing massage can be arranged at about £7 for an hour – that’s a bargain not to be missed if you have a wreck of a body like Dave!
Both resorts can also arrange external activities such as island hopping, fishing trips and diving. At night, the romantic scenery is backed up by wonderful displays of stars, made possible by the lack of light pollution - making the resorts ideal locations for weddings and honeymoons.
