Panorama Beach Resort Feel the warm hospitality, relaxing decor and delicious cuisine, when you spend vacation at the Panorama Boracay Resort, located in the middle of the Boracay strip
We called it Gilligans coz originally, just like the television theme song, there were No Phones No Lights and No Motor Cars, not a single luxury, as primitive as can be..., however things have progressed a little since then to Solar and wind powered lights and refrigeration, cell phone and limited internet coverage and satellite television,…..but still no motor cars! The 3 bedroom home is a simple timber home with a basic beach house feel. Don’t worry about getting a little sand on the floors inside. It’s easy to clean. Gilligans has 2 new bathrooms and a new kitchen. It has 2 new bathrooms and a new kitchen. There is a large lounge and dining area with unique furniture. The facilities are clean and comfortable. You'll probably spend most of your time on the front veranda or our beachfront bar looking out to the stunning views of the pristine beach and the deep blue waters of the marine park area, or you can enjoy a few beers or cold drinks as you relax. Its very quiet here! Very few neighbours. The rooms are quite airy and usually cool as we are beside the sea. The rooms have mosquito screens and mosquito nets are provided for each bed. You are welcome to do your own cooking or enjoy the basic Filipino home style cooking of our caretakers wife Australia. She will gladly prepare basic meals for you. For those who prefer western style food, Marilyn the cook at our other home will prepare meals to your liking. Our caretakers are happy to shop for you.
Our caretakers are happy to shop for you as Gilligans is away from the main stores. A laundry service is also available.

How to get there
Flights from Manila to Puerto Princesa:
Palawan is a one hour domestic flight from Manila airport. We find Cebu Pacific to have the most competetive prices currently. Our assistant in Puerto Princesa is happy to assist guests to arrange for the payment of domestic tickets, as most airlines won't accept telephone payments.
The trip to Port Barton from Puerto Princesa is picturescue as it follows the east coast of Palawan and then weaves through the small villages that dot the countryside. You'll see a wide cross section of Filipino culture and life along the road. It's a 3 hour trip to Port Barton, and Gilligans Hideaway is a quick boat trip from our sister home at Port Barton.
From Puerto Princesa to Port Barton:
The daily jeepney from Puerto Princessa to Port Barton leaves around 8.30 AM every day and costs only Php 300 per person whilst a good quality 4x4 airconditioned Shuttle Van can be organised for a direct trip from the airport to Port Barton for around Php 4000. We have an old 4X4 Pathfinder utility available for groups of 3 or 4 without aircon for Php 4000. The Port Barton road has been repaired and is in very good condition now.
Native Style Home with a relaxed resort atmosphere. The 3 bedroom villa with 2 bathrooms is a native style timber construction with fantastic water and island views.
Package includes breakfast and Island hopping trip
