But apart from those things, what made my vacation in Port Barton worthwhile was my stay in Ausan Beach Front Cottages.

How to go to Port Barton from San Vicente?

Reaching Port Barton from San Vicente isn’t convenient unless you hire an outrigger boat. The boat normally takes an hour but for land transportations, travel time could take an entire day because of many transfers and waiting time. There was a regular passenger’s boat before from San Vicente going to Port Barton, but due to the boat’s safety issue it was ceased, and the only option that people now have is to hire a private one.

If coming from San Vicente, hiring a private boat could costs as much as PHP 4,000. Being solo that time, I found it very costly. But luckily, I was able to hitch a ride from the resort I was staying. It was timely that the day of my travel to Port Barton was also the day that the resort decided to test their new boat. Initially, they only planned to sail and get to the nearby islands but upon learning about my predicament, they took the boat to Port Barton so I could be there straightaway.

It was past noontime when I was able to get to Port Barton. Seeing this place for the first time had already given me a good impression. Seeing how calm the sea is, how serene the beachside village is and how charming the surrounding is instantly gave me a feeling that my vacation was going to be wonderful. I knew from then that I will be admiring this place so much – and that feeling was right.

After I bade goodbye to the family who brought me to Port Barton, I immediately went to Ausan Beach Front Cottages.  The resort is just right beside the tourist center. I then went inside and told the staff about my room reservation.

Beach Front Cottage, Triplets Cottage, Beachfront Duplex Cottage, Beachfront Superior, UFO and Tree House are also the other types of accommodation that Ausan Beach Front Cottages has.

The Beach Front Superior Rooms are located at the top of the restaurant area. The room has a single bed and a double bed. It has a private toilet and bathroom. But what makes it superior is it has a separate living room area. The living room is designed with a sofa, electric fans, LCD Flat TV and TV Satellite.

The Superior Room also has its own veranda providing a splendid view of the sea.

UFO and Tree House are two special accommodations of the resort. Each accommodation has a mattress that is good for two persons. Inside there’s a small table and an electric fan. Electric sockets can also be found.
