Palm Village Guesthouse

Palm Village Guesthouse is a budget-friendly (₱₱) stay on the Circumferential Road in San Juan, a short walk from the main beach strip, bars and restaurants — handy as a low-cost base for exploring the island by scooter.

The cottages are basic but functional: kitchenette, private bathroom (cold water only — there's no hot shower), balcony, Wi-Fi, ceiling fan, TV and fridge, sleeping up to 4. The beach right in front is shallow, which is great for families with kids paddling but means you'll walk a fair way out to actually swim. It's a quiet property with no restaurant or bar on-site, so several guests note that housekeeping (towels, supplies) works best if you ask rather than wait for it — that said, past visitors consistently praise the sunset views and the calm, unhurried atmosphere.
