Unique Accomodation at Port Barton, Palawan, Philippines

Spending Christmas 2024 at the Jungle Bar Resort and Cottages, surrounded by nature, no internet, no phone signal—it was something I didn’t know I needed.

At first, it felt strange—no notifications, no scrolling. But then, I started noticing things I’d been missing. The sound of the waves, the laughter of locals, the way the sunlight hits the water at golden hour.

 

 

I learned to appreciate silence. The kind that’s not empty, but peaceful. I learned that real connection doesn’t always need Wi-Fi—it happens over shared meals, stories, and smiles.

I appreciated the simplicity of island life—slow mornings, real conversations, and nights filled with music, sometimes the sound of crickets, instead of screens.

 

This trip reminded me that sometimes, the best way to reconnect is to completely disconnect. Gratitude feels deeper when life is quieter. And when you finally put your phone down, you pick yourself back up. _kenny🖤
