I love that it's located on it's own little island. It's a great place if you want to get away from the noise in the city. It also has its own restaurant. We pretty much had it to ourselves at night including the pool.

This resort sits on its own island so it was really quiet. Staff were really friendly and did what they could to better or experience

Jaime

Staffs are very kind and approachable. there is a free boat ride available anytime if you want to go to town. Place is quiet, perfect for relaxation or to unwind. there is a mangrove around the resort.

I love being in the island, just so quite but also stressful because i had to wait for the boat which is not a big deal but I recommend this hotel

Nice resort on its own island away from the madness so it’s really peaceful. The setting is very serene and the breakfast and shuttle service were very good

I really love how accommodating and how they treat us, I really love how they smile :)

Location is very nice, but on a different island, which means going to the center requires a boat transfer - possible until 11.30pm. Facilities are really nice and it is very easy to go for tours directly from the resort.

We really enjoyed our stay. The facilities were clean and cozy. The outdoor pool was a nice treat during the day. The property has lots of spaces to relax and the staff members are very helpful and accommodating. The food is a bit pricy but excellent. Getting to the dock in Coron and back to the island was very easy. I’d highly recommend staying here because the town of Coron doesn’t have much going on but the resort is was an excellent space to spend our time.

We liked the view from our cottage; the staff were super friendly and accommodating. We loved the tours they arranged and the tour guides, especially Elizabeth who was very solicitous for my 80 year-old sister when we were hiking up and down the steps to Kayangan Lake. It's the people who made our experience special.

I was in a cottage without A/C. The cottage was poor and with an ugly roof. The swiming pool was in bad conditions as well as the common shower. We faced power cuts and lack of current water very often. The price is too high for that poor facilities
The staff is kind. The food is cheap and eatable. And the tranport to the city is quick

Crossing by boat if wet and windy weather! Landing facility at town could be improved! Part of the fun!
The location was secluded, tranquil and picturesque, with great tree and sunset views from the veranda outside the rooms. Private and away from the busy small town.

“Stay in town. Not in this place”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
I choose to stay for 6 nights expecting that the site is a beach front with kayaks so when we don't have tours, we can relax at the beach but its not actually a beach rather a sea full of mangroves, jelly fish and no kayak. They don't even advise you to swim. no views and it's a pain in the ass to come and leave the hotel as you need to request for a boat that takes an average of 20 mins. of waiting and is only available until 11:30 in the evening. the infinity pool that just a little bigger than a bath tub and water is so dirty that in 4 feet depth, you cannot see someone swimming at the bottom. paint is also mixing the water no tiles. The restaurant prices are too high which I can understand because you are in an island and you can not find any other stores nearby. with free wifi that takes forever to upload 1 photo. and a faulty billiards table. when you want to eat in the room, you need to personally go to restaurant to place your order as they don't have an intercom and you will be the one to bring it to your room as they will not deliver it. room price is double from the town proper Php. 3000 and what you got is a bed, fan, 2 sachets of nescafe 3in1, and a toilet without bidet with water pressure in the sink that takes an hour to fill a deeper. they will not clean it unless you request. The whole area of the hotel is not so clean, no views, full of insects usually during rainy season. all in all, stay in the town instead. The island has nothing to offer except from the stress of going in and out.
no crowd

I didn’t like the fact that they were out of so many things. I’d have liked to have at least a small store to get snacks, cigs and stuff without having to leave the Island.

Although I really enjoyed the boat rides to the island, on a few occasions when we had a boat booked other residents took it so we were left waiting for it to return, not the worst thing in the world. Rooms could have been a bit cleaner, however, this did not really effect our enjoyment of the property.
Private island was really nice and exclusive, rooms were spacious and acceptable. Food was really good and staff accommodating. Fantastic value for money.
