everything! unlimited access to the kayaks, paddle board, and beautiful lagoons!

Ericka United States of America

The scenery awesome, beautiful clear water, the house boat was a wonderful experience. My Girlfriend and I loved every moment. The food and service was most excellent!

Wyatt United States of America

The location is something unique and the Houseboats are the perfect solution to enjoy the best of Coron Island and all its attractions. Do not miss the tour to the lakes by private speedboat. We were alone in the two beautiful freshwater lakes. The restaurant serves delicious food at a more than reasonable price considering the location and logistics. We'll be back! Free use of kayaks and masks makes the stay even more exciting as you can go to Twin Lagoons and some snorkeling spots on your own within minutes

The location is something unimaginable. A pristine lagoon in the marine reserve of Coron Island. The houseboats (eco-friendly) are a beautiful and unique experience. In contact with the sea but without giving up any comfort. The lagoon is very safe, very sheltered and the staff is on duty 24 hours a day. We were also surprised by the quality and variety of the food and drinks. To give an example in such a remote place we ate: Calamari, frittto misto di marre, authentic pasta carbonara al dente , crabs cooked in coconut milk, nutella crepes and Italian prosecco, chianti black rooster, several cocktails, moscato and much more'!! An experience not to be missed. All very well organized. Starting with the private van (complimentary) that picked us up at the airport and brought us to the pier where the private speedboat (complimentary) took us to the houseboats in 15 minutes. Also very useful to be able to use (for free) the kayaks and the masks and fins for snorkeling.

Clark Philippines

Paolyn provided the most exceptional customer service and care during a difficult travel period for the Philippines in early January with national flight cancellations and storms causing delays. We can’t thank Paolo and Lyn enough for their care and support during our travel disruption.

Chris United Kingdom

Wow, what an amazing place to stay! We arrived in Coron after Island hoping across some amazing places and Paolyn still managed to blow us away, one of the coolest hotel experiences we’ve had! just being right in the middle of the lagoon with your own kayak and paddle board was amazing! you are minutes away from the twin lagoon and they deliver all your meals and drinks to your boat house, what is not to like? We also had the pleasure to meet Paolo during our stay, he was so lovely and you can see he is putting his soul into the place! congratulations Paolo and team and keep up the good work! Lots of love, Felipe & Lais

Felipe United Kingdom

The location and feel of the place is magical. Paolo has an amazing mission to give accommodation and experiences to visitors while keeping Coron Island special and providing for all the local people. Truly a special place with the right morals. You get to stay in the middle of paradise.

Adam United Kingdom

Everything. The stay was simply excellent. 100% recommendable if you are planning to visit Coron. You have the twin lagoons at 10 mins by kayak and a good diving area arround.

Alberto Spain

Staying in Paolyn houseboats was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience and I feel so lucky to have known such a beautiful place. The food was superb. Can't thank enough the staff that always welcomes you with a gentle smile. Looking forward to come back soon.

Nathaliesa Portugal

the unique location in the coron island lakes compensates the high price. The staff treat you like a king. The restaurant food is really good.

Further, staying on the houseboat overnight allows us to bring you there in the spots when nobody is! For example you can be alone enjoying the incredible Kayangan Lake or Barracuda Lake…. On the Houseboat we have snorkeling gears, kayaks and paddleboards. All for free In 10 minutes you can paddle from the Paolyn Houseboat to the famous Twin Lagoons going trough some stunning lagoons with calm sea and breathless limestone landscape! Since we are so close you can go there yourself by kayak or standuppaddleboard also early in the morning or late in the afternoon before tourists boats arrive or after they are gone! You can also snorkel directly from the Houseboat. Just jump in the water and enjoy the corals and colorful fish just around the houseboat in our lagoon or in the nextby Hidden Lagoon Coral Garden, just 5 minutes swimming from the houseboat. From Paolyn Houseboat we also organize private half day or full day tours (island hopping) with our speedboats all with original new Yamaha outboards from Japan.

Property info

These new eco-friendly houseboats (with a private italo filipino houseboat restaurant located in the next lagoon) are in three pristine private lagoons in the limestone island of Coron, Unesco Biosphere, National Park, Marine reserve and ancestral domain of the Tagbanua Tribe that are actively involved in our operational. Each room has its own private internal bathroom with shower, private dining area, private outdoor floating deck with sunbeds and sun umbrella. No pollution, no traffic, no noise. Amazing landscape. Just 500 mtrs from Twin Lagoons (where you can go by yourself with our complimentary kaykas and 15 mnts by speedboat from Coron Town (free transfers). 24kw solarpanels, 12.000 ah batteries, 12 kw inverter to give comfort to guests even if totally off-the-grid. No waste water discharged in the sea. It is the only place where to sleep and eat in all Coron Island. Snorkeling gears, kayaks and standuppaddleboards are all for free. You can visit twin lagoons by your own when no tourists. You can also start from the houseboat private islands hopping tours with our speedboats to all the famous sites of Coron (Kayangan and Barracuda Lakes, Twin Peaks, Seven Picados, Banol beach, Smith Beach, WWII wrecks, Malcapuia, Bulog Dos, Ditaiatan, and much more) Even if not really needed, some rooms have also air-conditioning (with extracharge). Please send a message in case you need it. Our entry level are the small budget double rooms and the double rooms with balcony that are VERY small! Sailboat style. The total indoor and outdoor area of these rooms is 30 square meters. Please look at the pictures and at the video of them before to book them. They do not have the options of AC. All the other rooms have the option of AC and have a total private indoor and outdoor areas starting from 60 square meters to 300!

Neighborhood info

The great thing of these houseboats is that it is in Coron Island that is a different island from Busuanga Island, where Coron town is located. It is the only accommodation and restaurant of all Coron Island and most of the sites that you want to visit are located in Coron Island (Kayangan and Barracuda lakes, Twin lagoons, snorkeling sites like Twin Peaks or Seven Picados or Smith Coral Garden etc) so you are very close to all these amazing spots and you can visit there also at times when tourists did not arrive yet or have already left! On the other side Coron town is only 15 minutes speedboat ride and we can bring you there anytime to go to the hotspring or to go to souvenir shopping. Consider that in Coron Town there are not beaches or places where you can swim. The other good thing of sleeping on the houseboat location is that during your island hopping tour you can stop there for lunch so you can have your meal sitting comfortably at the table in the shade in your private dining area on in our italo filipino restaurant and relax instead to eat sitting uncomfortably in the sun or in the rain! Indeed the location of the houseboats is right between the different sites on Coron Island!
