Superb staff. They ensured we felt pampered and spoilt. They were helpful in arranging transport to the town , airport and the hit springs. Good breakfast. Restaurant was decent for dinner as well. The rooftap bar happy hour was good too. The room was spacious and clean. The pool outside, the sitting space was amazing. The rooftop jacuzzi had an amazing sunset view.

The staff was great. Super friendly and always welcoming and accommodating. Really enjoyed the pool area. LOVED the rooftop bar. We watched the sunset from there while drinking yummy drinks every night.

Rooms are very comfortable and perfect pool to relax after a day of exploring Coron! Service was outstanding, they really tried to please us all the time and also helped us when we had a problem with our ferry tickets. The new menu in the pool restaurant was amazing!!!! Best spot to stay in Coron!

The staff is beyond amazing. From the moment you arrive they are always smiling and more than happy to help with anything you need. We really enjoyed our stay. The pool is so relaxing. Highly recommend

Kaylyn

The staff is really really nice and helpful. The rooms are really pretty and you have free minibar and they bring you fresh juices every day, which are amazing. Also at the pool is really relaxing. You have beach chairs and beds. And the staff is bringing you cold water and some cucumber and lemon sprays and wet minty towels to fight the heat :) The breakfast is also really nice, you have quite a diversity. The coffee is very good. Also their rooftop bar is really nice, the view is simply amazing. Their cocktails are also really really good. Was hard to find something in the menu that wasn't spicy but the staff out the spicy sauces on the side so I could eat as well.

Daniela

The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful. The roof top bar has amazing sunset views and prices are reasonable to have drinks and snacks.

Patricia

Best hotel out of our whole trip, from check-in to check-out. The front desk team welcomed us early and helped us arrange a private boat tour for the next day (after being disappointed by a previous reservation which we canceled). Rooms are awesome and so is the pool area. Food is great, lots of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Watching the sunset from the rooftop in the jacuzzi was the perfect end of our days.

Manon

Room very comfortable, excellent shower, helpful staff, great jacuzzi on roof. Very pleasant bar and restaurant!

The staff at the funny lion went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could possibly be. They were all so welcoming and friendly. The bar tender on pride rock always had a smile on his face and gave great service. Bernard behind the reception even assisted us to the hospital one day and made us feel at ease and was so helpful! Last but not least, the manger JB! He really went above and beyond to help us in such a difficult period during the presidents decision to lock down all of Palawan in relation to the virus. JB’s efforts and professionalism during such a difficult period for the hotel were truly amazing, and he stayed positive throughout. Can’t thank him and all the staff for all they have done. Thank you!! Would definitely recommend. The town is a short tricycle ride if needed but the food at the hotels restaurant was so good, we hardly needed to go out. Also, the view from the rooftop bar at sunset is amazing!! Enjoying drinks in the rooftop pools whilst the sun is setting. Doesn’t get much better :) thanks for an amazing stay. Taylor and Kavita

Beautiful boutique hotel. Staff were so attentive and couldn’t do more for us, picking us up at the airport & providing us with a welcome drink and small gifts. Beautifully clean & with fantastic facilities. The rooftop bar was amazing for sunset.

There was a lot of burning (of wood?) from next door I think almost every day. The smoke would travel over to the hotel. The smoke got so bad once that I couldn't stay in the pool area because I had a hard time breathing. I moved to the rooftop bar, but the smoke was still prominent there. It was extremely unpleasant. Not sure what the hotel can do about that though because it's from their neighbor... Another negative, the service at the restaurant is can be slow sometimes.
The staff was great. Super friendly and always welcoming and accommodating. Really enjoyed the pool area. LOVED the rooftop bar. We watched the sunset from there while drinking yummy drinks every night.

“Five Star Staff but Two Star for Value for Money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I checked in at Pride King Room for 3 days: Room need repainting, it looks slightly filthy because of the black and brown marks on the white walls Bathroom needs wall scrubbing I stayed at Cub Room for one day: The toilet emits awful, sewage-like smell Bathroom door jammed, my companion got locked inside but staff immediately came in to help The welcome balloon is cute but maybe come up with more earth-friendly ways to welcome guests No elevator, staff needs to lift heavy baggages upstairs for 2nd and 3rd floor and could potentially injure them and not PWD friendly. For the room rates (paid 33,000+ pesos for 4 days, 3 nights) , I am expecting no awful smell emitting from the toilet and up to date room facilities. Quite overpriced.
Staff are hardworking, helpful, and polite, they are all five star staff! Hydration run by the pool by staff who offers water with lemon Nice pool Wifi working Staff always cleaning the whole area Good breakfast options, different and a lot of options daily On the quiet side of town, just five minutes away from the busy part of the town Lots of trees and plants in the area Water heater in the room working Complimentary mini bar Gave me a nice birthday surprise with balloons, decorations, and nice red velvet cake in my bedroom after they did housekeeping Welcome drinks Availability of pick up to and from airport based on your flights Amazing sunset view at the rooftop bar

“Hotel friendly but ignores tourists' desire to sunbathe”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 3 nights
The pool is not big and due to its position only a few hours a day you could sit in the sun to sunbathe. There are no sunbeds, but only about 10 beach chairs, old model with wooden frame and canvas. On such chairs you cannot tan on the body. The investment would be minimal for modern beds.
The effort made by the entire staff, always with a smile on their lips, to provide a pleasant stay for tourists. Special thanks to Jen. Every day the hotel offered tourists free drinking water and you could find in the room small surprises (culinary and / or objects). I appreciated the fact that from the Reception you had the possibility to book many day trips.

“Perfect slice of paradise with the added bonus of AMAZING hospitality from the staff.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 4 nights
The only thing worth mentioning is that when we went to the restaurant, we would put in our order and usually one of the items we wanted, they did not have. Somewhat understandable as the island is a bit remote. So maybe always choose a back up food choice just in case.
The staff are beyond AMAZING! They are always so friendly, polite and willing to help with any request. The property is beautiful and even though it is a little bit outside of the town, it's only a 10 minute walk or 3 minute tricycle anywhere. It's a nice slice of paradise and we will definitely return one day.
