10 Specialty lodgings in Coron: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 21, 2023 Dorsey Hagwood

Coron is a fantastic base for adventure, especially for underwater explorers seeking to dive amid the Japanese shipwrecks of the 1940s. Hop a guided mangrove kayak tour or practice your killer spike on the beach-volleyball court at Atwayan Beach. Jungle treks, horseback tours and island camping will further quench your thirst for the ultimate outdoor experience.

Kudos to all the staff especially Ms Camille who patiently assisted us with all our queries re: accommodations etc. From our arrival, check-in up to the departure.

Nice Hotel, but...

Reviewed By Philip C

For the purpose of this review, I will confine myself solely to the Hotel as sadly, I was not a fan of Coron but that's largely irrelevant here, as this is a review of my accommodation whilst there and not Coron per se'. In which case, should you be considering a stay at the Blue Waters Inn I hear you ask? Well, and this is a difficult one but on reflection, for me it was not a good fit. On the basis that we all seek different things when away, best then to simply list the Good & the Not so Good points, then it'll be up to you to decide for yourself. Fair? I think so. Good Points Room 301 is a large room classed as a Standard Queen room, which overall, I thought looked very nice. I especially liked the bed which felt very comfortable though hard but, I like hard so all good. The bathroom appears clean and the towels smell fantastic! The TV has a number of English speaking channels available, including CNN which is also nice as I'm a news buff. Wifi is intermittent but, I'm on holiday so we'll forgive the odd drop-out. There is a guest lounge on the second floor which is another nice touch and the staff were always courteous and pleasant during my brief 2 night stay, as indeed you'd expect in the Philippines. For security purposes, the lobby is manned 24 hours a day, though you may occasionally find the night guard 'resting', his eyes, as well as his body during wee small hours! Lol! Finally, price USD 88.90, this for two nights (March 2020). Difficult to argue against such value. Not so Good Points The plumbed-in bidet hose was forever leaking, even when supposedly fixed. This meant the bathroom floor never properly dried out and was a real pain when getting ready to go out. The handle of the bathroom window had broken off which meant the window could not be closed. This was also a real pain as the noise from outside was at times unbearable. Yes, literally unbearable! A corner room is normally to be welcomed as they tend to be larger in size, however, as the walls were so thin, there was absolutely no escaping the noise, and it started at 06:00 with 'singing' dustcarts. Honestly, you couldn't make it up! Other smaller issues included guests putting out their wet laundry on the stairwell banisters (who does that? Have they never stayed in a proper hotel before or heard of 'Laundry'?). BWI charging guests 80 php for the privilege of renting (borrowing) a hotel towel? Oh Pleasssse, that's just being mean! As is customary, I write notes whilst at a hotel as this provides for much greater accuracy when actually penning reviews, certainly more than memory alone so, it's worth repeating some large block writing across the booking conformation from Agoda which simply read; Noise - Unbearable. Glad to be leaving. To be fair and balanced, The Blue waters Inn, Coron, is not a bad hotel, it was just not for me, for all of the reasons outlined above. But you however, may feel differently... As always, happy and safe travelling. Phil

Humble hotel in Coron

Reviewed By charlenemieh

Acacia Garden Inn is conveniently located near the main road where the restaurants and shops are. You can take a tricycle which will only cost 10 pesos. If you want to rent a motorcycle there's a rental shop right across the street.The building is clean and it has a really charming terrace. The standard room that we had is small but its totally fine for two persons. It has two single beds, TV w/ cable, hangers, and a bathroom with toiletries. They provide overflowing tea and coffee free for its guests which is a nice touch. Our breakfast is okay and but all the other a la carte dishes we ordered from their restaurant is soooper delicious! They also arranged our private island hopping tour which was hassle-free because they prepared everything for us, we just gave them a list of the islands/beaches we wanted to visit, plus a couple of other requests and then the next day we were good to go. We were so thankful for the boat captain and tour guide that we had. They are simply the best! They were so patient and it wouldn't be as memorable if it weren't for them. The boat captain told us that they always cater to Acacia Garden guests so if you want to do your private tours with them (highly recommended!), I suggest you book a stay here! We would definitely go back here in Coron and stay here at Acacia Garden Inn again!

Villa Khadine Grand Vista Resort

HoneymoonVilla is supposed to be the best already - stay away from this resort!!

Reviewed By SairaMargarita

We stayed in this resort because we wanted to try the “honeymoon villa” for our 1 night stay in coron before leaving for Manila. Reviews said that the regular rooms were awful but the honeymoon villa was the best out of the choices. In the evening one of the staff turned off the “breaker” of our air conditioning unit so we woke up feeling hot and called a staff member for help. They didn’t even know how to use the remote and we fixed the problem ourselves by turning the aircon back on again. The following morning at about 9am we smelled intense burning and smoke entering our villa and someone was burning leaves outside? We asked them to put out the fire when we found out that we could see the fire from outside (photos attached). And lastly, when we checked in the night before Gelo at the front desk coordinated that we had a flight at 12:25pm and said that our van service would be there to pick us up at 10-10:30am to bring us to the airport. At 10:40 there was no one knocking at our villa, we went to the front desk and they told us they had no record of our leaving. They were about to put us on a tricycle at our own account in the sweltering heat for a 1 hour journey to the airport until the daughter of the owner (Khadine the namesake of the hotel) intervened and had us dropped with her personal car and driver for free. All of these inconveniences could have been avoided if this hotel just stepped up their game and they are serious offenses! AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS!

Clean and Budget Friendly

Reviewed By kurapengpeng

We went there last April 2019. We were provided with an air-conditioned room with double deck beds and a private CR. The attendants were attentive and very accommodating. I would recommend it to those who doesn't like where the action is. If you need a quiet place to stay but wanted to still be on a budget, you may stay here. The downside is, since it is far, most probably you will just eat there after island hopping so make sure you browse their menu first hand. There is nothing fancy. Just a typical Filipino meals. Wifi is a little slow but manageable.
