Hotels Near Pass Island Beach in Busuanga

Wonderful dive resort with excellent staff, but has some important changes to make. We visited this resort in February 2023. We had a great stay with the staff and the accommodation and the diving. The resident, in-house dive instructor is incredibly helpful and has a knowledge about the wrecks and the resort, that is very rare to find. Their Divemaster was also really good. The kitchen staff prepare the best food. A great team. The Danish owner, Per, is also a great guy... If you catch him before 10 in the morning. After that, he starts drinking a strong local beer called 'Red Horse' and his mood quickly changes to paranoid and aggressive. He lets everyone know that he 'doesn't trust anyone'. Even his own family 😢 But the next morning, he forgets everything he has said and expects everyone else to! We noticed that most of his staff disappear between lunchtime and the evening, probably to avoid his increasing paranoia and bad mood. When he is drunk, he has absolutely ZERO management skills and instead shouts at his most loyal staff. He screams at them, in front of guests, calls them 'stupid ******' and it's unbelievable that anyone stays with him. We even saw him throw a dive mask at the dive instructor because the strap was broken! We would love to go back to Chindonan Dive Resort if he either isn't there or he changes his behavior. All of the guests there at the same time as us, talked about his bad attitude. Everyone said they will not go back if he is there. He will eventually destroy his business if he continues drinking all day and bullying his staff. The best people that work for him, will certainly leave him one day if he doesn't change. But even when that happens, he will probably not understand why and still blame everyone except himself. It's a great resort but it has a questionable future with an owner who tells anyone who will listen, that he is 'the boss'. He openly tells his staff 'you are here to serve me''. The staff there seem so afraid of making a mistake that they do nothing, because he lets everyone know that 'I do everything alone'. 'I have no support ' and 'I am alone'. He gets upset when staff do not do what he wants them to do but when they do anything at all, he complains that it isn't good enough! He doesn't know how to manage people except for shouting at them. Very sad to see. A beautiful resort, wonderful people but an owner that is risking everything by behaving so badly.

I rushed to the dive shop in town in the morning, but I learned that there was a typhoon and the coast guard refused to allow me to go to the wreck. They suggested that I go to this resort. This resort is right next to the wreck dive site and I can dive at any time, so I made a temporary reservation. of the order. The resort includes pick-up and drop-off. There is an office at the three-way intersection in the center of the town. The bus leaves at ten o'clock. I originally went for diving and didn't expect much from the hotel. Unexpectedly, the hotel was an unexpected surprise. The reception staff on the island were very enthusiastic. They were all smiling from the moment we picked people up from the pier. The scene was very much like being in Madai. One island and one hotel, the environment is very good, the architectural style is a bit like Six Senses, but for me the one drawback is that the room does not have air conditioning, although it is not very hot. The hotel provides three meals a day, but the catering is relatively simple, probably because there are not many guests and it is not a buffet. Each meal has three dishes, a salad, a main dish, and a seasonal vegetable. The taste is basically good. Dinner and dessert included ice cream. The owner and management of the resort are also very friendly. We drank and chatted at the rock bar and had dinner together. Finally, the important point is that I came here to dive, and I can say that this diving resort is definitely the best without even comparing it to Cologne Wreck Diving. Due to its unique geographical location, all dive shops in the town have to take more than an hour to get there by boat, and every person who dives can only hang out on the boat waiting for the next dive. Living here is different. The dive sites are all around the resort. You come back to rest after every dive. It feels like a PG. It is very comfortable and is especially friendly to people with seasickness. The dive guide Josh is a funny big boy. I also want to thank his father Ronaldo from Neptune Dive for recommending such a good diving resort to me.

If you're looking for a great Coron Palawan hostel experience, you've come to the right place. This hostel offers comfortable and clean accommodations with a friendly staff always willing to help. Shout out to Ellen for being so welcoming. The rooms are well-equipped with air conditioning, and comfortable beds. I love the blanket so much, I wanted to take it home with me. The hostel also offers a variety of nighttime activities such as the alcohol Olympics, and The Treasure hunt and they also provide assistance in booking island tours and diving activities. The common areas are spacious and inviting, making it easy to socialize with other guests. The location is also great, close to many attractions and activities. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel for an enjoyable stay in Coron Palawan.

The environment is nice, quiet and comfortable. Arranging various activities is still in place. The meals are average. In addition to the breakfast, the first waffle package is included in the breakfast. The difference must be made (not good) because with the two children on the last day, the hotel arranges a chartered car. The island hopping driver delivered to the town's pier then took the luggage to the next scheduled hotel to pick us up at the pier in the afternoon. The price was not cheap. In order to worry about accepting it, who knows that I can't wait for the driver to go ashore in the afternoon. tt bar (lost professional ethics) advise friends who book this hotel to bring enough needed items in the past the nearest village supermarket is one kilometer away (it is also good to feel the life of the locals)

We arrived and they announced us they were overbooked, so they proposed us to transfer to their hotel in front for one night, saying it was « already an upgrade » and then retransfer to this hotel. Meaning unpacking, packing again, checking in And out twice Which is inconvenient as I am pregnant, after arguing a bit we managed to get breakfast one day only tho for compensation. Arrived at the breakfast at 9:45, it was already quite empty, we had to ask for refilling. It is clearly not worthy 355php per person, I wouldn’t recommend to get the breakfast here, one of the worst breakfast buffet we had. Dinner was also bad, cold few fries for 180php, as an example. Pricey, not yummy I would advice to take a tricycle and go downtown - your bill will be probably same for better quality food. When transferred to the final room, there was dust on the floor. Very poor internet connexion and Globe network which unable to use datas. AC was very noisy in both rooms. On a positivé note, Room is tho decent and pool is nice, I would come back for the room. We had to go to ER and missed our shuttle to the airport, they kindly took us there by car, which was a great thing and saved us in a way !

This resort considered as executive village. Family friendly place. They have multiple large swimming pool with wall shower around the pool area. Pool is cleaned daily. Area is sanitized n the morning. Love the landscaping that shadowed the pool area and bar. Breakfast served daily with multiple breakfast selections thats included on our stay. Room is spacious and the one I stayed have balcony (not sure if all rooms have one). Staffs are friendly and courteous. Rides (Tricycles) are available whenever requested at the front desk. Have a small workout area with very limited equipment’s to use. This resort is about 30-45 mins to Busuanga Airport and about 10 mins to town proper. Overall, great place to stay at Coron, Palawan.

My boyfriend and I stayed in this resort last March 2023, and we were very satisfied during our stay. After booking one of their deluxe room for two nights only, I've decided to book one night extension just so we could experience one of their premium rooms also. It was his first time flying to Coron because I've been here ever since for work purposes. Upon check-in, I was informed that we were upgraded to their premium room and that made us both so happy! I didn't ask for it, but they were so kind to give us the upgrade. The room was super nice and spacious. I loved the view of the sunset from our balcony! They even granted one of my request to put a slice of chocolate cake in the room because my boyfriend didn't get the chance to celebrate his birthday a few months ago. Staff were busy in the morning. Housekeeping also cleaned our room well and refilled everything from bottled water to bathroom amenities and towels. The location was convenient for us as it's along the main road, and we got ourselves a car rental during our stay so we can go out and come back anytime we want. Their swimming pool is huge! I don't know, but it felt huge because we were running and swimming from one pool to another like kids during our second night at the resort :D. What caught my boyfriend's attention was the Cockatoo by the entrance. We'd always stop by to say hello to the little fella. Overall it was a nice experience for us. See you next time!

Excellent experience to relax and disconnect. The place is a piece of paradise. The only point which is not mentioned in the booking is that there is an additional charge of 1.700 pesos road trip from airport to the hotel per person, very expensive for the local pricings

Pros and cons. The island was great, we loved our stay at the cottage. But the service was not so good. Pros: - The island was great. Major plus points for the house reef and grass bed that attracts fish and sea turtles. There were birds and the monitor lizards on the island! - The view from our sunrise cottage was great. The rooms were clean and the toiletries complete. - Transport to and from the island went smoothly. - Massage was great! Cons: - We arrived at around 1pm (official check in time is 3pm). The staff told us they would call us when our room was ready. Many groups of arrivals were steadily being escorted to their rooms but not us. At 230pm I went back to the reception and was told our rooms had been ready earlier! But NO ONE let us know. At this point, they gave me the key card but no one made a move to escort us to our rooms and I had to ask if they could give us our luggage so we can go the room already before the receptionist accompanied us. - There is no comfortable place to wait or change clothes while waiting for your room. Basically people are sitting on the pool loungers in their pants/shoes from the airplane. - We signed up for the hike, we were told some one would text us to confirm time and meeting place, NO ONE called. - Basically, any time they tell you they'll call you, NO ONE did. I had to call multiple times and actually go the reception to get any response. - The restaurant was not full yet it was very hard to get the attention of any server. The food also took 30-40 minutes to serve. Kudos to the one lady server who served our lunch everyday for 3 days, she was the only one who helped us. - Used plates/utensils were left on the restaurant tables for a long time. We sat down as the neighboring party left and we were already done, their plates were still sitting on the table (being snacked on by the birds). This happened every meal (and we're slow eaters, at least 45 minutes). - Towels and plates/cups by the pool loungers also not cleared for hours. - Breakfast and dinner buffet were just okay. Nothing to write home about.
