Hotels Near Kayangan Lake in Coron

1. The hotel is located on the busiest street. But my room was overlooking the courtyard, the pool, so it was quiet. 2. The air conditioner was very noisy, it was hard to sleep. 3. The room was on the fourth floor, there is no elevator in the hotel, in the heat of 35 ° C it is a special pleasure to go up 4. I ordered a honeymoon suite, it does not match what is in the photos. The room is much smaller, about 14m2, tiny balcony. 5. From the hotel you can order all excursions to the islands at the same prices as in the city. 6. The hotel will help you rent a scooter at the same prices as in the city.

It was a nice enough hotel but front desk staff was a bit of a hit and miss - not so friendly on arrival but was nice on some days. Breakfast was great here although the restaurant was way too cold to comfortably dine - but the staff were very nice. Room was perfect - except for the mosquitoes. Recreational room was good here - with pool table, table tennis, computer, sitting area, TV and working space for business. While we were there, the pool turned green and was not very clean. The other thing that was not mentioned/shown anywhere was the view to the sea, a big patch of dirt from hotel to sea. Pool area could do with some shade. It’s in a good location to go to the town for food etc. Tuk Tuk is cheap. But it does have a funny smell / stagnant water type, prob because it was next to a river of some sort.

Stayed at Bacau with friends for 2 nights. Breakfast is relatively good. The wharf is a great place for drinks in late afternoon.

The funny lion is one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The service was great I couldn’t ask for anything more. They were very accommodating and helpful. The staff made us feel welcome every step of the way. The rooftop bar w jacuzzi was perfect to start or end your day w the sprawling view of the lake and the mountains. One of the best trips I’ve ever had. This hotel is not pretentious. The breakfast was great with good variety of foods.

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!

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 !

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.

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.
