The welcome by the staff upon alighting the boat was incredibly warm and immediately helped us relax. The beach was beautiful, the layout of the resort was well planned and the overall atmosphere was one of peace. We loved the movie nights by the pool and the various games available to play across the lounges and outdoor areas. Special mention of the coron tour which was a highlight of our trip. Tour guide Adrin did a remarkable job and we were really pleased. I really liked the feeling that the resort is a part of the community, with the staff being local, and the various strategies the resort has to repay the environment and local communities. Especially, we loved being so close to nature. There were many animal visitors during our stay from large lizards, night herons and the famous fruit bats, not to mention we saw parrot fish and turtles during our snorkeling by the hotel beach. I even heard there were sometimes dugongs

Loved most

  • Warm, local and welcoming staff
  • Beautiful beach and exceptional snorkeling
  • Spacious ocean-view rooms (in many categories)
  • Relaxing, peaceful atmosphere and close to nature
  • Movie nights, games and other on-site activities
  • Highlight tours (Coron tour) with excellent guides

Worth knowing — Housekeeping intrusion during illness · Shower ventilation issues and mold in grout · Terrace chairs left untidy after storm · Cocktails poor quality relative to price · Extra charges for coffee pods and many items · Staff need better formal training (menu knowledge)

    Overall very positive: relaxing, romantic and memorable stays, standout tours and snorkeling; a few operational and value issues tempered an otherwise excellent experience.

  • A Memorable Island Getaway

    “We absolutely loved our stay at Discovery Coron. It was the perfect start to our Philippines vacation. We stayed in a Sunset Deluxe Villa with breathtaking views, and with the resort being pleasantly quiet in June, it often felt like we had the beach to ourselves. The wildlife made our stay especially memorable. We saw fruit bats, monitor lizards, and incredible sunsets every evening. Snorkeling right off the beach was outstanding, and hiking to Eagle's Point offered beautiful views. One night, we even experienced an amazing lightning storm that lit up the entire sky. The thoughtful touches, including local treats delivered each evening, towel animal creations, and relaxing spa massages, made our stay even more special. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout. Our villa was more rustic than luxurious, but the stunning natural setting, views, and peaceful atmosphere more than made up for it. Discovery Coron is ideal for relaxing, snorkeling, diving, and enjoying nature. We would gladly return.”

  • Secluded but amazing! Wonderful service. A great place if you do not want to do anything but relax!

    “Breakfast was complimentary every day. I love how you can walk out of your room onto the beach and can snorkel right there. The staff here are truly amazing and kind - one of the best reasons to come to the Philippines! My sons went snorkeling and one of the workers volunteered to show them sea life and took pictures. The bartenders and waiters are so attentive it's wonderful.”

  • Последние виллы сансет на пляже находится на совсем плохом берегу. Мне кажется в самые хорошие виллы селят филиппинцев.

  • Ottimo ma la colazione va migliorata.

    “Perfect hotel situated on a perfect island. Our room was everything we waited for and then some more. The beach is great and you can just hang there for hours relaxing, snorkeling, paddling and so on. This was by far the best hotel of our honey moon. The only bad part is that we didn't book for more days (only 04), as this place definitely deserves at least a hole week to be honest. Looking forward to coming back soon.”
