Coron

The Pearl of Palawan

Coron is an enchanting paradise located in the province of Palawan. This city overflows with picturesque islands, gorgeous beaches, tropical lagoons, majestic jungles and much more! If you love the ocean and all its inhabitants, this magical place is just for you. In recent years, it has become a super popular tourist destination because it brings together a variety of breathtaking attractions in one place, such as the opportunity to dive among World War II era ruins, limestone karst landscapes that seem out of this world, crystal clear freshwater lakes and shallow coral reefs perfect for snorkeling and much more. On your first visit, you may be a little confused as to what exactly Coron is, because the name has been used for several things: On the one hand, Coron is the whole area, which is a group of islands, the largest of which is called Busuanga, and the there is also a town called Coron (Coron Proper Town), on the outskirts of which we will also sleep. There is also an island called Coron, which is uninhabited, but it and the neighboring smaller islands are some of the most interesting sights we will visit. We will have 4 nights in the town of Coron, from where every day we will go on an exciting adventure and explore the whole area of Coron.

Hotel Venus Royal Coron 4*

We can offer different hotels according to your budget for Coron. Here's a sample one we use for our groups.

Hotel Venus Royal Coron 4*, opens in August 2023. The hotel is located on the outskirts of the town of Coron with views of the mountains and vegetation. The hotel is not on the beach, because here all the nice beaches are reached by boat, so we bet on exciting excursions to beautiful islands every day, and in the evening, when we get home, we will be able to cool off at the hotel pool. The rooms are wide, spacious and modernly furnished, each with a balcony and equipped with a mini bar, coffee machines and a safe.

El Nido

A piece of heaven fell to earth

El Nido is the other pearl of Palawan - this area of the Philippines is like a torn piece of paradise that fell to earth because it has gathered so much beauty and breathtaking sights. The nature resembles Coron with its sharp limestone cliffs towering above the crystal turquoise waters, but it has its own atmosphere. El Nido is a small town on the northern tip of the island of Palawan (which is the largest in the province and hence the province's name), nestled between the mountains and has become a tourist hot spot because of its amazing scenery. The beaches here aren't bad, but as in Coron, the best spots are scattered across the smaller 45 surrounding islands that are uninhabited. Here again we have 4 nights, which will be filled with many adventures and walking around incredibly beautiful places. We have 3 full-day island hopping tours included, so we've looked to include everything of interest.

Hotel Isla Amara 3*

For El Nido, there are 3 locations we would recommend for you to stay. The first of these is the town of El Nido itself, which offers the most budget-friendly options and has more of a backpacker vibe, so if you want to meet other people and go out more in the evenings, this is the place we'd recommend. . Another huge advantage is that all the excursions leave from here, so it is the most convenient location if you want to go on excursions every day. The bad thing is that because of the hundreds of boats that dock and leave every day for the excursions - the beach here is not among the best that El Nido has to offer.

The second location is the complex around Lio airport, which is 10-15 minutes away by tuk tuk to El Nido. It consists of 3 premium hotels (3,4 and 5 stars) located on the beach, about 10 cool beach restaurants and bars and has an amazing atmosphere, a nice beach and in our opinion offers the best of everything. It offers a much more secluded and luxurious experience and at the same time is quite close to El Nido town and convenient for excursions and walking to the town. And if you happen to be bothered by the fact that it is next to the airport and it will be noisy - don't worry at all - the airport is very small, there are only a few flights a day, so it will be more of an attraction to see the planes landing so close to you on the beach .

The last location we also recommend is Nakpan Beach and the hotels around it. The plus here is that it is the best beach and if you don't want to go on excursions, but to spend your time leisurely on the beach in front of the hotel - then this is the location for you. The downside is that it is 1 hour away from El Nido, which makes it quite difficult to get involved in excursions. Of course, some hotels offer options to make some of the excursions leaving directly from this beach and visit the most interesting places of El Nido - but they are much more expensive.

Here we present our pick for groups - a great eco-resort located in the Lio Airport area next to the beach in a quiet and peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido. So you will be able to indulge in well-deserved rest and tranquility with a beach almost exclusively at your disposal. There are also many restaurants and bars on the beach, and if you wish, you can also walk to the town of El Nido, which is 10 minutes away by tricycle. Like Coron, here we won't have much time left at the hotel, because we have prepared a very interesting program for you and we will go around the neighboring islands. The hotel has a nice restaurant and the rooms are spacious and modern.
