NetherlandsThe staff was very helpful and friendly with everything we wanted to know. Quick to respond via WhatsApp and all around great staff. The room was spacious, very clean and quite silent for the position it has. Still they provide earplugs! Worth the money and a great experience to have stayed there. Free cold water taps near each room. The breakfast at Ver De was delicious and good in portion size too.

MalaysiaWhat I really liked about this stay was the exceptional service from the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. (shout out Remy), and another staff member whose name I unfortunately forgot. They kindly helped treat my leg after I accidentally fell into a hole, which I truly appreciated.
The room itself was very nice, clean, and well equipped with plenty of amenities. I was impressed by the high-quality equipment, such as the Smeg water heater and Dyson hair dryer, as well as the LED mirror. The air conditioning was very cold, making the room extremely comfortable.
The location was also great, just outside the main town, so it was peaceful and away from the noise, yet still convenient. Additionally, the hotel did an excellent job arranging my Tour A activities and assisting with bike rental, which made my stay smooth and hassle-free. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Anat
From
NetherlandsWe had an exceptional stay and genuinely loved every part of the experience.
The location is fantastic - peaceful, scenic, and perfectly positioned by the water. Waking up to a room directly in front of the sea was unforgettable. The beach is beautiful, the pool area is well maintained and inviting, and the entire property feels thoughtfully designed. The diving was a true highlight of our stay. The nearby shipwreck was spectacular, the house reef was vibrant and full of life, and the dive masters were professional, friendly, and made every dive feel safe and enjoyable.
The staff truly made the difference. From the warm welcome upon arrival, with a clear and helpful explanation of everything we needed to know, to the personal touches throughout our stay, the attention to detail was impressive. The team even knew we were heading out for diving the next day and proactively offered to prepare a packed lunch for us. That level of care does not go unnoticed.
The food was excellent, with a good and varied menu that kept every meal interesting and enjoyable.
Overall, a seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely warm experience. We would absolutely return.

My friend and I spent 4 nights at Lagen. The full experience was great from airport pick up (dedicated counter at airport) to the transfer to the island. The property has a great location; the rooms are well kept, the activities, the food, drinks but most of all the staff absolutely the best. One day we went to the big lagoon, we kayaked out way back to the boat, there were a few other boats, it was windy and there was current, somehow our kayak ended up under the proa of the hotel boat and with the waves we were afraid it would hit us in the head, another boat passed by so close and made more waves which made the situation more difficult, our Lagen guide didn’t hesitate to throw himself to the water to help us! we tried to find him later but this was the day before we checked out. Will anyone in the hotel help us find him? my friend and I are avid travelers, I live in UAE where hospitality has a high standard and to me El Nido Lagen is one of the best hotel I’ve stayed in my whole life! loved everyday of my holiday

The most incredible stay - close enough to town but great to not be in the madness of town. The place is so beautifully put together and as it looks. There are only 8 rooms which make it super intimate & quiet and the staff are beyond helpful and lovely. Amazing Spanish food on the menu and a real treat - our favourite stay while in Philippines. Rooms felt luxe with beautiful bathrooms and well appointed. Breakfast each morning on the upper restauaeant area was peaceful and gourmet with much more than your standard continental offering. Yummy coffee and fresh juices. Beautiful outlook over the water and also a more buzzy offering downstairs at the beach club. Also very quiet in the rooms which we loved.

Incredibly beautiful location, incredibly helpful and hard working staff who went out of their way to be polite, courteous and helpful. Amazing food and menu prepared by an obviously hard working & dedicated staff who must work 24.7 to accomodate the needs f the guests, a huge choice and offer of various activities and external sight seeing day trips. A six star resort at a 3-4 star price but with the addition of of always attentive staff who were polite, kind and went out of their way to treat the guests as valued guests. A special shout out to the kitchen staff and chef's who work tirelessly.

The view and location was spectacular. You’ll get the sunrise and sunset view. Plus, if you’re fortunate you can spot a black tip shark (non-aggressive) in some parts of the beach as you snorkel.
Aside from these, the staff were exceptional. They were warm and helpful. Special mention to our lovely tour guides, Anton and Andrew, who took special care to our toddler so we were able to snorkel during the trips.
Overall, it was a lovely experience and you will definitely go back here.

The hotel exceeded our expectations, with lots of complimentary snacks and gifts from the beginning, two beautiful pools, a very classy room, a nice restaurant. We enjoyed our two night stay there, and even had a massage in the hotel spa. There's a nice sunset view from the rooftop bar. The breakfast buffet was good. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and helpful in booking us a transfer to the airport. We overall recommend staying at the Funny Lion in Coron !

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.

Coron was amazing.
Coron was amazing. I wish we spent a few more nights there to do more excursions. For those who love to dive, scuba or snorkel, Coron has many places to go to. Just choose an excursion the suits your needs. I just wish that they would fix their roads and clean up the lagoons. When we went Coron, on a couple of our excursions, we noticed a lot of trash in the water. With so many tourists going there, their government should focus on fixing these things.

PPS is where you land.
PPS is where you land. There are beaches, caves, jungle and firefly tours, diving, cultural exhibits, the Crocodile Farm and other sites within a few miles. Taking the van to El Nido is must once you are on the island. The streets are VERY busy, especially in mornings and evenings, not for timid drivers. It is a developing area, but SM Mall and Robinson Mall are first world. Lots of poor cinder block, rusty rooves, woven thatch construction on the back streets everywhere in Philippines. Lots of oceans, beaches, jungle and mountains but not that many bugs. Friendly locals, good food to be had many places. No "walking street".

The nature is outstanding. The village infrastructure is primitive. Port Barton not worth visit...waste of time...hardcore hippies only. El Nido island hopping is exceptional. Long Beach San Vincente beach and village is underdeveloped with no tourist infrastructure/ nightlife...nothing. Beach empty despite being beautiful. Its the sand flies...brutal/unbearable....all day. I dont particularly like lathering up with bug spray every time I set foot outside. Aerial spraying? Im not sure the solution. For the moneyed up, find a resort and skip the backpacker crowd.

Not much going on in the village. Underground river was average compared to other cave tours around the world. Beach is not as spectacular as elsewhere in Palawan. Sand flies on the beach are bad. Sabang is quite far from everywhere else with a very swervy and poorly maintained road. If you want a bit of a trek - the local waterfall was nice.

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit,...
If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping.
If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home.
Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February.
To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

If you intend to visit Palawan you need to be more informed than I was. The Philippines are a poor country. Accommodation is cheap and as such you get what you paid for - No hot water, some cockroaches, you cannot swim in the water because of the jellyfish, plenty of sandflies and no shop to get any relief medication. There is no way to move around unless you organize transfers that cost you as much as your accommodation. A must see if you would like to see the culture. We were unable to snorkel due to weather
