^IMO, kulang na ang time sis. may 30 mins travel pa kayo from airport to town. mg mt. tapyas or maquinit hotspring na lang kayo kung ayaw nyo maglakad-lakad sa town.

siyempre biased ako sa islands view inn dahil jan ako nagstay. since siya ang closest sa port among sa mga sinabi mo, tipid ka na sa tricycle and sa time. then, new hotel pa lang therefore bago pa ang rooms and mga gamit sa loob :) look at the pictures na lang..

i know, maganda rin sa sunz en coron. if you're not into the cheaper ones, why not. :)

thanks sis! mukha ngang mag mt tapyas na lang kami at maquinit hotspring para hindi na rin kami magagahol sa oras. :D

We're going to Coron April 26-29. We're 30 persons (7families) in the group and the problem is wala pa kaming accomodations until now. Hm. San kaya magandang pagstay'an na kaya kaming maccomodate lahat? We're planning kasi na 2 nights sa town, then 2 nights sa resort(beachfront). Ok kaya yun? Anong resort ba (beachfront) ang affordable naman sa coron? TIY. :)

sis sublime1 thats ur biggest problem, dami din akong guest that day, im sure fullybooked ang mt.tapyas, princess of coron, darayonan, coron village lodge, centro coron, apartelled de gabrielle, sunz en coron, island view inn, coron reef pension house

i dont think magkakasya kayo sa isang resort lang, and sobrang mahihirapan kayo promise sana ang inunana nyo ayusin is ur hotel mahirap maghanap now. konti lang hotel and apartelle here in coron.

^ pwede namang unahin yun sis basta inform nyo yung bangkero agad sa plan nyo para maraming gasolina yung ilalagay nila sa boat kasi mas malayo yun eh.

pag coron loop sis nasa 1500-1800 pag banana/malcapuya usually nasa 4,500 ata eh. what I wrote about kasi is yung total na with the rentals etc. maybe you would like to take a look at what I wrote for reference :)

Hi! sis Sublime, maganda yung view sa Shirlbay Pension. Nakapag stay kami dun for 3 nights. Kitang kita mo dun yung mountains and the sea. Pero may nakita ako sa Groupon website na may naka-discount na hotel sa coron and that's Coron HillTop. I hope that helps :). I really enjoyed the view on Kayangan Lake. I miss coron.

Sis sa Corongaleri rin kami last year. Yup ganun rin yung sabi nila dati na magpa-book mismo sa kanila pag once you arrived sa coron. Pumunta kami kagad doon when we arrived in Coron, kami lang ni BF ang magkasama then nag join in kami sa 2 male swiss foreigners, 1 female Israeli at 1 couple rin. All in all 7 kami sa boat. The boatmen are so accomodating at kwela. Nakakatuwa dahil cool yung mga foreigners ;D .

experience kase namin last time pinagpalit palit namin yung islands sa tour, hindi sya fixed sa package.. ewan ko lang kung laging ganun. pero madali sila kausap, sarap ng food, saka maganda din ang advocacy nila :) wala nga dp, text mo lang sila for reservation. mukang di naman prob ang boat kase mukang may mga contact lang sila di katulad nung iba na sila na din may ari ng mga boats. nag-aarrange lang sila ng tours (correct me if im wrong) pero kung icocompare mo yung ibang tours mas mahal kesa dito sa coron galeri saka pag diy naman magbabayad ka pa ng entrance fees saka lunch, yung total nun kakalabasan mas mahal pa.

isa pa pala, yung naging tour guide namin nakakatuwa tinuruan yung mga kasama ko na magswim.. pagkatapos namin magcoron marurunong na lumangoy.. sya din taga picture namin sa ilalim ng tubig. hehe! :)

Sis hakunamatata, I'm not sure kung mas mura pero yung sa corongaleri ang recommended sa amin ng Dr. na friend namin sa Culion area. That time kasi dalawa lang kami, i think mas less hassle then mas nakatipid kami nung nag join in kami sa ibang tourist ;) .

Sa Corongaleri Tour B-1 at Tour C kinuha namin. Sa tour B-1 super nag enjoy kami dahil ang ganda ng kayangan lake at twin lagoons, everything  :P .

Then sa tour C maganda rin yung Malcapuya kaso i think mas maeenjoy ninyo pag Tour B-2 kesa sa Malcapuya. More on relax mode kasi sa Malcapuya Island sis.
