Coron [Thread 9]

[princess_karryl]

were here in coron right now. we are supposed to fly back to cebu at 12pm but our flight was cancelled so we have to stay until saturday

[ishopnowfeelguiltylater]

buti nakauwi kami kahapon kahit delayed ng almost two hours flight namin.

eto details ng trip namin:
day 1
mt tapyas - nilakad lang namin mula coron eco-lodge
dinner - lolo nonoy's - masarap, mura

day 2
corong galeri group tour (b-1) 650/pax plus 100/snorkel set
PM snacks - picka picka and shakes kaharap ng oriental lodging house, grabe sarap
dinner - bistro coron - mahal pero masarap at madami serving
coronzy pinuntahan din namin, sarap sana tumambay dun kaso may maingay na grupong sumunod samin so alis na kami. hehe

day 3
corong galeri group tour (c) 950/pax plus 100/snorkel set
dinner - seadive restaurant, ok presyo (P395, lobster meal na yun!)

day 4
coron harvest - tricy: P20 (pero sabi nila P8 lang per pax ang fare) P100-P175 ang price range ng cashewnut products.
lunch - manneken pis - di ko masyadong nagustuhan food nila.

coron ecolodge - SUPER OK! P1598 per night, ang bait ng staff at ang sarap tumambay sa lobby nila for cold coke and beer. lakas ng wifi.

coron as a destination is super ok, prepared sila sa turista. napakaorganized. kahit wala kaming naplano in advance, di namin nafeel na may nanamantala. gusto ko yung airport to town proper transport system. yun nga lang madalas ang brownout.

[matetreyes]

will be in Coron tomorrow. good luck naman sa flight at sa waves! sana ok na ang panahon bukas. we'll stay at Two Seasons for an official business

[meimei]

[ishopnowfeelguiltylater]

Malcapuya yun sis. With option to go to banana island

[IronLady]

weeee! nakapagbook na ko finally dito.. sa July 18-21 kami mga sis! ngayon lang nakapagbook dahil sa pagkukuripot! lol! kaso parang di na talaga sya bababa.. hayys.. yung nabili naming ticket costs us 2,100.. mahal pa rin ba yun? hehe! kung hindi ko kinuha ang insurance napamura pa sana yan.. haha!

hindi ba maulan sa coron kapag july? sana naman.. bi-nook ko na para makapunta na kami kasi parang habang tumatagal nagmamahal at paunti ng paunti yung pwedeng puntahan na islands diba? ang chaka nga lang ng sked namin.. 4 days nga pero yung 1st day eh 3pm ang alis.. may magagawa pa kaya kami nun? im also surprised when i saw sa ticket na 1 hr lang yung byahe..

tips naman mga sis kung pano makakamura kasi i heard mahal daw kapag 2 lang kayo..

[hun_nie08]

i'm planning my first trip to palawan next year and i'm confused whether to go to puerto princesa or coron? how far or how many hours would it take to travel from one to the other? is it possible in one trip? so far the must sees in pp are honda bay and  underground river. how about coron? 

[runbarbierun]

^ Kung ako sis, I'll go for Coron. Mas na-enjoy ko siya kesa sa PP. Mas madaming makikita/magagawa sa Coron

[MGM13]

Naku warning lang mga sis. I had a very bad experience booking at eco lodge. Ang gulo kausap nung maricel. Nag book na kami and we deposited our payment and confirmation voucher was sent to us that same day. After 3 days tinawagan ako and sabi di na kami ma-acommodate dahil may naka book din daw the same date namin. Nilipat kami ng ibang hotel dahil mas priority daw yun dahil big group. Sobrang nakakainis. Imagine bayad na kami tapos ginanun pa kami. As consequence, nilipat kami sa mas mahal na hotel at aabunohan nila. Napaka irresponsible nung maricel. Wag kayong makikipag usap dun. Warning lang. Kung nagkataon na fully booked na lahat ng hotel saan kaya kami pupulutin? Buti na lang di pa masyado puno lahat ng hotel kasi dec pa naman ang trip namin to coron.

Choose Coron over PP. Di mo sila pwede ma tour pareho ng isang lakaran lang kasi dulo sa dulo ng Palawan yun eh. Sa Honda Bay puro island hopping lang yun, sa Coron ang dami mo mapupuntahan at iba ibang klase pa. may ship wreck pa. wala ganun sa Honda Bay. Mas okay pa underwater life sa Coron.

hmmm...bakit optional lang yung ibang island sa coron loop tour? or pwede mix yung option 1 and 2? Also, private tour ba yan or group? if private okay na yan, considering mahal papunta calauit.

[hun_nie08]

huit mahal nga yan.. sinabi na sakin yan ng friend ko and I advise them na mag coron wonders na lang... kasi option1 and 2 yung binibigay nila... sabi yan daw ang uso ngaun hinihiwalay which is mas mapapamahl ka e kaya naman yan lahat ng one day lang...

rushfam try different tours sis

[rushfam]

@huit and hun_nie08 I think nagkamali ng post yung Coron Ecolodge. Caluit is supposed to be Banana, Malcapuya & Bulog Island. Joiners yata yan. Yun ang sabi sakin sa text. I want to stay at Coron Ecolodge sana kasi mukhang maganda yung place. I'm also eying the Island View Inn but I dont know their rates pa. Are you guys familiar with Island View Inn? Saan ba maganda mag avail ng tour? Kasi I'm researching & backreading pa medyo nalilito ako kasi 2 lang kami ni hubby. Thanks!

[hun_nie08]

^ eto din yung same tour na pinakita sakin ng friend ko galing sa ecolodge..
eto yung siansabi ko na pwedeng isang araw

Option 1: (Siete Pecados, Banol Beach, CYC Beach, Smith Coral Garden Reef, Skeleton Wreck and Twin Lagoon)
Option 2 : (Kayangan Lake, Twin Peaks, Atwayan Beach (Lunch), Sunset Lagoon/Secret Cave, CYC Coral Reefs, Balinsasayaw Reef)


sa coron, ang famous tourist post nila is the kayangan lake pero yung option 1 naman is para sa snorkeling.. kaya di pwedeng isa lang pipiliin mo dun... kaya yung friend ko 2 lang sila.. dun na sila sa coron wonders kumuha... sabi ko sabihin lang nila name ko... kasi sinabihan ko si ate rina na irerefer ko sya sa mga friends ko.. at least alam nila na refered ko kayo.. pero sa coron ecoldoge sila nagstay last oct 3-7..

may isa din akong friend na sa coron wonder kumuha kakabalik lang nila nung sat dito sa manila...

island view is maganda din naman...  kami kasi sa r2r kami nag stay nun e... and di na ako babalik dun haha.. though ok naman din sila... usual review lang is di pa ready yung room pagdating nyo...so may waiting time pa...

[rushfam]

^ may website ba sila or any contact number? Kailangan ko ba magpa reserve prior to our trip o pwedeng pagdating na dun saka kami mag avail sa coron wonders? We are planning kasi na mag Coron Town Tour (Town Plaza, Lualhati Park, Local Souvenir Shops,Local Cashew Factory, St. Augustine Church, Maquinit Hot spring, Mt. Tapyas View Deck) on Day 1. Ang dating naman namin dun is 11AM so we still have time to look for tour agencies since nakalagay naman sa itinerary ng Coron Ecolodge ay mag start ang Coron Town Tour ng 4PM. Thanks!
