Coron [Thread 10]

[hun_nie08]

Yehey! Last Saturdau I've booked my friends for Coron this coming November. Hindi man ako ang makakapunta this year since I'm pregnant... At least I have someone to share ang ganda ng Coron! Ako na lang mag aayos ng accomodation nila.

Glad to see this thread moving again since i had a few unanswered posts here. Anyway we booked a package in club paradise and true to it's name maganda talaga ang place. You wouldn't feel the presence of other guests so parang we had the island all to ourselves. We took the fullboard package which as stated should be a buffet. However be aware that when there are few guests they dont serve the food buffet style. What they do is give you a menu instead and pili ka nlng ng food dun but you can ask as many refill as you can.
As mentioned here, or maybe in other forum bring plenty of 100 bill to tip the servers, serenaders and housekeeping. With their warmth accommodation  it's hard not to recognize it.

The only downside to the place is the accessibility.. Im used to traveling in bumpy roads but this one sobrang lubak talaga maybe because of the continuous rain. The trip was about 40 min plus another 20-30 min boat ride..

We moved to Corto del mar after 3 days so we can tour the lakes and snorkeling sites. Mahal kasi pag sa Club paradise mo inavail.

We asked corto for a private/customize tour since we have a 2yr old kid and baka maka istorbo kami ng ibang guests. They quoted
As 2k without the food and entrance fee and we have the freedom to choose the destinations. Im not sure kung mahal ba siya but kakapagod na to ask around.

Between Apartelle de Gabrielle and Mommita's Lodge, which one's better?

Heading to Coron this 26th already.

Also, are there places where we can rent underwater camera/go pro. El Nido has cameras for rent kasi when I visited last May. How about Coron? Thanks sisters! 

[hun_nie08]

I think APartelle de Gabrielle, mas malapit sya sa town. Paverify yung Mommita's lodge. YEs, may mga under water camera for rent dun. Kaso for sure mahal.

Hi sis! Me and my college friends went to Coron last March 2012 and we only spent around 10K each all-in including plane tickets. We stayed there for 3D2N and our package already included 2 days island hopping (first day was nearby spots like Kayangan Lake, Siete Pecados, etc then 2nd day was Malcapuya-Banana Island).

Enjoy your Coron trip!!

Wow talaga sis? Prang bet ko mag-coron bago ako magclerkship sa ospital. Yung mga kinain niya kasama na dito? Nakapag food trip din ba kayo?

[kitten^]

Hi all

To those who availed packages from Corongaleri, hindi ba sobrang nakakapagod yung tour packages nila? Especially yung 4D/3N tour packages nila, parang nakakapagod sya sa dami ng pupuntahan

Thanks much! 

[jasta01]

literal na nakakapagod pero mawawala pagod mo once na matapos nyo lahat ng mga activities nila
magsasawa ka sa snorkeling hehe..

[kitten^]

^thanks for that sis. Sawang sawa na nga ako sa snorkeling hahahaha..

Ginawa ko nag avail nalang ako ng separate pacakage. 11k/pax for 2. Yun nga lang private tour sya. Meaning 2 lang ata talaga kami sa tour

[hun_nie08]

parang ang mahal sis ng 11k per person? Anong inclusion?

[jasta01]

Wow! Ang yaman mo te'
11k for 2 means 5.5k/head
100% sure na kakalog kalog kayo sa bangka nyan hahaha.. i remember nung papunta kami malcapuya nag pinoy henyo at sharades(tama ba spelling?) pa kami sa laki ng boat nmin..

Hay! i miss Coron tuloy -_-

[hun_nie08]

Hahaha.... baka nga ganun siguro yun sis.. Kung 5.5k/person e ok na nga yun. Including coron town-Maquinit, loop tour and Malcapuya plus snacks and meals.

Actually napansin ko din nga yun e, hindi din maganda minsan yung konti lang sa boat kasi masyadong maalog hahaha.... Lalo na pag Malcapuya...

Yung inclusions sa 11,600php na qouted ng Corongaleri per person (2pax) based sa email nila sakin:

- 4D3N Accommodation at Sunz En Coron
Daily Breakfast
Welcome Drinks
Roundtrip Airport Transfers
Van Transfers(hotel pick up and drop off transfers)
- Explore Coron Town Tour with snacks
- Reef and Wrecks Marine Tour with Picnic Lunch and snacks
- Expedition Island Escapade with Picnic Lunch and snacks
- All Entrance Fees
- Use of Mask and Snorkel
- Licensed Boat with lifevest and first aid kit
- Services of Tourguide
- Government Taxes

11,600php per person. 2pax. Ako namili ng pupuntahan kasi ayoko nung nakalagay sa tour package nila for 4d/3n.

Sabi naman sakin pwede kami mag join sa ibang group para mas mura. Nung chineck ko yung site nila, yung group tours nila, walang van transfers and sa office nila yung meeting place nila ng 8am? Tama po ba?

[jasta01]

nice deal kaya pala ganun price kasi includes accomodation na..
enjoy!

[hun_nie08]

Hmmm.. Mejo mahal pa rin... Anyway - afford nyo naman e.. Go!

Wala yung Maquinit hot spring sa itinerary nyo?

yung van transfer is 150/way per person. Usually madami din kayo sa van  - minsan nga punuan pa e. Parang mga shuttle van lang dito sa Manila. Guests from other hotels yung mga kasama nyo din.

Malayo yung Sun ez Coron sa town mismo.. May ilang minutes na travel time if you want to dine in the Coron town restos.

[kitten^]

^ meron sya sis sa first day namin

Mga gaano kalayo yung travel time sa town from our resort? Sobrang tagal/layo ba talaga?

[margauxkhloe]

Nalala ko yung Maquinit Hot Spring. Grabe. Di ko kinaya yung init niya nung una. As in napapaso ako. Hahaha! Pero nung tumagal tagal na tinitiis tiis iko. Hanggang sa kinya ko na. lol

[hun_nie08]

Sis kitten^  Sabi ni ate Rina mga 10-15minutes daw...

Agree! nakakarelax yun.. no babad nga lang ng buhok hehe! Last na punta pa naman namin umaambon so super sarap!
