^Sis, musta rates sa travelmart? malaking difference ba compared sa regular prices ng tours sa coron?

[princess27]

Hi sisses!

My family and I just went to Coron this August, and we had an amazing time! We used a travel voucher for 3d2n and then did an extra day for a private tour.

If anybody would be interested, may 2 extra akong vouchers na supposedly gagamitin ng 2 kong relatives but nagkaproblem and kanilang flight going to Philippines. Anyways, this voucher includes hotel and island hopping on the 2nd day. I bought it for 3200 in metrodeal, but I can sell it for 3k, mabalik man lang kahit konti ang nagastos ko. PM me if you'd be interested.

Thanks a lot girls!

^ how much po kuha nyo dun sa Calauit tour?

[swtgrl_bee]

Sisses, ingat kayo sa pagkain sa Coron ah? Yung Mom ko until now nanghihina kasi na food poison yung group nila last week.

Hello!

Thanks

[schizo_me]

^sa Toby's sis meron

[ficklemind]

^^ check mo yung tactics water gear, sa fb page nila nakalagay list of stores, madami naman and mostly nasa malls. Meron din sa Lazada at Zalora.  I received one as a gift last Christmas though hinde ko pa personally nagamit, pinahiram ko kay MIL during her trip to Coron last Summer, ok naman daw.

What I've been using for the last 3 years ay Safebet (not sure if available to dito sa Pinas), matibay naman, serves the purpose.  wala pang sira kahit nakailang gamit ko na.

[audioscience]

^ i bought mine from sandugo, years and years ago pa. manipis sya, pero so far okay pa rin naman

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis avitot, Lazada diyan kami bumili.

Hi mga sis! THis is a bit delayed but will share with you our Group tour sa Coron last May 11-14.

Day 1 - flight from Manila to Busuanga via Skyjet. 1st time namin with this airline and we surprised my pa-mamon at water pala si mayor! hi hi hi!  It also includes 10 KG check in luggage.
We arrived in Busuanga on time and were fetched by our hotel. Standard ang singil nila buong Coron , 150/head/way. 300 RTT Van/2 way.
We checked in at One Averee Bay hotel. Quite new hotel. Recommended for a quiet stay na medyo affordable. Average rooms with buffet breakfast 2600/night. (peak season). All floors have water dispenser so no problem sa water. YUng breakfast, everyday iba iba ang food so as typical na pinoy, satisfied naman kami sa choices. We had miswa with patola, fried longganisa, may tuyo, may danggit, may hotdog, adobo, beef tapa, eggs were cooked according to your preference, may butter, strawberry jam, pancakes, different fruits din like banana, papaya, watermelon. coffee, juice and milk meron din. kaya super sulit ang stay. one downside lang is walang elevator.
Very Accommodating yung concierge staff na si Fiona.

We had coron town tour in the afternoon. it includes :
Lualhati Park , Town Plaza,,Local Cashew Factory
St. Augustine Church, Hike  Mt Tapyas View Deck, and lastly a relaxing stay sa Maquinit Hot spring. we got our tour for 550 pesos. all in.

we had our dinner sa Island Grill. may live band kaya entertaining, and recommended siya ng mga locals.

Day 2 - JY Travel and Tours din. 
we had Coron Ultimate tour (1400)
Siete Pecados, Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, Lunch at Sunset beach, CYC beach. food was average. 
we had our dinner sa LOLO Nonoy's. Recommended din sa blogs. Medyo matagal ang serving. SUper sarap ng mango shake.

Day 3 - JY TRavel and tours. (1,100)
Island Escapade Tour
- Banana Island , Bulalacao Island ( near Two seasons ) , Malcapuya Island.
Food was superb! nag request kami ng Lato, ginisang kuhol. and kami lang ang sakay ng boat, 9 of us BTW. tee hee!. Kuya MArko , our Guide, sobrang kwela kasama sa boat.
Dinner kami sa BIG Mama's. ANother local's recommendation. MAsarap ang food! at masarap din ang Mango shake! OMG 

Day 4 - Medyo relaxing day na maituturing dahil we decided na gumising ng late , had ur brunch at 9 AM and we headed to local souvenir shops to buy pasalubong and kasuy ulit!  then we checked out at 12 PM and headed to the airport na to wait for our flight. Suprisingly, malakas ang Wifi. Busuanga Airport improved so much. OUr flight was medyo delayed by 15 minutes due to heavy rainfall hindi maka land ang plane. But safety first tayo so we were much better waiting kaysa apurahin ang bagay bagay.

One odd thing happened din, 3 of our kasama had diarrhea, fever and vomiting. As we call it "traveller's diarrhea" due to some foods na hindi sanay ang tiyan natin, still, nakakapanghinayang lang kasi hindi 100% ang enjoyment pag may sakit sa group. Yung last night namin was spent searching for charcoal tablets and bioflu sa town to relieve their sakit.
6 of us were fine, including me na preggy. Nagkataon lang siguro na hindi sanay ang tiyan at ang katawan baka nabigla sa biyahe or food. Our water were all mineral kaya we knew it was safe. Yung food lang talaga. And as i read through this thread, madaming nagkaka Gastroenteritis habang nasa Coron. Ingat Tayo mga sis!! 

[schizo_me]

^ kahit sa El Nido din sis may mga kakilala ako sumakit ang tiyan

why kaya?

[Maxim04]

^ Naku sis baka nga something wrong sa food preps or what.. Pero kasi kung talagang may "virus" or what yung cooked food, buong group nagkasakit.. sa amin naman, few of us lang.. Talagang diarrhea, vomiting saka fever pa. 

[swtgrl_bee]

Nakakaloka what's happening, ang daming incident lately na ganyan. Personal experience pa ng Nanay ko. Ang hirap pa sa hospital sa Coron kulang sa water. Sorry TMI biruin mo nag diarrhea plus bonggang vomit ka walang running water?

Ingat sa mga pupunta.

[Maxim04]

^Naku Sorry to hear that sis naospital pala mom mo dun sa Coron..

Guys HAve you heard about the news dun sa Canadian na nagdonate ng mga medical equipment sa Coron District Hospital? Kulang nga tayo sa facilities, nag iisang Ospital pa ata yun sa Busuanga. 

Hassle pati tubig kapos pala dun. 

[ayanlanz]

off-topic, pag nagtra-travel kami (local or abroad), after check-in, naghahanap na agad kami ng grocery at bumibili ng 5-6liters ng mineral water. Since may mga baon kami drinking bottles hindi hassle lalo na minsan 2 small bottles lang mineral water ang free sa mga hotel/inn. Nagsimula kami magtravel 5yrs ago and so far never pa kami nakaproblem sa health issue. Isa pa sa must haves namin pag-aalis eh magdala ng medicine tablets.  Nilalagay ko sa siya sa keychain pouch para handy.

^gawain ko din yan may dalang medicines for emergency. for fever, mga antibiotic, meron din betadine, for diarrhea, at ganoon din kami pagka-check in pa lang sa hotel, hanap na agad kami ng grocery store na mabilbilhan ng bottled water.

[swtgrl_bee]

^^Meron din silang dala dala, pero if vomiting and diarrhea ka na  kapag improper food intake need mo na niyan ng swero. Ayun nga naka swero yung iba sa group nila. Kulang talaga sa facility ang District hospital sa Coron at on call lang ang mga doctors. Kudos naman sa mga nurses dun kasi alam talaga nila ang ginagawa nila. Walang fishing na naganap noong naghanap ng vein.

[crazycoolchic19]

hello mga sis, ask ko lang MAG DIY lang kami sa coron , pag dating ba dun marami na agency for tour?and may mga hotels na kami makikita agad, ?thanks

[nettai]

^ Hi sis, pwede ka naman mag-DIY kaso mas okay na alam mo na yung hotel/inn na tutuluyan mo dun kasi tinatanong sa van kung saan ka ibababa. Nasa sentro rin naman ang JY (or pwede mo rin tanungin yung tutuluyan mo if they can arrange it for you) kung gusto mo dun mag-avail ng group tours. Make sure that you arrange everything the day before your tour para walang aberya (or better, message mo na lang sila sa FB).

[iceylicious]

Sis, ano mas ok na hotel Coron Bancuang Mansion or Vela Terraces?? we have seniors and kids. TY
