Discovery Island Resort

房間乾淨。網絡差。

The best thing about staying in Discovery Island Resort is that it provides an island-feel, isolated setting from the chaotic urban atmosphere that you have in Coron town which is sadly urbanizing fast and feeling too much touristy already compared 10 years ago , the last time I visited Coron. Here, you can still feel that you really left the city and settled in a more slow life communing with nature and the sea which I believe most people look after when they plan to have their vacation in Coron. The resort doesn't have a Dive Center anymore. The plan to change the business name is on the works. It partners with Neptune Dive Center in town for their guests who wish to experience diving the wrecks of Coron. This place has basic amenities, clean rooms, inviting pool and a fairly wide area to do basic hiking. For me, the most important asset this resort has to offer is the friendly and accomodating staff that took care of me during my entire stay. Shoutout to Rizza, the resort manager, Paul and Ja, the restaurant managers and the boatmen: Noel, Edward, John Rey, Kimson and Tito Nars. Yes, you need to be transported via a banca to go to Lualhati Port in Coron Town and they will fetch you free also from there before 9pm and you can request also to be fetched even late in the evenings as long as you advise the reception desk for a small fee. Overall, I had a relaxing stay in this resort. I am mostly out for the whole day as I did diving and island hopping during my stay here but going back in the evenings to rest and recuperate in the pool was a bliss. The food served in the restaurant also taste good. A perfect setup I could say. This has been a good vacation for me, a great way to start my summer in the Philippines. In case I'll be back again in Coron, I will again choose to stay in this resort.

Discovery Island Resort was one of the best hotel experiences we had while visiting the Philippines. If you want a personal, professional, and relaxing experience, go to Discovery Island Resort. They treat you like royalty and don't expect anything other than a thank-you in return. The hotel is located on a small island 5 minutes by boat from Coron town, and they have their own free boat service to take you to the island and back to town whenever you want. The island is a nice, peaceful oasis with a beautiful view, a clean pool, and a cozy restaurant and bar. We lived in their native huts with our own bathroom, a bed with a fan/AC, and a small table. Not luxurious, but everything you need since you are only going to stay in the hut for sleeping anyway. They have cute dogs (Rambo is a charm) and very friendly staff. Wanna use the pool in the evening? No problem; they turn it on. Wanna go to town? No problem; they sail you there in their own boat and pick you up when you want. Want to experience some tours? No problem; they will arrange it with the best guide possible. Wanna fly with your drone? No problem; they will lay out a board on the beach so you have a platform for takeoff and landing. Need to take the ferry at crap o'clock in the morning? No problem; they will sail you to town and arrange for a tricycle to pick you up at the harbor. No matter what your needs are, they will do their best to meet them. We prolonged our stay to take an extra tour because Coron's tours are amazing, especially with TJ as your guide (ask the hotel about him), but also because the hotel was such a pleasure to stay at. If you want to have an amazing stay at Coron, stay at Discovery Island Resort. Sincerely, the Danish couple (M31, F29)

We had a reunion of old friends and classmates here and while it sometimes was physically tiring, it was well worth the trip. The resort is well maintained though certain portions were undergoing renovation. It has a nice beach front and we had 2 dinners on the beach to maximize our stay. It might be difficult to access some places in the resort as the terrain is up and down and not all stretches are evenly paved . Certain rooms also pose a challenge as they are a couple of stories up with no hand rails to hold onto. At night, it can be a bit dark to walk around in some areas. The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed. The resort staff was helpful from the time we were picked up from the airport to the van ride to the private pier to get on the boat to bring us to the island resort. Food was plentiful with a wide variety to choose from. You can opt to go island hopping or just laze around the swimming pool. Truly a trip worth taking and one for the memory books. Two thumbs up.

Great location for a visit to Coron, we stayed for 7 days and enjoyed the whole stay. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful, I will stay here again when I return!

We stayed at discovery island for 3 nights. If you want something quiet and close to Coron town, that is the place! The room was inside a private bungallow, it was big, nicely furnished and perfeclty clean. The restaurant was good and not expensive. Staff were super nice and very helpful. They pick you up from Coron pier when you want and drive you back anytime, it's only a 5 minutes boat drive. We recommend this place to watch the sunset from their peer!
