Hotel berhampiran Kilien falls, Busuanga

For us, we like a little bit of seclusion every once in a while when traveling. Despite the 1 hour airport transfer and trip to Coron Proper, Busuanga Bay Lodge was amazing! The staff was welcoming and friendly from the time we got here to our last day, which is today. We were given an upgrade, from the King Waterfront to a suite 2 floors below the lobby area, due to the low count of guests staying here at the time😁. The menu is only 2 pages but the chef is really amazing! Joaquin, Joel, and the rest of the staff gave top notch service. Some people that might stay here may not like the road connecting the resort to the main road but oh well, it adds a little adventure to your stay! Valentine's day night was romantic with 2 of the staff providing musical entertainment. We just missed the annual boat race that happens right in front of the hotel from the February 18 thru the weekend. We definitely recommend this place!

Pros and cons. The island was great, we loved our stay at the cottage. But the service was not so good. Pros: - The island was great. Major plus points for the house reef and grass bed that attracts fish and sea turtles. There were birds and the monitor lizards on the island! - The view from our sunrise cottage was great. The rooms were clean and the toiletries complete. - Transport to and from the island went smoothly. - Massage was great! Cons: - We arrived at around 1pm (official check in time is 3pm). The staff told us they would call us when our room was ready. Many groups of arrivals were steadily being escorted to their rooms but not us. At 230pm I went back to the reception and was told our rooms had been ready earlier! But NO ONE let us know. At this point, they gave me the key card but no one made a move to escort us to our rooms and I had to ask if they could give us our luggage so we can go the room already before the receptionist accompanied us. - There is no comfortable place to wait or change clothes while waiting for your room. Basically people are sitting on the pool loungers in their pants/shoes from the airplane. - We signed up for the hike, we were told some one would text us to confirm time and meeting place, NO ONE called. - Basically, any time they tell you they'll call you, NO ONE did. I had to call multiple times and actually go the reception to get any response. - The restaurant was not full yet it was very hard to get the attention of any server. The food also took 30-40 minutes to serve. Kudos to the one lady server who served our lunch everyday for 3 days, she was the only one who helped us. - Used plates/utensils were left on the restaurant tables for a long time. We sat down as the neighboring party left and we were already done, their plates were still sitting on the table (being snacked on by the birds). This happened every meal (and we're slow eaters, at least 45 minutes). - Towels and plates/cups by the pool loungers also not cleared for hours. - Breakfast and dinner buffet were just okay. Nothing to write home about.

If you are looking for a dive resort for divers, owned/managed by divers, with excellent knowledge of the WWII wrecks, then this is the place for you. The resort is located ~30 min boat ride from Coron, on a beautiful isolated bay on north Chindonan Island. You are made feel welcome from the minute you set foot on the jetty, and part of the family atmosphere surrounded by chill vibe. We took a 10 day 14 dive package, which is excellent value for money (breakfast/dinner included), so that we could relax after a morning dive (or two) and catch the cool afternoon breeze on our balcony. The views and seclusion of the resort, friendliness of the staff, plus excellent (safe) wreck diving, is 5-star quality.

My boyfriend and I stayed in this resort last March 2023, and we were very satisfied during our stay. After booking one of their deluxe room for two nights only, I've decided to book one night extension just so we could experience one of their premium rooms also. It was his first time flying to Coron because I've been here ever since for work purposes. Upon check-in, I was informed that we were upgraded to their premium room and that made us both so happy! I didn't ask for it, but they were so kind to give us the upgrade. The room was super nice and spacious. I loved the view of the sunset from our balcony! They even granted one of my request to put a slice of chocolate cake in the room because my boyfriend didn't get the chance to celebrate his birthday a few months ago. Staff were busy in the morning. Housekeeping also cleaned our room well and refilled everything from bottled water to bathroom amenities and towels. The location was convenient for us as it's along the main road, and we got ourselves a car rental during our stay so we can go out and come back anytime we want. Their swimming pool is huge! I don't know, but it felt huge because we were running and swimming from one pool to another like kids during our second night at the resort :D. What caught my boyfriend's attention was the Cockatoo by the entrance. We'd always stop by to say hello to the little fella. Overall it was a nice experience for us. See you next time!

My family and I stayed at Sangat for 8 days and were thrilled with everything the Island and the resort had to offer. The staff were amazing, super friendly and very helpful, in the end they felt like long lost family. The accommodation was awesome , we stayed in a beachside chalet and when I say beachside, we were 3 metres from the sea, the chalet was roomy, comfortable and cleaned daily, ideal for our family. Our son did the discover diving and couldn't wait to enrol into the open water course, Tom taught my son one on one and was absolutely brilliant. Tom's fantastic crew of dive instructors were brilliant and as a fellow diver, I felt at ease navigating my way through the many WWII wrecks with these great instructors at the resort. The meals were always good with a good variety of fish, meat and vegetarian options for breakfast, lunch and dinner plus afternoon snacks. I cannot recommend Sangat Island resort and their amazing staff enough - will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to go to Palawan. I have only one minor complaint - please ban smoking from the Rock Bar, apart from that 6 stars from me

El mejor resort donde he estado en mi vida sin ninguna duda. Una atención de 10, un paisaje digno del paraíso, un ambiente de paz y increíble alrededor de la casita donde estuvimos. Lo recomiendo 100% y no tengo palabras para dar las gracias a este equipo maravilloso que nos dio la bienvenida. La comida es excelente, la mejor que tuvimos en filipinas. Ojalá volver ya!

+ Beautiful place + frienly helpful staff + relaxing vibe - snorkling in Front of the resort isnt that good - the Food is incredible overpriced
