Hotel Romantik di Coron

Prior to starting this review, i read some previous reviews, and i have to say, most of the negative ones are either without foundation completely, or were written by overly pretentious people. It's island accommodation, it's cheap by western standards, yet some people seem to expect 5 star luxury for $40 -$50 a night ? Please, be serious people ! In any case, we booked a 3 week stay at KokosNuss, and our positive opinion of the place started before we even checked in ! Applied for the S-Pass twice before leaving Australia, the 2nd time being immediately before boarding our flight to Manila. Was rejected both times, reason unknown. On arrival in Manila, it was supposed to be a few hours in a hotel then a morning flight to Coron, but we still didn't have an S-Pass, and i was at a loss as to what to do. As a last resort, and out of desperation, i messaged KokosNuss to tell them of the issue. Keep in mind that by this time, it was around 11.30pm. Luckily for us, Alma was the one who responded, and assured us that she would get it sorted on our behalf, and she said to check our S-Pass account by 6.30am. Sure enough, when i checked at around 6.30, the S-Pass was approved. Alma was an absolute angel and our saving grace. Staying up to nearly midnight to help us out ! I/We can't speak highly enough of Alma, and she is the epitome of true customer service. After a stressful night with the S-Pass situation, we finally arrived at KokosNuss the next morning, and were greeted by really friendly staff. We were shown to our room, with staff taking our suitcases and backpacks for us which was nice of them. The room itself was quite nice, with a big bed, and the bathroom was a tastefully decorated room, separate to the bedroom. One of the first things we needed was a good shower, and while the water wasn't hot, and the pressure wasn't great, it did the job for sure. We sat down for dinner that first night, and when our ordered meals arrived, i was gobsmacked by the serving sizes. I've travelled extensively around Asia (and the rest of the world) and nowhere have i been, particularly in Asia, where the serving sizes are a huge as at kokosNuss. Eateries/Cafes/Restaurants around Asia typically have serving sizes akin to what the locals would eat themselves, and as we know, Westerners/Europeans tend to eat bigger meals than Asian people, so you tend to order more to compensate. No need at KokosNuss, the meals are massive ! (and the range is good) Not only are they massive in serving size, they are all freshly prepared and cooked, hence why some reviews mention having to wait a while for your order. To have a freshly prepared and cooked meal, I’m quite happy to wait that little bit longer. In terms of value, the meals are really well priced, especially considering that you won’t finish any of the meals still feeling hungry. The next morning (our first full morning at KokosNuss) we ventured downstairs to the Al Fresco meals area for breakfast, and I mentioned to Alma

This is a quiet and relaxed hotel. The AC can make your room very cold which is great when you are out in the sun for too long doing all the great island tours around Coron! The room is comfortable enough and the staff would clean it everyday. My only complaint is the shower drain, it drained very slow and the water would flood out of the shower. There is a drain outside the shower but it still made the floor wet and soaked my slippers. The staff is very kind, always says hello. This hotel is at the top of a hill, right up from the town. You will get good exercise here, it is very close to the entrance to Mount Tapyas. You can see the Coron sign from the hotel. The hotel offers transportation to the airport and you can pay low prices for the amazing different island tours. You can pay the hotel for the tours and the tour hosts will pick you up from the hotel and drop you off when the tour is done. The breakfast is decent and the pool is very nice and relaxing. The food and drinks at the rooftop bar are great and you get an amazing view up there!

Location of this hotel was not convenient. Staff was eager to help but falls short due to ignorance. Everyone was nice enough though and tried their best. Front desk was very helpful in booking excursions and answering questions professionally. Cleanliness was average. The whole room smelled of sewer and I did not get the feeling sanitation was priority. The food was astonishingly mediocre at best. Left over dinner items were used for breakfast the next day. I had to eat breakfast at the hotel simply due to convenience but only stuck with eggs, toast and the somewhat fresh fruits. Overall I would not stay at this hotel again and would pay more to be centrally located in the future

This hotel is good for budget travellers. Ambience is right. Room condition is huge for 2 people. Location is near the Coron sign and the port. Everything is walking distance to all restaurants. Staffs are charming and helpful. Housekeeping is everyday. Our room is well maintained during our stays. Avoid getting your tour from the adjacent tour center; they are not good. Breakfast in the hotel is good. Price is just average. Overall, this hotel is highly recommended to all!

It's not our first time in Coron, but it's our first time staying in MO2. We stayed in Westown Resort a few months ago, same year, and we've had a great time there. MO2 felt more quiet and more at home. My boyfriend and I are not actually fans of crowded places so MO2 felt perfect for us. Maybe because it's still off season here in Coron. When I made the booking I opted for a queen size bed, but during check-in, Frank, the front desk agent informed us that we were upgraded to their room with a king size bed. I thought, ”Aww! That's so sweet!” My boyfriend was also thrilled because when we were in Westown Resort, we got upgraded there too. We enjoyed lounging in the pool, and eating pizza at the bar. I don't know about the other reviews here, but staff are actually accommodating. (As expected from a hotel in Coron) The room was super spacious, and housekeeping cleaned our room well. It would be nice if they add a welcome treat in the room. It's only a suggestion since I think almost everyone is doing it. Since I work in the hospitality industry and he in cruise industry, it felt nice to relax, reset and to be spoiled a little. We will definitely come back again next year, and I hope we won't miss out on the welcome drinks again (because we missed it the last time too hahaha!)
