My partner and I decided to do a big Asia trip with Taipei, Manila, Palawan region, and Tokyo right after before going back home to San Francisco. Something we really wanted after exploring big cities like Taipei and Manila is to be able to reset. We enjoyed a couple of days in El Nido where we were situated next to the town with easy access, and then decided to check out Busuanga. The resort offers airport pick ups, and it was a good 40 minutes to get to the resort. It is situated in a more remote area, with Coron around a 30 minute drive, but we decided to stay in the resort for this leg of our trip. The room was massive, and we did book a room with AC and also wifi, and enjoyed the double shower, double sinks, and also the roomy double closet. The common area was very open with a beautiful view of the bay and also the sunset/sunrise. We utilized their spa services, and free amenities like the paddle boarding and kayaking at the water front. It is not a white sandy beach kind of place, but to be honest we did not mind. After lounging for a couple of days, we decided to book a boat trip to explore the islands nearby. We did not want to do a group tour to be honest since we wanted to zip through it based on our schedule. We decided to skip one of the 4 locations they offered because we did not want to be under the sun for 5-6 hours so we went to areas we wanted. Definitely go to the coral garden to snorkel! I am not a big snorkel guy but I really enjoyed that. Since it was just us two, we paid for the four person spots in able to take the boat out which did not upset our pockets when comparing it to USD. The biggest thing I enjoyed were the staff, truly. They really made our experience great. A big shoutout to Felix and Nanelyn for being so kind and attentive to our needs.. like another round of Red Horse beer while at the infinity pool. This resort is definitely a place for those wanting to relax. Not for those who constantly want to go into the city for dinner every night since it is more isolated. Yes, the food is more pricey at a resort compared to street food in the city, but it was actually amazing! If you're on a tight budget, stick to the hostels and street food. But if you are looking for an amazing experience and resort lifestyle, definitely book this place. It did not break our bank, and we also felt like we received the best quality for our buck.
