Budget friendly option, but dont expect too much for your money.
Pro: good location, nice staff, good exchange rate (USD PHP 56), free water and hot water.
Cons:
AC was extremely loud (with two dead cockaroaches inside :D ), room extremely small, warm water heater was either 45C (too hot) or off (too cold) no possibility to set temperature. AC was pushing hot air inside the common areas.
This is the best price-quality relationship hotel I’ve been. The position is great, specially if you choose the room 1 or 2. It’s a very simple hotel, not many amenities which is normal due to the price. Furthermore, Myriam the host is a marvelous person and always available to help you. Highly recommended
the food served were delicious, the place is nice . its just that theres no slippers available inside the room but the staff shes kind enough to lend hers. Theres a lot of mosquitos inside the room i could not sleep because i worry about getting dengue. the headboard is dusty. good thing their staff were really nice i hope theyll improve more esp the aspect of mosquitos getting inside the room
Located in San Jose, Carabao Island Beach Camp features a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a sea view.
At the resort, each room is equipped with a closet.
An à la carte, continental or Full English/Irish breakfast is available at the property. At Carabao Island Beach Camp you'll find a restaurant serving American, British and Seafood cuisine. Vegetarian and vegan options can also be requested.
The accommodation offers a spa center.
Caticlan Airport is 16 miles away.
Clean accommodation and just 3-5mins from SM puerto princesa and is also near the airport.
It’s like a traditional Filipino home that you need to take your slippers/shoes off upon entering someone’s place/house.
Will definitely recommend this place.
We enjoyed their restaurant coz the staff was kind, generous, and helpful. The food was delicious, despite sisig was costly mischiefed (it was more expensive than in menu prices), it has a free videoki and disco, and water. We had plenty fun dancing at the disco and having fun with the other local people. The music was awesome and lovely. There most lovely thing is there is security (at both restaurants and hotel) that guards and guides.
The room we had was awful. There was no soap, no tissue, neither shampoo, a miserable room with cockroaches and ants, but we checked out earlier by mistake and we were checked in an upgraded room. The room was exclusive. Thanks for that.
Blue Waters Inn was great! Friendly staff, great location, clean and comfortable rooms. There is a laundry spot just up the road. Towels are provided and beach towels are available to rent at the front desk. You can book your boat tours and ferry tickets there too. I had an amazing stay, and I’ll definitely book here again.
Staffs are friendly & accommodating, location is very strategic near to malls, restaurants & easy access to land transportation. Facilities are good with elevator very helpful to senior citizens. My recommendations are: replacement of old bath towels & some repair of bathroom drainage ( water stock at the floor)
The hotel is clean and nice. The only downside is if you are in 4th floor, there is no elevator available. You have to take the stairs with your luggages. I chanced on the employees, they were so helpful in bringing some of our luggages. The price is fairly good and near the beach front. Just few blocks away you could see the beach. Worth the price. They have generator when there is power interuption.
Excellent hotel, convenient location, not far from the airport. Nearby shops and a couple of cafes, you can walk to the beach. Hot water, air conditioning. There is a pool and a park. I liked everything very much. Thank you!

Very Good
MmischiefSai AestravThe Casa's location is just up ahead from the Coron main road which you can take tricycle to go anywhere in the Coron Town Proper, it is also near the St. Agustin Church, and near to BPI, Andoks, Pacifico, Maria L's Cake House and Café.
The Casa is basically and technically near to popular places, you only need to walk down to the Coron main road and grab a tricycle and jist tell the driver the place you want to go.
The room I was in were good to sleep in, the aircondition works, I basically turned off the AC when the room cool enough then open the electric fan.
You can use their kitchen which I discovered late but it's fine since I always out touring, I just wish that the care taker orient me ahead on what can I access or use.
I spoke to the owner ober the phone, he is not here in the Casa but still helped me to be picked up from and to the airport and the Casa.
There are no staff to fully accomodate you since this is not a hotel but more like a house where you rent room to stay in to sleep and bathe, but you can ask people who were staying here probably the care taker of the house to ask for assistance.
The place were not yet known to all because during my stay here and I had a booked tour the van couldn't find the Casa, probably it has no visible sign that the driver or the guide could see. There's a sign outside the gate but it needed more visibility and a repaint so that everyone know what is this place and its location.
The place cannot be seen in Google Maps since it was not yet updated to recent view so even if you virtually travel the streets, the area where this place is, is inaccessible on the map.
So far a good place to stay in to relax after a long day of tour activities and probably one of the cheapest.
VVictoria&JessiMy overall experience is good! I'm the type of person who prefers active travelling, so the hotel is needed literally just for sleep, shower and storing stuff.
My requirements for the hotel were good proximity to the city center and nice room with hot shower. Well, the location is truly good, it's a bit on the hill so to get to the city center you just need to come down. In the same building there is a great cafe DAYO who offer 10% discount per day for the Oceana Bay hotel's guests.
During our trip to Philippines, Coron was the last destination and the 4th hotel we stayed at, and that was the only one with some room facilities issues. When we checked-in it turned out there is no water in the shower, the staff truly tried to be helpful, the receptionist girl offered us to stay in another upgraded room before the problem will be solved. The thing is when one day later we had to return to the room the problem with the water wasn't solved, we had to contact staff all the time which for sure was absolutely inconvenient, especially when water could be cut off during taking shower. At that point nobody cared already, there were no offers to change the room or to offer us a discount. The siphon from the sink was leaking, so every time you wash your hands, the bathroom floor is immediately in water.
The AC is truly loud, but this is absolutely normal for Philippines, as well as the absence of hair dryer. Nice thing that the hotel unlimitedly provides drinking water in the hall. The hotel also offers tours, bike rent, transfer to the airport, but I'd suggest to check it out in the city first, we've found more convenient and better price offers there.
CCris RuffoloI went on a 13-day trip around Palawan and Coron was my first stop from Cebu. In Coron, I stayed in Dayon Hostel. I was alone for the duration of my three-night stay in the six-bed female dorm. You can choose to lock the door at night for security. I made sure that I turned off the AC every time I went out.
The restrooms are clean especially the toilets although the shower rooms need to be upgraded as some showerheads do not function that well. It will also be nice if they do a thorough cleaning of the shower rooms and the sinks as they looked dirty and unkempt.
There is a restaurant on the rooftop but the options are limited. If you exit through the back, it leads you the main road where you will find a wonderful cafe that serves good sausage meals. There are also several local options available if you want affordable options.
The price I paid was worth the quality of the stay. The hostel is known by tour operators and guides and so it was not a challenge when it was time for pick-up and drop off.
I loved the staff especially when I had to leave early in the morning to head to the port for my trip to El Nido. They arranged my transportation and made sure that I left the hostel on time.
Will I go back? Maybe not and it's not because I don't like it. It's just that I felt that my next stay should be in a private room for another worthwhile experience in Coron. But for those solo travelers on a budget, Dayon Hostel is your best bet in Coron in as far as affordable sleeping option is concerned.
GGuest UserSmall rooms, next to a party street. The size, service and even the location are not worth the money, to be honest. But at that moment there were no options, no choice. All the ports were closed, and the hotels were sold out and there was nowhere to go. We took it for one night.
AArsenThe hotel is located right on the shore, there is a parking on the lawn. Good breakfast for the extra charge. The room is small, there are ants, they are everywhere, but I was absolutely unhindered. Very comfortable bed. Water is not hot, very comfortable temperature. I liked everything with my wife.
KKenDucsWe recently had the pleasure of staying here, and I must say it was one of the cleanest hotels I've experienced in Palawan. The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to access local attractions. However, there was some noise from a nearby bar late at night. It wasn't too distracting for me, especially on the higher floors, so I recommend requesting one of those if you’re sensitive to sound.
The hotel itself is well-maintained, likely due to its recent renovations. The elevator, though small, was smooth and always clean, which added to the overall pleasant experience. The bathroom was a highlight—very clean and comfortable, although I did find the water heater a bit challenging to adjust.
Each room features a smart lock and a smart TV with Netflix and other apps, which is a nice touch. The Wi-Fi was reliable, even on the highest floor, allowing for seamless browsing.
One area for improvement would be the bedding. While the mattress and pillows were decent, a thicker comforter would enhance the sleeping experience, as the provided blanket was quite thin.
The staff were friendly and accommodating, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. While this may not be a luxury hotel, it offers excellent cleanliness and customer service, making it a great choice for travelers. I would certainly consider staying here again!
GGuest UserReview for Ginto Residence in El Nido – 4/5 Stars
Ginto Residence is a fantastic place to stay in El Nido if you’re looking for a central location. This small property with only four rooms feels more like an Airbnb than a traditional hotel, which adds to its charm. The staff are extremely friendly and polite, and communication is easy via WhatsApp.
The amenities are thoughtful – free water, hot coffee, and tea are always available. The rooms are freshly renovated and very clean. The location is exceptional, right in the heart of Corong-Corong, with plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. If you’re in an upper-floor room, the balcony provides a great view of the street below – but keep in mind, you’ll also hear the street noise quite clearly. This makes it ideal for guests who want to be in the middle of the action, but perhaps not for those seeking peace and quiet.
Breakfast is served in a local Filipino restaurant nearby and features delicious, authentic Filipino cuisine. The internet connection is excellent and very stable, which was a huge plus.
One suggestion for improvement would be to add a refrigerator in the rooms, as this would be very convenient for guests.
Overall, I’d definitely stay here again. It’s a great option for its location, friendly service, and modern amenities. Four stars!
EEKATERINASkyWe spent one night, everything was great. Breakfasts were not bad, it's a sin to complain for such a price. We warned in advance about late check-in, check-in went smoothly. We recommend!
GGuest UserThe hotel is a short distance from the town of Cologne, about 10 minutes walk to the town, you can also choose to take a motorcycle, very cheap.
The hotel's public areas are very good. It is one of the few hotels in Cologne with a garden and swimming pool.
As for the room facilities, it was a lot worse. There are few beds, made of bamboo, and they turn around and creak, which affects sleep.
The hotel can order, but the taste is too salty, and a soup noodle is good.
It is more like a family hotel, with insufficient awareness of operation and service.
YYANGThe price is very affordable. Hotel service is very good, the staff is very good, will greet you, help you solve the problem is very enthusiastic. The shower water is not hot. I have troubled people three times. The breakfast type needs to be notified one day in advance and the next day. In fact, all three are similar, not too rich but very delicious. The rooftop is also a place to eat breakfast, the scenery is very beautiful, the roof can also dry clothes, so even if your room does not have a balcony. The day before you leave, you can go to the airport car in advance, someone will pick it up. It is very convenient to go to the place where you can eat in the dive shop. It is the central location from the big step on the edge of the hotel. There are all. The only problem is that the chicken is called in the middle of the night. It will start at about 3-4 points. It will stop calling. The chickens are kept under the hotel. On the side, the whole town of Cologne is called chicken. I don't know if it has improved now.
