Top Hotels Near Dugong Watch in Busuanga from NZ$29

"The Filipino staff are very polite, respectful, and always ready to help. That really stood out and should definitely be kept. It’s also a big plus that guests don’t need to rent kayaks or paddleboards separately - having the fins included adds extra convenience."

"Excellent resort for our first stay in Coron. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, made us feel completely at home. Resort staff is also great with recommendations and making accommodations for rides."

"Staff was so friendly and fun to talk to, room was super cute Spanish themed, and the entire resort was super well put together and fun to explore! The food in their little restaurant was awesome as well. Great views and nice relaxing pool and private beach. Highly recommend this place if you’re traveling to Coron! "

"Stayed for one night. Staff was very friendly, room was clean, and the pool and the grounds were nice. The meals were good. You are a little ways from town but taking a tuktuk into Coron just adds to the adventure. We would stay there again. "

"We love the people and staff the most!"

"The beachhouse is a serene oasis with beautiful seaviews and sunsets, a pretty pool, and a chic boho vibe with natural materials and lots of bamboo and woodworks that show great care for design and sustainability, merging into the natural beauty of the environment. Coming by boat from the seaside (island hopping), you barely see the beachhouse at first, blending into the palm trees that line the shore and the dense greenery of the jungle clad mountain behind. Then it emerges as a tropical oasis on the edge of the Ocam Ocam Cove. Its a perfect retreat for those who seek a peaceful getaway far from the crowds of town, to relax, recharge, and taste the raw nature of palawan (which they call “the last frontier” of the philippines for its untouched nature). To us it was the perfect Palawan getaway to enjoy a quiet and peaceful weekend, laze around the pool, and explore the islandscape of Busuanga by boat (Black Island across the Beachhouse, and the Dugong snorkling tour were our highlights). Ocam Ocam Beach is pretty, raw and quiet, nice for a walk along the cove exploring a mix of local village life and small tourist establishments. The beachhouse is around an hour ride from the airport and easy to reach with the hotels shuttle, the last 15mins are rough road and get a bit bumpy. Dont go if you expect crowds, bars and nightlife, its a remote escape far from the hustle of coron town, but for us, it was the perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend."

"A Hidden Paradise in Nature – Hotel Riverhouse, Coron 🌿🌅🌊 Staying at Hotel Riverhouse was like stepping into a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature. The location is simply breathtaking — tucked away from the crowd, right by the river, with lush greenery all around. It’s the perfect escape for those who want to reconnect with nature and find true serenity. Waking up to the sound of birds and watching the sunrise straight from the bed was one of the most magical moments of our trip. The calm river view, the gentle breeze, and the natural soundtrack of the forest made every moment feel special and peaceful. This place is not just a hotel, it's an experience — quiet, beautiful, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone looking for a tranquil stay in Coron. 🌄🌺🌿 "

"We wanted to “get away” and that’s what we got at La Estancia. We get to spend quality time with family. The resort catered to our needs. PROS: >They offer airport to resort to airport transfers for a fee if less than 8 persons but if you are a group of 8, the van is free. We were a group of 16, so we only paid for the second van. >The resort offers private island lifestyle and offer breakfast/lunch/dinner for an extra charge (very reasonable pricing, mostly Filipino food menu) > Private beach > Free use of kayaks > Seaview rooms with private balconies > Wonderful staff (special mention to Nanay Auie, Ate Aiza, Ma’am Meryl and our drivers) > Clean rooms > La Estancia can book your island hopping and Coron activities and coordinate with trusted tour agencies (they made sure we enjoyed and were safe with our Coron tour) > They can make you lunch picnic for your island hopping for a separate fee (again very reasonable pricing and delicious fresh food/drinks). Our family went to Black Island and Debotunay Island CONS: > Far from town proper ( 1.5 from airport/ 2 hrs to Coron), so if you want night life, this is not your kind of resort > Internet was slow (but then again, if you want to get away…)this was just fine for us. My son was still able to log on and take his summer online classes/tests. > As of July 2025, they don’t take major credit cards ( they take cash, money transfers thru paypal/gcash) My advise is to please ask resort for updates before your stay.
