Independent in Popotan Island from NZ$117

"."

"So pretty - nested in nature, sea views and sunsets, natural materials and chic hoho design. Staff is super friendly & food and drinks are top notch. Quiet place, nature, off the beaten track. 1hr from airport. Place for relaxation not nightlife."

"The privacy and secluded atmosphere."

"It was a unique and wonderful experience. Not the normal avg resort. The staff are exceptionally kind, helpful and genuinely want your experience to be fantastic. I loved falling asleep to the ocean, the variety of food offered and just the relaxed vibe. The resort is the only place on the island. My cabin did not have AC but I was very comfortable with the breezes and fans. Any modern convienance missing was made up with happy hour, beautiful views, and friendly staff. I also recommend the tours if offered. Great experiences snorkling and visiting the natural hot spring. "

"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.

"careful of the sugar/black ants, unavoidable but definitely no open food in the room and will be fine, they don't bite at least. other than that it was great. nice and quiet and a good escape from the city for a while. island hopping was reasonably priced and shorter boat ride away compared to other resorts. diving courses and tours offered for both novice and experienced divers which are excellent."

"The staff made the stay totally enjoyable. "

"We liked quiet spot with water front views. Room's we're quirky and open, but would have appreciated air conditioning and WiFi extender to the room. Also no coffee available 24/7. This would be nice. And mistakes made with invoicing in hotels favour with no apology "
