The hotel is very new. According to the staff, it opened in late Dec 2022 so it's about one month old when we were there. Although it is a new hotel, all the staffs are very well trained, Kudos to the management. From the doorman, hotel transport driver, receptionist, hotel manager, the service staff at the Vegan restaurant and roof top bar, everyone is very helpful, warm and welcoming! They made our stay extra special. They recommended good tours and restaurant in the town too. Heartfelt thanks to PJ, Dani, Lorraine, Snoky, Nicole (from Verde restaurant) and the rest of the team. The location is amazing. The roof top bar has breathtaking view of the beach and other islands. Only about 2 mins walk to the beach where all the island hopping tour starts. About 5 mins walk to where the Canopy Walk starts. Easy access to other beaches and tourists activities via local tuk tuk transport at a relatively low fee. There's lots of good restaurants and shops very near the hotel. There's also a great spa that provides manicure/pedicure and massage services in the hotel building. The rooms are spacious with good views. The bed, duvet and pillows are very comfortable and fresh. They provided free bottled water and several cans of soft drink in the mini fridge too. My husband and myself are not Vegetarian nor Vegan but we truly enjoyed our meals at the restaurant. We were worried that we will miss bacon and eggs for breakfast but they serve extremely tasty and healthy breakfast menu and great coffee too. All the food presentation was excellent giving us good appetite 👍 We highly recommend H Hotel to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and relaxing holiday in El Nido.

Our stay at the Alon villa was absolutely perfect! The villa is situated in a beautiful, peaceful setting, ideal for relaxation and enjoying nature. Every morning, we started our day with a delightful breakfast outdoors, surrounded by greenery and birdsong – a true paradise for the soul. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to assist and make our stay as pleasant as possible. We especially appreciated that, since we didn’t have our own transportation, they provided us with the contact of a driver named Willy. He was truly the kindest driver ever – always available, smiling, and ready to take us wherever we needed to go, at any time of day or night. Since the villa is located away from the main road and tricycles couldn’t reach the property, Willy accompanied us to the villa every evening, ensuring we arrived safely. This level of care and attention truly impressed us. Overall, our stay at the villa was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be coming back! We highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect place to relax.

Superbe stay! Family who owns the property is helpful and attentive, we arranged everything with them, scooter rental, laundry and some private transport to Puero Princessa. All went very well. The neibourhood is quiet, tidy and green. There are small details that matter, such as the drinking water tank to refill your bottle. In the room you will also have a tank with water to use while brushing the teeth. Thank you Hutch Lodging House!

Our stay was incredible. We arrived to the hotel, after booking the same day (we had to leave our other hotel as we were not fans) Remy on reception greeted us. Welcomed us in beautifully, our bags were taken to our room and she even showed us multiple room options to ensure we were happy with our stay. It was such a convenient location, she helped us get tricycles in the town, recommended restaurants and tour and checked in on us every time we passed through the lobby and showed us a cute convient shop to buy water and essentials. Honestly we were so shocked by the level of hospitality in this hotel I would highly recommend this hotel.

    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 110 reviews
    Although the AirSwift plane was 1 hour late arriving at 4:30 pm, the transfer was still taken care of by Ruel. It felt like a James Bond movie: from the plane into the van driving onto the jetty directly to the speed boat that took us to the island in only 20 min … just in time before night fall, which is when the coast guard wouldn’t allow any boat ride anymore. The full board catering was fantastic, both in terms of Filipino and Western food. The waiters and cooks were fabulous living up to the wonderful Filipino philosophy of bayanihan … doing everything to make you happy, not because they’re staff, but because one genuinely feels that they are happy if the guest is happy. There was not one angry soul in this place!! As a lover of Filipino food, I didn’t need to request the food I like … they read it in my eyes (pinakbet, kamote cue etc). The following stood out in particular: Vergel, Ricky, Chai, Jess, Alfonso, Fhee, John, Vern. As to the complimentary activities: We were overwhelmed with what was already included in the package. Two guides stood out: Reylan and Marlon bent over backwards for me to get the best snorkeling experience and gently took care of my Asawa, Edna, who - thanks to them - is no longer afraid of the water and the ocean. In summary: job well done from the cleaners to the waiters/cooks to the tour guides to the receptionists (Kath & Kath and Jess) and lastly the wonderful manager Francis.

    It was an exceptional stay. From the first minute (we arrived 2 hours before official check-in) the staff was amazing. Helpful and accommodating. It's the amazing staff and the little things that made our stay exceptional. Like changing daily free drinks in the mini bar or the help I received when I lost my way and ended up in the staff room. The rooftop terrace, the whirlpools there and the friendly bar lady made it one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset. All our extra requests were met (pick-up, laundry,...) and they even placed a pre-birthday decoration in the room after we mentioned our reason to celebrate at the check-in. Would go back in a heartbeat.

    I really enjoyed town, but nacpan and duli area also nice places to stay! Lio is another nice spot to stay. Town is good if you like going out to eat, and see a lot of things But staying in lio, nacpan or duli is also nice if you want a more peaceful, quiet time. even sibaltan would be nice (check out the manta rays if you dive)

    The calamian group of islands of which Coron is part of, is beautiful. And I hope all the measures to keep it pristine and unlittered will be successful always. There are many breathtaking sights. You would need a sizable budget though to be able to enjoy the boat tours which are wonderful. If you have the time, visit Culion. It is historical (a UNESCO site), and while the places to see could do a little tidying up, nevertheless, the history of that place invites reflection and inspires--many heroic people lived on that island. Kudos to the religious who have kept the place going since it was first established. The Culion museum should be your first stop.

    Absolutely!

    Absolutely! San Vicente really flies under the radar compared to El Nido and Coron, but that’s part of its charm. It’s less crowded, more laid-back, and still boasts those stunning, unspoiled beaches—especially the 14-kilometer Long Beach, which feels like a hidden gem. The slower pace and warm, genuine hospitality from the locals really give it that authentic "island life" vibe. It’s perfect for people looking to relax, connect with nature, and avoid the more tourist-heavy scenes. Some even say it’s what El Nido felt like 10 or 15 years ago.

    If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit,...

    If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping. If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home. Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February. To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

    Every day I walked from the hotel to Sabang wharf on the beach and on one day had coffee, adobo and itlog in a small cafe there. Everyone was very friendly, and I bought some Pasalubong, when they did not have my tee shirt size, they went to another shop to get it for me and to get change when I gave them 1000 peso note. I asked directions to the falls, but no one was exactly sure where it was or how long it would take to get there. The place was secure (police station at the wharf and coastguard and army regularly on patrol in the area. I eventually found the park that a friend recommended (5 km from the hotel) and had an excellent buffet lunch there twice and again they made Chester very welcome, the park was free and had some interesting, recycled artworks and a tribute to the devastation in the area by Typhoon Odette- well worth a visit. Also visit Buenavista viewpoint- the local community run it and you can get Buko juice, coffee, snacks and Pasalubong plus take great photos of the bay

    A delightful quiet backwater and so far less developed town.

    A delightful quiet backwater and so far less developed town. The beaches were beautiful and mostly clean. The town has plenty of activities to offer and places to eat. The whole place is walkable but you may want a Tuktuk or moped to visit further beaches.

    El Nido has so many fun things to do, and we liked that while there were a plentitude of tourist options, we were not separated from local culture and activities that sometimes happens in other places. We were only there for four days, and we could have stayed another week. The beaches are beyond stunning, both the ones you can walk to and the ones that need a boat. The snorkeling was fantastic, the food options endless, and the vibe was chill and fun.

    Rooms are spacious, big selection if breakfast, friendly hotel staff. Infinity pool is okay, could have a bit deeper though. The other pool is undergoing refurbishment. Island hoping are a must to do. We ate in the town where they served fresh sea food.I think its called Island boy Grill. Outside the hotel the tricycle ride are ideal to get round Coron town proper for merely 30 pesos.

    Worst public ride rates, not regulated, mostly a rip-off.

    Worst public ride rates, not regulated, mostly a rip-off. The streets are unsafe with so many potholes, no street cleaners to keep the dust away. I appreciate the vehicles stopping when a person crosses the street.
