Hostellit – Popotan-saari

"The resort is an a sad state. The island is very beautiful, but essencially everything else was disappointing. Villas are outdated and in a poor condition. Staff is unprofessional, they will make you promises that will be never kept. Food quality is very low. Activities are not priced competitivly as they essencially trap you on the island with no access to any other providers (they charge handsomely to dock on the island). Avoid at all cost. "

"Nestled in an idyllic location, this boutique island hotel offers a genuine escape into tranquility. Our villa stay provided the perfect balance of privacy and natural immersion, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life. The property's greatest asset is its pristine location, situated mere steps from world-class diving spots. The diving team's expertise and friendly demeanor enhanced our underwater adventures, while the hotel staff's warm hospitality made us feel completely at home. The culinary experience was a delightful surprise, featuring hearty, home-style filipino cooking that perfectly matched the atmosphere. Each meal was generously portioned and flavorfully prepared, highlighting local ingredients. The private villas are thoughtfully equipped with essential amenities, allowing guests to fully embrace the natural surroundings. A special mention goes to Amber, the hotel's charming resident dog, who adds personality to the property while keeping the local monkeys at a distance! While the lack of air conditioning and limited WiFi coverage (restricted to the lobby and restaurant areas) might initially seem like drawbacks, we found they actually enhanced our stay. The digital detox we needed. All in all, I would definetly recommend this hotel for those looking into enjoying the best of Coron. Would come back in a heartbeat! "
