Guest Reviews

David (10/5): - Great location for a visit to Coron, we stayed for 7 days and enjoyed the whole stay. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful, I will stay here again when I return!
Purificacion (10/5): - the staff are so accommodating. they treated us like family. it was gone away from home. Rizza the host is so warm n attentive to our needs. having Rambo, i consider him the dog host, is very comforting for me. kayaking around the mangroves just by the property was one of the activities i truly enjoyed. will definitely stay there again in the future.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Discovery island being away from the main town of Coron itself was unique. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a bookshelf where you can take a book and leave one (exchanging), if you are a reader on vacation. The Town might have some expensive resaurants depending on where you go. There is an infinity pool which is amazing. You can walk the whole island in under 30 minutes. The food is served fresh upon asking and delicious from the only island Resaurant and bar on land. Overall, if you like being private and secluded, this is the spot for you.
Verified traveler (4/5): Wouldn’t stay again, expensive and dirty! - Room we booked had no hot water, it didn’t say anywhere online that the room was cold water only. We wouldn’t of booked it if we knew we wouldn’t be able to have a hot shower for our whole stay. The price is too expensive for what it is, doesn’t include a hot shower or breakfast. There is a restaurant on site, food is nice but it’s expensive and the staff aren’t friendly and are so slow. Price of the room is way to high for what it is, old dated rooms that were dirty and full of bugs
Jim (8/5): - Enjoyed the stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food.
Verified traveler (6/5): Personnel relatively indifferent, no cleaning - No room make up despite request. Personnel always late with appointments.
Verified traveler (6/5): - The staff is very friendly, cheerful, and helpful. We commend them for their excellent service and pleasant disposition. We appreciated the boat rides and the crews that took us back and forth to Coron town. There is no air conditioning, no water pressure, and no hot water. The door locks need to be replaced. The toilet seat in our room C10 needs a screw. The metal shelves are rusting. The hotel is not recommended for handicapped people. The restaurant serves good food. Recommend complementary breakfasts every day.
Verified traveler (4/5): - The only disappointment we experienced was the room assign to us. We are senior and h as ve a back problem and the room assigned wS the highest cottage. Using stairs.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Peaceful and picturesque location, day tours were excellent!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Highly recommended if u want to stay away from the hussle & bustle of coron city,,,, relaxing & peaceful location
Julia (10/5): - Very family friendly resort. They have a crib for my baby!
Verified traveler (8/5): Great place to stay at - Island hopping tour from hotel isn't as cheap as those on the mainland. But the crew makes sure everyone is taken care off and having great fun
Scuba (2/5): - Terrible is an under statement. Staff was constantly lying. Told me their sim card burned up and that's why they failed to pick me and my fiancé up at the ferry. Went to their bar on coron proper, staff was clueless. After many many hours we got to the hotel...a total dump. Door handles were made from toilet paper holders, the steps had risers on them of about 18", I'm pretty fit and had trouble going up these steps. NO HOT WATER!!!!, It took the staff about 1 1/2 hours to get the water even running..."it's on" they kept telling me. Forget hot water you're not getting it. Lots of bugs inside the room, not just a few but many, many! Totally worn out beds, cupped in the middle. The fans were extremely noisy and were never cleaned, filled with dust and cobwebs. Filipinos are generally clean freaks and keep things tidy...this is run by some dude "Alan" and Englishman and it's dirty. He told me that they were the only dive center authorized to dive the wrecks...SERIOUSLY!!!!! I'm not kidding you. EXTREMELY OVERPRICED! This place might have had it's day in the sun but, now is run down and dilapidated. Even the landscaping was withering and dying. Oh, had some drunk dude try to get into the room at 3am, he stopped when I told him he had the wrong room and better move on. Another thing, you had to jimmy the doors to get them to shut and lock, I don't think anything was plumb or level in this dive. I didn't dive with them based upon the first night. Terrible place!!
Verified traveler (8/5): Very Good Quiet Location - The resort is very good yet could be better with additional activities to do aside from staying in the swimming pool and/or drinking. Additional activities can be introduced and scheduled for the week such as karaoke nights, cooking lessons of local foods, special presentations by the staff, zumba or other dancing exercises, games for the kids like crafts, tie die shirt painting, face painting, These will encourage the guests to stay in the resort and not cross to town. Also, other delicious food choices in the town can be found at lesser prices than the resort.
Verified traveler (6/5): Location and Staff - The island itself is very enjoyable, including the rides to and from. The problems occurred when talking about the staff and the room though. Some of the staff seemed to not want to waste their time with your questions let alone help. The bed was about the same as the floor in terms of comfort. If you like a hard bed this is the place for you. The breakfast took 45 mins to make a ham and cheese panini.... 45 mins.
Daisy (6/5): Calm and Relaxing Hotel - My sister and I checked in to the hotel with surprised because it is near to the beach . Discovery Divers Resort is the kind of hotel we were looking for , so relaxing and calm away from noise pollution , totally stress free . The staff are so friendly and deliver their services beyond their capacity. I will come back to this hotel and will recommend to friends and family.
Rdon (6/5): Surprisingly good food! - My family and some friends booked this island hotel on our last night in Coron since all the other reputable hotels were fully booked. We enjoyed Discovery Island Resort and Dive Center since we needed a good rest and some capping activity before flying back home. There is no sandy beach, only mangroves around the island but the view was breathtaking at the third floor where aircon rooms are located, especially if you can get the corner room closest to the sea. The rooms are average but otherwise clean. The food was surprisingly good and the hotel staff were very warm and accommodating.
Chun Siong (8/5): Nice hotel away from town and offer hotel tour - We are pleased to stay at this hotel with my family with 4 kids. The nice thing about the hotel is it is away from the busy Coron town with 5 mins boat ride, quiet and feel exclusive. The hotel offer their own tour package for island hoping which depart from hotel makes it easier and convenient. The staffs are very friendly as well as the tour guides.
Aleli Zandra (10/5): Excellent - Place is quiet and on the separate island.which is good coz away from all the city noise.they have their own boat,so they can drop you off and pick you up anytime when you want to go the town.the staff are very friendly.service is great! They booked our tour,our scuba diving and even our trip to el nido!awesome!
Katherine (8/5): Hidden paradise with 5 star view and service - We loved being on the island, only 15 min from town by boat but totally remote with great view, hospitality, and reasonably priced good food and drinks. MDI divers are there on site and Marcel and Christine can arrange fantastic dive trips. Reeza is a great hostess and can arrange all you need.
