coron: untouched paradise

BANOL BEACH, yung nsa likod taga singil ng entrance fee, ng emote! hehe

KAYANGAN LAKE

LOCATION:  CORON, palawan (may 2009)

EPALS:  

Coron is one paradise that is almost undiscovered, a place for relaxation...a truly an escape to the hustle and bustle of manila. In fact, it is one of my favorite place to visit in the Phils. 

BANOL BEACH

I fell inlove with the people and the simplicity of the place. Feeling ko, this is the safest place to visit if you're alone. The natives dont overcharged tourists, i think the whole of palawan. There are few bars, restaurants and turo-turo all over the town.

No five star facilities are to be found in the area, nung magpunta ako, ni hndi pa nagooperate ang kaisa isang ATM machine, but i heard now meron na. The whole town can be reach by foot kaya mapapansin halos walang jeepney at tricycle.

Tips:

Dahil mahirap ang transportation sa Coron, it's better to book your transpo from busunga airport to coron town and vice versa. Seriously, pag naiwan ka ng van, siguradong maiiwan ka rin ng eroplano dahil wala nang susunod na biyahe. What's good thing about Coron, lahat ng Van driver, iniikot ang mga hotels/motels to make sure walang passenger na maiiwan. I remember, busuanga airport is on top of the hill, pababa ng COron town, puro bukid at sapa ang dinadaanan...after 45 mins flight, relaxing travel down the hill.. haaist...kakamiss..

Very limited ang options when it comes to accomodations, i recommend PATRICK'S guesthouse, they charged P300 and up. Anyways, you wont find any beach accomadations in Coron so i guess you wouldnt mind much on how nice your room would be, as long as its clean and comfortable, ayos na!

The best way to go around the attractions of Coron is to book the " 1 day coron loop" there are i think 8 areas to visit, banol beach,kayangan lake,CYC,baracuda lake etc.etc. They charge pretty cheap included pa ang lunch at tour guide. May mga bagong friends pa sigurado! there are a bunch of island hopping available, merong zafari, ship wrecked etc. If you have the time and budget spend a week to go around the whole island. Ako kasi, 3 days lang, and i think the most important island hopping to book ay yung coron loop.

BUDGET:

For a 3 day/2 nights, i spent less than P5000 including airfare via Cebupacificair. (take note, i only buy promo flights, this time i got P973, round trip) Food can cost you P50 and up per meal, t-shirts are P120. Accomodations from P300-1,200. Airport transfer P200 one way. Coron loop island hopping P1,300.
