Hotels in Malbato, Coron

"Check-in was easy and the reception staff were extremely helpful, which made a great first impression. However, the experience at the pool bar was disappointing. The bartender seemed unmotivated and lacked attention to detail. There was a promotion advertised at 480 PHP for a buy-one-get-one cocktail, yet we were asked to pay 500 PHP. It’s a small difference, but honesty matters and would likely be rewarded with tips. Some alcohol options were unavailable, which limited choices. When I asked if a cocktail could be made using local rum or whisky instead of brandy, the request was refused without much explanation. When the drinks arrived, most of our group felt they lacked alcohol and tasted more like juice. On a positive note, dinner at the poolside restaurant was enjoyable. There was live music creating a great atmosphere, the food was nice, and the bartender there was very helpful. After we mentioned the issue with the cocktails, he listened, took note, and made sure the next ones were much better. The location itself seems like it has seen better days. Around the pool area, some wooden planks need repair, with nails sticking out that could be a safety hazard. Overall, a mixed experience with strong service at reception and restaurant, but improvements needed at the pool bar and maintenance."

"Nice place to stay, staff are excellent. Definitely would stay again"

"The staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ok. There was one day when we did not have water because they had to fix the pump or something. That was not ok."

"Breakfast is ok, service is terrible, staff are rude. Karaoke is very noisy at night. If u want to have a good sleep avoid this place. Smells sewerage, stray cats. Pier Bar is scenic during sunset. I would not recommend this place, it’s not worth the money I paid for. "

"Beautiful island resort. Prepare for 45 min drive from Busuanga airport to Coron town and then 45 min boat ride to resort. Transfers were well organized and efficient. If doing island hopping tours-consider staying at the sister resort in town-less expensive to do from town resort. That said, we arranged for island hopping tour which was a must do-snorkeling, kayaking, lovely authentic meal. Seaview bungalow was well appointed with great view. Breakfast buffet was varied and plentiful. The Nara Spa was a highlight with fantastic massages. A wonderful 4 night stay in paradise with great snorkeling off the beach."

"Great value"
