Coron Island Mountain Vacations

My wife and I first visited Discovery Coron (then Club Paradise) in May 2013. 5 stars, nothing but praise at that time, for the facilities, staff, restaurant, and beaches. We returned in April 2022, and what a change. In my review then, I pointed out problems with the staff in terms of communications and ability to provide service, in pre-trip arrangements, at reception, and at the restaurant. The facilities needed maintenance, the grounds needed cleaning. Our room was in poor condition. The island was still beautiful and tranquil, but it was such a disappointment to see the changes to a previously wonderful resort. After that review I was contacted by the General Manager, Mr. Joegil Escobar. I felt his was an honest response and that he understood the need for improvement. From recent reviews, it seemed that most of the problems had been addressed; Discovery Coron again seemed like a good place to visit, this time with my son and his family, including our 3-year old grandson. We could not have been happier with our choice to return. From excellent communications post booking, to our airport pickup, reception, service from the staff, everything was easy and wonderful. The happy and welcoming spirit was back with the staff. We, and especially our toddler, were treated wonderfully. The facilities are again in top shape, our room was well cared for and very clean. Both food and service in the restaurant were well enjoyed. Same for the PADI dive shop and Glow spa. Well done!

The place is not an option for anybody with asthma or COPD. The tents are extremely moldy and the air is thick with it. We checked in and stayed less than 5 minutes in the room before moving to another hotel. No discount or other combination was offered

First off , the staff.. so so amazing. I had gotten food poisoning from a tour I did, and they were so helpful keeping me hydrated and had tablets to let me enjoy my vacation. The food options were great, many options. This can just be your stay without ever visiting town. The view was jaw dropping everyday. Aircon was strong , even had to turn it off it got so cold. Room was well kept , and no issues with mosquitos unless you kept door open. Cons might be the cost of getting into town, cost 2.5k per way. So plan for that cost as fuel prices are taking a toll on transport. Also there is a 22 percent tax on all food, but the prices of food are cheap enough that you don’t notice. The complaints I see online don’t seem fair. They are very misguided. This is a five star stay. They have great activities , and amazing amazing spa. Only $15 for the top massage for 2 hours and scrub. I will stay here again, only difference is I’ll rent a car as you are hour outside of coron town.
