Discovery Coron (formerly Club Paradise Palawan)

Marvelous view and got to see so many wild creatures. Might feel lonely if you are traveling solo.

The resort was on an isolated island. Took 20-min car ride from the airport and 45-min boat ride from the port to the island. Our room was supposed to be ocean view, just right behind the sunrise villas. Unfortunately, the trees have grown high & hardly can we see the ocean. So best to go to the beach and enjoy the sceneries there. Not worth paying extra, unless it's sunset villa. Breakfast was acceptable, but in-room dining service need improvement. Especially, the cleaning up part. The swimming pool is under maintenance and I thought seafood & sashimi would be good, but nope, which is a bit extra disappointing. However, the general experience was good since the staffs are very nice and polite. We received different types of local snacks daily and turned out the kitchen made Filipinos food better than international ones. For morning hiking to Eagle Point, it's not really worth it, unless you have a drone to have 360-degree view. Intended to rate 3.8/5, but I got to see the sea turtle so 4/5 ~

Positive - The wildlife, nature and the island self. - Warm welcome with welcome drink - Happy hour and sunset and seeing the fruit bats flying to the other island. - Staff of Happy hour, hike guide, ICT, technic pick up and drop off service from the hotel. - Boat ride - Eco friendly - Detail of complimentary sweets and message of sweet dreams - ocean view suite Negative -value for money -outdated graden suite and smell -restaurant and food quality. I ended eating only the breakfast and deep friend fish as dinner. -staff at front office, not everyone gave a hospitality welcome feeling. - A not working reward program, and the front office only replying that I can try it again next time when I come back to the hotel. Did even make an attempt to look in what was or went wrong. Even by writing feedback on the 2 in their book for the “manager” to read - unfortunately I needed to book an extend night because there was no more flight available back to Manila. They wanted me to get out of the room and wait till 15:00pm to enter the other room. - Their rule is that you can check in on 15pm, we arrived on the first day with a group of like 16 people, around 11:00am. We were not allow the go to our room yet, but at 15:00pm we needed to go to the front office by ourself to ask to go to our room, and that ended that we could receive our luggages at 15:40pm in the room. -WhatsApp that I send before my arrival has never been answered - Hospitality is not top tier yet for the value of money, some improvements need to be make.

Incredible location on a small island with only this hotel on it. White beaches and crystal water make it a real paradise. Staff is super friendly and helpful. We loved the wild animals (bats and lizards) and enjoyed the “Jurassic Park” feeling of free nature experience. The pick up was super smooth and what a beautiful arrival on the boat up the river! A lot of families with kids by the pool so avoid that and enjoy the beach which is mostly empty and indeed the best part of this place.

This was actually my first time at Club Paradise. The sand was great very fine. It was calm going there but my boat ride going back was really wavy but that was okay. I love staying at the newly built ocean view rooms, very spacious very modern, but quite a walk especially when you’re drunk. LOL! The sunset standard villa on the other hand is very cramped, you don’t have much space to put your luggage to but at least you have a great view and closer to everything. Food is okay. Not good but not bad either. Pricey for the taste but since there’s no other restaurant on the island, nothing to compare it to. I suggest the 15min eagle point hike. Start walking at 5:30am.
