Corto del Mar Hotel

location is perfect just few block for a market and walking distance to the marina we're the boats for excursion is dock and load. The hotel accomodations is just basic small bed low and very thin mattress, pillow and blanket is excellent soft, water supply is abundant although electricity us intermitent on and off, our aircondition unit has been affected that doesn't giving cold air glad it was just out last night. pool is beautiful and cleaned , food for breakfast is superb better and giid quality selection. the staff are very polite and respectful, very helpful and get job done as much as possible, they pack a sandwich breakfast for us as we have early trip to El Nido that was very nice if rhem. The water supply is not drinkable so they provide bottled water and you can ask for a refill. They will give you a welcome drink of a fruit drink. This is really a good location, my only dislike is the bed, as it's very small when they say twin bed it is a twin bed, other than that it's ok. Yes its more pricey compare to the sorrounding hotel but the food and pool are the best.

Corto del Mar is a stunning hotel with beautiful Spanish-inspired architecture. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure guests feel well taken care of. The overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your stay. Highly recommended!

I absolutely enjoyed staying at this Hotel, from the time I arrived the staff has been nothing but accommodating and extremely nice, the rooms are comfortable and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay in the Island. The hotel has free wifi, fridge, safety deposit box, a wonderful working full bath, comfy beds, a nice pool and a few rooms with a view...and yeah! It's eco-friendly, your card key basically operates all the electricity in your room by inserting it in a central control box in your room, when you leave to do your daily adventures, overall power in your room gets turned off (it could be a bummer though if you leave a laptop or iPad to charge) but oh well, you came here for leisure & pleasure not to work right? Overall this hotel has many of the creature comforts one would ever need to have a wonderful vacay, it's very close to town and to many local establishments, proximity to the main dock for your Island adventure is not that far, it is only a "tricycle" away. If you book a package like mine, a van will take you to all the places in your itinerary. Oh, One more thing, typical vacation packages for this hotel includes breakfast vouchers - they do have a delicious selection of breakfast from American, continental and traditional Filipino dishes, I do love their bar and their friendly bartenders - yup! Must have that alcohol wherever I maybe haha Enjoy your stay at Coron! Have the most amazing time!

We were a bit dubious upon arrival as the hotel is located down a dark unmarked laneway but were then pleasantly surprised by the welcoming ambience of the entrance which encompasses reception, the restaurant and outlook onto the large pool. Our room on the top floor was large with a balcony both front and back and overlooked the residential squalor below and harbour. It seems every family has a rooster and they crow mostly 24 hours per day. Stray dogs are everywhere and they bark throughout the night (this would be common regardless of where you stay in Coron Town). Fortunately the buzzing of our ceiling fan helped to soften some of the noise. I loved the bathroom with its large shower (but often tripped on the stepdown in/out of the bathroom (this needs to be highlighted with a red or fluoro safety *****). The room's aircon worked great. Breakfast offered a number of choices but we both became ill after one morning. We can't pinpoint what it would have been but days later we're still suffering. The pool is fabulous but the old timber lounges need urgent replacement. They are unsightly, uncomfortable, heavy to move, padding is filthy and they can't be adjusted. The grass and garden could also do with attention. Overall, a lovely place to stay and staff were friendly and helpful. If the pool area had been more comfortable I would have rated 5/5.

This place is awesome. Great location. Right in the middle of Coron Town, in walking distance of shops, restaurants and tours. I didn't see any other accommodation at this standard near the town center, so it really stands out. In terms of the hotel itself, the architecture is really cool. Feels like you are staying in a Mexican drug lords mansion. The lagoon style swimming pool is also beautiful and a great place to hang. The highlight for me along with the location. Staff are great. Very friendly and helpful. Rooms are both spacious and clean. Restaurant food and breakfast were solid but not amazing. You could book tours through the hotel. Didn't do any myself but the prices and itineraries looked pretty standard. I personally went to the dock and organised directly with the boatmen. This enabled me to get a more tailored itinerary for a cheaper price. Understand this would be out of the comfort zone of some in which case, the hotel tours are a good option. I did get private transfers to and from the airport with the hotel. These were on time and fairly priced in a nice, air-conditioned van. In terms of opportunities, it would be great if the hotel invested in some new sunbeds. The furniture by the pool is pretty old. Useable but feels close to falling apart and looks poor, particularly next to such an amazing pool. Overall, I had an amazing stay and would thoroughly recommend the Corto Del Mar to anyone coming to Coron. Thanks, and see you next time.

This is an elegant, up-market option near the centre and port of Coron. The common areas of the hotel are attractive and the bedrooms are large and immaculate. The in-house restaurant offers an excellent cooked breakfast and good evening meals. Do not hesitate to stay here if you don't mind spending around Euro 100 a night.

We had 3 nights at the Corto del Mar situated in the heart of the main town and only a few minutes from the ferry and 30 mins to the airport. As many have already reported there are benefits of being the best hotel in town next to the locals, the shops and the restaurants but this is offset by the disadvantages of being the best hotel in town, next the locals, the shops and the restaurants. The rooms are decent and large, the food was ok and most of the staff seemed keen to help. There is a fabulous pool but the furniture and grounds need work and why don’t the bar staff be a bit more active in selling their product ? The hotel has a relationship with a couple of local boats that operate the day trips, ours was a disaster but hopefully they have improved by the time you arrive. Or pick one of the 100 others on offer outside the hotel and at a lower price. Enjoy……

We had 2 nights here - the hotel reception and restaurant is beautiful, lots of wooden structures and furniture and a lovely big pool. Staff - as everywhere in the Philippines - are so lovely. Our room was huge and comfortable. For breakfast there is a buffet as well as freshly cooked eggs/omelettes/pancakes made in front of you, which we thought was great. Very easy to walk to restaurants and bars locally - we would recommend Rapsa Nui food park, great street food and live music. The hotel does overlook the local neighbourhood- which is a great way to get involved, meet the lovely local people and buy some things from them to help the people and animals. Hopefully more people will visit and support, rather than complain.
