[2024 Coron Stay] Travel Guide for Club Paradise Palawan (Updated Oct)
Club Paradise Palawan, a hidden gem you must visit!
Discover the hidden paradise of Palawan: Club Paradise Hotel experience 🌴
Palawan, a place like a paradise on earth, where I was fortunate enough to stay at the Club Paradise Hotel. It was not just an ordinary trip, but a spiritual journey. The hotel is located on Dimakya Island, a perfect example of a one-island-one-hotel concept, secluded and pristine, as if isolated from the world. 🏝️
🌅 Room type/layout: I chose the Garden Suite, which was reasonably priced and spacious, at 1,600 per night, including breakfast for two. The room was not only large but also clean, with a wide view, and just a minute's walk to the white sandy beach to feel the sea breeze.
🛏 Room amenities: The room facilities were simple and practical, the bedding was comfortable, and I could sleep well every night. The bathroom amenities were complete and kept very clean, with plenty of toiletries replaced daily.
🚌 Transportation tips: Transfer from Manila to Coron Busuanga Airport (USU), the hotel provides pick-up service, and then transfer to the pier, the whole process is worry-free.
🍽️ Dining features: The hotel has 7 restaurants and 6 bars, with a wide variety. Especially the seafood buffet dinner, the aroma of barbecue wafting with the sea breeze, makes you hungry. Three meals for two adults and one child cost a total of 7,500 pesos, including tax and service charge, which is very cost-effective.
👨👩👧👦 Family experience: The beach is soft, the sea is clear, and children can collect shells and play with conch shells, making it a great place for family travel.
🏞️ Nearby attractions: The island not only has beautiful beaches but also native friends like lizards and bats. If you're lucky, you might even encounter turtles and small sharks while snorkeling.
🌟 Hotel features: Every moment here is a unique experience, whether it's enjoying private time in the sunset villa or feeling the gifts of nature in the seaside cabin, it makes you yearn for more.
Tips: The signal on the island may be unstable, but the wireless network is well covered. If you want a better signal, you can choose a cabin near the beach.
Club Paradise Hotel gave me an unforgettable vacation, with surprises everywhere. From free snorkeling and kayaking to hiking, every activity brought me closer to nature. It's not just a vacation paradise, but a haven for the soul. 🌊🌺
