Hotels near Banana Island, Palawan

Clean and comfortable hotel in good location with very helpful manageress and great staff. The location and positive reviews were the main reason I booked this hotel and I was not disappointed. Spacious, clean and comfortable room, with comfortable bed, efficient air con and decent bathroom. Very good value for money. They were also able to arrange private transport for me from the hotel to the airport as I didn’t want a repeat of the shared ride from the airport, where the transport companies cram as many people and bags as possible into the one van. There is no in-room safe provided, but the manageress told me they will be installed in the future. I was able to put my valuables in a signed and sealed envelope which the manageress looked after safely without issues (many thanks). There were a couple of minor glitches during my stay, but these were resolved to my satisfaction and I have nothing but praise for both the property and the manageress. Hotel is a short walk from the centre of town and although Coron is a bit boring at night, the town has everything you need. The terrain around Coron town has a lot of hills, so there is no escaping them when walking around, but I didn’t find it an issue.

I've stayed in this hotel before, and I keep returning since it's affordable, safe, and has decent rooms and a spacious parking lot—features that other hotels in Palawan lack.I've recently noticed that they no longer offer airport service, although they have contacts for taxi drivers in case you need one. However, it would be great if they could add the airport pickup and drop-off once more for a hassle-free trip, especially for those visiting Palawan for the first time .Being somewhat honest, some taxis, vans, and tricycles take advantage of tourists by charging them more than the normal.

The place was a little ways out so you gotta have everything you need handy. They can get a tricycle for you but those charge exorbitant prices. We arrived about 30 mins. earlier so it was understandable that the room was still being prepared. But that I had to ask the staff if the room was ready a little past 2PM before they directed us to our room was Strike 1 for me. The family room was large so we enjoyed having our ”own space” within the room. It was also very near the pool (the window by my bed opens to it) so watching the kids was easy. The pool, however, was a real downer when you book the place online and you came for the pool (like what my daughter did). It looked really nice in the picture and the actual pool was, well, a pool; and the chlorine in the water was overwhelming. That was Strike 2. I didn't even bother to go in. Come dinnertime, we ordered our meal. It tasted good BUT they only had one platter of rice ready at such a time! We had to stop and wait for the second platter of rice. Can you imagine having to stop in the middle of your meal because you have to wait for the additional rice, that is a Filipino meal staple by the way. I can let that slide because you can choose to chat with the family and pick on the grilled stuffed squid while waiting. My breakfast platter, however, was a very oily number. I had bacon, eggs and toasted bread (with butter and jam). But we'll let that slide too. Upon checkout, I requested for receipts for our in-house meals. It was my way of verifying the cost of dinner because the amount relayed to me did not add right as opposed to what I computed from the menu when I placed the order and had it charged to the room. I was thinking maybe the additional fees and service charge added up and all that. The lady at the counter took forever (an exaggeration, of course) and was doing a side thing addressing someone who seems to be an employee but not in uniform at the time. A PWD walking with a cane as I am, I reached a point where I could no longer tolerate standing on pretty much one leg so I told her that I will leave my daughter to wait for the receipts while I take a seat at the tricycle they called for us since their van was not around. She was told that we should have given advance notice if we wanted receipts. I'm a bit taken aback because that has always been ready for me in the places I've been too. Don't they automatically prepare receipts for issuance after an order has been served and set for room charge? Those were dinner and breakfast and we checked out at 12nn. They had ample time to prepare it unless they had no intention to issue the receipts. That was definitely Strike 3 for me...and so this review. This may seem like a rant but I really just want the matter addressed. The place has potential but the customer service needs to improve. Whatever fell short of expectations in the amenities department could have easily been made up for by excellent cus

For a budget hotel - it's ok. There is a cooler with hot/cold water, you can book excursions directly from the hotel. But the air conditioners - these old noisy ”monsters” are everywhere 🤦♂️ and the staff is positive, responsive 👍

The place is very comfortable. We stayed here for three nights and I must say that this place is awesome. The receptionists are very helpful and they always make our room tidy. Keep up the good work!

I went for the fourth place in the high-end hotel in Cologne and booked two nights. On the first night, I heard something calling in the room, but there was no sound during the day. At first I thought it was a frog, but I found out it was a gecko-like animal when I asked the front desk. It was in the room, and the recording called once every 12 minutes on average. I went to the front desk and was told that the room was full and there was no room for me to change. Reluctantly, I fell asleep in the middle of the night while recording, fearing and sleepy, and woke up early to go to sea. When I came back in the afternoon, my wet clothes hadn’t been changed yet. I finally got to change a room for me, but soon found that the air conditioner wasn’t cooling. How could this work? I got someone to overhaul it and it still doesn't cool down. More than an hour passed before and after, and I was in a panic. I ended up having to shower out of the room with the animals and finally the supervisor upgraded us to another room. In any case, thanks for the supervisor's handling of the problem. But I always have a problem, there are animal sounds and the air conditioner is not cooling in the room, is it

The Beach House at Ocam Ocam is a gem with exceptional 5 star service. Even before I arrived, the communication was excellent, making me feel secure as a solo female traveler. The property and structure is beautifully crafted by a talented local foreman using native materials. The furnishings speak of laid-back island luxury and the bedding and towels were of great quality. As a person who must work even while on holiday, the fast and reliable WiFi was greatly appreciated. The beach itself is one of the best on the island that you can access by land. While it is quite far away from nightlife, I didn’t mind since that is typically what I prefer. Ocam Ocam is a special place, as are the people who call it home. The staff went above an BEYOND anything I could ever ask for. I can’t thank you all enough. The friendly dogs were an added welcomed bonus.

Quite location just across elementary school, just a few meters walk to the beach and shops and eatery. We arrived 2hrs early and surprised Our room was already ready. The room is well laid out and plenty of closet for your belongings. We were on the 3rd floor and no elevator, the staffs did carried our luggages Overall we are happy with our stayed in the hotel

Hotel location is very good, very close to the dive shop I booked, the hotel pool is very beautiful and clean, the door is the beach 🏖️ The breakfast is super rich, especially the fresh egg yo, the dinner can also be eaten here, the price is better than the town, but also the night view, just on the beach

It's not a good idea to travel alone. You pay a deposit first, and the necessary expenses are paid from it, so you don't have to pay anything during your stay.Also, you can generally be satisfied with the activities included in the hotel plan, so there is no need to make reservations. You can truly forget about the world. Please note that transportation must be booked up to three days in advance, and activities must be booked up to the day before. It seems that the marine plants and animals on the beach in front of the hotel are being carefully protected and nurtured, and there are signs of regeneration. Even now, there are various plants and animals in that narrow cove, which can be seen from the pier, and is a great place to snorkel or dive. It is very fun. The air conditioning is so comfortable that you almost forget you're in the Philippines. There is also hot water in the bathroom. Above all, the staff are very hardworking and I would like to hear about what kind of employee training they do. The activities are also very interesting. Meals change daily. I think it's delicious for the Philippines. (In general, the food is better in Thai-Vietnamese food. I have the ingredients, so why not?) I wanted to get back the frying pan and make the omelet myself. If I give you the recipe for dessert, will you make it for me? )g The only thing is that the drainage system is weak, and there is an ammonia smell in the shower room. This is a common problem throughout the Philippines, and may be a fundamental problem with the piping system or construction technology.
