Palawan, Philippines
Coron Town is where the island-hopping tours leave from, so most of the best-rated stays sit in or just outside it — plus one island resort for when you want to disappear entirely. Here are six that consistently earn strong reviews.

The original Funny Lion, and still the standout boutique stay in Coron. It sits on the edge of town wrapped in greenery, with a safari-modern look and the Pride Rock deck bar that pulls people up for sunset over the bay. The rooms are stylish, but it's the staff guests mention most. You'll want a quick tricycle for the town restaurants — a small price for the calm and the view.
Traveler favorite
If you want to be in town but still have sea views and a pool, Two Seasons' bayside hotel is the go-to — the polished, dependable option, with a tour desk that sorts your island hopping and a bay-facing pool to come home to. It suits couples and families who'd take convenience over seclusion.
Best in-town
Bacau Bay is one of Coron's smarter in-town resorts, and its trump card is a private dock — you roll out of bed and onto your island-hopping boat without the morning scramble. Contemporary rooms, a good pool, and Mount Tapyas nearby. A solid pick if easy tour logistics are what you care about.
Best for island hopping
For the island-resort fantasy, Discovery Coron (the former Club Paradise) delivers — a boat ride from town onto its own beach, a house reef for snorkeling straight off the sand, and sunsets at Paradise Beach. It's a splurge, and you're committing to resort dining and boat transfers, but that's the whole point: you came to switch off, not nip into town.
Best island escape
Right in the heart of Coron town, Corto del Mar is the reliable mid-ranger — clean, comfortable, walkable to the restaurants and the port, with a small pool to cool off after Mount Tapyas. It's not a resort and doesn't pretend to be; it's a well-run town base that keeps guests happy.
Reliable all-rounder
Coron's best-known backpacker base — a hillside setting, a pool with a view, and the easy social crowd you want when you're travelling solo. Rooms are basic and it's a short ride from the town center, but for the price and the atmosphere it's the backpacker default.
