"The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent - great family-style Filipino fare. View of the river was unmatched. For a cheaper, slightly older hotel, we couldn't fault anything. "
"Place is really nice and clean, staff are accomodating and nice..highly suggested for solo, barkada and family. Quality of food is better than any restaurants. Clean, safe and you pay what you get"
"Une expérience unique à vivre. Le concept est incroyable, la plage privée et le personnel est très serviable, à l’écoute et souriant. Je recommande fortement!"
"I stayed here while diving with Pirate Divers. There is a dive shop associated with the resort but I did not use it. Picked up every morning from the dock to go diving. "
"Loved our stay. Thank you Jenny, Judy and their families for taking care of us. Very peaceful spot, basic but comfortable, great food and excellent access to dive sites and the northern side of the island. This is an extremely quiet part of Basuanga Island, so be prepared with cash and a good book. "

"Fantastic villa with an incredible view of the bay, very helpful host/concierge services and great restaurant options (nearby or over the bay via convenient boat options). Would highly recommend."

"We wanted to “get away” and that’s what we got at La Estancia. We get to spend quality time with family. The resort catered to our needs.
PROS:
>They offer airport to resort to airport transfers for a fee if less than 8 persons but if you are a group of 8, the van is free. We were a group of 16, so we only paid for the second van.
>The resort offers private island lifestyle and offer breakfast/lunch/dinner for an extra charge (very reasonable pricing, mostly Filipino food menu)
> Private beach
> Free use of kayaks
> Seaview rooms with private balconies
> Wonderful staff (special mention to Nanay Auie, Ate Aiza, Ma’am Meryl and our drivers)
> Clean rooms
> La Estancia can book your island hopping and Coron activities and coordinate with trusted tour agencies (they made sure we enjoyed and were safe with our Coron tour)
> They can make you lunch picnic for your island hopping for a separate fee (again very reasonable pricing and delicious fresh food/drinks). Our family went to Black Island and Debotunay Island
CONS:
> Far from town proper ( 1.5 from airport/ 2 hrs to Coron), so if you want night life, this is not your kind of resort
> Internet was slow (but then again, if you want to get away…)this was just fine for us. My son was still able to log on and take his summer online classes/tests.
> As of July 2025, they don’t take major credit cards ( they take cash, money transfers thru paypal/gcash) My advise is to please ask resort for updates before your stay.

"careful of the sugar/black ants, unavoidable but definitely no open food in the room and will be fine, they don't bite at least.
other than that it was great. nice and quiet and a good escape from the city for a while. island hopping was reasonably priced and shorter boat ride away compared to other resorts. diving courses and tours offered for both novice and experienced divers which are excellent."
"This property was amazing!!! The staff are SUPER FRIENDLY and always greeted you with a smile 😃 The beach and the water was sooo pristine! You can see everything in that beautiful clear ocean water! It was also great that they had kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling gear available to use with out additional costs. Lastly the sunset at Discovery Coron was unreal especially when the fruit bats started to migrate to other islands during sunset! All the guest at the Discovery Coron came out to watch the most beautiful sunset as well as the bat. Thank you Discovery Coron for such a wonderful and most memorable experience/stay!! My husband and I will definitely come back!! "

"Fantastic and budget friendly. Rooms are great. Very clean and well equipped. Restaurant has a great menu and the chef is excellent. Infinity pool is to die for. You’re can be accessed from the report. The lodge is isolated, so be prepared to eat in the area or the hotel across the way! "
