Liked the views overlooking the bay especially during sunset. The rooms were unique and very private and peaceful,so could relax at our own leisure .
Enjoyed the swimming pool and also the food was delicious.
The main concern was getting to the location as there wasn’t much choice of transport from the airport or to Coron Town excepting using the resort’s transport .
The other issue being that our toilet was behind an open wall in the room , which is a privacy matter especially for my partner and rather embarrassing .
Also getting to the resort required walking up a long series of steps , but worth the effort once arriving at the resort and being greeted by the Al Faro staff with a welcome greeting.

Bungalows were very cute
Bed was very comfortable
The pool over looking the water
The amazing sunset
The friendly accommodating staff
Reasonable priced private boat tours
The location - the view over the water just spectacular
This point didn’t bother me but-
May not be the place for somebody with bed knees as it situated on a hill and had steep steps

One of my best accommodations. Beautiful view from the room, excellent cleaning and reasonably priced food. This hotel is perfect for couples. Very friendly and collaborative treatment by the staff that works there. Great trips arranged by the hotel as a group or private. We were greeted by a cocktail and welcome singing from the staff gathered, super cute! Transfer from the airport cost 2000 PHP. I managed to step on a sea urchin in Bohol - thanks to the staff for treating my wounds. Thanks for all! I plan to visit this place again sometime in the future.

Es ist wirklich ein ganz besonderer Ort mit liebevollen Details überall. Wann sonst konnte ich mit Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang über dem Meer duschen? Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und äußerst freundlich, das Essen ist gut. Wir haben eine Schnorchel-Tour gebucht, das war eines unserer Highlights. Auch die kostenlosen Kajaks sind super, um die Bucht ein wenig zu erkunden. Besonders gut fanden wir auch die Ruhe und Privatsphäre, die man im Bungalow hat. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder, wenn wir nochmal nach Coron reisen!
Für meinen Mann hätten die Portionen beim Essen teilweise etwas größer sein dürfen 😊

It’s an exceptional, unique hotel.
When in the Tower room, there was no escape from the afternoon sun. Nowhere to sit in the shade in the beautiful gardens either.

Un havre de paix à Busuanga ! Le personnel est adorable, les sorties de island hopping organisées de qualités. Le cadre est somptueux, et la cuisine vaut le coup !

Arrivée en bateau pour rejoindre l’hôtel.
Une fois à l’hôtel, il faut prendre le bateau pour tout déplacement.
Pas de climatisation, les nuits étaient bouillantes.

Small , friendly well managed with good accommodation and spectacular views.
Not a place to stay if you have mobility issues, the approach from the dock is very steep.

Se buscas unas vacaciones relajantes y apartadas dal tráfico de Coron, este es tu sitio. Muy buena posición, a pesar de que se llega solo con lancha. Las excursiones están muy bien organizadas y todas merecen la pena, ya que visitas también islas que no están explotadas. La piscina con vistas al mar es espectacular y promete atardeceres únicos
Simplemente un poco incomodo por las escaleras, debidas al desnivel de la colina.

This was incredible!!! The best accommodation I've stay in during my 2 weeks in Philippines. It's not extremly expensive but it is absolutely insane. Everything is literally perfect. Beautiful pool with the view, the garden, flowers everywhere, attentive staff, perfect food and drinks, OMG I liked it sooo much. I need to get back definitely again!!
We came late at midnight by rented scooter and we missed the arrow to the boat, which takes you to the hotel. It was a bit complicated to find it, but it's marked on google maps (gotel, but also the pier to board the "Ferry").
The bigger problem was that they told us we should contact them so that they can send a boat for us, but we had no phone signal so there were no option how to contact them. We came to the hotel (resort) 2 minutes away and they called them for us, fortunatelly. But this is not perfect, maybe I've just had bad SIM card company.

everything is just high standard. the staff is beyond adorable and will sort all your doubts and problems. the food was wonderful and we didn’t find it was too expensive after being in El Nido. I highly recommend their risotto and All the fishes on the menu as well as the Filipino breakfast. room 2 had the most breathtaking view over the bay, the swimming pool also has the best view. the room seemed to have everything we needed. I got a 2hrs massage there that was wonderful. they sorted our diving session with pirates diving that’s just in front and it was such a good choice. I really think the prices in the hotel are correct and worth it for this high quality service on everything.
i was aware but you have to climb up a few stairs in that heat so be prepared. they do wait for you with juice when you arrive after that climb!

Incredible Sunset views. Beautiful panorama of the bay. The pool and restaurant overlooked the views.Rooms were basic, but nicel. The whole resort is uniquely designed and a continual exercise workout. (Being built on a steep slope)
Wasn't highlighted that rooms were without aircon, recommend to avoid peak summer months. Many of the menu items were expensive, given the quality. Really, there were no options, but to eat at the hotel, given the 35-minute drive and Php 4,000.00 pesos round trip van rental charge to get to Coron Town. Island (VAN) Transport costs are VERY HIGH.

Exceptionally beautiful place. Our bungalow was very nice, tastefully decorated, and clean. There is no AC but it was not a problem. The swimming pool area is also very nice, with a beautiful view of the sunset. The staff was extremely kind and helpful (they even helped us organised a cheaper transfer to Coron town via public bus). You can book dives and tours from the hotel. The food was also pretty good (we especially liked the breakfast - which unfortunately is not included). The hotel has a few kayaks that you can borrow, which is a nice plus.
The hotel is quite isolated, which is what makes it special, but it also means you are kind of stuck there for meals (although they do offer a free boat shuttle to get to the other side). It’s also quite far from Coron town, about a 40 minutes drive. The hotel arranges private transfers for 2000 pesos, but if you can get on the public bus, it’s 250 pesos per person!

This accommodation exceeded ALL our expectations! Stunning view, beautiful room&terrace, great food and vibe. We loved the staff, so kind and friendly. A place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Busuanga
Remember that this is quite far from Coron Town and you are quite secluded (but thats what we wanted so just take note) so it can be expensive to get there and back from CoronTown. But we will gladly do it again!!! Cant really say that we didnt like something, we loved this place!

amazing hotel located on a small island. good food and lovely swimming pool. the views from our room in the tower were stunning. staff very attentive.
we booked a bungalow with sea view but were up in the tower with lovely views. so we were not in the room we paid for. response was that the hotel was fully booked.
10.0
Absolutely stunning hotel in the most idyllic location. A real paradise. We stayed 4 nights and I was a bit worried we would start to feel too isolated by the end but actually I could happily have stayed a full week. The food is generally a good quality with a lot of different types of options- we had lobster, paella, grilled fish which were all delicious as well as good snack-y options at lunch.
The views and sunsets are magical and the massages were pretty good- we had one every day.
Staff are lovely. We didn’t do any tours from there as we had done them in the earlier days of our stay in the town centre but they offer all the main ones and, again in hindsight I would have skipped staying in town and done the tours from this hotel instead.
Honestly, especially for the price, this is one of the best places I’ve stayed I loved it. It’s not necessarily luxurious, but the location and relaxing vibe are unbeatable and the bungalows are very private so you really feel switched off from the world when you’re there.
The bed was a little hard for my liking (hence needing daily massages to straighten my back back out!) but really just a minor point and I wouldn’t say detracted from our stay. Similarly as other reviews mention you can get a few bugs in the room due to the bungalows being somewhat open between the roof and walls but if you want to be in a remote paradise (at this price point!) it comes with the territory. I actually only got one mosquito bite the whole time so it wasn’t a nuisance.

Incredible views & location on a peninsula in the middle of a bay. Quite remote which for us was a good thing as we wanted to escape the usual busy, tourist areas. Food & drinks are on the expensive side for the Philippines but when you consider the location and how great the food was this didn’t really matter (Best food in our 2 weeks travelling around Coron). We originally booked 2 nights but stayed for 3 then went away but decided to come back as nowhere else we stayed even came close. All staff and owner provided amazing service which can’t be said for other places we stayed in Coron! To get to the hotel you’re collected by a speed boat from the other side of the bay then during your stay you can ask to be dropped off and picked up anytime you want. They also offer boat trips and have a lot of useful information about Coron and the surrounding islands. kayaks that are free to use and the bay is a really beautiful place to paddle around and explore
Due to the remote location (surrounded by nature) it’s advisable to bring insect repellent

We stayed at Al Faro for three nights and loved it! We were put up in the highest room in the tower which gave amazing views of the surrounding areas, a perfect spot to sip on a happy hour drink and watch the sunset. Staff were super friendly and helpful and will sort out any activity you want to do. We did a day of diving with Pirate Divers across the bay which was great! They also offer private island tours (5500-6000 pesos) and have a free kayak to use.
The rooms are open air with a fan that you can use if you want a bit of a breeze - you definitely don't need air-conditioning! There's no hot water so showers are nice and refreshing. Everything is solar powered and there's free cold water you can refill your bottle with. Eco points!
Wifi worked well, and the food was tasty (breakfast dishes were 350 pesos and lunch/dinner options were in the 300-700 range). They have happy hour drinks (San Miguel, rum coke, gin tonic all in the 75-100 pesos range) every day 3-7pm.
Highly recommend this place, it's very special and we will definitely remember it for years to come! :)
It would be nice if breakfast could be included in the cost of the room rates.
