What part of Coron is best to stay?

Coron’s accommodation is split between the convenience of Coron Town Proper on Busuanga Island and the seclusion of private islands like Dimakya. Your decision largely depends on how much boat time you are willing to accept for a sunset beach.

Town hotels vs beachfront resorts

Properties on Busuanga Island, like The Funny Lion in Barangay Poblacion 5, give you walking access to restaurants, tour operators, and the public market. Corto del Mar Hotel on Comeseria Street is another central town option with an 8.8/10 Expedia rating. On the other end, island resorts like Discovery Coron (located on Dimakya Island, roughly 14 miles from the town center) require a boat transfer but offer snorkeling, private beaches, and wildlife right on your doorstep. As Destination.com puts it, staying on a private island is “super peaceful but might mean a boat ride to get anywhere.”

The trade-off: Town hotels offer convenience and nightlife; island resorts offer immersion and privacy.

Best hotels near the beach

If waking up to a sea view is non-negotiable, Bacau Bay Coron scores a 9.0/10 on Expedia. Another strong option is Two Seasons Coron Island Resort—rated 8.9/10 on Momondo—which functions as a full island resort with direct water access.
