Up for another adventure?
This might help you decide :)
 |
| CORON, PALAWAN |
Why Coron? Coron in my own words is amazing. There is no other place on earth ( I mean places I've been to. ) that can match the beauty of it. It is a small peaceful town covering the eastern part of Busuanga Island, that is located at the Northern part of Palawan. People are nice and accommodating. The food is awesome, fresh seafoods & vegetables. Tours can be customized according to your budget. We can say that we got more than what we paid for and surely will be coming back.
Location Map
So lets begin our Trip.
How to get to Terminal 3?
The best option that we got was riding MRT and from Taft Station ( we are unlucky to find a cab so we choose to ride a jeepney with Nicholes/Terminal 3 sign board. For other ways of getting there click this
link.
There will be P200 Terminal Fee so have it ready with Flight confirmation and IDs.
Tips: Check in at least 2 hours before your flight schedule. Believe me, You would not like to go through all the hassle that would ruined your whole trip.
Travel Time
It took us 1 hour to travel by air. Bring some snacks just in case you feel hungry. We just hand carry our stuff to save extra baggage fees, Its still wiser to travel light, with me is my small shoulder bag where I put my camera and valuable things.

Arrival at Busuanga Airport.
As soon as the Pilot announced our arrival we are already astonished on the view that we had. Its Breathtaking :).
For Globe & Sun - No Signal, so I suggest bring SMART sim cards with you so be sure to inform your contact person in Coron for your arrival so they can schedule your Airport Transfers. After taking some picture we went to the exit and find our Van waiting for us. Our names are written on the white board carried by the Driver. Airport Transfers can be arranged before hand or usually provided by your accomodation, It cost
P300.
Mammitas Place
Our main concern in choosing the place were we stayed it the location, the price, and the reviews as well.
Senior Lakwatsero's blog is very helpful to us when we are planning our trip. We decided to stay at Mammita Place because its located at the town area. It cost P700 per night for a room for 2. - w/ TV and AC. The reviews are favorable as well not for the Place but for the service provided by Mammita, owner of the house.

As soon as we arrived Mammita welcomed us. She guided us to our room and later on invited us for a meryenda. We felt at Home already by that time, its like staying at your relatives that you haven't seen for a while. She knows that we are on tight budget so she help us with our tours for our stay.
