Accommodations are basic — you get a small room with a double bed (we were assigned to room 10), AC, a private bathroom, an office table, and a tiny mirror. I’d like to stress though that apart from the bed, which gave us a rather comfortable sleep, everything else needed a lot of work in terms of design, especially how it affects the functionality of the room: We didn’t like the placement of the shower, which was directly in front of a large window, so this meant whoever was in the lot outside could see you showering. What we did was we removed the curtain from the inner window and placed it on the bathroom window (with difficulty, as there was no curtain rod on the bathroom window). There were also at least two signs in the bathroom saying we shouldn’t flush toilet paper into the toilet bowl, but the lone trash can in the room was placed in the bedroom so we had to transfer that beside the toilet too. Water pressure on the tap was strong, but really weak on the shower. Also, we would have appreciated basic provision for hanging wet clothes on (there was absolutely nothing!!). We had to hang our wet stuff on weird places, including the headboard and on doorknobs. Seeing as most tourists do island hopping in Coron and come home with wet clothes, placing hanging racks should have been a no-brainer. They can also replace the office table (which is frankly such a weird choice of furniture) with maybe an open (wall-mount) closet design where we can hang clothes, and maybe a smaller (wall-mount) surface for placing stuff on so the rest of the room’s bottom space can be used for bags (we only brought carry-on bags, but we barely had space with that humongous table hogging what remained of the floor area). They also serve breakfast rather strictly from 7:30 am to 9 am (if you’re going on a tour that departs early, forget about requesting to have breakfast earlier because the guy manning the reception in the evenings to early mornings, Bobby, seems to have a real issue with it). He vehemently explains that their cook doesn’t come in until 7:30 so. you. cannot. have. your. breakfast. earlier. Also, serving time is very slow. Of the four days we were there, we were only able to have breakfast there twice. There is wifi in the room, although it is (expectedly for Coron) slow. I will not stay here again, although their saving grace would be they had the nicest boatmen who took really good care of us during our two-day island hopping trip. They do have their private boat and we opted for a private tour, and everything in that respect went smoothly.
