The location (fantastic for both diving and doing excursions into the northwest of the island), and the view is to die for: we've never had an accommodation with seaview from the bedroom (literally from the bed), from the bathroom - and even whilst being in the shower! The staff is incredibly helpful, both in the restaurant and in the reception, and the food has been very good and reasonably priced - in particular the fresh fish (try the Tuna Tataki, or the Spanish Mackerel, or the Fisherman's breakfast!). All in all, we felt like in paradise for 2 weeks.
We had the Best and Very Memorable Stay in BBL. The food was great, the ambiance and view was perfect and above all the staff was really accommodating, polite and very helpful especially on what I have requested from them...for the perfect Romantic Surprise Dinner, with all my heart I am so grateful and thank you so much guys everything, most especially to Ms. Nicha! Our total experience was Exceptional and Highly Recommended!

If you're looking for a beautiful tropical island to visit, put this one on your list. It's relatively uncrowded, the people are very pleasant and the vistas are jaw dropping.
If you are a diver, and have an interest in WWII, you will find an incredible 11 Japanese wrecks to dive. I'd recommend Pirate Divers, they are very professional and very conservative when it comes to evaluating risks. They also know the wrecks like their second home.
Coron is a bustling town with good food and pleasant people, but the beauty of the island is the back country. I liked it enough in December that I'm returning in February.
To get around, I'd suggest renting a scooter. If you are new to powered two wheel vehicles stay out of Coron, and pay attention to the roads, there are some surprisingly tight turns. Otherwise, since it is relatively uncrowded you should be fine.

I dont know why everyone goes to crowded Coron island while huge wild beautiful Busuanga is near. Its very big island, better to rent a motorbike to discover it. A lot of things to do, islands, giraffes, diving, beaches.

We liked Busuanga because it was relatively untouched by tourism. Where we stayed at Ocam Ocam there was a rural village community living along the beach. They were friendly and helpful and there was one restobar on the beach. The beach wasn't busy - had a very relaxed feel. It would have been a drive to the nearest town but we liked being away from it all. The beach at Ocam Ocam was gorgeous, though not for swimming as it had a long shallow reef out to the sea. We didn't see a lot of Busuanga as a whole but it felt equally relaxed and rural away from big towns.
