Busuanga Hotel Guide. Hotels in Popotan Island, Busuanga, Philippines

"The wreck dives are great but my family didn’t like it as much. The diving team Tom, Iko and Shay are all great. They are very knowledgeable and personable. Service at the resort is impeccable. MJ, Naomi, Steph are great. They always accommodate our dietary restrictions at breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. The bar tenders are also great. It is a full bar but don’t expect to get high quality spirits. We had a villa on the beach with Air Conditioning. The A/C helps if you are in bed just below it but it is still very humid and hot in the rest of the room. The food is OK. Wifi is unreliable. You can get wifi only in the common areas (dining room, reception, dive centre) so the first beach villa near the dining room had some wifi."

"Everything was excellent and very private"

"Our stay at Chindonan Beach and Dive resort was excellent!! The staff are all very accomodating and friendly. We were greeted with welcome drinks and big smiles. The rooms were spacious and very clean. We were in the new ones, ocean front deluxe and the views - you cannot get better. This location is remote, and island paradise, ideal for those wanting some peace and relaxation away from the tourist crowds, exactly what we were looking for. It is a 40 mins speedboat ride from coron. The food was delicious, and the staff took exyra care to ensure I had gluten free options. Dinner is served family, buffet style, Everyone eats together it is so lovely. Special shout out to Matt and Frank who took special care with us diving, my kids had a great time! The added bonus were the puppies, Cher and Madeline, so sweet. We will be back! Sarah, Travis, Jack and Davis, from Canada. "

"The beachhouse is a serene oasis with beautiful seaviews and sunsets, a pretty pool, and a chic boho vibe with natural materials and lots of bamboo and woodworks that show great care for design and sustainability, merging into the natural beauty of the environment. Coming by boat from the seaside (island hopping), you barely see the beachhouse at first, blending into the palm trees that line the shore and the dense greenery of the jungle clad mountain behind. Then it emerges as a tropical oasis on the edge of the Ocam Ocam Cove. Its a perfect retreat for those who seek a peaceful getaway far from the crowds of town, to relax, recharge, and taste the raw nature of palawan (which they call “the last frontier” of the philippines for its untouched nature). To us it was the perfect Palawan getaway to enjoy a quiet and peaceful weekend, laze around the pool, and explore the islandscape of Busuanga by boat (Black Island across the Beachhouse, and the Dugong snorkling tour were our highlights). Ocam Ocam Beach is pretty, raw and quiet, nice for a walk along the cove exploring a mix of local village life and small tourist establishments. The beachhouse is around an hour ride from the airport and easy to reach with the hotels shuttle, the last 15mins are rough road and get a bit bumpy. Dont go if you expect crowds, bars and nightlife, its a remote escape far from the hustle of coron town, but for us, it was the perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend."

"The staff made the stay totally enjoyable. "

"We liked quiet spot with water front views. Room's we're quirky and open, but would have appreciated air conditioning and WiFi extender to the room. Also no coffee available 24/7. This would be nice. And mistakes made with invoicing in hotels favour with no apology "

"The staff were fantastic.shout out to Jeremy at reception. Room was terrific too, unfortunately my room was next to the pool and only 30m from the restaurant which closes at 10pm Or so I thought, the remarkably selfish owners of the adjacent restaurant, were up to 130 am. I spoke to staff (actually i woke staff) to ask them what was happening. I had to go over at midnight and ask myself. Managers were very helpful after the event but nowhere to be seen or hea rd at the time (staff tried calling), i asked about ear plugs to assist but i may as well be asking for a pavlova recipe, as was the response. it had a big impact on the rest of my day. Had to cancel last scuba dive because i needed to organise alternate accomodation and transport to coron town. If you like to sleep when you choose to sleep and not have others decide it for you. Go elsewhere or choose a room away from the pool "
