Paradise in Coron

We stayed three nights are El Rio Y Mar Resort and wish we could have stayed a week. This resort is hands down the best resort we have stayed at in the Philippines. It's very secluded from the hustle and bustle of Coron yet close enough that you can still do the island hopping tours and excursions. The staff were exceptional from the time you arrive to the time you depart. The food at the ONLY restaurant was absolutely delicious. We were a bit nervous about there only being one restaurant however there were over 100 items on the menu and the chef and their team did an exceptional job of creating some truly wonderful dishes. They have a guitar duo serenading couples at dinner each night. Their collection of songs was outstanding as I did not see them miss one request. There is no shortage of activities on the resort. From hiking, to an array of water sports, to scuba diving and just lounging on the beach or by the infinity pool. This resort has it all. If you are looking to trying disconnect and relax this is the place for you. The rooms were nice but not over the top. Just what you need for a comfortable nights sleep. We will be back for sure!!

Outstanding stay!!!

We had a wonderful 3 days here. Having spent 3ish weeks in the Philippines staying at different hotels almost every 3 to 4 days, this resort tops it all. From the very beginning, the unique boat ride, the lovely warm welcome from the staff, the picturesque location, our beach front room, the food, the amenities and activities offered and did I say, the superb professionalism and friendliness of the staff again? It is just the whole package. You can easily spend a week here. We didnt want to leave! Keep it up!

We stayed for 4 nights in the native cabin. I would have upgraded to another room if it was available. The room is hot, the air conditioning is loud. The hotel only gives you one free cold kettle of water for the room per day. We’ve been to other resorts where they gave you three. The food is okay but after four days it was boring. The breakfast buffet needs more options. The staff are friendly. Upon check-in they gave us the wrong room. We booked a king and gave us a queen. They said the other room was not ready and we had to wait until 2:30 to enter it meanwhile check-in time is 2:00. When we entered there were dirty and used towels hanging on the back of the door. The island trips are very expensive compared to other options but you have to go with them because the resort is so remote. We also had to pay P3,000 for transport to and from the hotel as there are no other options but for them to bring you to and from. Other tourists are very loud and inconsiderate of others there. The staff do not ask them to quiet down. Overall I would not recommend this hotel.

Far better than I expected

This was one of the most amazing experiences. You cannot imagine how good service and staff can be, before you went to El Rio! Miss Thet is the most warmhearted, smile-spreading and happy manager, I have ever met. The food is good, not amazing, but good! The Native Cabana we lived in, was more than we expected, and the feeling of waking up with the sea just outside your veranda is breathtaking.

Amazing resort

Amazing resort. We wanted a place that has its own beach, and this was a perfect match. We stayed in one of the rooms on the sea, and the view was really great. They offer free snorkeling, paddle boards and kayaks, and the staff is always super friendly. There's a nice pool and beach, and everything is very clean. The only downside is that you're literally stuck there (boat transfer only), but we were there for 4 nights and didn't get tired of it for a second. We spent around $80 extra per day on food and drinks, and didn't take any extras like massages or tours. So take that into account.

Don't join their trip the day you check out

Restaurant waiters have to improve their service attitude, I ordered pizza, but there is an ant sticking to the cheese, telling the waiter but she just took a look and left, completely ignoring us. But then we responded to the restaurant supervisor and she apologized to us. We join their dugong diving trip the day we check out, the staffs from this Resort told us we can make the public shuttle bus in Coron airport to city, but later told us there is no more public shuttle bus in airport due to the last flight arrived 30 mins early. They told us we only can take resort's shuttle bus to city. (they charge us very high price to city and told us we gave you discount. Set the price high and then gave us a discount. We can only pay and take their shuttle bus to the city, because there is no other way to city.) The fact is that even if the last flight did not arrive early, we couldn't catch the shuttle bus, because our dugong trip returned three hours earlier, because other travelers in the dugong trip did not want to take third dive. we could not catch up with the shuttle bus if we arrived after on time, after 3 dive. The plane arrived half an hour earlier, but we returned to the resort three hours earlier. The stuffs from resort told us there is public shuttle bus in airport and driver from resort will help you to transfer it. Later just want us PAY to take their expensive shuttle.
