The hype
Huge pools and friendly staff save it from being a total pass, but the age is showing.
Coron Westown Resort
$50-90/natt
Bestill dette hvis You're a family or large group wanting a 'resort' vibe with massive pools and don't mind taking a tricycle for every decent meal.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Three massive swimming pools (rare for Coron)
- Sister property access across the street (MO2 Westown Lagoon)
- Spacious rooms that can fit entire families
Hurtig oversikt: A fading giant that trades location and modern maintenance for pool size and karaoke rooms.
Gjennomgått av @ElwieFerrell873151: I stayed here and honestly, the night swims were the highlight of my trip. The pool is massive and beautifully lit up. While it's a bit outside the main town, the shuttle van was super convenient for getting around. It felt like a proper vacation spot.

Reality check
You will spend a lot of time and money on tricycles if you want to eat anywhere besides the mediocre hotel buffet.
- You have kids who just want to swim all day
- You need a room that sleeps 4-6 people comfortably
- You plan to be out on boat tours all day and just need a crash pad with a pool
Renslighet og vedlikehold
6
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Daily service happens, but deep cleaning (dust under beds, AC filters) is lacking.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout often shows age/mildew. Water pressure is a common complaint.
- Maintenance: Showing its age. Peeling paint and worn carpets in hallways are common sights.
- Linens & towels: Often worn thin or stained. Check them upon arrival and ask for replacements immediately if needed.
- Odors & scents: High risk of musty/damp smell in rooms, especially on lower floors.

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is the breakfast worth it?
Barely. It's a standard Filipino buffet (garlic rice, corned beef, egg station) that often runs out of items. Skip it and head to town if you have time.
Can I walk to town?
No. It's a dusty, unlit 3-4km walk along a highway. You need a tricycle.
Is there WiFi?
Technically yes, but practically no. It works in the lobby, but in-room signal is a struggle.
Do the rooms smell?
Frequent complaints about a 'musty' or 'damp' smell, likely due to the humidity and aging AC units. Air out your room immediately upon entry.
Is the pool clean?
Generally yes, the pools are the highlight and well-maintained, though the tiles are getting old.
Are there hidden fees?
Just the usual: breakfast (~690 PHP if not included) and airport transfer (~250 PHP).
Innsidetips
- ✨
Cross the street to MO2 Westown Lagoon for a change of scenery—it's the sister property and you can use their pool too.
- ✨
Don't book tours through the hotel; they mark up the price. Walk to town or book online for better deals.
- ✨
The 'Dipulao Mangrove' is a 5-minute walk away—a cool, free spot for a quick nature walk that most guests miss.
5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The shower pressure is often weak, a common island struggle but pronounced here.
💡The 'Mexican' theme of the bar is baffling and mostly just consists of a sombrero on the wall.
💡You might find green moss/slime on the exterior walkways near your window—it's humid here.
💡The KTV rooms are soundproofed... for the people inside, not for the rooms next door.
💡There is literally nothing else to do within walking distance except the mangroves.
