For this reason we have reached out to some Airbnb places in the area to give you some additional options and have listed our favourite ones on this page.
Places
Private & Secluded Island Retreat
This first place is closest to our route and shown as P16,739 in the map at the top. You can have the whole place to yourselves (9 guests, 3 bedrooms, 7 beds, 3 baths), unfortunately it requires a minimum of 3 nights stay. They also require their own boat to take them to or from there. Meaning, for example, if your tour with us is from Coron to El Nido, they could pick you up from Coron, take you to Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoons etc along the way, the Malcapuya area islands and others around Coron during your stay there, after which we would pick you up and continue your journey with us to El Nido. If your tours is from El Nido to Coron, we’d drop you off at this secluded island retreat and they’d take over from there. We can coordinate who of us will take you to the three islands in the Malcapuya area.
The remaining options on this page are a bit out of the way, as you can see from this map (either on the outskirts of Culion Town or across the bay on Chindonan Island):
Casa Osmeña’s Master bed with sea view and ensuite
This place has excellent reviews, a big house (shown at the very top of this page) with four units inside able to accommodate a total of nine people, all with access to the shared space (pics here below).
