Like El Nido, Coron has begun to feel the expansion pains as the Palawan area increasingly becomes a popular tourist destination. The people are great and the night life good, but amidst the hustle bustle and constant flow of tricycles, it can become somewhat unsettling.

I like to walk and I spent one Sunday exploring the entire town, looking for rural and off the beaten path places to manage guests for them, since such places are often completely computer illiterate and subsequently you will not find them on the internet, except here. My venture to manage such places was too much work so I will just post their contact details here. Between the Coron page and this one, you should have a good overview of the kind of places I like, which are chill and generally off the beaten path.

Roger’s Manor

As explained on the Coron page, right in the center but just off enough to have a quiet feeling. They don’t even have a sign so feel free to walk into this gate:

A black wrought iron gate flanked by two light-colored pillars opens to reveal a large, red and yellow house surrounded by lush green trees and plants, reminiscent of the vibrant scenery one might encounter while island hopping in Coron. The scene is bright, capturing a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.

A large, two-story house with yellow and red exterior colors sits in a picturesque rural setting.

Kitchen available for cooking:

I stayed there with some friends, we each paid 550p for the above room, but I slept on the roof terrace as shown in pic below. Nice breeze. The room is more expensive if you want to use the air-conditioner. My friends left after one night and I stayed two more nights with this room for myself at 550p.

A covered outdoor patio with a wooden roof, featuring a cushioned bench and a table with chairs, offers breathtaking views of the sea and distant green mountains in Coron.
