Philippine visa, single entry visa can stay for 30 days.

Proof of work, bank deposit certificate, air ticket travel itinerary, visa application form, two 2-inch ID photos, passport valid for more than 6 months, and valid international credit card are required.

How to get there

There are no direct flights from China to Coron Island. You usually need to transfer from Manila. The flight time from Manila Airport to Coron Island is approximately 1 hour. I recommend Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines.

About accommodation

I considered going to sea and island hopping four days ago. I stayed at Micasa Lodge a few days ago, which is relatively close to the pier and the town center (it only takes about 6 minutes to walk). The hotel environment near the pier is similar. As long as it is clean, air-conditioned and has breakfast, it will be perfect. If you want to spend a few days relaxing in a hotel over the next few days, you'll want to book a stay at the LaNatura resort in the town of Colon. Pool access includes breakfast. Lunch and dinner are charged separately. You can pay at checkout. During the day you can take a walk, do laundry, read a book, and get a massage. At night you can lie on the deck chair, watch the stars, and listen to the chirping of insects in nature. Very enjoyable.

Hotel price: Micasa Cottage 1194 yuan for four nights (40 minutes drive from Busuanga Airport to the hotel)

LaNatura Resort 896 yuan for two nights (massage for two people 1700 per hour (Philippine Pesos)

Micasa Lodge is a hotel with an average environment and doesn’t take many photos. Unlike domestic hotels, they clearly state that the guest rooms will be cleaned according to your requirements, but by default they do not need to be cleaned if you do not go to the front desk. In addition, you must give your room key to the front desk every time you go out and get it back when you come back. Valuables are stored at the front desk (such as passports, bank cards and other documents, and excess money can be stored in the safe at the front desk, don't worry). Tomorrow's breakfast will be back the afternoon before. Fixed menu, just click on it.

Natural Resort

LaNatura Resort has a great environment and is suitable for home living. There are only ten rooms in the hotel, and they are very quiet. But the meals provided are basically American and European. I didn’t like it to feel down-to-earth, so we decided to order the food on the first night and go to the pier to eat seafood the next day.

About food and restaurants

The local food is rice, meat (pork, beef, chicken, and fish are mainly grilled), seafood (shrimp, crab, Pipi shrimp, Lobster, squid, various strange fish), and very few vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, etc. However, mangoes are the best!

Generally, seafood can be bought at the seafood market next to the town pier, except for lobster and mantis shrimp, which are basically unavailable. According to locals, lobsters and mantis shrimps are basically purchased from the same source, mainly for export, but can also be purchased from suppliers. The hotel owner has contacts with all suppliers, and those who want to eat lobster and mantis shrimp can go to the restaurant to order. Haha, if you want to eat a very large lobster, you must make a reservation with the restaurant in advance. After all, supply is still very tight. The price of lobster is proportional to the size of the lobster, but the price is not low regardless of the size. Squid, crabs, and various fish are the most cost-effective local products.

One more thing, I don’t know whether to attribute it to vegetables or fruits. Sea grapes, one by one, are much smaller than grapes. In your mouth, they are sour and sticky like giant caviar. It’s better to experience it yourself, but if you like it, you can try it~

Kaishun Restaurant: This restaurant is opened by Chinese. The taste is good and the owner is also very nice. Sweet and sour pork, okra, beef rice, and porridge are all good, as well as mango smoothie and local beer. Without seafood, the price per person is 30-50 yuan. If you order seafood, it will cost at least 100 yuan per person.

Other Western restaurants are not recommended, mainly because we are not used to them. Western food is really average, and the tip is not low. In fact, the Philippines is not a tipping country. Tipping is basically done by Westerners. Local restaurants basically don’t charge tips.

Lobster King, Lobster King, the owner of this store is promoting giant lobster. The price per person is 100-400 yuan.

To summarize: The Philippines has basically no special features except seafood and mangoes. Don't go to restaurants with many Westerners. Basically, most people who like to eat don't think it tastes good, but you can try it. We tried it and found it average. This depends on personal taste. The Philippines is destined not to be a country of gourmet food, so it is better to focus on diving in the sea.
