11 BEST HOSTELS IN CORON, PALAWAN
There are three distinctively different regions to stay in Coron such as Coron Town Proper, Busuanga Island, and Coron Island, which is a separate island across Coron Town Proper. But the main tourism hub is in Coron Town Proper and it has more accommodation options and tour offerings. These are the top 11 hostels in Coron.
OUTPOST HOSTEL
Outpost Hostel – Coron, like Outpost Beach Hostel (El Nido) is a fun and social hostel located on the edge of Coron town, away from the chaos and hustle bustle of downtown Coron. The hostel offers dormitories of various sizes and private rooms all equipped with air-conditioning units and fans. The hostel has a roof deck and infinity pool that looks over a beautiful view of Coron Bay and surrounding islands.
The hostel has its own restaurant that is very chef driven, offering Filipino fusion flare for affordable prices. The onsite bar rocks every night with fun themes, events, and games and is a great place to meet other travelers and guarantees a great time. The bar, however, closes by 11PM so getting a good night’s rest is not a problem. The hostel has its own tour desk and can arrange island hopping tours, scuba diving, and lots of other fun activities guests can enjoy while they are in Coron.
