Darayonan Lodge-A place like Home

Vans are a regular fixture at the Busuanga airport. These are the only means of transportation allowed from the airport to Coron town and vise versa. It costs P150 per person. For about 30 minutes you'll be traveling in a vast grassy land(yes, a savannah) with grazing cows and a few horses on the side. 

Honestly, we chose Princess of Coron initially for our accommodations during our short stay in Coron. But upon learning that they were fully booked that day, we opted for our second option, which is Darayonan Lodge. My husband was already familiar to them because they stayed here(with his photography group) summer of 2010. It was just a street away from POC so in no time we were able to reserve an airconditioned room good for three persons for P1800 a night(around US$42) with free breakfast. My initial impression on the receiving area was it was pleasantly comfortable and cozy. Furniture and accents were very Filipino which suits my taste. The staff was hospitable enough to billet us even though we didn't reserve beforehand.

we enjoyed the following...

• cable channels on TV
• a pool
• free wifi in the spacious dining area
• a souvenir shop

Some setbacks:

• Food(breakfast) was nothing but ordinary. They serve unlimited coffee but brewed coffee was unavailable.

• The hot and cold shower in the bathroom needs to be fixed. Very inconsistent.
• Our room was situated near the street. You could hear the sound of those tricycles plying through as early as five o'clock in the morning. Choose rooms that are found at the back.
