First off , the staff.. so so amazing. I had gotten food poisoning from a tour I did, and they were so helpful keeping me hydrated and had tablets to let me enjoy my vacation.

The food options were great, many options. This can just be your stay without ever visiting town. The view was jaw dropping everyday. Aircon was strong , even had to turn it off it got so cold. Room was well kept , and no issues with mosquitos unless you kept door open.

Cons might be the cost of getting into town, cost 2.5k per way. So plan for that cost as fuel prices are taking a toll on transport. Also there is a 22 percent tax on all food, but the prices of food are cheap enough that you don’t notice.

The complaints I see online don’t seem fair. They are very misguided. This is a five star stay. They have great activities , and amazing amazing spa. Only $15 for the top massage for 2 hours and scrub. I will stay here again, only difference is I’ll rent a car as you are hour outside of coron town.

Can’t express enough superlatives about my experience at the Busuanga Lodge. Starting with the staff. They were all highly attentive to any of our needs. They also helped with tours and other suggestions for things to do. The room was spacious and clean; laundry service, room service all wonderful. The grounds were well kept and beautiful. Highly recommend it😎

Property is beautiful and the area is breathtaking. But be prepared for a 45 minute drive from the airport. The final lap of the trek to the lodge is through an unpaved winding road that gets muddy after it rains. Once you arrive, though, you will have an unforgettable experience with the surroundings and the staff is exceptional. Lastly, be aware that they only have one restaurant in the property with a limited menu that is pretty pricey. But overall our stay there was very pleasant.

Nice but overpriced

Great place to relax but felt cramped as everything is centred around reception - the restaurant, the pool, the bar, the shop.
So people would be having a pre-dinner drink alongside someone in their swimsuit.

Nice food and good to have filipino food as an option.

Far too few sun loungers by the pool. Even if people spend the day away from the hotel, they want to be able to relax in the evening and this was difficult

Rooms were clean and comfortable but infested with large biting Ants. For the price paid for the room this was not acceptable.
There was a huge gap between the wall and the window frame allowing Ants into the room

Nice bit very very overpriced

Our family loved our stay at Busuanga Bay Lodge! They provided personalized, detailed service from beginning to end. I was able to arrange for airport pick-up with a single WhatsApp message, and our friendly driver was waiting for us even with a delayed flight.

AJ the GM introduced himself on day 1 and checked in on our family to ensure our needs were met.

The food was amazing in quality with a wide selection…before arrival, I was worried we might be bored with the menu since there is only one restaurant on property. But we loved every meal and had so many options!

The front desk arranged a full day snorkel and swim for my family of 4 with a convenient pick-up at our hotel pier with a private guide. At the same time, they arranged for a perfect 4-hr boat sightseeing afternoon tour for my elderly parents. It was a wonderful day for all!

We loved our stay, and this property is a gem. It really beats the crowdedness of Coron, still with all the amenities you look for when planning a Palawan getaway. Thank you to AJ and his amazing staff! We will tell all our friends to stay at BBL! Happy new year.

As others have noted, this is a lovely gem of a lodge. We wanted a nice place with scuba diving options, and a celebration on site for Christmas, and this fit the bill for all three. They have a great dive shop, and we dove to the nearby wrecks every day, then relaxed in their stunning infinity pool every afternoon and evening.
They were great with our airport transfer, and I especially appreciated their help with transport to our next hotel in Coron. Nicha was especially exceptional, we appreciated her help and expertise every time we asked for something.

Where Beauty Meets Awesome!

We made a weekend trip from Manila to Coron and decided to stay at the Busuanga Bay Lodge. The Lodge is on the other side of the island from the airport, so be prepared to pay a little extra for transportation. Upon arrival , we were greeted by the entire staff with a special reception. The view from the lobby is breathtaking as you look out past the infinity pool. We were very impressed with the entire staff as they were so friendly and helpful throughout the stay. I would recommend booking your excursions at the hotel since most leave closer to the airport on the other side of the island. The Lodge offers excursions that leave directly from the bay directly in front of the resort.

My only grip abet a small one. In room internet was 100 pesos (2 US dollars) a day. I would hope in the future this will be part of the cost. I mean who doesn't use internet these days.

The only thing that I can rave about this property is the staff! They are excellent, except for the manager! She did not even take time in welcoming and introducing herself to us! It’s a struggle to get inside the property because the pathway is a rough road. It’s very far from everything, almost in the middle of nowhere. You can only dine in in the hotel, and the food is not that good. The view on the pavilion with the pool is gorgeous. But aside from this… the only reason why I will come back is the staff! They are the best!

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights so my wife could relax after having a minor operation. For a place to chill and relax with getting away from all the city noise etc this place is perfect. The view from the lobby over the bay is overwhelming and has to be the best hotel we stayed in for that. The staff are extremely attentive and very friendly. The food was very good and rooms were lovely also..Only point i would mention on your stay is, maybe try doing your site seeing tours elsewhere before coming here as they only offer private packages and this is 3 to 4 times the price you will pay more than downtown. We did a private island hoping tour and yes it was very convenient because we only had to walk to the jetty as they have there own boat.Food was included and we stayed on each island to our own convenience so in that respect if you dont want to be on a boat with loads of others waiting for them to take pictures etc then do there private.. But beware the cost as this will shock you.
They have a diving centre on jetty also which was pefect..never tried there spa but again alot more money than in town. Gym was clean but no water bottle so take one in.
Overall this hotel is a perfect quiet place for that view and romantic setting. I would recommend for sure, just bare in mind it can be expensive as your pretty much stuck in the hotel day and night unless you want 45 min trip into town as your out the way in this place.

Great stay. Very pricey but I'd say worth it. Food was a little expensive. The rooms really need wifi! They had \"modems\" for rent but didn't have enough to accomodate everyone requesting internet in the rooms. Front desk personnel were mostly nice except for one--Jess. I asked to switch from an outrigger boat to the speedboat. She flat out lied and said they only had one when the tour guide from yesterday told us they had like 3. Spoke with someone else and they said they did have other speedboats. I'm not sure why she lied. Overall, I'd still give 5 stars. We had a lot of fun. Shout out to Bernadette who went above and beyond to accomodate our requests and Ninoy who basically became my personal lifeguard. I'd come back here because of those two.

This place is about a 45-60 minute drive from Coron (ferry/town). We were greeted by welcoming party, song, fresh hot towel and refreshing drink. Sat you down for check in with a stunning view of the infinity pool and bay while they checked you in. Their service is amazing.
Free access to paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing off marina. But offer their own tours of islands, kayaking and diving. A lot more expensive then town, but your tour is more private and they treat you like a star.

If you’re looking for a place close to town, this is probably not the place for you. But if you’re looking to be more isolated from town, with maybe a trip into town...then it’s perfect.

We stayed for 2 days at the end of our trip so R/R is how we decided to spend it.

Wow.

What a fantastic three nights we had here!

Service from all staff was fabulous. One of our party was injured, as soon as we arrived the nurse spotted this and provided care straight away and for the next four days of our stay. All staff were amazing, from driving us to and from our room, to leaving inspirational notes and treats and to making sure we had a fabulous time from start to finish. Thank you!

We booked the Coron Island tour through the hotel. Yes it is slightly more expensive but entirely worth it. As there were four in our party we were able to book it as a private tour. It was fantastic! Solomon especially, our guide for the day, leaving the boat with us and taking us through everything, explaining history and local information. The care he provided for our injured friend was also fabulous, making sure she could get involved in all the activities so she didn't miss anything. The Coron tour is amazing, so beautiful, snorkelling, lakes and lagoons. They knew the times to get to these places so they're not busy which made it so much more special. Thank you!

Room cleaned every day, food was fantastic. The views from where ever you are are beautiful.

The property is remote from the rest of Busuanga island. While this might be a plus factor for people who are seeking a bit of seclusion to enjoy a quite vacation, it needs the hotel to provide excellent entertainment options which they didn't really live up to.

Pros:
- The staff is great, extremely friendly and helpful.
- Location is a double edged sword but beautiful nature and breath taking views are always a plus fo rme.

Cons:
- Worst internet connection I've ever seen in my life (and I've been around a long time). It's only available in the clubhouse/lobby and I you couldn't browse, or look at your email. No coverage in the rooms. GSM (mobile) coverage is very bad and I could hardly get a signal in the clubhouse.
- No suitable beach. The hotel website proclaims they own their own island near by (45 minutes boat ride) which they will charge around PHP 4K (around $75) to let you use (offer includes food and unlimited select drinks). However, the island wasn't functional do to some rains (hotel failed to mention that in their website although when I was there the island was out of commission for 3 weeks.)
- Limited food options. The hotel has one restaurant and a bar. The menu is extensive but chef's abilities can't cover the wide swath of cuisines the menu aspired to.
- IN order to swim you need to take a boat trip. The hotel offers one standard trip (costing about PHP7K per person $132) and they won't do the trip unless a minimum number of people signs up

Beautiful tropics, without the crowds of Coron

The Busuanga Bay Lodge is the perfect example of a tropical hideaway. Private, with views to die for, and good food. A highlight was a seaplane coming in for a landing in front of the hotel - it was like Fantasy Island! We did have an uncomfortable incident during breakfast one day that was resolved very satisfactorily in a matter of hours, for which we thank the floor manager Rey and the hotel management. This is truly a properly run establishment. In fact, there were so many thoughtful touches during our stay that made our experience special, from the music that greets you to the friendliness of the staff to the very warm farewell. What could be considered a negative is its distance to Coron - it's an hour away. But that is also one of the positive features of the location. We went into town for a spectacular island tour but we were also happy to leave the noise, grit and crowds when the day was done. We did not want the frenzy of the town to intrude on our getaway, which made this hotel a perfect choice for us.

Bad value for money

the location of the hotel is remote which can be good or bad. In this case is was mostly bad. The main problem was the pricing model of BBL. Everything was mainly about squeezing as much money as possible out of the guests and less about offering a great holiday experience. The reason how they can get away with food/transportation/spa prices of 3-4x market rate is simply the remote location of the place. There are no options to go anywhere else and BBL takes full advantage of that. While I would not mind paying premium prices for premium quality/service, I don’t like to pay highly inflated prices for average quality/service just because there are no other options available.

On the positive side, staff is friendly, rooms were clean (although the walls are ultra-thin which means you hear your neighbor) and the dive center was good

nice hotel but everything will\ncost you a fortune

Nice hotel and overall palawan is great however in order to swim have to pay to go to different islands because of box jelly fish. It’s about 1 1/2 hr boat trip to coron one way where all the great spots are. Free kayak however nothing else to enjoy the hotel. It will cost you php 1000 one way for shuttle to and from airport, it can get pricey if you are a group. Hotel is approximately 1 hr away from airport. Their tour starts about php 3200 per person with nothing else. To get food for the tour is addition 3000+. Fridge in the room stocked but costs about 3x compare to outside. Food in the restaurant costs minimum of php 800. Also some guests obviously with escorts or entertainers, definitely ruined the experience especially if you are with your families/kids. For the price of the hotel and claiming more than 3 stars, I don’t think this should be permitted, or even at least not to common areas. Hotel staffs are great with their service, however some even voiced out their dissatisfaction with management and ridiculous prices.

People who work here are not very accommodating nor look happy or eager to help. Unlike other 4-5 star resorts/hotels we’ve stayed in. We were very disappointed in guest services. Not sure who is managing this place but it seems like the employees can use a boost in morale. Beautiful property but far from being what it could be in service.

Pros:
The beauty of the hotel, it’s situated along the side of the Mountain and has beautiful views.
Courteous staff.
Small resort , so you feel totally at peace.
Can request golf carts shuttle to get around hotel.
Hotel set us up with private boat and island hopping tour, hotel made it very easy and very accommodating to exactly what we wanted.
Shout out to the Twin Airose team and Rollo for an awesome experience.
Hotel emailed me regarding airport shuttle, unfortunately I did not know they would charge us a fee for each way.
Cons:
First two nights I was there the ac was broken in my room but they were able to switch me to a better room with a view of the ocean for the inconvenience. Unfortunately I left my cologne in the old room and supposedly it was never found.
I did not expect excursions and food to be as pricey as they were. Philippines is known for being cheap and this place cost as much as things in the states.
They did not offer many authentic Filipino dishes. But the food they did have tasted amazing. Such as pizza, spaghetti, and sandwiches.

Went there as a spot on my exploring the island of Palawan. Very beautiful hotel and hilltop suite was amazing and views were unreal. No other dining options available around other than the 2 restaurants on grounds but food was just OK. Would not recommend going solo. Most tours they offer require a minimum amount of guests , which I was not aware of before trip, but Micha was very helpful and was able to get me on some tours. Definitely pricey compared to other tours offered in Coron town but definitely worth it. Our guide Alvin was amazing and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I did not pay that much for the room. 6 jet skis there and not one being used. This is Marketing 101, the consumer will tell you what your prices is. Price it at $50 you have people use them many hours a day, price them at $200 and they sit there not being used. I observed this while there as well as from across the bay at Al Faro which was a much better time. Who can possibly think people are going to come all the way to Busuanga to pay those prices, you don't pay even half that much at US destinations. Fishing prices are stupid high also. Local fishing is not good I asked around, takes over an hour each way just to get to a decent area, 4 hours use of the boat is about $200 again. Nice, pool, food is reasonably good, but too many other good choices. No internet in any of the rooms. I am one and done. Back to Al Faro I go.

Nice Hotel with a Beautiful View

This hotel had everything we needed, plus a PADI dive shop with fantastic Master Divers.
Top-notch and would have been perfectly rated had the internet functioned more than 15% of the time.

The resort is on a steep hill, so if you aren't up for a hike to and from various facilities you will have to plan ahead and call for a golf cart ride.

Paradise!

Georgous setting and beautiful facilities. Architecture is stunning. The grounds are magnificent day or night. The staff is awesome and anticipated our needs. The food is excellent in both restaurants. Many tour choices exist and we enjoyed 3 of them. The private island is idyllic. There is even a happy hour on the water with a great sunset.

Great view but...

The place was great but our guest was disappointed bec there is poor cellphone and internet signal. You just cant totally get away from technology esp if your work is in the computer/IT area, you have to get in touch with them once in a while. The poor wifi caused much stress to my guests. But for me it was great and relaxing bec im not an internet person. At least please fix your internet

Pleasant stay

The resort is wonderful and the food from the menu are actually pretty good. The only thing is, staff member were not really very informative, we didnt find out that they offer free kayak, bicycle, etc until just before we left and we found out from our fellow guest that we got to know when we did the boat tour. The whole day coron island tour is a must to do. Overall, the stay was very enjoyable. Staff was very friendly, was just going to make it excellent if they are more informative and helpful. Food ordered from the restaurant took about an hour to come out (first night we were there but the next night it was quicker).

Excellent hotel

The place treats you like a VIP. I’m so amused by the fact that every afternoon we get a small special food treat & they were delicious. Internet service is almost non existent therefore had trouble doing business. I have to keep going to the front desk to call our driver who lives in the town of Coron. Their sponsored trips are highly commendable. Feels like you have the entire beach by yourself far from the crowd.

beautiful scenery, poor management, pricey hotel

The location is perfect. beautiful lagoon off Busuanga bay. The hotel staff smiled a lot, but are not well trained at all. The placements were left dirty after they removed the dishes at the restaurant. The breakfast items were minimal. We had the same menu for both lunch and dinner during the 4 days stay.
There were no towels by the beach side. Called front desk. Waited 10 minutes for someone to show up. Waited another 10 minutes for they to finally send towels down. The shower wall inside the hotel room was dirty, looks like it has not been cleaned for a long time. The management team needs to do lots more training. Quite a disappointing experience especially when this is supposed to be a high end resort.

Top hotel in Busuanga with great staff

We were a family of 5 and took the two bedroom villa, and it was great. The villa offered a very comfortable accommodation and privacy with a beautiful view of the bay.

The hotel staff were amazing and always very friendly and helpful. Can't think of anything but good praise for all the staff and their genuine effort in everything.

Choie and section of food is limited and can be improved in our opinion, again due to the small number of rooms and guests the economics of offering more and more choice is the deciding factor. nevertheless I still think there can be more and better choices.

The hotel ability to arrange for any type of excursion is great for guests who wish to discover more this region and its spectacular beauty.

Great staff and very nice facility

Busuanga Bay Lodge was a great experience. We took business partners here and enjoyed the accommodations, tours, and food. I highly recommend the Coron Island Tour. You get to experience 4 sights, swimming, and lunch. The only thing that could be improved was the price for the tours and transportation. If you call outside services they do it for half the price.

Paradise in Coron...but sooo far away

This place is absolute paradise. The view from the infinity pool is unreal..sort of reminds me of the caldera view in Santorini. Very well kept hotel, quiet and the staff were very polite and attentive.

My only complaint is that the hotel is an hour away from the main drag, Coron town where almost everything happens. Hiring a private van round trip into town costs about P3000 each time.

This hotel is very well suited to honeymooners who want privacy and to get away from it all. And would like nothing better to do than stay at the property for private time :)

Nice hotel but way too far and way overpriced

I stayed here for 3 days and I felt trapped. It cost P2,000 round trip for each person to go to Coron. I did not know this or I would have booked in a hotel closer to downtown. The activities the hotel offered were too expensive, it cost me the same amount for all 3 people in my group plus round trip transfer for the price for 1 person they offered. The food offering was limited, expensive, well presented but not always tasty. The air conditioner had 2 temperatures: very hot or very cold. I requested the room safe battery be changed as it was \"low bat\" but they never fixed it. The spa service was mediocre. The worst thing of all is the people never smiled.

Hotel with awesome view

Hotel staffs are very nice. It's far from town but the place is worth staying, the view is awesome. The food are expensive & not that good. Wifi is slow & limited to 1 device only, you need to request if you want to add up, maximum is two devices. Activities are expensive too, but you can book your activities to an agency located in downtown area its a lot cheaper. With all this experiences it's still worth recommending.

Amazing hotel.

Our two night stay was the highlight of our trip to the Philippines. The location is magical and the hotel was epic. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They have a no tipping rule which made the experience very relaxing as there wasn't that awkward moment after every exchange with a staff member. But most importantly the food was fantastic. This country unfortunately does not have very good food generally but BBL was some of the best meals I've had in a while.
