Accommodation near Mangenguey Island

We wanted to “get away” and that’s what we got at La Estancia. We get to spend quality time with family. The resort catered to our needs. PROS: >They offer airport to resort to airport transfers for a fee if less than 8 persons but if you are a group of 8, the van is free. We were a group of 16, so we only paid for the second van. >The resort offers private island lifestyle and offer breakfast/lunch/dinner for an extra charge (very reasonable pricing, mostly Filipino food menu) > Private beach > Free use of kayaks > Seaview rooms with private balconies > Wonderful staff (special mention to Nanay Auie, Ate Aiza, Ma’am Meryl and our drivers) > Clean rooms > La Estancia can book your island hopping and Coron activities and coordinate with trusted tour agencies (they made sure we enjoyed and were safe with our Coron tour) > They can make you lunch picnic for your island hopping for a separate fee (again very reasonable pricing and delicious fresh food/drinks). Our family went to Black Island and Debotunay Island CONS: > Far from town proper ( 1.5 from airport/ 2 hrs to Coron), so if you want night life, this is not your kind of resort > Internet was slow (but then again, if you want to get away…)this was just fine for us. My son was still able to log on and take his summer online classes/tests. > As of July 2025, they don’t take major credit cards ( they take cash, money transfers thru paypal/gcash) My advise is to please ask resort for updates before your stay.

careful of the sugar/black ants, unavoidable but definitely no open food in the room and will be fine, they don't bite at least. other than that it was great. nice and quiet and a good escape from the city for a while. island hopping was reasonably priced and shorter boat ride away compared to other resorts. diving courses and tours offered for both novice and experienced divers which are excellent.

The staff made the stay totally enjoyable.

I stayed here while diving with Pirate Divers. There is a dive shop associated with the resort but I did not use it. Picked up every morning from the dock to go diving.

Fantastic and budget friendly. Rooms are great. Very clean and well equipped. Restaurant has a great menu and the chef is excellent. Infinity pool is to die for. You’re can be accessed from the report. The lodge is isolated, so be prepared to eat in the area or the hotel across the way!

Great stay, awesome staff, quality food and drinks. Air con the only thing missing but fans get you by
