White sand beaches, crystal clear waters surrounded by lucious greeneries. With its enthralling beauty, it is no wonder why Northern Palawan’s Coron Island is called the Philippines’ “last ecological frontier.”
Now that restrictions are easing, it allows us to travel more freely, and this might be a great opportunity for you to visit this paradise. One of the best places to stay here is at Bacau Bay Resort Coron.
Strategically located just 30 minutes from Busuanga Airport and five minutes from Coron town proper, the resort boasts of a private pier, and has become a new gateway for travelers to explore Coron’s natural wonders.
“Due to the pandemic, everybody is talking about wellness, we’d like to offer that,” Gilbert Uy, Bacau Bay Resort Coron’s general manager tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle. “Slow travel, digital travel, all part of wellness. When you come to Coron try to forget about stress and work. You came to Coron to relax.”
Speaking of relaxation, the resort’s strategic location provides visitors with their own jump on and drop-off point for many island-hopping and diving tour activities, the pier also offers a picturesque view of Coron harbor set against a backdrop of splendid mountains and impressive limestone formations.
From Bacau Bay Resort Coron’s exclusive jetty port, you can visit Kayangan Lake, dubbed as the “cleanest lake in the Philippines.” This lake is made up of both salt and freshwater, and is home to different marine species.
You can also visit the Twin Lagoon, one of Coron Island’s must-see destinations. It offers two breathtaking shallow saltwater bays for great swimming opportunities. Here, you can snorkel 10-15 feet deep to see the Skeleton Wreck—which is believed to be an ancient shipwreck now encrusted by coral. You can also spend time in the Coral Gardens and marvel at some of the most beautiful natural coral reef systems in the world.
If you’re a foodie, you can also explore Coron’s Paca Island through Bacau Bay Resort Coron’s jetty port. Here, you can savor a sumptuous seafood lunch at the cabanas, enjoy stand-up paddleboards, or paddle your way to Coron Youth Club Beach using kayaks.
Bacau Bay Resort Coron features 64 deluxe rooms, 15 premier suites, and a presidential suite—all designed with a hybrid of modern luxury and contemporary feel, with details and elements that capture Filipino hospitality at its best. Ranging from 32sqm to 144sqm, each room has an added balcony extension where you can see Coron’s breathtaking sunset.
Showcasing the best of Filipino cuisine, the resort’s Amihan Restaurant and Pugon Café brings guests to a distinct dining experience that offers not just international favorites, but also well-loved regional dishes that put a spotlight on locally-sourced ingredients.
After an exhilarating day of exploration and recreation, rejuvenate and revitalize your body with tranquilizing massages from Bacau Bay Resort Coron’s Alon Spa, with their wide array of nature-based services using organic earth-to-spa elements.
As of writing, the province of Coron is still in Alert level 2. The good news is, the RT-PCR test is no longer required for tourists. All you need to do is to secure an approved s-pass QR-code. This is a must. You will not be allowed to board the plane going to Coron without this pass.
“Here is Bacau Bay Resort, you will have a slice of paradise,” Gilbert ends.
