Coral Bay is a quiet, friendly sort of budget resort. They met our expectations in every regard, but did't blow us away either. We enjoyed a corner cottage with a private porch and garden overlooking the beach for two nights. Perhaps the best feature was the set of hammocks strung next to the beach to enjoy the sunset.

we just came back from our trip, and i have to say, Robert, Alain and Mercedes made our stay at coral bay really enjoyable. we didn't have much opportunity to sit down and have long chats with them, but when we bumped into them, they were always so nice and accommodating. Robert was always very helpful with tips on things... More

Alain and Bob are just fantastic guys -- the resort has its own green view inside, spacious, clean and cozy rooms.. Great view -- so quiet and undisturbed -- the benches are passionately-positioned facing the bay -- so you can enjoy your drink, or the pleasure of finishing your book.. at least that's what i did.. They're very sensitive to... More

We arrived at El Nido and didnt have anywhere booked so we went on the hunt for somewhere to stay starting off at the main hotels on the beach front in the centre of El Nido as this is where we were dropped off. All of these were fully booked so we ended up heading towards Corong-Corong which is a... More

We stayed in 3 places in El Nido and Coral Bay was by far the best. The rooms are very good, the breakfast is good and it's in a serene setting. You hear that all in the reviews below but one thing you don't get an idea of is how great Alain and Bob really are. My wife got food... More

We really enjoyed our 1 week stay in this resort. Although the trip from Puerto Princesa is awfully tiring, you will soon forget all about it once your here. We were greeted and was offered a complimentary beer by Bob after checking in. The cottage that we booked is facing the beach and the sunset view is awesome every afternoon.... More

We spent nearly three weeks in Coral Bay. Wasn't plannend, but it was so nice here, the people were so friendly, that we stayed nearly the whole holiday there. Thanx to the owners Bob, Alain and Mercedes!!! And of course Saldy, our captain, who drove us with his boat to all the great islands up there. He really is the... More

We made the awful 5 road trip via a shuttle van from Puerto Princesa to El Nido but we forgot all about it once we stepped foot at the Coral Bay Resort. We were greeted by the very charming Bob. We had reserved one of the two beach cottages months prior to our arrival. I was glad I planned ahead,... More

We stayed a week in Coral Bay in January in a standard room for about $82/night. The owners are nice people, the room a good size and nice with well made wooden floors. You could see that the owners had taken some extra effort to make the construction of the rooms and furniture etc quality. However, for $82/night we found... More

We spent there 5 nights in January 2012 and it was the worst place I have ever been to. The owners are from the UK and France - mean people, even the first impression was very positive. We asked for the beach towels, the answer was no beach towels for our guests. They charge for the kayaking, the breakfast was... More
