We stayed here in dec 11 for 5 days and had a nice time in Coron, but not because of this place. The place looks nice and is not bad, but you can get better places for the money discovery divers resort asks. Second, the (english) owner seems very nice at first and even took us for a night out.... More

Had a great fun filled 4 days vacation at this resort. Excellent location (10-15 min boat ride from town), professional service, friendly staff, smart and timely arrangements for tours, good food and personal touch. We opted for full board option that included meals. Being vegeterian arranging food was a challenge, but Little Mama and Riza ensured all our requirements from... More

Just returned from a 4 nights dive holiday at Discovery Island Resort and I really loved it. From the personal greetings from Riza and Alan (the resort proprietor) upon arrival to the total professionalism of their associated dive instructors and the kind and attentive house staff, I recommend and give Discovery Island Resort 5+ stars! Luke, Christine, and Marcel knew... More

Stayed 6 days 5 nights at this resort. The views are amazing and the overall stay is very comfortable. Knew in advance from little mama that there was no hot shower and electricity can go out sometimes. Food was great, the owners, little mama and her hubby Alan are just wonderful people. They'll go out of their way to accommodate... More

Discovery was a great place to stay for a few nights, even if you don't scuba dive. My wife and I are divers (I'm actually a divemaster), but we came to isolate ourselves and do nothing. This is a great place to do nothing, as it's an island, Decanituan. Nowhere to go, and nothing to do. Bring a good book!... More

My husband and I just came back from a March 7 to 10 vacation from Coron, Palawan. We stayed at Discovery Divers Resort at Decanituan Island. The resort is run by couple Allan and Little Mama (unfortunately, she was in Manila and didn't get to meet her). The resort is a short boat ride from Coron town, which is a... More

We stayed one night in this resort as part of a Tribal Adventures tour (avoid this company) and found Little Mama and Allan extremely good hosts. The dinner was delicious and the staff were well trained. The room was very comfortable and Little Mama went out of her way to put extra foam on a bed as I suffer from... More

My boyfriend and I had just the most amazing experience in Coron, thanks to this resort! I read so much good reviews about this from TripAdvisor so we decided to book a room here. We got a room for two people, very spacious room though the shower doesn't have hot water and the light just above the sink didn't work.... More

We are a close to nature resort on a Dept of Environment and Natural Resources managed island - we do not heat our water. We offer modern rooms and native cottages. We operate complimentary transfers on... More

This was my first Asia-experience after a while in Hong Kong, where everything is always very neatly and strictly arranged. Then, you land in Manilla, terminal 1, to catch the next flight to Coron. Forget about reaching terminal 3 from terminal 1 to Coron within one hour, as the traffic is jammed and takes at least 45 minutes before 6pm.... More
