Arrival. Days before our stay, I emailed reservations@bacaubaycoron.com about our situation. We availed their in-house roundtrip airport transfer (airport - resort - airport). Upon arrival at the airport, the staff holding the resort name signage was easy to find. He assisted us on our luggages and even gave us a welcome drink, one bottled water each. The driver was friendly and approachable. The transition was smooth. We rode on the private van. After 30 minutes, we arrived at the resort.

They also gave us some refreshments as we arrived at the resort. They even assisted us with our luggages to our assigned room.

In-room desserts. Every night, the staff delivered some desserts with notes from the general manager. I even collected eight notes as our souvenir. On the Christmas eve, they also delivered a bottle wine as Christmas present. We really appreciated it.

» Overall «

Just like what I said on my previous reviews, I do love our 9-day stay in Bacau Bay Resort Coron. They had the amenities and perks that we looked for in a honeymoon trip. The staffs as well as the general manager really cared for us, a true FILIPINO hospitality. We had the BEST TIME on our trip to Coron and if I will be given a chance, I would love to live here. 😄

Date of stay: December 18 - 27, 2021

We would like to thank and mention some of the staffs, who took care of us during our 9-day trip: General Manager Gilbert, Mr Twing, Mr William, Mr Jojo and Ms Jas.
