One of my best lifetime experiences. One of the purest and clearest sea water from entire world. The lake has sweet water, unusually clear and warm, despite of its neighbourhood. The perspective from above is breathtaking. Worth all the effort to be there, a unique natural heritage spot.

We are so lucky travelling to Coron, Palwan and visiting Kayangan Lake this pandemic year 2022.. it is indeed an amazing journey tavelling from riding boat and trekking almost 400 steps upstream and downstream. This is out second visir to kayangan luckily tha LGU’s of Coron kept this Place so clean and beautiful.

Definitely nice view from the waypoint half the way. The lake itself is okay. Just a lake in the hills :D Most of the beaches are more interesting and have nicer colors. Only did snorkeling and it was little clouded day.

I recently had the privilege of visiting Kayangan Lake, and it's undeniably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The pristine waters are so clear; it feels like you're swimming in a natural aquarium. Now, a word of advice - the journey to get there involves a bit of a workout with some steep stairs. It might not be suitable for those with disabilities or the elderly. However, I can assure you, the breathtaking view and serene waters make every step worth it!

We visited Kanyagan Lake with a boattour. You start at the other side of the mountain with a dock, there are lots of other tourist boats here and a few shops where you can buy snacks and even freshly cut coconuts. There’s also a toilet available. After climbing the steps up the mountain you go down towards the lake, this only takes about 7 minutes. Here, you can jump from the dock into the cleanest lake in The Philippines. The native people that inhabit Coron Island even believe it is sacred. When swimming it is mandatory to wear a life vest, if you bring your snorkelling gear you can see the impressive rock formations in the water. The tour usually stays in the more shallow area of 8-10 metres. Certainly a must-visit when in Coron!

Wonderful! Its a bit of a walk until you get to the lake but it is worth it :) beauuuutiful. Very calmung surrounding. You can see until the ground through the crystal clear water.

Great view, clear water, lots of mosquitoes, not many fish, good for a swim. Very crowded if you're in a group. I would suggest a private tour goes there early

You need to climb to get to the viewdeck and to get to the lake. The beauty of nature is magnificent, the water there is warm and lot of tourists may come and go.

Just a lake, beaches are more interesting. If you accompany elderly people. I bet most of them cannot go upstairs. But the view below was amazing and relaxing. Great for sight seeing. There are few food shops also

The stunning scenery here is well worth the climb up a set of stairs. Following the staircase will lead you to a lake, underneath which lies a majestic natural landscape. Don't forget to capture it on video; replaying it later will still evoke a sense of awe. The warm lake water is not too salty, providing a serene spot to lie back, relax, and rejuvenate before you embark on your next adventure.

Nice view! Not recommended for the elderly tho since you need to climb up and down the stairs to see this. There's a long line just to capture this view on top however you can just opt to swim immediately.

One of my favourite places in Coron. The view from the top is breathtaking. You can literally relax just by enjoying the view; however, you might have to wait in a queue to take a picture of this famous spot. And time is limited! Not the most comfortable scenario, but it is worth waiting. The lake is large and seeing the mountains in the background is super enjoyable. There are also a couple of stalls with fruits and souvenirs you can buy before leaving. Be aware if you travel with elderly people or children, there's a couple of stairs you need to go through in order to reach the lake.

It’s the first stop of our ultimate tour. We’re so lucky that at least one stop with a sunny sky. Many people were waiting for taking photos at the peak view so we went to the lake first. The color of the lake is stunning beautiful, even there’s no fish under the lake. It started raining while we waited for taking pictures at the peak during 20-30 minutes.

Before you get soaked, you’ll have to use those legs for a little climb. On top, a breathtaking view of the lake will surprise you. There’s usually a queue for tourists who want to take their photo with the lake as the background. For this reason, I highly advise going here early. This is part of the Super Ultimate Coron tour.

This place is a hidden paradise. I was there two times, both over romantic. Not many people. Very private. A different space just for few people. No sounds of motors and people, just sounds of nature. Away from the town on a separate island, but if You want to get to the town You can get a boat any time, just 15 minute ride and You are back into the town. Baquit island is a place You don't want to leave. When I remember this place my eyes get wet, because I always will miss it and I will come back again. I want to shout out to all the staff members from Coron Underwater Garden Resort. They are the best! The kindest and most beautiful of all the Filipinos.

The dedicated staff members truly made me feel like a valued guest, and their commitment to providing an unforgettable experience was evident in every aspect of my stay. Whether you're seeking a relaxing island getaway, an adventure-filled vacation, or simply a place to unwind and rejuvenate, The Island Hotels is the perfect choice. From the attentive and friendly staff to the stunning location and simple well-designed facilities, highly recommended

we stayed in Coron Underwater Garden Resort from 4-7 December, it was one of the loveliest places I ever visited. it's on a small island surrounded my mangroves and crystal clear water about 10 minutes by boat from Coron town. our room was on stilts over the water with incredible views all around. the staff are all lovely, big shout out to Jericho and Liezel at front desk in particular. kayaks are available and they can organise many local tours. I loved the pool and pavilion. a minor critique is the limited food menu but the town is not too far. all in, I loved my stay and will definitely return. thanks to all there!

The staff are very accommodating and of excellent service. They attended to our needs very well. I'd recommend it those who are in for having a nice morning or looking forward to beautiful sunset. However, I would advise others who are not comfortable with boat travel or with advanced age having difficulty walking or moving around as riding in boats and in the transfer from boat to docking area makes it difficult for them. Also, if you are planning to stroll around town late at night, their boat has a final schedule going back only until around 6 or 7 pm

This place calls itself a resort, but lacks all the amenities of a resort. Do not go here. You have to eat dinner at their place, but the food is terrible. We had noodles which were extremely oily and severely undercooked pizza as thin as a cracker that we had to pay 10 euros for. The pool had not been cleaned, the hot water stopped working in our room and they would not offer us a different shower. The whole place looks run down in general. There was no working wifi, but also no service at the resort. Lower your expectations if you do want to go here. On the positive side: our room had a balcony where we could have our really expensive breakfast. (Breakfast was supposed to be included but that ended up being 1 piece of toast with egg or 1 american pancake)

My recent stay at Coron Underwater Garden Resort was an unforgettable experience that left me feeling completely rejuvenated and refreshed. From the moment I set foot on the property, I was captivated by the resort's enchanting charm and the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings. The check-in process was efficient and welcoming, setting the tone for the warm hospitality I would experience throughout my stay. The resort staff exuded genuine warmth and attentiveness, making me feel like a valued guest from the very beginning. The accommodations at Coron Underwater Garden Resort were nothing short of spectacular. My room offered a mesmerizing view of the shimmering ocean, and the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore lulled me into a state of tranquility each evening. The room itself was elegantly furnished, with every modern amenity I could desire for a comfortable stay. The resort's grounds were a tropical paradise, meticulously maintained with lush gardens, swaying palm trees, and vibrant flowers. It was a pleasure to stroll along the well-kept pathways and immerse myself in the natural beauty that surrounded me. One of the highlights of my stay was the resort's private beach. The soft, powdery sand and crystal-clear waters beckoned me to relax under the sun or take a leisurely swim. I also appreciated the availability of beach umbrellas and loungers, ensuring that every moment by the water was as comfortable as possible. Coron Underwater Garden Resort also excelled in its culinary offerings. The on-site restaurants served a delectable range of cuisines, each dish prepared with utmost care and flair. Whether I indulged in fresh seafood, savoring local specialties, or tried international favorites, each meal was a delightful journey of flavors.

Staying here in Underwater Coron is a nice experience. It is such a really great working space. Well, for me because I was working at night and the internet service is still great specially in the pavilion area. That was my spot for a week of staying there and working remotely. Plus, I got to listen to baby stingrays swimming and jumping out of the water!!! That was really awesome! 😍The place is serene and calm. I'm surrounded by water! How awesome is that? The only thing I wish is different is the food service. The food is not that good and it takes long enough to wait. They also don't have water sports. Though it's located near water, there's really not much going on when it comes to activities. It'll be so much better if they do have at least some water activities around their area. But overall, our stay there is great!

Our stay at Coron Underwater Garden Resort was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, offering great sea views from the deck. The staff, especially Christian, were very helpful and proactive. While the pool was a nice feature, it seemed a bit neglected. The breakfast portions were surprisingly small, and the absence of unlimited coffee or refreshments was disappointing. The restaurant's early closure at 9 pm felt inconvenient, especially on an island where alternatives are limited, and the shuttle to town shuts after 7:30. The facilities left much to be desired, appearing dated and poorly maintained. The prevalence of insects, spiders, and spiderwebs in the rooms, though somewhat expected in the Philippines, was a bit overwhelming. The bathrooms, particularly in 2-4 person rooms, were uncomfortably small. Despite these issues, the manager's personal touch during our arrival and departure created a positive connection. Overall, Coron Underwater Garden Resort has potential, but improvements in facilities, dining options, and pest control would significantly enhance the guest experience.

This place is amazing. They have a saltwater infinity pool and a regular treated freshwater infinity pool. The rooms are facing the sea and it's absolutely beautiful in the sunrise and sunset settings. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. Everyone did their best to make sure i was enjoying my stay and often gave suggestions on how we could enjoy the resort more (a great example was they asked me if i wanted to have breakfast at the gazebo instead of the restaurant, and they brought all our food there). I would definitely come back and i recommend this resort to everyone.

Coron Underwater resort has a lot of potential but due to ownership / management there are several things that are not being done. There are no amenities for entertainment and their menu was horrible because a lot of things they are no longer available. This place calls themselves a resort and there are no refrigerators in the room with beverages nor resort like effects. Other resorts have welcomed us with iced tea and escorted us to our rooms.

RECONSIDER YOUR STAY HERE! Please read before booking. The staff here were great however management is the real issue. We booked the over water bungalow and only upon arrival was not told that it was under maintenance. We were issued a different room (even though we had already paid for the bungalow). It was only when we questioned our booking did they tell us. We later saw a couple move rooms to an over water bungalow that was supposedly under construction. Which was infuriating to see. The resort has a transfer boat to and from the island to the mainlands with great boat crew. The boat only goes to and fro a handful of times between 8am and 5:30pm so if you want to eat out anytime after 4pm, you cannot. They have set it up so you must eat dinner and breakfast at the resort. Especially if you do any island hopping tours or diving the tours begin at 8:30 and end at 5:30 meaning you are forced to take the first and last boats leaving you no time to eat out or collect food/drinks to bring back to the resort. The kitchen at the resort has a very limited menu. Forget being vegetarian or vegan. And of the limited menu, IF the food is available (quite often what you want is unavailable) it’s not great quality and costs over double what it would on the mainland. And don’t forget the 10% surcharge added to all items. Costing roughly 800 peso (880 with surcharge) per meal. If you order a cocktail don’t expect to get what you ordered. A pina colada is a bit of green cordial with some form of alcohol. Breakfast was included for us. However of the fewer than ten options to order from, more than four of them were unavailable. The egg meals come with one egg and you must pay extra per egg. The coffee is shockingly watery too. Again no vegetarian or vegan options. Not even Pescatarian either. If you’re hoping to snorkel or swim around the resort then don’t. It’s full of deadly box jellyfish from the mangrove and sea urchins. The pool was the best part of the resort. And the room we did get wasn’t half bad either. This resort has great potential however it was a massive let down for us. Again, the staff were wonderful so it’s disappointing to have to write this negative review. Plus no wifi in the bedrooms. Only common areas if it’s working.

The resort is located on a island near Coron town proper, just 10mins by boat, hotel provides free boat shuttle. Hotel is newly renovated, have different types of room, very clean and comfortable, complete with slippers and toothbrush, have water and 24 hours Aircon. WiFi networks is great because of using satellite link. Staff is friendly and approachable, Free breakfast and the taste is good. Also have bar. Place is great for relaxing, very quiet and big size enough for family vacation or party. Function room and family room also available. Very friendly resort with reasonable price.

I recently stayed at Coron Underwater Garden Resort and was thoroughly disappointed with my experience. Despite promises of a 50% refund due to the substandard room conditions, the resort management has been completely unresponsive. Agoda, the booking platform, has also been useless in helping me secure the refund. It's incredibly frustrating to feel like I'm going in circles, with no resolution in sight. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this resort at all costs.

READ BEFORE BOOKING HERE Me and my wife stayed for3 nights and our first night we booked the solo bongglo room and found out they gave us a room joined to another room so we told them they apologized and we would get it the next night the room we originally booked. So we got back from our first day and was told we could not get the room even though they told us it was available the night before they gave it to a new guest that just checked it. The first night my wife see a cockroach in the bathroom by our toothbrush. She through them away. Our first dinner we found out that they charge 3× the price for food then anywhere else with a 10% service charge. And service was terrible food. My chicken was not cooked all the way. So I will never go there again and want everyone to be aware of the lack of customer service they have. I have never in my life did a review of any kind but this was such a bad experience I had to do it. Thanks

Where to start....be careful of false promises Firstly Isabella and Christian were lovely friendly staff who go out for their way to ensure you enjoy your stay. However despite advertising the following on numerous accommodation websites including their own direct one, none fo the following exist: 1) tea and coffee facilities in the room - non existent 2) private beach - removed over 3 yrs ago but still advertised 3) free shuttles to the main town of coron - they exist, there is a charge, and they are limited first is 8am, last 7.30pm 4) no badminton court - yes they say it's offered 5) no fishing- again, advertised 6)free watersports - kayaks are a charge as are snorkelling equipment when they have it. 7) games room is boggle and books in reception 8) only a single small pool - beware rooms with direct pool access have empty pools outside of them. 9) lounge area - there are a total of 3 sunbeds and 4 chairs at the pool area which at best is 10m2. So a tight squeeze with more than one room present. 10) no other social areas, as you can't walk or leave the premises and there are no other relaxing spaces on the island within the resort 11) no housekeeping- despite telling us it was daily, no one came to our room to replace towels or top up toilet paper or replace drinking water once. And no we didn't leave a do not disturb sign outside. 12) no manager or supervisor to discuss any challenges with. No one wants to take responsibility for anything. But are happy to charge you for everything. Cancellation fee is 60% when they say on the website it's only 15%. If you'd like a room far away from town without easy access. A relaxing boat ride and don't mind a busy pool without walking far, then it is nice. However if you'd like to explore or venture around the area, stay somewhere else. When we realised the activities and facilities were not as advertised, we requested to leave 1 night early to find them elsewhere, and were told we would still have to pay the full price for the final night. No Manager or supervisor ever came to speak to us directly in 3 days, and we had to chase constantly to get a result and leave early which was very stressful, and far from the relaxing escape we had hoped for. Also if you are female beware of attracting unwanted attention from shareholders staying there despite trying to keep to yourself and stating you are not single. The general staff are lovely, and friendly. And the pool is nice, although a little small. But on the whole an experience I'd never do again for the price charged. There are nicer more spacious places in town that are cheaper or similar.

It was a really great stay. They provided transfer to and from the airport which made it easy to go there, the place is in its own island, very serene and relaxing. Given that, they provide a boat transfer from the main land to the resort which was very convenient. The staff are very nice and attentive, they helped booking a tour around the islands in Coron which is a good decision. Touring the different islands is a must when in there. The room was adequate, we stayed in one of the floating vilas. It was a unique experience. The bed was comfortable enough, amenities were provided. The air conditioning was also good. Since the place is away from town, we ate a lot in their in-house restaurant. The food were great and always freshly cooked. There’s also free breakfast, they’ll cook your chosen meal after ordering. All in all, it was a great stay and will stay here again. If you want peace and quiet, this is definitely the place.

Nicest hotel and accommodations that I've ever experienced, and I have been to a lot of them. Some where I stayed presidents of the USA! It is very serene and relaxing. I caught a couple of Barracuda from the pier, which was exciting! The restaurant manager, " Christian," helped me mount the head and prepared the 2 footer for us to eat that evening flanked by 2 Sea Mantis shrimp, which were delicious!

Interesting pick this time!! This stay requires a boat to get to this place, and I love it! I have traveled high and low to finally get to a place like this. Somewhat remote simply because it requires a boat for the final leg to get here. The room I have is excellent and right on the water and actually overhangs the water like a few post cards I kept saying I wanted to see! Well, here it is. Excellent staff, great service, and I am writing this while sitting at happy hour eating dinner! Post card perfect and the only disappointment I have is I didn't plan it better to stay longer!!

This is a unique lake in Coron. Due to different salinities the temperature of the water changes quickly depending on the depth you are swimming. This makes the lake ideal for freediving. When at the surface you get an eerie feeling when looking at the limestone formations disappearing in the depths. Fortunately, the lake is only inhabited by barracuda who are not dangerous for humans (although they are not seen very often) and small bottom feeder fish. If you do a boat tour this lake is worth a visit!

Clean and clear freshwater lake. Surrounded by unique shapes of rock formation.

Barracuda Lake in Coron is deep, with limestone formations and crevices underwater, perfect for diving. Life vests are available to keep you afloat while enjoying the rocky scenes. It's enchanting!

Gorgeous lake! It’s so warm. Great for free diving so make sure you rent some flippers! Known for a huge barracuda in there but apparently friendly. A few aggressive little fish that bite you!

It’s great when you come with your goggles or snorkel to see the rock formations under the water. Sometimes it can get crowded because many divers come to see the Barracuda fish. The water is warm and the scenery is relaxing.

In Coron, Barracuda Lake is known for its diving site, where you can find bones of fish on the shoreline. Salt and freshwater, which is the optimum temperature to dive in, are accompanied by blue lakes and scenery. A normal island-hopping excursion in Coron also includes a visit to Barracuda Lake. Before you reach the pier, you'll observe limestone cliffs towering above the ocean as you take a boat ride to the lake. It's amongst the most magical experiences you'll have on your Coron tour. Before jumping into the blue waves, take a lot of pictures and movies. Bring deeper scuba gear or go freediving to feel the lake's thermal gradient. The forms of the lake make for a lovely view. How to get there You may either join a group excursion (Coron Island Tour) or hire a private boat to Barracuda Lake from Coron Town Proper. Best time to visit Highly recommended to visit during summer months. Go early in the morning when the location is less congested. Because the lake's entry is narrow, it might be busy during peak hours. Entrance fee There is an entrance fee to Barracuda Lake

Baracuda Lake in Coron, Philippines—a surreal spot where layers of fresh and saltwater create a unique thermal stratification. The temperature changes as you dive, offering a fascinating underwater experience. Freediving and Scuba diving is one of the best experience here.

Really crowded place. You go up to shore and climb a little bit of stairs to the other side to the lake. We even waited a couple hours and came back later because the bay was completely full of boats. When we were leaving, a lot of people had to walk/swim to shore still. As you can see in one video, a throng of people couldn’t swim so they were toted around in a train to get to/from their boat. Kind of amusing, but also since they can’t swim… On the other side at barracuda lake, the area to get in the water is very tiny, and they crowded the platform to the point you couldn’t walk on the platform from the stairs to get to the area to jump in. Barracuda lake itself: cool to see the limestone cliffs go down into the water for sure, but just realize there is no marine life or corals or anything. We dove down 14-15meters or so and couldn’t feel the temperature change on the day we were there, so if this is important to you, maybe plan a scuba dive or plan to bring your proper free dive mask as the squeeze gets to be a bit much on the eyes any deeper than 15m with the rental masks provided (in my opinion).

Freediving paradise. Me and my family have a superb experience. The cold and hot water will amaze you.

Such a gem in Coron. Clean, blue-green, and captivating. The tall rock formation will greet you above, and the inviting waters will get you excited for a dip! The funny thing is that I haven’t seen a barracuda during my visit 😅 This is part of the Super Ultimate Coron tour.

It’s the second stop of our ultimate tour. The rock around the path and the lake are so incredible. I can’t do free diving so I’m really impressed someone who can do it. However, I’ve tried to take a picture with opened eyes under the water.

Looking down felt so terrifying! But I took the courage to dive in coz it's my first time to use fins and it felt amazing!

One of a kind -Best views and crystal clear water! Highly recommended. One of the best spot in Coron Palawan. The lake is few minutes hike from the boat and challenging paths like small wooden steps above big sharp rocks. It is not very safe for people have mobility and balance issue. If you are going island hoping bring cash with you because theres some snack stands in the island that sells everything from all kinds of beverages, alcohol, hot bananaque and fresh coconut drinks.

Beautiful lunch stop with lovely white sands. There is a beautiful coral reef which you can swim to.. You can also buy fresh coconuts here to complement your tour lunches.

We went here while our boat (Herbert’s Private Land & Boat Tours) went back to drop one of our group members back at the dock to catch his flight. It was a bit busy when we first got there with 2 other tour boats being there/ they didn’t stay for long and then we had the place to ourselves to take stunning photos and eat lunch and have some coconuts on the beach (50 pesos)

Amazing white & fine sand, clean green sea. No big waves, so the children can enjoy swimming all day🥰🤩

Enjoyed it. Ate lunch there. The most relaxing vacation you'll ever take is one to the Philippines. You might leave feeling 10 years younger. 🙂

Great spot for having lunch and chill! Try to avoid 11-13 since it gets crowded. The beach itself is quite small but the water is amazing 🤩

We had our lunch here on our group boat tour. The beach is beautiful! It’s small but the sand is perfect and the water is so clear! Lots of lovely picnic benches to eat at and a shop selling drinks and snacks.

We had lunch here. Great for swimming and kayaking too. Good rock formations for picture taking

This wasn't originally a part of our itinerary, but because we couldn't go to the places we were supposed to go to, we had to come here for lunch. I know this ain't the best beach in the area, but I loved it! It's a great place to swim and have lunch. They also have a mini store here from where you can buy some snacks and drinks.

White Sand, clear waters, beautiful rock formations, blooming kalachuchi flowers. Perfect!

A place to have your lunch when you book a day island hopping tour. The water is clean and clear as always. Still offer you plenty of coral and fish for snorkeling

Beautiful smaller beach with white sand a black rocks in the background! Can be very crowded, especially during the lunch time. Great spot for snorkeling and freediving.
