It's part of my bucket list, and that never mind I won't be visiting other places so as long I can visit Coron. I categorize places I want to visit into 2 kinds.. the first one are the places I want to visit because it's accessible, because it's easier to travel there, and because it's still a new experience. The second kind are the places I would definitely visit. These places are the ones I need to visit before I die.. the places I am dying to visit.. and Coron is part of the latter. Palawan is home to the best beaches not just in the Philippines but also in the world. Filipinos and foreigners would include this in their travel must visit list because of the majestic and stunning beaches. Out of all the three famous destinations in Palawan, which are namely Puerto Princesa, El Nido, and Coron, Coron as they say is the least urbanized, you can't have those \u003Ci\u003E\"walwal\"\u003C\/i\u003E night life here. And truthful enough, Coron is a quaint quiet town where life is very simple. Bars can be counted on the fingers of your hand. I would say the town is very laid back and to be honest, the locals are very nice.\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-7ixYpTaCwhw\/WEBRURSG3WI\/AAAAAAAAGLw\/z8lYoRHeYjs1fJrekQktn8TMlUIq1ZZwACEw\/s1600\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B3.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-7ixYpTaCwhw\/WEBRURSG3WI\/AAAAAAAAGLw\/z8lYoRHeYjs1fJrekQktn8TMlUIq1ZZwACEw\/s640\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B3.jpg\" title=\"Busuanga Airport\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003EAt the Busuanga airport\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Mp5DfPUblJ4\/WEBQ9UOyosI\/AAAAAAAAGLg\/3Dda5x_ahCYaRpUPuEDdasDoqqLKXwXswCEw\/s1600\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B15.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Mp5DfPUblJ4\/WEBQ9UOyosI\/AAAAAAAAGLg\/3Dda5x_ahCYaRpUPuEDdasDoqqLKXwXswCEw\/s640\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B15.jpg\" title=\"Malcapuya Island\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003EChillin' at Malcapuya Island :)\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/--Yk5yHn6fsY\/WEBQVb2cG6I\/AAAAAAAAGLM\/Owg64IOI4XEbaKEGp81TsJkXF5gbknvvQCEw\/s1600\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B11.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/--Yk5yHn6fsY\/WEBQVb2cG6I\/AAAAAAAAGLM\/Owg64IOI4XEbaKEGp81TsJkXF5gbknvvQCEw\/s640\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B11.jpg\" title=\"Bulog Dos Island\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nEarlier this year, I booked our plane ticket from a seat sale to Coron. And since it was a seat sale, it all happened so fast. All I know is that I booked our roundtrip ticket for only P2366.00, and that amount is for me and my boyfriend already! I was so excited! Because aside from it's Coron, it's also the week of my birthday and I'm celebrating it there! I was thinking of splurging and booking a posh hotel but then I came to my senses and realized that I can still enjoy Coron without being posh and splurging at all.\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nSo fast forward to November, I cannot contain my excitement anymore.. I catch myself day dreaming from time to time the wonders I'll be seeing. There was never a day that I didn't researched about the place. On where we will eat, where to buy this and that. You know the usual stuff.. planning your outfits and stuff. So when the day of our departure is getting nearer and nearer, news about the typhoon is also the rage over social media. It's not a super typhoon but still, it's still a typhoon. And unfortunately for us, the typhoon will pass through Coron the same day of our arrival there! And so while I was excited and researching about the place, I am also checking from time to time the weather forecasts. It's really killing me. Why in the world would a typhoon pass by Coron the exact day we'll arrive there!\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI keep on praying our flight won't be cancelled. It didn't. When we landed, it was still cloudy but there are few rainshowers. The sun is still peeking through but come night time, it rained so hard that I was already furious as our island hopping the next day might get cancelled too as the island hopping for that day was cancelled.

By the way, Maquinit hot spring is far from town center so if you're planning to visit it, the tricycle in the town can be rented for 300 pesos, regardless of how many people you are in your group as long as you can fit in the tricycle. Maximum is 6 persons. The drivers will drive you there and back to the town. They will wait for you while you dip on the hot spring. :) There's a baggage counter inside in the mini sari-sari store so no worries, there are also many cottages you can sit on while chatting with friends.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-S-4dMpeXK6c\/WEBQVsje3oI\/AAAAAAAAGLQ\/lb4xp8VOH84Wls4sEFjY-peIJMlc9HFzgCEw\/s1600\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-S-4dMpeXK6c\/WEBQVsje3oI\/AAAAAAAAGLQ\/lb4xp8VOH84Wls4sEFjY-peIJMlc9HFzgCEw\/s640\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B1.jpg\" title=\"Island hopping :)\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-tIQBbTo8duE\/WEBRGQz_xCI\/AAAAAAAAGLo\/LKrJW2hdvYQPV-_8ZRhgKDLUR4PQqIyfQCEw\/s1600\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-tIQBbTo8duE\/WEBRGQz_xCI\/AAAAAAAAGLo\/LKrJW2hdvYQPV-_8ZRhgKDLUR4PQqIyfQCEw\/s640\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B2.jpg\" title=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-HQKlNOyrdRQ\/WEBRgCgtIgI\/AAAAAAAAGL4\/so3E14jcuwk5eJQiqnU61dVrSlhSS88TgCEw\/s1600\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B6.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-HQKlNOyrdRQ\/WEBRgCgtIgI\/AAAAAAAAGL4\/so3E14jcuwk5eJQiqnU61dVrSlhSS88TgCEw\/s640\/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B6.jpg\" title=\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nWhat I noticed around in Coron is that the food is expensive even in the carinderia's.
