Coron, Palawan (Calamian Island Group) -- sublime beauty

[faaip_de_oiad]

I was one of the 400 people stuck on the island last week. My flights were canceled for five straight days.

We ended up taking a ferry, sobrang hilo ako.

[luvko23]

grabe ha 5 straight days! ubos pera ko nyan..

[faaip_de_oiad]

^ the flights yesterday were also canceled, so it's actually six for some people who didn't take the ferry.

[freelancer517]

^ waaaah so pano na lang kung wala kang dalang extra money? meron ba dung tumatanggap ng credit card?

[luvko23]

how about nung saturday wala pa rin flights? kasi my friend nakaalis daw *** from manila going to coron. walang flights pabalik?

[faaip_de_oiad]

Saturday, walang nakaalis.
FOUR FLIGHTS, all canceled.

May flight din ata this week na nasa Coron na, pero bumalik dahil baha sa runway.

150 php shuttle to and from the airport is one of the biggest ripoffs ever. Imagine the situation last week - you were paying 150 to get to the airport and another 150 to get back to town once you know that the flight has been canceled! It's ridiculous.

It's a freaking 30 minute drive!

To put it into perspective, a 6 hr 130 mile bus ride from Baguio to Sagada costs only 220.


It's a rip off! Tsk tsk. Coron should be ashamed.

You should have called Cebu Pac 4 hours ahead of departure time para hindi ka na "rip-off". They will advise naman kung cancel ang flight mo o hindi.

I went to coron last month with my family. we stayed there for 2 days. Nagsuperferry kami ng friday fr manila. arrived in coron around 7am ng sat. nagbreakfast *** *** sa hotel then pasyal na agad. sobrang bitin *** 2 days. and tlagang na-appreciate ko ang ganda ng coron.

[smiley_md]

sa divelink resort pala kami nagstay. ok **** but the beach in front of the resort is not good for swimming. *** tourguide namin mabait at tlagang inackaso kami. sa banol beach pala kami nagpunta. sobra ganda. fine *** white sand at sab nila mas maganda kesa sa boracay.

Nope, the people in Coron Cebu Pac advised us to go to the airport.

Canceled or not, 150 for a 30 minute shuttle ride is a rip off.

yan ba yung malapit sa house ni DIY? near Sea Dive resort? Dapat kinuha niyo na lang muna contact details sa airport. Second hand info malamang yun sa kanila at mukhang wala kang mapapala dun sa mga yun.

iba naman samin, our dirvers are connected with cebu pac, unless cebu pac advise the driver to head to the airport, we won't, kaya di kami nagbabayad sa van, nakasakay lang kami, magkakasabay siguro tayo sa ferry kahapon.

[reighun]

we've met a lot of good people back in Coron, despite the trauma of multiple cancelled flights, i'll definitely go back.

400 people?! 5 days?! whoa!!

[baileys^]

grabe... kami rin cancelled flight namin last week... pero hindi **** kami umabot ng 5 stright days (excluding the planned days)...1 daylang naman kami nacancel. grabe....

thats true, P150 per way, only to find out that your flight was canceled was really ridiculous. plus yung hotel accomodation ko pa ULIT. then you woldn't enjoy your day pa kasi nga umuulan.....

[dude_k32]

guys, sorry tamad to backread. What are the best resorts here? i've been to club paradise na before. Sana un may beach front din, 12 pax sana kami pnta next month. Appreciate if you can suggest different resorts thanks

[two_zero]

ako din isa sa mga stranded 5days cancelled, pero sabi its 6days straight na cancelled kanina lang kami nakaalis... its not 400pax, almost 1000pax ang nandun, 500-600pax sa cebupac, 200-300 sa PAL, tapos sa zestair and seair pa pero konti lang yun.

i dont recommend coron until sept. based on my experince grabe katakot dun lalo na pagstranded ka ng ganito katagal.u dont have any choice but to wait until sunday for super ferry trip.

kawawa ang coron now lalo na sa mga foreigner na stranded, madalas nila sinasabi coron was a nightmare daw hahaha, hindi mo rin masisisi kasi ang daming connecting flight eh, kahit mga pinoy ayaw na din bumalik hehehe lalo na sa mga 1st timer diba.

share ko lang august 3 nagtxt ang cebupac na umakyat na kami sa airport pero ilang minutes lang cancelled ulit until 430pm walang nakaalis, yung iba na foreigner dahil gusto lang makaalis they take yung 8 seater na plane it cost 11700 per pax, twice pa nga bumalik yan eh bali 16pax lang ang nakaalis kahapon. grabe ang mahal.

[faaip_de_oiad]

Our friend Cathy missed two connecting flights because of the weather.

Baaaaad. I was supposed to go diving in Coron August 21-23 with Jan Acosta but I bailed out. I got too traumatized.

[PorkChop :o)]

Yikes!!!!

we have a scheduled vacation to coron this coming thursday up to monday..

Do you guys suggest that we still proceed?

hows the weather na ba dun? any feedback from your friends or contact?
