Two Seasons Coron Bayside Hotel

Two Seasons Coron Bayside Hotel stands on the National Road in Barangay Tagumpay, in Coron town on the bay. The hotel has 48 rooms and suites, including Standard, Bayview, Superior and Bayview Deluxe rooms and three Panorama Suites, ranging from about 26 to 51 square metres, each with a verandah. The Bayside Infinity Pool looks out over Coron Bay, and the hotel also has BAYA Resto Lounge, a skydeck lounge and a gym. It is a four-class property.

Coron is reached from El Nido by ferry or by air, and this hotel suits the second half of a Palawan trip. Busuanga airport is about 43 minutes by car, and an airport shuttle is available on request for a fee. In town, the bay and the port are the focus, and reviews are mixed on walkability, with some guests walking to the port and others using a short tricycle ride to reach shops and restaurants. Island-hopping tours usually collect guests from the hotel or a nearby pier.

Rooms are well sized for the price. The Standard rooms are the smallest, while Bayview rooms add a view of the bay and the Panorama Suites are the largest, with a king bed. Several rooms offer deck access, which is pleasant in the evening. The infinity pool is the main facility, with a separate children's pool, and in-room massage and a gym are offered rather than a full spa.

Reviews describe breakfast as included and varied, but one guest found the buffet limited, so confirm what your rate includes. Free self parking and free in-room Wi-Fi are offered.

The hotel suits couples and families who want comfort after a day on the water. Coron is a busy boating town, so noise from the road is possible, and light sleepers may prefer a higher floor or a bay-side room. Keep an eye on boat departure times when you plan your transfers, and plan at least two nights so you can fit the Coron island tour with Kayangan Lake and a rest day.
