The rooms were spacious with a gorgeous view, although I did find the lack of air conditioning a bit uncomfortable at times. The staff was generally helpful, and the dining options were plentiful, but I recommend checking the outdoor dining setup. Overall, a fantastic choice for relaxation with a few minor drawbacks.

Discovery Island Resort is a hidden gem that offers a personal and relaxing experience on a tranquil island just a boat ride away from Coron. The service is exceptional, making every effort to meet your needs, and the private boat tours are a fantastic way to explore the area.
