My first ever Coron, Palawan trip was last December with DOT Mimaropa and it was an amazing experience, didn't think I'd go back soon-- this time for TAG RESORT Coron! Last August, I went back to this beautiful island paradise with a few PR & content creator friends. I already visited the resort last December, but it was just a quick peek. So when I got invited back by the resort itself, I was super excited! Best part? I get to stay in their luxurious Tadhana villa. Stories & photos below!
The trip was organized by my friends Denise Mallabo & Dana Santos of Happy Consultants. According to them, this trip was supposed to happen last 2019 but the pandemic happened. So glad that tourism recovery is now gaining momentum! This means more business and livelihood to locals.

Our ride going to the resort!
Set against the panorama of the Philippines' enchanted paradise, TAG Resort is the perfect takeoff point for the ultimate Coron experience. Located in Sitio Dipulao, it's just a few minutes away from the airport & Coron town.
The rustic theme of the resort pays homage to nature & local culture, with borrowed elements from Tagbanua lore, Mindanaoan art & Filipino craftsmanship. With 112 well-appointed rooms and casitas, a lagoon pool, a poolside lounge, a sprawling commercial strip, an iconic Tree of Light, a convention center, and a main ballroom that can accommodate up to 500 guests, TAG Resort Coron is a destination on its own - much like the enchanted island it calls home.
TAG Resort has all the eco-friendly comforts and conveniences of a green hotel with top-tier room options and superb accommodations for every traveler and budget.

BARRACUDA LAKE
Located on the north shore of Coron island, this famous dive site enclosed by limestone cliffs is famous for its deep, crystal clear water that also gives you an extraordinary experience because of the changes in temperature and salinity -- known as thermocline and halocline. I swear it's like being transported to a different world. Avatar feels! Hehe. The entrance fee is P200 and the guide fee is P500.
Happy kids swimming

We were all tired & feeling cold (coz of swimming & the rain) so a dip at the Maquinit Hot Spring was just the perfect way to cap off our day!

Finished our day with a nice dinner at Buntag resto & drinks by the pool! We wanted to drink & hang out longer but it rained hard so we all decided to call it a night.
