If there's one place I'd go back to, it would be Palawan. I wouldn't get tired of exploring the city, countryside more so, the beaches! I was fortunate enough to go to one of the most popular diving spots in the Philippines: Coron, Palawan.
Coron is a small, quaint town in the northern part of Palawan. When I visited this place way back 2009, I was amazed with the simplicity of life and naturally peaceful surroundings (over- and underwater, that is.).
I would like to share with you some of the photos back then...

Prime hotels and beach resorts are located in the farther islands of Coron. Being a thrifty traveler, staying in one of the budget hotels in town was the way to go. At that time, Darayonan Lodge seemed the best option for our accommodation. It's accessible to almost everywhere; and the staff were friendly, too. My friend and I initially booked for a native cottage but, the bamboos were squeaky as we move around the room so, we requested to be transferred to their newly renovated building. The rooms were equipped with an aircon, comfy bed, veranda and heated shower. The upgrade price was fair enough for the price of approximately Php 3000 for 3 days/2 nights stay, for 2 persons.

This is my favorite spot of all --- the Kayangan Lake. If you are a first timer in Coron, you will surely fall in love with the island as much as I did. And I can't wait to go back! :)
