Kokosnuss Garden Resort

It was quite alright, but the AC was very small and the hut was very hot

The KokosNuss Garden Resort is a lot different than before, now the rooms made of bamboo are gone, the old houses are gone, the KokosNuss Garden Resort is a testament to the resilience and beauty of nature, as well as the kindness and trustworthiness of humanity. Despite the devastating effects of the typhoon and fire that destroyed some of its structures, the spirit of the place lives on through its dedicated and caring staff. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside the resort is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the busy town of Coron Palawan. It's a reminder that amidst chaos and noise, we can always find a place of serenity and calm. The love and care put into the resort's 31-year-old rooms are evident, and the fair pricing shows that the owners prioritise the satisfaction and comfort of their guests above profit. KokosNuss Garden Resort is not just a place to stay, it's an experience that touches the heart and soul. It's a reminder that even amid destruction and chaos, hope and beauty can still thrive. So, if you need a break from the noise and stress of everyday life, come and experience the magic of KokosNuss Garden Resort. It's worth the visit!

The resort was "decent". Booked entirely based on price. Resort needs some serious TLC. They should invest in the property and it would be nice. Remove window aircon and install split system. Install small refrigerators in the rooms. Our aircon barely dropped the temperature even when i left it running 24 hours Restaurant was not good. Thank God for McDonald's down the street Based on the lack of attention to the property by the foreign owners, we would not recommend. It seems they are happy with things being what they are

Amazing place about 15 mins walk from Coron centre. Staff were so friendly and kind. A quiet paradise in the hubbub of Coron. Highly recommend.

This was our 2nd time staying at KokosNuss. The previous time was back in March, and we stayed 21 nights that time. This time we stayed 18 nights. Can't speak highly enough of the staff and the food. We were even invited to, and took part in, the staff Xmas party !! Such a fun night. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Prior to starting this review, i read some previous reviews, and i have to say, most of the negative ones are either without foundation completely, or were written by overly pretentious people. It's island accommodation, it's cheap by western standards, yet some people seem to expect 5 star luxury for $40 -$50 a night ? Please, be serious people ! In any case, we booked a 3 week stay at KokosNuss, and our positive opinion of the place started before we even checked in ! Applied for the S-Pass twice before leaving Australia, the 2nd time being immediately before boarding our flight to Manila. Was rejected both times, reason unknown. On arrival in Manila, it was supposed to be a few hours in a hotel then a morning flight to Coron, but we still didn't have an S-Pass, and i was at a loss as to what to do. As a last resort, and out of desperation, i messaged KokosNuss to tell them of the issue. Keep in mind that by this time, it was around 11.30pm. Luckily for us, Alma was the one who responded, and assured us that she would get it sorted on our behalf, and she said to check our S-Pass account by 6.30am. Sure enough, when i checked at around 6.30, the S-Pass was approved. Alma was an absolute angel and our saving grace. Staying up to nearly midnight to help us out ! I/We can't speak highly enough of Alma, and she is the epitome of true customer service. After a stressful night with the S-Pass situation, we finally arrived at KokosNuss the next morning, and were greeted by really friendly staff. We were shown to our room, with staff taking our suitcases and backpacks for us which was nice of them. The room itself was quite nice, with a big bed, and the bathroom was a tastefully decorated room, separate to the bedroom. One of the first things we needed was a good shower, and while the water wasn't hot, and the pressure wasn't great, it did the job for sure. We sat down for dinner that first night, and when our ordered meals arrived, i was gobsmacked by the serving sizes. I've travelled extensively around Asia (and the rest of the world) and nowhere have i been, particularly in Asia, where the serving sizes are a huge as at kokosNuss. Eateries/Cafes/Restaurants around Asia typically have serving sizes akin to what the locals would eat themselves, and as we know, Westerners/Europeans tend to eat bigger meals than Asian people, so you tend to order more to compensate. No need at KokosNuss, the meals are massive ! (and the range is good) Not only are they massive in serving size, they are all freshly prepared and cooked, hence why some reviews mention having to wait a while for your order. To have a freshly prepared and cooked meal, I’m quite happy to wait that little bit longer. In terms of value, the meals are really well priced, especially considering that you won’t finish any of the meals still feeling hungry. The next morning (our first full morning at KokosNuss) we ventured downstairs to the Al Fresco meals area for breakfast, and I mentioned to Alma

This was a great place to stay. Roosters and motorcycles were noisy but the beautiful gardens made up for it. My only complaint was lack of hot water and water pressure.
