Top choice in Coron Town
This hidden beach resort on luscious Maricaban Bay (northeast Busuanga) represents excellent value at the upper midrange. It's on the mainland, but access is by boat from San Jose (free transfer, 10 minutes) and it feels like a private island. It boasts a nice range of accommodation, from rustic to modern, plus a spa, dive centre and activities galore.
Dugong-watching trips involve a long boat trip north to Calauit Island.
