There isn’t enough being said about Coron, Palawan. In an archipelago of over 7000 islands, our country is blessed with many gorgeous beaches but the islands of Coron are probably some of the best beaches you can go to locally. With travel restrictions loosening up, the island of Coron is seeing the return of tourists. All we needed was to show our vaccine cards and we were allowed to go straight into our Coron adventure from the airport.
The thing about Coron is its close proximity to over 50 islets and you will have to take a boat to visit the different tourist spots and beaches around the area. From a previous trip (pre-pandemic) I had in Coron, we had to book a boat separately at the port to go and visit Kayangan Lake or the Twin Lagoon or Siete Pecados. Because of the protocols from the coast guard, you would usually leave by 9 am and you’d get to all the beaches and diving sites at the same time as everyone else.
But on this most recent trip, we booked at Casa Fidelis, a gorgeous forest resort away from the hustle and bustle. What separates Casa Fidelis from other resorts is that you can customize your Coron trip with them, as they provide meals and boat rides for your entire stay. You don’t have to book the boats separately, everything is handled by Casa Fidelis for you – including meals.
Casa Fidelis at night.
For our trip, we had a jam-packed 5-day, 4-night adventure. On our first day, we visited one of the calm and quiet beaches around the area as we had just arrived at the airport. On our second day, we had a jam-packed day as we visited Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, Barracuda Lake, Banol Beach, Siete Pecados, and Maquinit Hot Springs. Our third day had us take a trip to Pass Island, where we slept overnight under a blanket of stars before heading out to Black Island and Dibutanay Island. And for our last day, we decided to stay in the resort, swim at their pool and relax until it was time for our flight.
The Cave at Black Island
I was with my friends who are active and energetic and so they wanted such an itinerary. All of this was arranged through Casa Fidelis. They picked us up from the airport and, as they have their own boat and their own separate port, they can leave earlier than 9 am so, on our second day, we were able to get to Kayangan Lake by 7am before any other tourists were there. We had the whole place to ourselves!
We also had lots of fun eating delicious meals on the boat on our way from one island to the next.
Lunch at Banol Beach.
That’s what’s great about this trip, it was completely customized to the experience that we wanted. This group wanted to make the most of our trip. If I had been with my other set of friends, we might have requested for less destinations per day and maybe added more cultural side trips – like a visit to the St. Augustine Parish Church or a visit to Culion island – or we could have stayed in Casa Fidelis on our third day just to relax and enjoy a trek in their forest. There’s no signal at the resort so you have no choice but to go on full vacation mode, which can be such a blessing, surprisingly.
Having their own boat and port is such a blessing because it meant we can go wherever we wanted and at whatever time was convenient for us. Since we didn’t mind sleeping early and waking up early, we were able to make the long boat trip to Pass Island so we could see the gorgeous sky filled with stars at night. I thought the sand of Banol beach was some of the finest I have encountered, but there’s nothing like the sheer beauty of Black Island and the fine white sand there.

Because the trip is completely customized, the price range adjusts depending on the itinerary and the size of the group. We were a group of ten, staying for 5 days and 4 nights, and we had a jam-packed itinerary so we were charged a little over 7k per person per day (exclusive of airfare and entrance fees to the various destinations).
When you consider how much we were able to do and that all the food and transportation were covered, it was quite a steal. The resort itself is large, comfy, and filled with the comforts of a great resort – hot water, A/C, comfortable beds – and they even have life vests and snorkeling gear.
Coron is really a place that everyone has got to go to and as tourism is beginning to pick up now, it’s really the time to book a flight and experience it before the large influx of tourists comes. Coron can be overwhelming and complicated but you can simplify your life and customize your trip before you even go by booking at Casa Fidelis. They’ll take care of everything the moment you land on Busuanga Airport.
Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading airline, welcomes the new year with its trademark P1SO sale for select international routes for everyJuan.
For as low as PHP 1 one-way base fare (exclusive of fees and surcharges), Cebu Pacific’s #CEBSuperSeatFest is up for grabs until January 6, 2023. Travel period is from February 1 to May 31, 2023, perfect for travelers to plan their dream trips ahead, across CEB’s international route network.
“Now is the perfect time to fulfill your dream trips abroad, with our trademark PISO fare offer. We are encouraged with the momentum as more international destinations ease travel restrictions, and more travelers are confidently flying again,” said Carmina Romero, Cebu Pacific Corporate Communications Director.
Whether passengers want to visit scenic Bali; or have a coffee crawl in Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi ; or a food trip in Nagoya or Hong Kong – all these and more are possible now.
CEB also extends this P1so sale for its domestic flights on the same travel period. This includes flights to Cebu, Davao, Dumaguete, Iloilo, and a lot more across the airline’s widest Philippine network.
Passengers with existing travel funds may use these to pay for flights and add-ons during CEB’s seat sales. Apart from Travel Fund, other payment options may also be used, such as payment centers, credit/debit cards, and e-wallets.
To date, CEB flies to a total of 34 domestic and 19 international destinations. The airline continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety while it operates with a 100% fully vaccinated crew, 98% of whom have been boosted – all to ensure everyJuan flies safely and conveniently on Cebu Pacific.
While winter is settling in over the Northern Hemisphere, it’s freezing even in more tropical climes this year as Agoda introduces its new ‘Price Freeze’ feature. Price Freeze allows travelers to lock in the best deals on Agoda, pay a marginal deposit, and freeze the price from at least one day to up to 14 days.
“Asia has re-opened, and the world is back traveling, yet people still want to know that they are getting the best possible deals, and that’s what Agoda always strives to ensure”, said Omri Morgenshtern, CEO of Agoda. “There are times when consumers aren’t ready to fully commit to their purchase and need time to decide, but we don’t think that should mean they miss out on the best deals. By introducing price freeze technology to the Agoda platform we are able to offer travellers even greater flexibility, choice and best prices.”
Price Freeze truly warms the hearts of bargain hunters as even though throughout the ‘price freeze’ period, accommodation costs may go up or down, consumers won’t pay any more than the agreed deal and in fact will enjoy additional savings should the price drop. If travelers choose not to book within the specified price freeze period, only their initial deposit is forfeited.
To mark the launch of this price freezing feature, available on desktop and mobile web at launch, and available globally and on all Agoda platforms in early 2023, Agoda has created a specially created augmented reality game on Instagram. The goal is to catch as many freezing items as possible (snowflakes, ice lollies, ice cubes) and avoid the hot items (tea, flames) to achieve the highest score. The game is available here instagram.com/ar/2382038961943203/ or by scanning the QR code.
The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), continues giving the gift of travel as it once again offers its trademark P1SO this 11.11.
For as low as PHP 1 one-way base fare (exclusive of fees and surcharges), Cebu Pacific’s five-day #CEBSuperSeatFest begins at 12 midnight this 11.11, up until November 15, 2022. Travel period is from February 1 to October 31, 2023, allowing eager travelers to plan their dream trips ahead across CEB’s widest domestic network and extensive international routes.
“This Christmas will be the first time many families will be celebrating together in two years, so we understand how special this season will be. We are also encouraged to see people traveling again. To kick-off the festivities and bring more people together, we are offering our trademark PISO fare,” said Candice Iyog, CEB Vice President for Marketing and Customer Experience.
Everyjuan’s travel wishes can now become reality through the airline’s p1so sale. Whether passengers want to visit beach destinations such as Boracay and Dumaguete; or have a food trip in Davao, Dipolog, or Tacloban – all these and more are up for grabs now.
International travels for 2023 are also within reach as destinations continue to ease requirements for tourists, resulting in CEB adding direct flights to more destinations as well. This includes Bali and Jakarta in Indonesia; Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam; Bangkok in Thailand; Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia; and many more.
Passengers with existing travel funds may use these to pay for flights and add-ons during CEB’s seat sales. Apart from Travel Fund, other payment options may also be used, such as payment centers, credit/debit cards, and e-wallets.
To date, CEB flies to a total of 34 domestic and 19 international destinations. The airline continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety while it operates with a 100% fully vaccinated crew, 95% of whom have been boosted – all to ensure everyJuan flies safely and conveniently on Cebu Pacific.
Ever wondered what lunar events really meant? Or why astrology enthusiasts plan events in their life around lunar events? Well, this is your chance to satiate that curiosity! This coming November 7-8, we’re going to have ourselves a Blood Moon, a total lunar eclipse that blocks light in the perfect way to color the moon in a beautiful, reddish hue.
Though the Blood Moon seems ominous in appearance and concept, it’s actually more profound than one might think. When the bright, shining moon gets eclipsed, we now have the opportunity to explore the part of our lives that we often overlook. When life moves fast, we can easily miss so much. This forecasted Blood Moon is a wonderful opportunity to focus our attention on slowness, silence, and seeking sanctuary.
What brings us peace? What can we do to step out of a very chaotic world for a moment so we can recalibrate and find our footing again? Sometimes sanctuary is right under our noses…a click away even!
This 11.11, soothe that struggle with the powerful Blood Moon energy and set your sights on some peace and quiet with Klook’s selection of staycation hotspots all over the Philippines.
Give in to that desire to slow time down in some of the best hotels and resorts in Manila, Boracay, Cebu, Tagaytay, Batangas, Baguio, Palawan, and Bohol.
If you prefer a road trip on cruise control mode, Quest Hotel Tagaytay is a hop and a skip away south of Metro Manila. If you want something up north though, you can also escape for the weekend at Las Casas Filipinas de Azucar in Bagac.
But for the staycation fans out there looking for a change of scene but still with their finger at the pulse of city life, Okada Manila is the perfect getaway from the grind.
Bring the little ones to a whimsical world of Jack o’ Lantern at Dusit Thani Manila this Halloween.
