We enjoyed a little picnic and a lazy afternoon on this pretty island. We did not do snorkelling this time and just enjoyed our time on the beach. My husband bought some beer at the shop. They seemed to have a good selection of snacks.

Nice place to chill. There are hammocks . Blasting of music kinda ruins the mood. At Malcapuya island there was no music and u could hear the waves and breeze. Here, there’s blasting music so it kinda makes it feel more touristy.

Banana Island was my favorite island when we did our island hopping tour. We stopped by this island for lunch and stayed for about an hour and a half. The water was crystal clear. The island was clean and well maintained. I would have loves to stay longer. Will definitely book a private boat next time we visit Coron. Prefer to stay at Banana Island than Malcapuya Island.

There are many nice beaches to visit while island hopping and Banana Island is one of them. Great water, white sand and great views. Makes it easy to relax and enjoy the views.

Wow... Such a Great place to be for 7 days/nights. In these days we were the only visitors on the Island, i. The area. Great fish, Rice and veggies each day for all meals. I miss these simple days. Water 30degrees and air 30. Balance. 30minutes to walk around the Island. Isolation at its best.
Dogs (on other Islands barking) and waves the only sounds to break up your night. Gorgeous space way back when. Great hosts. Hope the coral is growing back.

I enjoyed taking a dip in the crystal clear water and taking photos around the island, especially in the nice little hammocks scattered around the area.

Banana Island: Swim and snorkel in the clear turquoise waters near the open sea at Banana Island. A popular stop on an island-hoping package, the island features a narrow strip of white sandy beach

My husband and I stayed at Banana Island for five nights. Didn't want to just visit with Island hopping for short time with other people.
Facebook page is run by family member but they don't contact each other, when we arrived they didn't know about our "booking". Showed the conversation but told that's not them.
Also website needs update, price is very different.
It's a private island run by father, son and workers. It was off season and no chef, means dinner was catch by one of the workers Utte (I don't know how to spell, sorry) and however he cooked and we loved it. Fish, vegetable and rice, simply delicious.
Water was clear and no rubbish as they clean the beach all the time. Coral is everywhere right front of your accommodation and you can try other parts of the Island. It is very colorful by coral and lot's of fish. Except the last night, we were the only couple stayed on the island, it was peaceful and relaxing.
They were kind and we enjoyed their company. They have only limited amount of snacks, instant noddles and drinks (yes they have cold beer), recommend to take some food with you. We took some basic food, like fruit, snacks, milk, coffee, tea, water and bread.
We saw boats arrived every day on Island hopping but it was only a short time and didn't bother us, actually we enjoyed observing them.

The three-island tour that we got included this island. it was our second stop where we had lunch as part of the tour package. Island was nice but lunch was very crowded.

Hello,
If i want to stay in Banana Island Resort, the wood cottages, do I have to take my own food?
Is it possible to get sea food around there?
Thank you very much.

From Manila, you need to get a flight to Busuanga, from the airport, the hotel will pick you up and take you to Coron. There are lots of boats there on their pier. You may hire one of the boats to take you to Banana island.
