We only stayed at Vela Terraces for one night. The booking was simple, and I couldn’t fault the value for money. The day of arrival, there was some confusion with the transfer from Coron airport to the hotel which started our stay with a bit of a wobble, however, once we arrived at the hotel and discussed the matter with the reception team, the problems were instantly rectified. The hotel staff were all delightful! The receptionist spotted on my passport that my birthday was the following morning and herself and the other staff surprised us with a little cake and wine during our evening meal (the food was delicious!). The room was beautiful; we were even offered an upgrade - it was spacious, very clean, simple but modern. The cleaning staff even removed a huge spider from our bathroom for us. All in all, we had a lovely stay and a restful night. We would happily stay again. …

Pros: Bed was comfortable and room was large. Staff was generally friendly. Location was quiet and as long as the people in the house across the way weren't singing karaoke it was quiet. Staff could arrange motorbikes, laundry service, transfers Cons: not enough electrical outlets in the room, none near the bed, none in the bathroom. Missing things like a hairdryer and safe deposit box. Room had some cleanliness issues. A variety of bugs got into the room including a large roach and spider. Staff doesn't visit the room daily so things like water, soap, toilet paper have to be asked for and sometimes they have issues providing you what you ask for. Breakfast selection was very limited and they didn't cover fruit, many flies on the fruit. If you can get a good enough deal it's okay to stay here but this hotel isn't without it's issues. Also, as others have mentioned, if you can't climb several steep stairs, don't stay here.…

DO NOT stay or book this hotel. The Reviews for this hotel are wrong. The hotel staff were completely rude and tried to give us a room #408, which is 8 flights of stairs!! When we asked for a different room they just laughed at us….. unbelievable! We asked for a refund and they told us we need to contact Booking.com. They offered no apology or any resolution. DON’T make the same mistake we did…. We will likely lose our money from this hotel. During checkin they smiled and told us that we will experience “blackouts” with power outage, between the hours of 4-11pm! I even took a photo to prove it!

Response from Vela Terraces, General Manager at Vela Terraces
Responded Jul 13, 2023
Dear Mr. Neil, We understand your frustration, but we would like to clarify our side, as some of the information you mentioned was inaccurate. 1. All the reviews we earned came from our guests, who truly appreciated our team's efforts in giving them the best experience they could have. We also know that sometimes we can't meet everyone's expectations, but that doesn't mean you can invalidate other guests opinions just because of your experience. 2. You were also aware that the room you booked was a Standard Poolside Double, which is located on the highest level of the hotel. You were even informed that your room was on a higher level upon your arrival, and it is also stated on all booking platforms that our rooms are accessible by stairs only. 3. Our staff offered you a different room for a fee (because the category was different and it was located on the lower level), but you didn't take the offer because you wanted it for free. 4. We advised you to reach out to Agoda for your refund because your payment was still with them, but you didn't request any. 5. We apologized to you and even offered a solution, but you refused it. 6. During the time of your supposed stay with us, there was ongoing load shedding; that's why we informed you beforehand, but we have generator during brownouts. It was stated in the picture you posted here. Nevertheless, thank you for considering our place, and we wish you all the best. Regards, Marvin, Manager

We stayed here for 2 nights with our family, renting 2 rooms. The rooms were clean, bathroom fine. I had to ask for kettle/coffee- but they provided this without any issues. No tea(for those of you who like tea). Nice pool, with seating outside. Restaurant was good with lovely breakfast selection. We chose to have a fruit platter (which we paid extra for), on top of the ‘breakfast plate’ per person, which was included in our room rate (we chose French toast and pancakes). Definitely worth it- plenty of fruit for 4 of us! They hotel had organised a tuk tuk to pick us up from our late ferry from El Nido (which we had to pay). The guy however, charged us 4x a normal rate (he charged us a ‘per person’ rate)- so we pain400peso, rather than about 100 (still cheap). So do be aware. Friendly staff.…

Very nice hotel with a very good restaurant. We would recommend it for your stay in coron. The location was good and you can still easily reach the center by foot or with a tricycle. Only bad point is the many stairs, which can be problematic if you are old.

Cozy hotel in the heart of Coron. We have a comfortable stay, the room is clean, the bed is soft and all the amenities you need in a hotel is there. They also have excellent service special mention to Sir Vin and Kyle for making our stay a pleasurable one. The Manggis restaurant serve great food from breakfast to dinner. You should try their Pizza if you ever in Coron. Overall, its a great stay except we are given a room at the most top floor. So if you plan to stay here make sure you get a room from the first floor coz its tiring to always use the stairs.

Accommodating and friendly staff! They provided excellent service during our stay. They even helped us book our tours on the spot, booked a motorcycle rental and helped us navigate going to Calauit Safari. They even provided an egg sandwich because they know we won't be able to eat breakfast for our early adventure. Didn't get a chance to get all the staff names but they were so friendly and always greeting us. With our rooms they provide room service everyday. Definitely a home away from home without any worry! Vela Terraces provide all kinds of services that make our stay hassle-free and smooth. Breakfast was very delicious and we also tried to dine at Maggis on our last day and it is one of our top 3 restaurants in Coron! Thank you very much for your service and will definitely come back! Stay safe always!…

This is my second time staying at Vela Terraces. This time I stayed for 1 week and had an excellent experience once again! All the staff are friendly and helpful, the room was nice and clean, and the food at the restaurant is really yummy! I would like to make a special mention of the comfortable bed because I slept so soundly throughout my entire stay. 😍 The hotel is situated near many restaurants, bars, and shops, and is also very near the boat dock for tours. It's a great place overall and will definitely keep coming back for future vacations in Coron! 🏝
