Perfect Vacation

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 15, 2024via mobile
We stayed here for 2 nights with a couple of our friends. Rented out the Super Halfglass Houseboat. It exceeded our expectations. Yes we may have paid more for just the 4 of us but location and its room were simply surreal. Staff were prompt and always were there to cater for your every need and any other questions you may have. We took a private half day tour and another to hire the boat to take us to the main town of Coron. Both experiences were amazing. Food was generous in size and tasted as yummy as it looks. Overall we honestly can say we all loved this place and the people were absolutely the icing on the cake. I do hope to come back and visit. Would definitely recommend this to all friends and family back home. Thank you Paolyn ❤️❤️❤️

We had spent 4 nights here and this eco-friendly houseboats are ONE IN A MILLION!
From my making my booking to communications on payment, arrival and departure, activities offered and many more, it were super seamless and friendly!
We were met at Busuanga airport and then to a boat transfer to their main boathouse were done within an hour 😅
We were checked-in and briefed on safety and then to our dream boathouse by boat.
It was naturally built usong bamboo and floating in a huge lagoon with crystal blue water. Time stood still and we had a relaxing stay with 2 boat tours to the most colourful coral reefs and marine lifes and not forgetting, pristine beaches.
The service and food here is top notch, always in contact with a hp provided.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beautiful houseboat as their philosophy of giving back to the tribes is really commendable!

We have always wanted to visit Coron but have always delayed it due to the travelling route. After many years, we chance upon a travel video on the ease of it, we decided to take a leap of faith.
Looking for a place to stay was difficult as we do not want to stay in Coron town where everyone is, so when we again chance on Paolyn Houseboat on Youtube, we were sold!
Booking was super easy and we were constantly in communication via Whatsapp and payment instructions were super clear. Everything that we need to know were communicated ie. Pick-up from Busuanga Airport (included), boat transfer (included) etc.
We chose a Bamboo Suite and were not disappointed. From arrival, we were briefed on safety, meal orders and tours etc. You can choose everything that suit to your intineraries or just chilled in your room. We chose to stay from the 12-16 May as we want the full nature, sun and sea experiences. We were awed at how everything is super friendly to the environment and super clean surrounding.
Our room is in the middle of a lagoon with canoes, life jackets and snorkeling gears (provided) so that you can paddle around or even dive into the crystal clear water.
The food here are extremely delicious and they even delivered to your room by boat if you choose to and pick you up to the main restaurant too!
Highly recommend this one in a million experince that $$$ cannot buy!

We stayed at Paolyn for 2 nights on the front end of our Philippines trip. We loved this place. We stayed in the Super Glass half houseboat. Initially, we were a little upset since our half was facing the mountain (not bay like video) but we ended up really liking our side by the end of the trip. If you are looking for a particular side of the Super Glass boat, you should request it with your reservation. Outside of that hiccup, we really enjoyed this place. We did 2 boat tours: one to the beaches and the other to Barracuda Lake and Kayangan Lake. Great experiences. We had massages at our houseboat on day 2 (highly recommend). Food was decent. Service was top notch. I’d like to give a big shout out to Mikz. He really went out of his way to resolve my initial disappointment when I discovered our side of the houseboat was not what I watched in the video. He actually made some changes on the website after our discussion so others staying here would be more aware. That’s service and a demonstration of genuine care!! Thank you everyone for an amazing experience. We will be sure to stay again if we find ourselves in Coron again.

This is an amazing project, setup by an amazing man with an even more amazing story. A wonderful team and situated in what I can only describe as one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot of places)
We stayed 3 nights only in the half house (forgot the name) , so it was quite pricey ($800 NZD per night). Our entire bedroom wall opens up to the stunning private coral lagoon.

It's such an incredible experience to be able to jump out of your room and straight into snorkeling with so many fish and sea life!
The food was spectacular, including the lobster, local tribe salad and basically everything we had. Prices were extremely reasonable considering how remote and difficult of an operation it is.
The staff are very genuine, kind and down to earth. Some are not as trained as others, but that's to be expected and makes sense when thinking about how this was all set up.
I can go on forever but I highly recommend Paolyn Boathouse and I will be back . A+++

Staying at Paolyn Houseboats is the best way to experience Coron. It is truly unique.
Unique because it is so relaxing and mind blowingly beautiful to stay/float in a beautiful bay surrounded by limestone cliffs. Your pool is the sea, just jump out of your bedroom when you feel a bit hot! Kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel equipment are provided. Our family of 6 adults stayed for 4 nights in a half superglass houseboat with 2 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a very large private deck equipped with tables/chairs and sun lounges. All your meals can be delivered to your table or you can call the captain to have your meals at the restaurant in the next bay. Food was very good.
Staff is very friendly, attentive and accomodating.
We did our excursions with Paolyn houseboats which proved to be very easy. Paolyn houseboats are the only accomodation in Coron, so you can beat the crowds.
It is also unique because Paolo and Lyn are employing and training members of the local Tagbanwa tribe. It is a challenge that they have undertaken to give them better prospects and for that, they need to be applauded and supported . Therefore, I strongly recommend a stay at Paolyn houseboats if you go to Coron.
