Coron 2009: Home Away From Home

We stayed at Mommita's Place during our 4 days stay in Coron. It was an old house that is transformed into lodge. The lodge is easy to find since many locals knows the owner and there are nearby stores to buy necessities if necessary. The owner of the house whom we called mamita is very friendly and accommodating. She always makes sure everyone is well tendered. Also she also ask one of her staff to accompany our group for the trips (a big plus to take care of the food and pics :D )


The place have 2 dinning room to accommodate all travelers staying there. The food served is so good and yummy. It was cooked by Tito Lito, Mommita's brother. Most food served is fresh seafood. Lucky if there is no high tide for those big delicious crabs served.


The room where we stayed is big and clean though it has low ceiling. It was equipped with air-con and fan. Though it was not well lighted thus you need to go to the other side of the room where the light bulb is located to be able to find stuff in the bag.

Another big plus is our comfort room is big that 2 person can take a bath on the same time particularly if you are in a big group like us or in a hurry to leave. However there is no hot water. :( But if someone don't like sharing, there is common bathroom outside.


I’ve seen also some of the other rooms (we sneak on some open doors :D)and they are also spacious and well maintained though some do not have their own bath room.

The place has a small tereza on the 2nd floor with the only cable television. It’s a nice place to spend the evening to play games, drink, smoke or just relax.


I recommend this place as one good place to stay in Coron. It’s very homey and cheaper than the other hotel in the area!
