Chindonan Dive and Beach Resort

I absolutely adore and enjoy this island. It was a private, beautiful, gorgeous property freshly cooked food breakfast lunch, and dinner. You can go scuba diving on different spots, snorkeling, island hopping.

The transfers arranged by the hotel were easy and efficient. The location is stunning!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful resort. A wonderful surprise awaited us at our checkin, both breakfast and supper were included in the price of our room. (Im not sure if that was mentioned in the write-up about this resort) And the food was great. Our room was clean and comfy although the wifi at the room was sketchy at best. It was good in the common area. The staff, led by Matt, were the best and did everything to accommodate us.

Chindonan is located in a remote place and I had no problem getting there after being picked up at the port from the ferry - 45 minute speedboat ride. I came here for the diving and it did not disappoint. The food at the restaurant was tasty and offered a variety, including for vegetarians. All units require many steps to get there so it’s not for those who don’t want or cannot walk distances and stairs.

When we discover the bill, we were not agree to pay the tranfert (very expensive 4500 pesos) because it had to be free (as mentionned in hotel.com). The owner became suddenly an other man, agressiv, violent and we felt like Hostages in a crook island. Be careful, a dangerous man. We refused to.pay and finaly he accepted. Atmosphere was creepy. This doesn't concern philipinos who were friendly. Avoid this island

Vi havde det skønneste ophold på Chindonan. Vi blev hentet på vores hotel i Coron by og sejlet med privat speedbåd ud til resortet. En kæmpe oplevelse i sig selv. Værelserne er store, moderne og rummelige, med den smukkeste havudsigt. Resortet har sit eget koralrevet lige ud for hotellet. Personalet er venlige og yderst imødekommende. Opholdet er inkl. morgen og aftensmad, der om aftenen består af en lækker buffet med både lokale og internationale retter. Professionelle dykkerinstruktører og dykkerudstyr i tip top stand. Selve resortet er ikke så stort, hvilket giver det en rigtig hyggelig familiær stemning. Dette sted gjorde vores ferie på Filippinerne til noget helt særligt, takket være de søde ejerne og et fantastisk personale.

My experience at the hotel was very terrible and very bad. It was the worst experience of my life. The staff over there was totally not helpful. They charge for literally everything and there are so many hidden costs. They charge for snorkelling gear aswell and they even charge for towels And they don't tell about this at first only at the time of final billing they include all the charges. Dive instructor / Manager -Kenith (Denmark) is very bad and rude and he doesn't know how to behave with customers. He was not helpful and he was very rude and he doesn't know how to talk to ladies aswell I will definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone Don't go there at all You will have a very bad experience. Dive instructor Shawn from UK is really good and he was helpful and scuba diving with him was out of the world But other than that the experience was really really bad

We loved this resort! The views are fantastic! Each unit has a terrace for sitting and enjoying the views. They also have made several other places with comfortable chairs and hammocks to sit and enjoy the time. All sorts of water sports are available: kayaks, snorkeling, island hopping, and of course diving! We are not divers but we loved everything else. I went out snorkeling right in front of the resort, straight from our lounge chair. It was gorgeous. Everything we did was gorgeous! The staff is super nice and professional. The food was delicious. We loved it all. Jut a warning: my husband and I are in our 70s and this resort is geared towards a younger set. You have to hop on and off boats and there is a lot of climbing of stairs. But for us it was no problem. Just be warned that if you have mobility issues, this isn't the place for you. Otherwise, we are going back for sure!!

Ken, Sean, Johanas and thw diving crew were excellent. The resort is well positioned to access all the ship wrecks in the bsy. The local girls who operate the kitchen were fantastic. Evening buffet provided great meals and a variety of seafood, curries and fresh salads. I can highly recommend this resort for those divers who wish to be in the middle of the Coron Bay and direct access to the wrecks.

Quaint... this is a family owned and operated place that is very upscale hostel. A lot of work to keep the place up as it’s semi remote.. The operator has done a lot of work to make the place work. The food is quite good as the breakfast and dinners are included in the daily rate. Lunch is okay and not overly expensive... wonderful staff All of them. Good value

I like the staff and and service. But I don't really like the way they schedule the electricity. Sometimes when you stay in the resort and you need to use electricity, you have to wait until specific time

Nice beautiful Ressort on Chindonan Island, approx. 60min boat ride from Coron Harbor. The owner is a friendly dutch guy who runs the ressort for more than 12 years now. The staff is perfect and the food was simply amazing. You get breakfast and dinner included and they cook everything fresh. Also diving is great there and Shawn the dive instructor is doing a perfect job from DSD till instructor training. The rooms get renovated bit by bit so you can be lucky and get a new one or just the older ones which are a little worn, but nevertheless clean and equipped with everything you need. I would definitely come back!

Extremely nice and supportive staff. Great diving experience with top divnmaster.

Cons: The owner is very arrogant, rude and dislikes kids. He is present the entire time and watches every single move of yours very closely which made us felt uncomfortable. He constantly complained about the kids when he saw them in the common area.The room was without AC when requested for AC we were charged p800 per night. There was extra charge for bed per kid p2300 therefore our entire stay total cost was doubled not to our expectation. We only needed one bed but the owner said he would charges us for 2 regardless cus we had two kids. Worst of all! the running water for shower was worst, it was literally droplets of water for shower. Fyi; the owner’s dog is loose and all over the place in case you are afraid of dogs.Barely any internet to none. Basically not a kid friendly environment. Overall felt we were way overcharged! Pros: Great local ladies with very friendly and good customer service at front desk and kitchen. Daily breakfast and dinner was served freshly. The ladies went out of their way to help you. Island hoping and scuba diving lessons and instructors were good

Chindonan var himmel på jord. De ansatte var ekstremt behjelpelige og flinke. Det er mange ting å gjøre i nærområdet, som å snorkle i husrevet, leie en kajakk eller arrangere turer gjennom hotellet. Vi ønsket oss en avslappet tur uten for mye turister, og dette var perfekt for nettopp det. Vi hadde muligheten til å føle oss helt alene og oppdage nærområdet. Vi var der fire netter, men skulle gjerne hatt en uke til.

Good hotel excellent diving experience Nice staff Very good diving team and super nice.

Tutto ok direi Personale gentilissimo Unico problema lo stacco della corrente alle 7 del mattino! Dovrebbero spostarlo alle 9.

Our family loved it. Genuine hotel and ownership with respect to nature and eco-sustainability. Great hospitality combined with excellent food. We enjoyed the scuba diving, kayak & snorkeling possibilities.

Perfect location for diving with coral reefs and ship wrecks just a short boat ride away or - actually- in front of the hotel.
