Great Stay, & great Vacation”
At first, we booked from a different hotel and our last night in Coron we tried GMG hotel. The hotel was conviently located near the restaurants and shops. Upon checking-in we requested to be placed at the top floor and they said that it was subject for availablity but after a few minutes, they complied to our request. We liked where our room was situated--nice view of the sea. The room was simple yet nice & clean and the towels are relatively new too! we liked that their bed because it was a bit bigger compared to our previous hotel we stayed in. Good airconditioning since its summertime here. This hotel is not a 5 star hotel, but you have everything you need. The lack of electricity is a common problem in Coron and I was impressed that GMG hotel has their own back up generator so that we, the guests can still enjoy our airconditioned room. The staff even accompanied me to the market to get some dried fish for pasalubong before we leave. They also sell water and some snacks so its a plus for us. Their breakfast was delish, plus you can have as much bread with pineapple jam and coffee! Will be definitely staying here again, next time with our whole family. Thank you GMG hotel and to your exeptional staff!

Great Location but be minful of tour packages offered”
GMG Hotel is recommendable bec of the following: LOCATION-definitely in the center of everything ROOM FOR GROUPS- we didn't expect the room to be so big for us a group of 5 BREAKFAST- is satisfying! they bake their own bread and it is super delicious! SERVICES- Staffs are friendly and they provide us with everything we need. In our experience, GMG has been very helpful in our van pick-up and transfers however, in terms of tours such as island hopping, their rate are not competitive and a higher that other tour providers. In our case, we coordinated with Ning the front desk agent at that time wherein we got a discount for the private boat of PHP 2,500.00 instead of Php 3k and we were given a copy of a list of entrance fees, as I consider myself as a travel planner I did do research for the trip and noticed that the all the entrance fees given were multiplied by two. When asked if we can just pay only the boat to them and pay directly the entrance fee per destination they disagreed and told us we have to pay them full as the entrance fees will be paid at the "munisipyo" (city hall). She even mentioned that all entrance fee has went up but cannot give us the exact date when it changed as I compared it to the most recent blogs. We understand that this is business and thoughtfully declined their tour package as this is too much for us and too many questions in our heads. Last minute, we booked our tour with Coron Galeri for a package of PHP 1600/head with food, snorkeling gear and a private boat which is so worth every penny! Tip: DO RESEARCH. I asked the our contact person from Coron Galeri the rate of entrance fees which proved that the one given to us by Ning was doubled. (not surprising) but then this is business. No hard feelings! Overall our stay in GMG Hotel is great and would surely recommend this to friends and family :)

Simply Amazing =)”
My room had an amazing sea view, breakfast was delicious, they had free coffee bread and pineapple jam, I started my day with a Coron Island tour and the destinations in Coron are breath-taking, the hotel arranged the tours with a 3rd party, so I paid extra for the arrangement but it did not matter it was cheap. The Hotel was located at the center of Town, near to everything you can imagine, from the restaurants, spas, and tour destinations and even the market, The hotel was so affordable compared to other hotels, I even ask if I could buy fresh seafood from the market, ask the chef to cook the food at the hotel and it was possible. Fresh “Lapu-Lapu” was cook deliciously, I had a great dining experience. The hotel has friendly staff, and good wi-fi at the restaurant. They accepted my credit card, and was approved. But the Tour I paid in Cash because they only arranged for it, during my stay I craved for playing tennis and true enough some staff overheard and arranged me to play tennis at the plaza, and I just rented out the racket, everything was incredibly satisfying and will definitely stay back at GMG Hotel

Excellent hotel for tourist! Friendly Staff and awesome service”
My friends were able to stay at GMG Hotel last October 6 to 9 2017. Upon arrival the receptionist Ate Ning greeted us with a warm welcome. Since we were too early our bags were put away for safekeeping . She was also kind enough to offer us to stay at the lobby or at the dining area to rest (all of the rooms are occupied). The staff greeeted us. All of them are nice enough and recommended places we can go and eat. The hotel is at the town proper and the location is accessible to all the tourist spots and pasalubong area. Everything is just a walk away! Me and my friends will definitely return again and stay at GMG Hotel! :) Thanks again GMG! You are all awesome!

We stayed for 9 nights at GMG hotel. The location is perfect! It's near many restaurants and bars and also near the port area. The room has all the amenities we need. The breakfast was delicious! Staff are all nice and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to everyone! Will stay here again next timewe're in Coron.

Dear Doriss, Thank you for taking the time to review our property, your comments are very much valued. We appreciate your kind comments regarding our amenities, breakfast, staffs and our location. We are very pleased that you found value and hospitality during your stay. We look forward to serve you again on your next trip to Coron! Best Regards!
It's so nice to be back!”
I like how GMG Hotel is centrally-located in Coron and how very easy it is to check-in. I also like how there is an open area in the middle of the hotel. My uncle had some minor issues with the noisy a/c and windows, but GMG let us moved to another room, which has a better view btw. Breakfasts are delicious, however, the portions are quite small. We're all starving before lunchtime. They also let us borrow extra towels for free. We stayed here for 4 days, and can't say any experience. So yes, I do recommend GMG Hotel.

Marveloussa second to none!”
Second to none! We were greeted with a welcome cool citrus drink to quench our thirst after 30 mins drive from Busuanga Airport. Room and bath very comfy. Breakfast is delish! Hotel clean and orderly! Staff is helpful and always there for you! Can't wait for our next trip and definitely GMG AGAIN! Highly recommended! Everything is within your reach at GMG! Thank you GMG!

The staff are good, friendly and accomodating.”
i enjoy my stay at the gmg hotel, aircon is good, bathroom do have hot and cold. food is great, staff are friendly. the only thing i questioned is the shuttle service, they charge me pesos for our shuttle upon arriving & departing from the hotel. i saw on your site its provided with shuttle, but when we get there they said its not included.

Great vacation”
When we got to Coron, the electricity was unreliable, good thing the hotel has generator so we slept comfortably during the night.The following day, we asked the receptionist to arrange our itinerary and they obliged and recommended the popular beaches to visit. We will surely be back to this place because of the services and facilities of this hotel. Location is very convenient and it is very near to all commercial establishments. **Tip: Visit twin lagoon and Banol beach, and during the night, visit the hotspring. Their fresh seafood are delicious.

Very warm hotel staff”
our family had a great time. hotel is located right across the popular eating places. coron souvenir shop is a short tricycle ride away. i got really good quality dried fish from a nearby store. san agustin church is also a quick tricycle ride away or 7 minute walk. the hotel has a tour coordinator who is very efficient s and accommodating. i would really recommend the hotel to my friends and relatives. rooms are small but we didn't mind since it's really just for sleeping. we were out most of the time. there's a halo halo place right across. place is always full coz they serve great shakes.

Top location, top staff, top room! ”
the hotel is located in the very centre of coron town overlooking the beautiful sea, which gives easy access to all destinations (scooter shops, coron bistro, bars, the plaza and market etc.). the hotel staff was very friendly and helped me out with every request i had during my stay. my room was clean, large enough with working a/c, hot shower and tv. all in all, top score!

Coron, Palawan break Jan 2017”
30 mins transfer from airport PHP 150 (£2.40), on arrival greeted by the most friendly Reception (Ruby & co). Arrived early for check-in so left our bags and went for merienda (snack) just across the road at WG restaurant. The room was clean and beds comfortable, aircon unit & tv. Hot and cold shower, although water pressure a bit low. Beautiful views across the bay/port from the rooftop terrace & balcony. Reception able to book island hopping & beach tours (including transfers). Great location for absolutely everything: coffee shops (Coffee Kong), restaurants (Altrove Italian), Blue Moon (variety), & bars, barber shop, diving school & awesome (Meryl's) massage parlour next door! Will definitely be staying here on my next vacation to Coron! Would give it 5* if it was not for the dodgy/weak wifi.

TeamBUKAS Coron Adventure”
We stayed at GMG Aug. 3-5, 2018 with my friends. We booked for a family room with 5 beds! the room is big. but the pillows are not well maintained as it smells bad! the location is great as it is almost at the center of town with lots of restaurants nearby and walking distance to a lot of tourist spot! the staffs are accommodating. it has a free simple breakfast.

Awesome friendly experience for the value of what you pay!”
The location of this hotel is right in the middle of the divide of the main street which puts you right in the middle of everything. Restaurants/Bars right across the street, souvenir shops on each side, drug store/markets within feet, local vendors selling awesomely cheap price food and accessories. You are right in the middle of all the excitement NOT to mention the AMAZING view in the mornings of the bay where all your tours begin!

I am sure there is better at Coron”
I was disappointed. The only thing to like is the location. Wifi was non existent. In 6 days it never worked. I could connect to the server but there it ended because it was so slow. Other locations at Coron do have reasonable wifi so it is available there. Two coffee cafes near to GMG have good wifi most of the time. Not the end of the world but the hot water did not work in my room. I mentioned this to the staff, possibly the owner and the reply was just turn the water flow down. When I rechecked the power light indicated no power to the unit and it was plugged in so I checked the fuse box. All ok there so I just gave up but the attitude left a lot to be desired. The breakfast was so bad I gave up on it after 2 tries,,,they only go thru the motions,, eggs must be prepared hours in advance b/c they are always cold and I tried corned beef one time. It was slimy so I passed on that. At least the toast was good. I would not stay there again. In six days they never cleaned the room or replaced the towel so I am saying cleanliness was 2 stars

This hotel is centrally located.”
My family is having the best experience in Coron, and this hotel helped a lot, they arrange our airport pickup, they arranged our Calauit safari tour. This place is near good food restaurants and beer.

Feels like a cruise ship suite”
The room was ok, rather small so don't expect to see a hotel room like in Las Vegas. The bathroom was tiny. The edge of the sink was slightly over the toilet and the shower was not separate from the toilet area. The floor of the entire bathroom gets wet when you shower. Water pressure was weak. Because you're in town, there are a few restaurants nearby. The hotel has a restaurant but it's not quite fully functional yet (Dec 2012). If all you need is a place to crash, this will do.

Very helpful frontdesk and staff”
Pros: Exceptional frondesk, Ning and staff. They assisted us with all our needs. Large room. Toilet and sink are new. Good water pressure. They have lots of loose hangers. Location, town and bay view. Flat screen tv with many channels. Good breakfast with unlimited coffee, and unlimited toast with yummy coconut jam. Cons: Could't connect with wifi at all. Aircon is weak but they provided us a stand fan, thank you. It's very loud since it's located at the center, we hardly slept and this was the only reason why we have to move to another hotel.

Good location but needs work”
This is a new Hotel but really for the Filippino market and not so good for Foreigners looking for something inexpensive but reasonable. The location is great right in Coron town. The best thing about this is the owner who has been referred to in other reviews. She is very friendly and helpful and offered me a much better room in the afternoon at her own initiation at no additional cost. The effort is there but rooms dont have much in the way of cutains so its light early and toilet is right under the shower and there are many little things that are odd that you would not expect to see in a new hotel. The breakfast was terrible (cold egg and cold rice) so I went and paid for breakfast at a Swiss place on the following morning a few doors away even though it was included for free in my rate. If I asked the owner lady she probably would have something prepared for me fresh but she wasnt there and I am not the type of person to really complain to the other staff. If not for the lady owner who tries as hard as possible I say unsatisfied but it just gets through with overall satisfied.
