The resort offers a tranquil setting on a private island, with beautiful views and a clean, comfortable environment. However, the service could significantly improve, as I faced long wait times and inconsistent dining experiences. I was also disappointed with the lack of essential amenities, given the price point, which didn't quite meet my expectations.

This resort is a true tropical paradise, located on a serene island surrounded by beautiful waters. The accommodations are lovely with stunning views right from the beach, but dining options could use a bit more variety. The service is exceptional, making guests feel valued and well-cared for. The only drawbacks were some limited dining choices, though the convenience of being on a private island compensates for it.

Discovery Island Resort is a serene oasis just a short boat ride from Coron town. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel valued and taken care of, and the overall experience is incredibly relaxing. While the rooms are functional, they lack some luxury, and the service could be inconsistent at times. However, the stunning setting and wonderful amenities make it a memorable stay.

The resort offers a unique experience on a secluded island just off Coron, delivering a tranquil escape with beautiful sunset views. The rooms are spacious and clean, though basic, which might not suit everyone. Although the service is generally good, we did encounter some issues with dining quality and water pressure. While the atmosphere is relaxing and the location is quite picturesque, improvements in certain facilities and customer service would elevate the overall experience.

Staying at Discovery Island Resort was a delightful experience overall. It's a hidden gem offering a peaceful atmosphere just a boat ride away from the bustling Coron Town. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and the resort had a cozy vibe, but the rooms were slightly dated, and it would be nice to see more maintenance in certain areas. The added costs with taxes were a bit surprising, too, so being aware of that is important for budgeting.
